Chapter 179 Collateral Damage



Autumn is wonderful.

The Jing family's residence was always bustling with visitors.

The mistress of the Jing family has been brought into the courtyard and is almost drowned out by the bustling city!

The alley was so crowded that there wasn't enough room for cars and people to stop.

The neighbors had many complaints, but since they were all from Sheng'an, the common people dared not speak out against the high rank and prominent position.

The Jing family is considered to be a fifth-rank official, which is about the same as a petty official in Sheng'an. Look at how these county princesses and noble ladies have stormed in.

Jing Wei's small courtyard was also crowded.

People were inviting her mother for tea, others inviting her to admire the flowers; the commotion was almost like a flower-grabbing frenzy.

Most teenage young ladies and maids, even if their clothes were wrinkled (trying not to say the word "wrinkled"), or their hair was messed up, still looked very beautiful.

In Jing Wei's small room, there were only a few chairs and stools, which were clearly not enough to seat everyone.

When people come, they are not invited to sit down, nor is tea served by the Jing family.

Princess Deping then asked, "When will the invitation from Qing'e Palace be sent out?"

Jing Wei asked, "What post?"

The county magistrate of Deping was furious: "Don't think you can get away with this by giving me face! Don't you know what kind of wretched place this is!"

Jing Wei wanted to say, "You've come? Didn't you all break in on your own?"

Jing Wei is someone you can't afford to offend. If you dare to provoke her, a real fight might break out.

Amidst the commotion, someone remarked, "The Pei family is all ready."

Some people shouted, "Are you planning to rob us again?"

A girl chimed in, "Doesn't everyone know who gave birth to Qing'e Palace? I heard she was born on Zichan Mountain."

Doesn't everyone know what the Pei family is up to? It's just that some people are going to cause trouble at the Jing family's place.

Not everyone is afraid of the County Princess of Deping; anyway, there are many people and it's all very chaotic.

A young lady exclaimed, "I've known Qing'e Palace for six or seven years, and I've never seen her celebrate her birthday. But last year, I heard she knelt for a whole day."

Some people spoke up in protest: "The Pei family snatched her away, and now they're making her kneel on her birthday! Why don't the Pei family members kneel themselves?"

"In order to snatch her away, they killed Aunt He!"

Someone whispered, "Madam Qian never liked Qing'e Palace and never celebrated her birthday."

So, how did it suddenly become popular this year?

"Could it be for Chang Chenghui? Is Madam Qian using the name of Qing'e Palace to celebrate Chang Chenghui's birthday?"

Jing Wei squeezed to one side, watching everyone gather around her and making a scene. Maybe she guessed right.

The girls were having a lot of fun: "I heard there are birthday gifts and promotions. The Pei family is really doing this for Chang Chenghui."

"Are you all here to help Chang Chenghui?"

One of the young ladies smiled particularly sarcastically: "The Pei family has several other young ladies, you know. Be careful which one you take a fancy to."

Whose husband will she sleep with in the future? The most likely candidate is someone like a county princess.

Princess Deping said, "Doesn't Chang Chenghui need to celebrate his birthday?"

Jing Wei said, "You'll have to ask Qing'e Palace about this. I've heard that Luo Chenghui is going to be a slave to Consort Huan."

A wave of astonishment swept through the crowd!

Jing Wei boldly said, "After all, Chen Fengyi voluntarily became Chang Chenghui's slave, and Luo Chenghui was a step too late to learn from her and serve Chang Chenghui."

One of the ladies laughed, it was hilarious!

Everyone has heard about Chen Zhi's affair. If you don't know, find out for yourself.

Luo Yaohui's desire to learn from Chen Zhixue and fawn over Chang Chenghui is truly beyond words.

In this comparison, it's not surprising that they would support the Crown Princess, who is now in a stable position and has a true destiny.

However, on its own merits, it's quite shameless.

The girls are rather naive, or perhaps they don't want to go to the Eastern Palace for such a complicated life.

The county magistrate of Deping shouted angrily, "Qing'e Palace!"

Someone shouted, "Watch your words!"

Gossip spread: "I heard Pei Jinnu fainted and was locked up. She hasn't had any food or water, I don't know how long she can last."

Many people scoffed: "None of the Pei family's daughters are good!"

"Where is the Crown Prince?"

"I heard that Chen Fengyi calls Chang Chenghui 'Your Majesty.' Does she really think she's an empress? Isn't that crazy?"

The county magistrate of Deping cried out, "If we hadn't changed it back then!"

One of the young ladies retorted excitedly, "Do you think a saint would just grant a marriage? Do you really think Qing'e Palace is benefiting from the Pei family's influence? What is there for the Pei family to benefit from? They're not even as good as an honest family in the countryside!"

Jing Wei continued: "Wealth and honor can be bestowed upon whomever the sage wishes, depending on whether they possess virtue and are worthy of it!"

The county magistrate of Deping was so angry he wanted to hit someone!

Just thinking about it, if she dares to take action now, her position as county magistrate will probably be over.

Many young ladies came to ask Jing Wei, "What are Qing'e Palace's plans?"

Jing Wei said, "I don't know. I can't just close the door and cry in secret, can I?"

Some people objected: "The Pei family is shameless and going too far!"

"So what if you raised her for sixteen years? Wasn't the whole point of taking her away to save her life?"

"It's one thing to snatch her, but to kill her aunt, kill her grandmother, and almost kill her whole family—this is an irreconcilable feud!"

The young woman was filled with righteous indignation: "Qing'e Palace doesn't want to settle this score, but the Pei family still doesn't know when to stop!"

The county magistrate of Deping shouted, "Do you have any evidence?"

Jing Wei asked, "Do you want Judge Bao of the Ministry of Justice to investigate?"

The county magistrate of Deping was frightened.

That damned Judge Bao, who knows what he's found out yet.

Another piece of gossip came in: "The Prince of Qi's mansion won't give Miss Xin a single concubine, and she's gotten into a fight with two Madam Peis."

A young lady smiled and said, "Aren't these sisters-in-law?"

Haha: "Pei Huanfeng's own brother! Poor Pei Huanfeng."

He scoffed, "What's so miserable about her? Doesn't she think she's destined for greatness? Pei Huanying wants that too."

If she hadn't been thinking about it, Pei Huanying wouldn't have been jealous. If she hadn't been jealous, she wouldn't have pushed Qing'e Palace.

Now, Sheng An is even a little afraid to hear Qing'e Palace say that she bumped her head.

The seventh prince became Xie Geng.

Princess Pingyang became He Qiao.
