Chapter 109 I Can't Stand It

Wei Jialian also treated Mrs. Wei with respect, but also with a bit of exploitation.

After all, compared with the Duke's Mansion, the Grand Marshal's Mansion is still a little inferior.

Therefore, the purpose of her trip was not necessarily so simple.

As she was about to come of age, she also hoped to use the Duke's Mansion as a connection to choose a better and more noble husband to ensure her future status and topic of conversation.

So, he deliberately said to Mrs. Wei with a smile.

"Aunt, you said last time that you would give me a special coming-of-age gift. What is it? I can't wait to find out."

"You are just not stable in your mind. It's still four months before your coming of age. What are you afraid of? You will know when the time comes."

Wei Jialian said this simply to convey one thing in front of everyone, that is, she is the most favored person in the world.

When the ladies and young ladies around saw this scene, they were secretly calculating the consequences in their hearts.

What kind of gift should I send at that time so as not to lose face and satisfy Miss Wei?

Just as she was thinking about it, Wei Jialian looked around and saw Xue Niang, which reminded her of many things.

The two of them are of similar age, and their coming of age is only one month apart.

In terms of childhood pomp, she was naturally not as good as Xue Niang.

But now, the situation has changed, Xue Niang has become the one that no one cares about, while she is enjoying the attention of everyone.

A feeling of pride arose spontaneously, and she couldn't help but want to show off a little, so she said something to Mrs. Wei and her mother.

"Aunt, mother, I'm going to take a walk outside. I haven't taken a closer look at the beautiful decorations in the mansion."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

It was Mrs. Wei who spoke. She did not notice Wei Jialian's look and thought that she left because she was not interested in the topic of women.

Therefore, after he finished speaking, he asked the maid beside him to lead the way.

Several young ladies who were on good terms with Wei Jialian also followed him out.

A few people were chatting and laughing, and it didn't seem like they were targeting Xue Niang.

Originally, they did not interfere with each other, and Xue Niang did not notice that Wei Jialian and others came out.

But Wei Jialian was a person who had always wanted something since she was a child. Naturally, she turned left and right and ended up where Du Jingyi and the others were.

He even pretended to be in an "accidental encounter" expression, which made Xue Niang feel annoyed.

Xue Niang did not have a good expression to greet Wei Jialian, and she was lucky enough to be able to hold back from getting angry.

Mrs. Xing had her back to Wei Jialian, so she naturally didn't see the person coming.

But he saw Xue Niang's angry expression, so he asked curiously.

"What happened to Hachi?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Wei Jialian speak behind him.

"Of course you feel uncomfortable when you see me."

Mrs. Xing turned her head and saw that it turned out to be the young lady. No wonder Xueniang's face suddenly turned from happy to cold.

"Miss Wei, the weather isn't that hot, why are you speaking so harshly?"

Mrs. Xing will not indulge the Wei family.

After all, she was from the Gu family. Besides, she was not one of those people who depended on her husband and dared not offend the Wei family.

Both her natal family and her husband's family gave her enough confidence, so even in terms of status, she was able to teach Wei Jialian a lesson.

Wei Jialian felt a little afraid when facing Mrs. Xing.

After all, everyone knows that Madam Xing is not only famous in both her natal and her husband's families, but she is also a close friend of the current Queen Guo.

She didn't know whether she went north from Jinling City to Sui'an City because of the Queen's summons, so she didn't dare to say anything.

So he bowed respectfully and called out to her.

"Jia Lian has met Madam Xing."

The young ladies who came with her did the same, greeting Mrs. Xing respectfully and politely.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Xing's anger subsided a little, but her expression still did not show much welcome.

Wei Jialian was not stupid. She could see the rejection on Mrs. Xing's face. But at this moment, she didn't care about anything else. She just felt good about stepping on Xue Niang.

Besides, today's banquet is held at the Duke's Mansion. Even if Mrs. Xing wants to get angry, she has to consider the place.

So she said something to Mrs. Xing in a somewhat reckless manner.

"It's not hot today, but the Wei Mansion is very hot, so I am a little bit affected by it. If my words are a little loud, please forgive me, Madam Xing."

Hearing this, the faces of both sister-in-law Liu and Xue Niang darkened.

Didn't the Wei family climb up to the top by stepping on the Gu family? If Madam Gu was still alive, the Wei family might not be able to enter the mansion to celebrate in this capacity.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Zuo is just a relative of a concubine, yet he dares to show off here.

But she was telling the truth, so the two of them couldn't do anything about it.

Xueniang didn't want to cause trouble, so she pulled Mrs. Xing's sleeve and said.

"Aunt, let's go look somewhere else."

It is better to have less trouble than more, and she does not want to have a conflict with Wei Jialian today.

But it was obvious that Mrs. Xing was not the type to suffer humiliation. She turned around and looked at Xue Niang with a look of comfort.

But when he turned around and looked at Wei Jialian, there was a hint of contempt in his expression.

"You know that your words can easily make people angry, so just talk less and watch more, or you will be laughed at. The rules of the Wei family are not decent, but it seems that the Wei family doesn't have any rules. It seems that it is not entirely your fault. Forget it, this lady will not bother with you, a junior."

Wei Jialian was just admired by everyone, but now she is devalued by Mrs. Xing.

Naturally I am angry.

"Madam Xing, I respect you as an elder, but it's inappropriate for you to say that about my Wei family, right? After all, my grandfather was also the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty, my father was the deputy commander of the Military Command, and my brother..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted unhappily by Mrs. Xing.

Said with some sarcasm.

"Okay, if everyone has to read out their family names like you do when they meet, then when I meet your father, mother, and grandfather in the future, should I also talk about the centuries-old glory of the Xing and Gu families?"

The Gu family and the Xing family are both prestigious clans in Jinling City.

Their family has been established for hundreds of years, and they are not a small family like the Wei family that has only been rich for a few decades.

Therefore, if I really were to mention all the people in the clan who have made contributions, I'm afraid the day would be over by then.

Hearing this, Wei Jialian was so angry that she didn't know how to respond.

Du Jingyi also held back her smile. A little sparrow was going to provoke a Saker Falcon. Isn't this courting death? In an instant, her favorable impression of Mrs. Xing doubled.

Xue Niang's face was also full of joy. She felt happy when she saw Wei Jialian being humiliated.

Today is a really good day.

First, the sixth sister-in-law humiliated the fourth sister-in-law, and now the aunt is angrily criticizing Wei Jialian.

She had never been so happy since she could remember.

If it wasn't the wrong occasion, she would really want to laugh out loud three times to vent her anger.

Wei Jialian was no match for Madam Xing, so she stopped targeting Xue Niang and turned her attention to Du Jingyi.
