Qiaolian quickly pulled Jiang Segu away, preventing him from being bumped into.
Jiang Segu was caught off guard by the sudden pull and staggered a couple of times.
Before they could even stand up straight, the woman in green spoke.
"Hey, who's this? In broad daylight, running into a man! Are you like your mother, desperate for a man and afraid no one will want you, so you're throwing yourself into someone's arms!"
The woman in yellow chimed in, "Fifth sister, you're mistaken! Her mother's methods of seducing men back then were even more despicable than hers; she shamelessly led men directly into her boudoir!"
"Fourth sister is wrong! At least her mother initially targeted the young master of the Marquis's mansion, but she's indiscriminate in her pursuit, not even sparing the servants in our household!"
The woman in green's words elicited a malicious giggle.
Upon seeing who it was, Jiang Segu's hatred surged uncontrollably.
She's a girl from the Song family!
In his previous life, if it weren't for the Song family's behind-the-scenes manipulation, how could Liang Shaojie alone have brought such a terrible end to the Yin family, the number one merchant family in the world!
She didn't go looking for trouble with the Song family, but the Song family rushed over to be taught a lesson!
In the past, she was reckless and impulsive, often getting provoked into rolling up her sleeves and rushing forward to fight. In the end, she would be the one covered in bruises, except for her face, which remained unmarked. Meanwhile, the Song family members, seeing her scratching and clawing them, didn't suffer much loss, only looking disheveled.
So, not only did she have to apologize, but she also had to be punished when she got home!
Now that she has been reborn, she can no longer grant these people's wishes; she must also make them taste what it's like to be manipulated!
"Qiaolian, quick, quick, help me take a look! These people are the young ladies from Grand Tutor Song's residence!"
"In reply to your question, miss, it is indeed the two young masters and three young ladies from the residence of Grand Tutor Song."
Song Wu Guniang scoffed, "Jiang Segu, your attempt to feign blindness is far too clumsy!"
Jiang Segu chuckled and said, "As everyone knows, Grand Tutor Song is a man of great learning and virtue. I imagine that under his tutelage, even if the younger generation in the manor does not surpass him, they will at least be knowledgeable and reasonable!"
But what kind of obscene words did you just use? Even a girl from an ordinary family would never say such things!
Or is it that the Song family's upbringing is exceptional?!
With a blazing fire in her eyes, Song Si-guniang angrily said, "Jiang Se-gu, stop twisting the truth! Since your mother dared to commit such a despicable act of seducing men, how can you not admit it!"
"Then I must ask Miss Song for some advice. You weren't even born back then, so how could you be so sure that my mother was in the wrong?!"
Miss Song said arrogantly, "There's no smoke without fire! You ask me why I'm so sure? Your brother, Qixingzi, is the best proof!"
To put it nicely to outsiders, it's all because your mother was shameless and flaunted her charms to seduce my uncle. She lost her virginity before marriage and used her pregnancy to coerce my uncle into marrying your mother!
Otherwise, how could your mother, the daughter of a mere imperial merchant, possibly be worthy of marrying into a marquis's household?
Jiang Wu immediately chimed in, "Exactly! She's clearly a lowly wretch; even if she climbs to the top, she'll never become a phoenix!"
Jiang Segu's expression turned cold upon hearing this, and his fists clenched so tightly they ached before he managed to suppress the urge to hit someone.
This is my mother's shop. If she starts a fight, not only will it affect the shop's business, but the Song family might also extort money from her!
"The Song family is a family of scholars and officials, how could there be such people as you who speak such nonsense! I don't know if it's because of poor family education or because the young ladies are so wicked, you are really hard to teach!"
I wonder if Grand Tutor Song is aware of what you have been doing outside?
Grand Tutor Song is a trusted minister who assists the Emperor. If your actions were to spread, wouldn't it cause great anxiety among the people?
"If one cannot even govern a single room, how can one govern the nation and its people?"
The implication is that if you can't even teach your own people properly, how can they possibly assist the emperor?
The Song family girls were speechless for a moment.
When did Jiang Segu become so eloquent?
The young men and women of the Song family no longer dared to speak recklessly as before, and each of them blushed with embarrassment.
They've already brought up the grandfather and the emperor; what else can they say, and what else would they dare to say!
"Seeing that everyone is silent, it seems that Grand Tutor Song is unaware of how arrogant and domineering you are outside! In that case, I will do a good deed today!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Go buy a gong!"
Qiaolian didn't understand, but she did as she was told!
Qiaolian quickly bought the gong!
Jiang Segu stood in the middle of the road with a gong in his hand and banged it a few times.
It attracted the attention of pedestrians on the street, and people in various shops also peeked inside.
"Dear neighbors, my daughter has a favor to ask. Just now, the young lady from the Song family was behaving arrogantly at my Treasure Pavilion. I would like to ask you all to go to Donghua Gate on my behalf and inform the Song family of this matter."
Your chivalrous spirit should not be measured by material possessions, but I cannot let you suffer in vain. Therefore, I wish to offer twenty taels of silver as a token of my gratitude to anyone who goes to inform me. I hope you will not find me materialistic!
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this!
Twenty taels of silver!
So, what happened at Zhenbaozhai just now?
We can't just let them make things up!
As doubts arose among the crowd, the third young master of the Song family, his face contorted with anger, pointed at Jiang Segu with his fan and rebuked him: "Jiang Segu, you're just stirring up trouble!"
Everyone: Look! Young Master Song is so angry and embarrassed that he's about to hit someone with his fan!
"Just now at Zhenbaozhai, you provoked me first, and then you slandered my mother, your words were rude and full of venom! How can you say that I am making trouble out of nothing?"
The third young master of the Song family was so angry that he choked and his face turned red. He retorted, "You say we are provoking trouble? I say you are making things up and trying to smear the reputation of my Song family!"
