Chapter 149 Fork Out
When Qu Tong returned to the banquet again, he found that the people around him were looking at him from time to time, looking at him in subtle ways, which was obviously not a good thing.
When his eyes fell on Lan Weiying, who was the center of attention not far away, he roughly guessed the reason.
It's just that when trying to curry favor with Lan Weiying, he would compare himself to her.
Coupled with Ouyang Lina's malicious slander and exaggeration, she was portrayed as a woman who watched someone in danger do nothing and had a vicious mind, and was simply unworthy of being a prince's consort.
Lan Weiying has always been careful to maintain her image as a cool and beautiful woman, so naturally she wouldn't say anything. But sometimes silence can send a louder message than speaking.
Qu Tong took in everything Ouyang Linna said, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.
He filled half a glass of red wine, walked through the crowd and came in front of Ouyang Lina. Without even a second thought, he poured the wine directly on Ouyang Lina, and at the same time let out a heartless "Ah".
Ouyang Lina never expected Qu Tong to be so blatant that she didn't even have a chance to hide.
"Ah!" Ouyang Lina screamed and took several steps back.
Although Ouyang Lina was also wearing red and it wasn't very obvious, but after drinking such a large glass of wine, the red wine was dripping down her fingers and making her whole body wet. Who could stand it?
The people around were also stunned by this action. The two people nearby hurriedly took out tissues and handkerchiefs to wipe Ouyang Lina's face, but there was no way they could wipe it clean.
Qu Tong apologized perfunctorily: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Ouyang Lina glared at him: "You obviously did it on purpose."
"I am not."
"It's you! With so many people watching, you still want to quibble?" Ouyang Lina pointed at the little sisters who were gathered together.
Several people nodded to show that they had seen it.
There were quite a few people at the banquet, and as soon as there was any noise, they came over to watch the fun.
"They are all with you, so of course they will help you no matter what you say." Qu Tong was not afraid at all and turned his inquiring gaze to the people who had just gathered around.
Those people nodded in agreement.
Ouyang Lina was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "You spilled red wine all over me, how could I have wronged you?"
"Who knows? After all, it costs nothing to spread rumors. If there is one, there will be two." Qu Tong smiled.
Ouyang Lina now understood that Qu Tong was alluding to what she had just said. She really thought that Qu Tong was so noble that she didn't care, so she deliberately said loudly:
"Did I say anything wrong? You just watched Young Master Lan die without helping him. You were also the one who caused the mental turmoil after Young Master Lan returned."
"There were so many people there at that time, why didn't you ask them why they didn't go to rescue them? What does Third Young Master Lan's mental outburst have to do with me? Ask your Second Miss Lan, who took the first step?" Ouyang Lina's words did not irritate Qu Tong, and she put the pressure on Lan Weiying in a clear and orderly manner.
Everyone's eyes followed Qu Tong and turned to the cold goddess Lan Weiying.
Lan Weiying froze for a moment, then revealed an impeccable smile: "The competition has a points doubling mechanism, and there is nothing wrong with competing with each other."
Lan Weiying's answer was very thoughtful and seemed frank. In fact, she did not give a direct response but simply shifted the responsibility to the competition mechanism.
"Let's deal with Miss Ouyang's issue first. Be careful not to catch a cold." Lan Weiying said caringly and changed the subject.
Ouyang Linna also felt a chill after hearing what Lan Weiying said. Although this was nothing for her S-level physique, it could not cover up the fact that Qu Tong made her look bad in public.
"Humph, you just came here to throw red wine on me out of anger."
"You are just spreading rumors." It was impossible to admit it. Anyway, the surveillance was behind her, and Ouyang Lina was surrounded by people from the same circle.
"What rumor did I spread about you?"
"What do you think?"
"Do you know how expensive my skirt is?"
"It's okay. My Highness has plenty of money."
Ouyang Lina: "..."
Everyone at the scene: “…”
Qu Tong used group control to silence everyone.
The quarrel here still attracted the attention of the elders on the other side.
Also arriving were Song Ke, the Queen Mother, and Nian Nian carrying a fish tank.
The fish tank was wrapped in a transparent plastic shell like a birthday cake.
Every year when the new year comes, she calls me "Auntie Imperial" sweetly.
Qu Tong smiled and touched the little princess' head.
Song Ke also asked with concern: "You didn't suffer any loss, did you?"
Qu Tong pouted at the furious Ouyang Lina and said, "Do you think I'm at a disadvantage?"
Song Ke looked at Ouyang Lina's disheveled appearance, then looked at Qu Tong's sloppy appearance, and secretly gave Qu Tong a thumbs up.
"What's going on?" The queen had long since put away her gentle side, displaying the demeanor of a mother of a country in front of outsiders.
Even a frown and a raised eye gave people a sense of oppression, not to mention the group of personal guards following him.
Ouyang Lina lifted her wet skirt, looked at her father, and mustered up the courage to say, "Queen, the prince's wife just deliberately spilled red wine on me."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Ouyang family raised his voice and questioned, "Is that so? Second Prince's wife."
"It was not intentional. It was an accident. I will compensate Miss Ouyang for the original price of her skirt. Miss Ouyang, please don't make up rumors about me for no reason."
The rumor spread from one person to another, from two to four, and everyone had heard something about it, including the queen.
The queen pointed to a random bystander in a neat and tidy manner: "Tell me about the situation."
The person who was called was a little nervous, but still recounted what had just happened truthfully.
After hearing this, everyone had different expressions.
Because the person who was called out did not see how Ouyang Lina's skirt got dirty, he spoke very objectively, mainly talking about the dispute between Qu Tong and Ouyang Lina afterwards.
Everyone heard that Qu Tong accidentally spilled red wine and was apologizing, but Ouyang Linna insisted on accusing her of doing it on purpose. Qu Tong denied it the whole time, and Ouyang Linna's evidence was not convincing.
"This is just an accident. What does Master Ouyang think?" The Queen looked at Master Ouyang.
Of course, the head of the Ouyang family wanted to believe his daughter, but he was on his feet and was in a dilemma.
Lan Weiying spoke at this time: "I happened to be next to Miss Ouyang. The actions of the prince's wife should not be unexpected. I wonder if my words can serve as a testimony?"
In everyone's mind, Lan Weiying is the high and mighty second lady of the Pharmacists' Union. She has an idol filter and naturally disdains to lie.
As soon as they heard her stand up and speak, the balance in everyone's hearts began to waver, and Ouyang Lina and the head of the Ouyang family also showed excitement and gratitude in their eyes.
"Have you forgotten that the last rumor Miss Ouyang spread was related to you?" Qu Tong hit the nail on the head.
Lan Weiying was stunned, looked at Qu Tong deeply, and stopped talking.
Finally, the Queen said, "In that case, Miss Ouyang is not in good shape now, so it is better for her to go down and clean up."
He waved to the guards behind him and said, "Come here, take Miss Ouyang to the plainclothes room in the backyard."
Qu Tong was just marveling at the queen's majesty and authority when his sleeve was pulled.
She looked down and saw Niannian waving his little fleshy hands at her, blinking his shrewd big eyes, motioning her to lower her head.
Qu Tong squatted down and leaned over to listen.
Then I heard Nian Nian whispering, "In fact, the Empress Dowager has long wanted to get rid of the bad guy."
