Wei Jiao had long since lost control; her tears flowed like a broken string of pearls, unstoppable.
Yu Ninglu was instantly furious. What kind of nonsense was this? When did she admit to that?
"Madam Jiang, can't you understand human language? That's not what I meant."
"That's not what you meant. What did you mean? If your cousin's clothes aren't as good as yours, and she's not as pretty as you, then how come she looks better dressed than you? She must have something that she does better than you, right? Does she mean that your cousin is inferior to you in every way? I really don't understand what you mean."
Xu Wanying's words sounded even more innocent, her tone filled with confusion.
The atmosphere immediately became tense, and even the girls who were close to Wei Jiao didn't dare to speak easily.
The system couldn't help but praise: "Host, you're truly amazing. With just a few words, you've shattered the alliance of these girls, causing them to fall apart and even become enemies."
Yu Ninglu's face darkened, and she simply remained silent, clearly intending to show her disdain.
Xu Wanying naturally wouldn't let her off the hook, and instead said to Wei Jiao, "Cousin, do you see she's tacitly agreeing?"
"I have nothing to say to you!" Yu Ninglu said irritably.
"Then you'd better not say anything, because everything you say is a lie anyway!" Xu Wanying sneered, putting on airs with her was useless.
“Madam Jiang, don’t go too far. Do you know what Ninglu’s title is?” A girl in yellow couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward to question her coldly.
It's obvious that the girl in yellow has a better relationship with Yu Ninglu than Wei Jiao.
"You're asking me about something like this? What title could there be that makes someone as beautiful as Wei Jiao no matter how well they dress?" Xu Wanying immediately came up with one.
Upon hearing this title, Wei Jiao couldn't help but smile and stopped crying.
To be honest, I both love and hate my third cousin's wife's mouth.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Ninglu and your Jiang family's eldest daughter, Jiang Jinyu, are known as the 'Twin Pure Ones of Wangjing,' both being aloof and noble." The woman in yellow stamped her foot angrily and hurriedly explained.
Xu Wanying was taken aback and immediately asked Li Chunlan beside her, "Is that so?"
"Yes." Li Chunlan nodded.
"Oh dear, my little sister never says that."
"Sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, what are you saying about me?"
Just then, Jiang Jinyu led her maid over.
"This young lady said that you and Miss Yu are the 'Double Pure Ones of Wangjing,' but I've never heard you mention that before. This is the first time I've heard of it," Xu Wanying asked.
Jiang Jinyu waved her hand: "It was just a joke, nothing to mention. There are people playing pitch-pot over there, would you two sisters-in-law like to join in?"
She clearly sensed that something was wrong and wanted to lead the two away from the encirclement.
However, someone wouldn't let her leave. Yu Ninglu took a step forward and said in a cold tone, "Miss Jiang, your two sisters-in-law are impetuous and often do offensive things. When you get back, you should ask the nanny to teach them a lesson so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Marquis of Zhongyi."
Jiang Jinyu frowned, clearly displeased. She wiped the smile off her face and glanced at Yu Ninglu.
“Miss Yu, what are you saying? You’re an outsider, what right do you have to criticize my sister-in-law?” She said this without any politeness.
“Exactly. Before teaching others the rules, let’s see how well we’ve learned them ourselves,” Li Chunlan said immediately.
Jiang Jinyu glared at her, and Li Chunlan immediately shut up.
Xu Wanying tugged at her sister-in-law's sleeve and said softly, "Sister-in-law, please stop talking. If Miss Yu turns around and says that the three of us ganged up on her, it will be hard to handle. This Miss Yu is not a kind-hearted person."
"You, you all, Jiang Jinyu, I'm doing this for the good of your Jiang family, to prevent these two sisters-in-law from tarnishing your reputation. Since you're so ungrateful, you'll regret it later!" Yu Ninglu said irritably.
Wei Jiao was already panicking. Yu Ninglu and Jiang Jinyu were known as the "Twin Beauties of Wangjing" because they were not only top-notch in appearance and demeanor, but also came from very powerful families, making them leaders among their peers.
When Yu Ninglu accepted her invitation to attend the banquet, she was overjoyed. Xiao Cen also told her to take good care of her. However, these two estranged people from Wangjing actually broke off their friendship and started arguing.
"Didn't I tell you to go and call for help? Why did you bring my cousin? Where's my mother?" Wei Jiao grabbed the maid beside her and asked.
The maid was sent out to fetch someone, but instead of seeing Madam Cen, she brought Jiang Jinyu with her.
“Miss, I couldn’t find Madam, but I happened to meet Miss Cousin. She asked me to lead the way.”
Wei Jiao stomped her foot and cursed, "I'll skin you alive when we get back!"

In the front courtyard of the Wei family, Jiang Chengyi was led directly to the study. Before she even entered, she heard a reprimand coming from inside.
"You worthless brat, is your brain made of a dog? How can you not even understand such a simple thing? You're completely clueless about writing policy essays. How can you be worthy of being my son? It's a disgrace!"
Jiang Chengyi waved his hand, and the wheelchair stopped. He immediately asked the servant beside him, "Besides my uncle, who else is in the study?"
The servants of the Wei family knew that this young master was the son-in-law in the master and mistress's hearts, so they did not hide it and immediately said, "In reply to the young master, it is our young master."
"Would you like to wait a bit before going in?" the servant kindly suggested.
After all, Wei Xian was in a rage, and going in at that moment would easily put him in the line of fire.
Jiang Chengyi smiled confidently and told someone to push her further inside: "No need, my uncle loves me the most, he would never bear to scold me."
He had just been carried inside when something was thrown at his face, heading straight for his face.
Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts since childhood. Although he was the worst in the family, he had developed his physical reflexes over the years and could dodge the attack without even thinking.
"Who's blind?!" Wei Xian was clearly furious and started cursing.
But when he recognized who had entered, he immediately changed his tune: "Which blind servant didn't come in to announce my arrival? He almost hit Young Master Yi! Are you alright?"
"It's alright, Uncle, this little inkstone won't hurt me," he asked in a low voice.
"It's good that you're alright. Next time, have a servant inform them so you don't get hurt by accident. Your mother will be worried." Wei Xian looked him over carefully, and was immediately startled when he saw his appearance.
"Why are you still in a wheelchair? Who dared to hurt you? Didn't the Marquis seek justice for you?" he asked with great concern.
"It's nothing, I just made a small mistake and really upset Father. What's wrong with you? You don't look well!" Jiang Chengyi immediately changed the subject, deliberately bringing up the very thing she didn't want to talk about.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Xian's expression became even more unpleasant.
