Chapter 103 Tao Yiran was ridiculed
In the distance, someone coming down from the rockery walked towards Tao Yiran and said something. Then the girl who played the piano just now stood in her direction for a moment, and then walked towards her. After they said a few words, the girl in green came forward to speak. From a distance, it could be seen that the atmosphere was not very good. In the end, Tao Yiran walked towards the rockery and slowly walked up the stairs.
Xin An curled his lips and smiled, then turned his head and told Nan Feng, "Go see what's going on."
Nan Feng went there, and Yan Wenhui also saw Tao Yiran, "Is she going to play the piano?"
Want to steal this kind of limelight? Lin Yao said, "In terms of piano skills, she is indeed outstanding. She has played the piano at many banquets, but she probably won't play the piano in this occasion."
Tao Yiran is already married.
Unfortunately, as soon as she finished speaking, Tao Yiran had already walked up to the rockery and sat down in front of the piano, which meant she was going to play the piano. Even before the sound of the piano could be heard, it attracted a lot of attention.
Nanfeng also came back, "Replying to Madam, the one who played the piano just now was the second young lady from the Changning Marquis's Mansion. After the second young lady played the piano, everyone praised her. Miss Fang from the Minister of Revenue's Mansion asked the eldest young lady to comment on it. The eldest young lady said that the second young lady from the Marquis's Mansion played the piano with limited skills and was a little awkward. So the second young lady from the Marquis's Mansion asked the eldest young lady to play a piece of music as well to give her some advice."
Qiu Wenyuan looked disdainful, "She really went after hearing what people said?"
Nan Feng bowed to her, "The young ladies and girls behind the eldest young lady encouraged her for a while, and then the eldest young lady agreed."
Qiu Wenyuan snorted coldly, "Since you are married, you should be more content. It is beneath your status to compete with an unengaged girl. You are petty-minded."
Several people glanced at Xin An, and Xin An smiled and said, "Since my sister-in-law got married, she has rarely left the hospital. I think she is too depressed."
Qiu Wenyuan asked, "She likes playing the zither so much, doesn't she have any pastime at home?"
"There was one time, in the afternoon." Xin An praised Tao Yiran's piano skills. "It was hot in the afternoon, and the cicadas were chirping sharply. My sister-in-law's piano music could relieve my boredom and help me fall asleep."
"Unfortunately, it only happened once."
Qiu Wenyuan laughed, "Sure enough, you are just like me, you feel sleepy when you listen to the piano."
The sound of the piano rang out again. Even Xin An, who didn't know much about the piano, had to admit that it was much more pleasant to the ear than the second young lady from the Bo's Mansion just now. It attracted more people to enter Qianbi Garden one after another. Xin lowered his eyes and sipped his tea. With some people, you don't need to bother to plot against them. With a little guidance, they will die from loneliness on their own.
The second young lady of the Earl's Mansion played the piano to show her talent and prepare for a marriage. Tao Yiran jumped out to slap her piano skills in the face. From then on, she had offended the Changning Earl's Mansion. The Lady of Changning Earl was an extremely difficult person and was very protective of her own people. Now that her beloved daughter had embarrassed herself at the Shuihua Banquet, she would definitely not let it go.
The song was barely halfway through when many people came to Qianbi Garden. The pavilion where Xin An and the others were also becoming lively. Everyone who knew Tao Yiran came in to join in the fun. These ladies were good at talking, and each of them praised Tao Yiran's superb piano skills, saying that she had not neglected her piano skills just because she got married.
"She is the only one who is so good at playing the piano even after becoming a prostitute, right?"
"She is the only one who plays the piano in public after getting married. You guys should seize the opportunity. Who knows if there will be another one."
"It would be a shame if such a good piano skill could not be practiced for the next time. Even if everyone is willing, I think our wife would be reluctant to let her go."
Xin An smiled faintly and said nothing. There was no doubt that Tao Yiran's behavior was inappropriate, but it was rare to receive so many people's "praises", which showed that he often tried to show off.
A moment later, the Second Prince's wife also arrived. Those who were sitting stood up to greet her. As the pavilion with the best location in Qianbi Garden, Xin An and others all stood up and took the initiative to make room for the Second Prince's wife. Tao Yiran, who was enjoying the glory, raised her eyes and saw the movement here. Her heart tightened and the sound of the piano went wrong. As a result, there were continuous mistakes afterwards. The Second Prince's wife looked unhappy, "Does the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan have any opinions about this prince's wife?"
"You were playing well, why did I make a mistake the first time I came here?"
Many people in the pavilion began to add insult to injury, and seeing that the Second Prince's wife's expression relaxed and the corners of her lips curled slightly, she spoke more vigorously, and even implicated Tang Rong, saying that although he was a gentleman with both civil and military skills, he could not escape the soft jade and warm fragrance. Tao Yiran had seen big scenes before, and after the panic, he slowly adjusted himself, and played to the end but his mood was gone, and the sound of the piano was not as amazing as at the beginning. It seemed that he could only "survive the technique".
At this moment, Tao Yiran closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling somewhat regretful. Although she knew it was inappropriate to play the piano in such an occasion after getting married, she could not stand the provocation from others, and it was useless to regret under the impulse.
She stood up and walked down the rockery slowly. As expected, she was met with a wave of ridicule. The second young lady of the Bo's Mansion, who was embarrassed by her, sneered and said, "Madam Tang, please don't be angry. It's not uncommon for a horse to make mistakes. After all, you have to think about how to catch your husband every day. It's normal for you to neglect your piano skills."
Several girls on the side laughed. Miss Fang from the residence of the Minister of Revenue said with a smile, "Sister Ning, please stop teasing Madam Tang. Everyone knows that the prince of Weiyuan Marquis's residence is in love with the girl from the Xin family. It's like pie in the sky that he got such a proud husband. Don't you have to keep a close eye on him?"
This made the girl next to him laugh again. Tao Yiran's ears were red and her eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to get angry but couldn't. Who wouldn't say that she was pitiful? Unfortunately, all the people present were women, and none of them were kind enough to show mercy to women.
Seeing her being ridiculed, Xin An pretended to defend her. The Second Prince tilted his head and asked, "Is the Second Young Master's wife going to help her out?"
Xin An was a little embarrassed and said, "After all, she is my sister-in-law now. I feel sorry for her when I see her like this."

"Pitiful?"
The Second Prince's wife curled her lips and sneered, "If you dare to do something, you must be prepared for people to talk about it. You know you are a fart."
She wanted to say something dirty, but the words came out of her mouth instead, "You are easy to be criticized, but you come out to show off, and you don't even consider the occasion. Why do you need my pity for such behavior?"
"Don't worry, there are many people who pity her."
Weirdly, Xin An understood the meaning of her last sentence. Li Yuyan also advised, "Just sit there and talk and enjoy the scenery. It's okay if they say a few words. If you go forward, this matter will be dragged on and it may even escalate. Why bother?"
The Second Prince's wife glanced at Li Yuyan and didn't say anything else.
So Xin An sat down with peace of mind. The sun was high in the sky and the weather was hot. Everyone was too lazy to move and just sat in the pavilion and talked. Someone from the Duke's Mansion brought a triangular ice basin and placed it beside the pavilion, which brought a cool breeze and made the atmosphere more comfortable.
After a while, Lin Yao pulled Xin An's sleeve and motioned her to look towards the garden gate. "The person you're waiting for is here."
