Unfortunately, Cen Jie's shouts came too late; Cen Ying had already led her people inside.
Jiang Chengyi was the first to react. He immediately grabbed the blanket to cover his lower body, and Wei Jiao, who was originally holding the blanket, was instantly exposed.
Granny Yan stepped forward, snatched Jiang Chengyi's blanket, and threw it onto Wei Jiao.
"Granny." Wei Jiao was completely stunned. She didn't know how things had developed to this point. She had clearly agreed to only bring her mother and aunt. Why did so many outsiders suddenly appear?
Those ladies, who usually talked about etiquette and manners, stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.
Even though they tried their best to maintain a calm expression, the excitement and disdain in their eyes couldn't help but spill out.
Wei Jiao felt as if she were being stared at by so many people, as if they were sharp swords about to pierce her, and she trembled all over.
"Get out, get out! All of you get out!" She hugged the quilt and covered her head.
In the rush, the blanket covered his head but exposed his neck, which had two red marks on it, clearly from being pinched by fingers.
Xu Wanying tried her best to push forward, but these noble ladies were as solid as a rock and could not be moved.
[Are you kidding me? What are you all doing blocking this way? Can't you have any manners? After you've seen it, move along so the people behind you can see!]
She was so angry that she complained to the system, but in the end, Cen Ying couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to pull her out of the crowd.
The unmarried girls could only stay outside. After all, they had just heard the man's voice, and no matter how much they wanted to watch the excitement, they couldn't go over there.
Jiang Chengyi froze on the bed, frantically searching for clothes to cover himself, but all the clothes were thrown on the floor. If he tried to grab some clothes, he would have to bend over, which was really unsightly.
He was so flustered that he could only turn back and fight with Wei Jiao for the blanket.
There was nothing we could do; this was the only blanket left on the bed, and the rest had been kicked to the floor because they were considered to be in the way.
"ah--"
Wei Jiao managed to cover her face with the quilt to avoid facing the room full of people. Although it was self-deception, at least she could still find a last bit of psychological comfort.
But now that even this fig leaf is being taken away, how can one not be shocked and angry, screaming repeatedly?
Granny Yan immediately pounced on Jiang Chengyi, slapping her directly in the face: "What are you doing? She's your own sister! You not only defiled her, but you even tried to steal her blanket! Are you even human?"
"What are you cursing about? We didn't do anything, we just hugged. And she's my cousin!" Jiang Chengyi was furious. He had only just taken off his clothes and hadn't even eaten anything yet, but so many people had come to watch, as if he had gotten a great deal.
Cen Jie finally managed to push through the obstacles and walk to the front of the crowd. Before she could even stand still, she heard Granny Yan's words, and her vision went black. She almost fainted.
She gritted her teeth, staggered forward, yanked Yan Mama aside, and slapped her across the face.
"You insolent servant, what nonsense are you spouting! Where did this 'sister' come from? Look closely, this isn't Wei Sheng, it's Yi-ge'er, they're cousins!"
Granny Yan was knocked to the ground, covered her face and looked at Cen Jie, opening her mouth as if to say something.
Before he could finish speaking, Cen Jie kicked him hard in the chest several times.
"You scoundrel, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll rip out your tongue sooner or later! Don't ruin my son's reputation."
Granny Yan was kicked so hard she couldn't speak, and she rolled on the ground clutching her chest.
"Isn't it this coward who ruined your son's reputation? The old lady was protecting your son."
A discordant voice emerged, crystal clear and filled with disdain.
"Who said that!" Cen Jie suddenly turned her head, her eyes instantly fixed on Xu Wanying, looking fierce as if she would devour someone.
Xu Wanying was slightly startled, realizing that she had blurted out her true feelings in her excitement, and immediately felt a little regretful.
"You're still his third sister-in-law? How dare you say that? I'll tear your mouth apart!" Cen Jie pointed her finger at Xu Wanying, almost poking her in the face.
Cen Ying slapped her hand away: "Just talk, why are you hitting me? Besides, what did my daughter-in-law say wrong?"
Cen Jie's breath caught in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
"Sister, the child is already in this state, let's not make things too ugly. Ladies, let me see you out. This is a family matter, we will handle it—"
"We've come this far, what's the point of all this? Hurry up with the engagement, and we need to invite all the ladies to the wedding banquet, otherwise, what if Jiaojiao gets pregnant—"
Before Cen Ying could finish speaking, Cen Jie screamed, "No! They can't!"
"What can't I do?" Cen Ying retorted coldly.
Cen Jie opened her mouth, but couldn't speak, as if someone was choking her.
After a moment, she seemed to regain her senses and said softly, "The Marquis of Zhongyi's family is of such high social standing, how could our Wei family be worthy of it? Yi-ge should find a girl of equal social standing."
"He's in this state, what girl of equal social standing would want to marry him? Little sister, you and your brother-in-law have been so good to Yi-ge'er, isn't it all because you want him to become the son-in-law of your Wei family? You even resorted to such means, how come now that you've gotten what you wanted, you're starting to refuse him? Are you playing hard to get?" Cen Ying didn't hold back and mocked her, completely unafraid of exposing her shameful secret.
Cen Jie also became agitated and demanded irritably, "What methods are you willing to use? Explain yourself! It's not like I told Jiao—"
She wanted to blame Wei Jiao. If it weren't for that stupid girl taking matters into her own hands and doing such a shameless thing, there wouldn't have been this embarrassing situation.
