"What Madam? How can this nameless and unnamed wild woman living in the General's Mansion be compared with me? Madam Magistrate is really confused!"

The voice was soft but it was full of killing power. Not only did it hurt Hongling badly, but the wife of the prefect also felt uncomfortable after hearing it. Ye Xinxin wanted to add the word "old" in front of Hutu, but when she thought about it, this was not Chang'an. Although the prefect was not a very important official, he was a local tyrant in Yiyang Prefecture, so she held back.

Hong Ling was so angry at Ye Xinxin's words. Although she knew that her identity was not presentable, she had the cover of General An. There were no women around General An, and outsiders did not know her situation in the general's mansion. Therefore, even with her identity, people were polite to her. Now that someone said it so clearly, it was really embarrassing.

"Don't go too far!" Hongling's face was distorted with anger, but at least she was still a little smart. She knew she couldn't argue with Ye Xinxin, so she turned to look at the prefect's wife with a threatening tone.

"Madam Zhizhou, I came to the banquet for your sake, but I was insulted by others. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never give up. The general will not watch me being bullied like this. No matter who I am, I am here today to represent the general's mansion. Are you trying to slap the general's mansion in the face?"

Hongling already had experience in bullying others by taking advantage of her power, and what she said really made the wife of the prefect feel uneasy. Although she was also angry that a wild woman who was not even a concubine dared to threaten her like this, she had to accept Hongling's threat. Hongling was right in one thing, since she came here today, she represented the general's mansion, and General An was not someone she could afford to offend.

"Letting a wild woman who came out of nowhere represent the General's Mansion is already a disgrace, what face do you need? Moreover, as far as I know, General An is now sending people to look for his wife and children, who are the real mistresses of the General's Mansion. How can you, a wild woman, be so shameless as to say that you represent the General's Mansion? When I see General An one day, I will ask him what he meant by sending a restless and tactless wild woman to make trouble at the banquet of the wife of the prefect!"

The prefect's wife tried to speak several times but couldn't say anything. She couldn't afford to offend either of them and felt a little impatient.

Pei was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's business, but since she came to attend the banquet hosted by the wife of the prefect, she probably came to support her niece. Pei was aware of the grudges between her niece and the wife of the Tongpan. The most advantageous thing was to make friends with the wife of the prefect, so when she saw that the wife of the prefect could no longer control the situation, she spoke up.

"Alright, this is a banquet. Why are you making so much noise? Where are the rules and manners? Those who want to stay should speak nicely, otherwise you can't blame me for asking you to leave!" Pei scolded coldly, the majesty of the marquis' wife was fully displayed.

Seeing that Pei had spoken, Ye Xinxin didn't say anything and continued to attack her food. Anyway, she had beaten that wild woman, and she felt relieved after venting her anger. She felt in a good mood while eating.

As for Hongling, even though she was very dissatisfied in her heart, she did not dare to say anything more. She was now showing off her power outside by relying on the general's reputation, but it was only because the general was too lazy to care about her. If the marquis's wife really sent someone to tell the general, she would definitely be in trouble.

When the prefect's wife saw that the marquis' wife had calmed the situation down, she felt relieved. If the situation continued, she didn't know what would happen and her dignity and face as the prefect's wife would be lost. She was very grateful to Pei and knew why Pei helped her. She thought to herself that she would take better care of Su Wenyue in the future. As for Pei Yuhan, the prefect's wife chose to ignore her, not only because Pei Yuhan's behavior did not seem like that of a smart person, but also because judging from Pei's attitude, it did not seem like she liked her niece very much.

Han Yu's situation was not as good as Su Wenyue's. There was no one like the Marquis's wife to support Han Yu, but fortunately the prefect was still kind to him because of the Marquis's wife, and Deng Chen was there to help with introductions. Many people were willing to give Han Yu some face for the sake of the prefect and Deng Chen, but that was all. At most, they would not make things difficult for him, and they could not be as nice as they wanted.

As for the people on the other side, they were not so easy to deal with. They were bound to look down on and embarrass such a young boy who had risen to the top out of nowhere, but Han Yu dealt with them appropriately one by one. Everyone then realized that although Han Yu looked young, he was a tough guy who was not to be trifled with. And with the prefect present, they had to suppress their thoughts and wait for the opportunity to teach this frivolous boy a lesson in the future.

"Xiuqi, don't take these people's actions to heart. After all, you are so young and have done such things. They will feel uncomfortable and some actions are inevitable." Deng Chen patted Han Yu's shoulder to comfort him. Although he knew that Han Yu's character could resist, he still advised him a few words. After all, Han Yu was still young and didn't grow up in this circle like him, so it was inevitable that he would feel a little unfair.

Han Yu nodded, understanding what Deng Chen meant. He was afraid that it was not only because he was promoted too quickly and was too lucky, but also because he did not have any powerful background. This made people even more indignant. This was the mentality that ordinary people would have.

Deng Chen saw that Han Yu really didn't care at all, and he admired him a little: "Come on, I'll introduce someone to you."

Han Yu looked at Deng Chen, not knowing who Deng Chen was going to introduce to him. However, given Deng Chen's character, the people he could introduce to him were all of good character.

Deng Chen seemed to see what Han Yu was thinking. His eyes drifted to a seat near the front, where a handsome young man was sitting, drinking alone. His attire, movements and demeanor all showed that he was noble and elegant, and he looked aloof from the world. However, this also made him feel a little distant from everyone else.

It was impossible for Han Yu not to notice such an outstanding person. He had noticed him since the first moment he came in. For such a long time, except for the time when the prefect came over and the young man said a few words, he ignored other people even if they approached him. His attitude could really be described as arrogant. However, when those people saw that the young man ignored them, they just showed embarrassed expressions without any resentment or dissatisfaction, which showed that the young man's identity was enough to prevent these people from having such thoughts.

"The waters in Yiyang Prefecture are muddy enough. I know what you are thinking. You don't want to join either of the two factions, but this will only make your situation more dangerous. It will only be good for you to get to know this person, but he has a bit of a rebellious and eccentric personality and is not easy to get along with."
