Chapter 99 Zhao Yue
She originally wanted Ji Jinglan to shut up and stop talking, but once she opened her mouth, the sarcastic words couldn't stop coming out. After she finished speaking, she saw Ji Jinglan staring at her with resentment and began to regret it.
Chu Furong opened her mouth and was about to explain when Ji Jinglan suddenly pushed her hard.
In front of Chu Furong was a banquet filled with cakes and wine. When Ji Jinglan pushed her unexpectedly, she staggered and her arm overturned the cups and dishes on the table. Her sleeves were soaked by the wine and soup, and stuck to her arms wetly and stickyly.
"You guys in the Jingning Marquis' Mansion are just looking to use me up. My son Yunlan has injured his leg and is useless! You're just waiting to make Liu Rushuang, the lowly concubine, and the child in her belly your legal wife!" Ji Jinglan stared at Chu Furong fiercely and said, "I'm telling you, as long as I, Ji Jinglan, am still in this mansion, you can forget about making that bitch your legal wife!"
Chu Yunlan was injured these days, and everyone in the mansion could step on her head. Ji Jinglan had been holding back her anger for a long time, and being provoked by Chu Furong was like lighting the fuse of the explosives, which ignited all her dissatisfaction, anger and resentment.
Chu Furong had been a tyrant at home, always bullying her sister-in-law Ji Jinglan. Suddenly, she was pushed down by Ji Jinglan, who pointed at her nose and cursed her. Her remaining rationality was burned out, and she stood up with a ferocious look on her face, grabbing Ji Jinglan's hair.
"How dare you, a slut, lay hands on me! I'll go back and ask my mother to divorce you and marry my eldest brother off to a gentle and virtuous woman!"
"Ah! Let go!" Ji Jinglan was timid by nature. When she suddenly saw Chu Furong being so fierce, she began to back off.
But Chu Furong was ruthless. She pulled out several clumps of her hair and scratched her face with her sharp nails. Ji Jinglan became angry after being hit several times and fought back while shouting and cursing.
"You said I was supporting my parents, but you, a daughter who married out, are shameless enough to run back to my parents' house every now and then, and you still don't ask for enough!"
This stunned the crowd of people watching the excitement. It was not uncommon for noble ladies to quarrel and say sarcastic words to each other, but it was really rare to see them fighting in public. It was the first time they had seen it in their lives.
The daughter of Chu Furong's in-laws at the banquet was so angry that she stamped her feet. What kind of wife did her mother marry for her brother? It was so embarrassing!
Liu Qiuyue stood in the corner, tiptoeing in, muttering, "They say Luojing women are the best at putting on airs, but I think this is no different from the bickering between wives and mothers-in-law in the village."
"My son can't marry a hag like this."
Considering that Master Yue and the others would be arriving soon, they wanted to avoid making a big fuss. Some people stepped forward to try to stop the fight, but without exception, they were all scratched by the two men who were so angry that they had red eyes.
Wang Peilan stepped forward, twisting her waist and holding a handkerchief. Standing at a distance, she gloated and advised, "Hey, we're all family. If you have anything to say, can't you just sit down and talk it out? There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between a sister-in-law and a sister-in-law."
She was returning what Ji Jinglan had said.
"You've caused such a scene, how can the Jingning Marquisate save face?" Wang Peilan feigned indignation, turned around and began to call out to everyone, "Everyone, please get out of here and move everyone away. How are we going to explain to the Crown Prince and Young Master Yue when they arrive? They've ruined our welcome banquet."
The women who had just been hit stepped back, covering their faces and not daring to move forward.
The maids were afraid of offending the noble, so they didn't dare to pull hard, and they would be beaten if they tried.
Wang Peilan's gaze fell dimly on Chu Xinrou, who was huddled in the corner, and she chuckled with an ambiguous tone, "Miss Chu, your mother and your aunt are fighting, and you, as a child, are just standing there watching, not even trying to intervene?"
Chu Xinrou was already cursing the two people fighting in her heart, thinking they were rude and unpresentable. When Wang Peilan called her name, those people's eyes turned to her.
Chu Xinrou's face suddenly turned pale, and she wished she could crawl into the ground.
It’s all Ji Jinglan and Chu Furong’s fault. Not only are they brainless, but they even started fighting in front of so many people. They even made her lose face!
Of course Chu Xinrou couldn't step forward to intervene. She covered her chest and looked at Wang Peilan delicately, tears flashing in her eyes, "I've always had poor health, I'm afraid-"
Wang Peilan rolled her eyes without any concealment. She is really good at pretending.
She had made a mistake at first and wanted to marry Qi'er to her.
There was a huge commotion over there. Shen Shuwei just glanced at it and then looked away, standing up to get some fresh air.
Unexpectedly, just as he walked around the lush and blooming hydrangeas, Chen Shuwei almost bumped into someone head-on.
The man was wearing a brocade robe and stood under the wooden hydrangea, watching the fight between Ji Jinglan and Chu Furong with great interest.
Zhao Yue turned his head away, his eyes fell on Shen Shuwei's face, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his voice was playful: "Miss Shen."
Shen Shuwei believed that he had never seen him before, but he was staring at him with an evil smile.
Chen Shu frowned slightly and bowed, "May I ask who you are, sir?"
Zhao Yue's gaze lingered on her face wantonly. This was the woman that Xiao Chengming had said his good brother looked at with special regard. She was indeed somewhat different from the others.
At this moment, several subordinates in charge of the banquet hurried over, wiped the sweat from their foreheads and bowed. "Please forgive me, Master Yue. The Crown Prince and the Second Prince just arrived. We went to greet them and forgot what was going on at the banquet."
Zhao Yue plucked a branch of hydrangea with two fingers and casually threw the flower at one of them, saying in a casual tone, "It's okay, the young master enjoyed watching this play very much."
The subordinates lowered their heads quickly and called a few palace servants to come forward to separate Ji Jinglan and Chu Furong.
Zhao Yue's lips curled up slightly as he leaned casually against the tree trunk, fiddling with the hydrangeas with his fingertips. The white petals fell like snowflakes all over him. He chuckled softly, his words carrying an unexplained chill. "But you dared to act like this at my welcome party? It seems you're deliberately trying to ruin my place."
The subordinate trembled and said he dared not, but he had made up his mind not to send invitations to the people from Jingning Marquis' Mansion when there was a banquet for Zhao Yue in the future.
Not only is it embarrassing, but it also drags them down.
Ji Jinglan and Chu Furong were both so engrossed in the fight that they completely forgot what was happening. It was not until they were forcibly dragged away by several eunuchs that they realized what they had just done.
The two of them had disheveled hair, and the hairpins on their buns were half hanging on their hair. Chu Furong's white jade hairpin had fallen to the ground during the fight and broken into three pieces.
Both of them had red marks of varying lengths on their faces from being scratched by each other's nails.
Ji Jinglan's face flushed red, not knowing whether it was out of anger or shame. She quickly raised her sleeves to cover her face, avoiding the curious gazes of the people around her, and begged in a low voice, "Father-in-law, can you find me a place to change clothes?"
How can she face people in this state?
Chu Furong, who was standing next to him, also shouted, "Yes, find me another maid. My hair—"
The leading eunuch looked at the two with a cold face and said in a shrill voice, "You still want to change clothes and fix your hair? Come on! Get these two shrews out who ruined Master Yue's feast!"
