Chapter 107 Stupid and Bad
Chen Ning patted Qiyue: "Children should not learn dirty words from such people."
July responded immediately.
Xu Ying was furious and wanted to explode, but she saw Mrs. Lu walking towards them from a distance.
In an instant, she suppressed all her anger.
The marriage with the Lu family is important…this bitch has plenty of opportunities to clean up.
Isn't it because he has the support of Mr. Xu San? But Mr. Xu San can't stay in Pingning for long, and he can't bring such a lowly widow back to Beijing.
When Mr. Xu San leaves, she will make this bitch suffer a fate worse than death!
Shen Ning also saw Madam Lu. She stood up and walked over there with Qiyue. Madam Lu smiled and greeted, "My dear, please come to the table. Everything has been arranged."
Shen Ning responded politely: “There are guests over there, Madam, don’t pay attention to me, go and entertain the guests.”
Seeing that Shen Ning was not a person who was falsely polite, Madam Lu did not bother to be polite with her. She responded with a smile and then went forward to greet the people from the Xu family.
At this time, Xu Ying had barely suppressed the resentment and anger in her heart, and tried to force a smile and saluted Madam Lu: "Madam Lu."
"Stop being so polite and go inside. Why can't I see the Second Madam?"
"My aunt just dropped her earring and was looking for it in the carriage. She was a few steps late, so she sent us sisters in to apologize to the lady..."
Xu Ying walked inside affectionately holding Mrs. Lu's arm, flattering her sweetly while quickly thinking about how to vent her anger.
Originally, Xu Ying planned to settle the score after Xu Zhiyi left after a while. By then, she would have been engaged to the Lu family, and both the Xu and Lu families would be here. If she wanted to deal with a widow who was doing business, she would have hundreds of ways to do it.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the hall, she saw the lowly widow Shen Ning looking at the table, then walked forward on her own and sat directly to the left of Mrs. Lu's seat at the top.
Seeing this, the ladies and rich girls next to them were a little surprised. Some were whispering to each other, and some were laughing secretly. In an instant, Xu Ying's heart was suddenly filled with extreme surprise and excitement.
Just when I was thinking of teaching this bitch a lesson, I didn't expect her to bump into me.
As expected, she was a lowly creature from the countryside. No matter how well she dressed or how glamorously she looked, it could not conceal the fact that she was not presentable. Yet, she had managed to sit in a high position on her own.
Xu Ying immediately scolded him: "How dare you!"
At this moment, she finally had the posture of a rich daughter, and stretched out her hand to Chen Ning: "You who don't know the rules, is that the seat you sit in?"
Because it was so sudden, Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment.
She knew that Shen Ning often went in and out of the Xu family, and thought that the Xu family must have known her current identity a long time ago, but she never expected that Xu Ying would start scolding her unexpectedly.
Shen Ning looked around and smiled: "Even if I sat in the wrong seat, Miss Xu could have reminded me. Why bother with such harsh words? I've been to the Xu family before, and I thought we were at least friends."
Xu Ying laughed in anger: "You poor fellow are really not worthy of being on the stage. Don't you even consider your own status? I know your origins very well. Who do you want to be friends with? Don't you even consider whether you are worthy of them?"
After yelling and cursing, Xu Ying felt refreshed, and all the bad anger in her heart was swept away.
There's nothing we can do. This bitch didn't know the rules and gave her a handle to scold. She had her reasons, and no one can say she was wrong to scold.
"Xu...you are so outrageous!"
Mrs. Lu came to her senses with a pale expression. She shook off Xu Ying's hand and growled, "Who taught you to be rude to the county lord?"
Shen Ning sighed and stood up: "Shen's family is indeed of humble origin. I'm afraid they can't afford to be treated like this by Madam Lu. I won't stay here and get in the way."
After she finished speaking, she made a gesture to leave. Madam Lu immediately became anxious and said, "My dear, please stay."
It was at this time that Xu Ying and the women around her realized what Mrs. Lu was saying.
"Xiangjun? She is Xiangjun?"
Xu Ying couldn't help laughing: "Mrs. Lu, you are new here, I'm afraid you must have made a mistake, this woman is..."
"Shut up!"
Seeing that Shen Ning was about to leave without saying a word, Madam Lu immediately turned cold and angrily scolded Xu Ying: "I originally thought that the Xu family must be well-educated, but I never thought that Miss Xu would be so rude and scold other distinguished guests in other people's houses."
At this time, the second wife who found the earrings hurried over. She was about to apologize with a smile and say a few polite words, but she suddenly heard Mrs. Lu's voice angrily scolding the Xu family's tutor.
"It's truly uncultured for an unmarried young lady to behave like this. You're disrupting the banquet by taking over the main event. Miss Xu, I will not be keeping you for dinner today."
Madam Xu was completely shocked: "Madam Lu, what happened? Yingying is young, if I was rude, please forgive me..."
If Xu Ying was kicked out of the banquet hall like this, she would be laughed at.
No matter how she tried to make amends later, being kicked out of the banquet by the host would be a fatal blow to the reputation of an unmarried young lady.
When Mrs. Xu came forward, Mrs. Lu suddenly hesitated.
Chen Ning smiled and said, "The purpose of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is to reunite and be happy. Madam Lu doesn't need to make a big fuss because of the Shen family. Since Miss Xu doesn't like me, I will leave first..."
"Please stay, my lord."
Mrs. Lu came from a prominent family in the capital, so at this point, she could clearly see that there must be some old grudge between Chen Ning and Xu Ying.
She could naturally see that Shen Ning was asking her to choose one of the two.
The reason why Chen Ning was given the title of Country Lady was quite mysterious. Madam Lu still didn't know how this young widow from the countryside was given the title of Country Lady. She didn't want to offend such a person whose background and depth she didn't know.
But the Xu family has Lord Xu behind them, so if possible, she would like to leave some wiggle room...even though the Pingning Xu family itself may not be able to get close to Lord Xu.
Mrs. Lu was originally in a dilemma, but then she thought about it and realized that the wealthy families in Pingning had already known, either openly or secretly, that the Lu family was interested in marrying into the Xu family.
But at this moment, looking at Xu Ying's appearance, Mrs. Lu regretted it.
She is either bad, stupid, or both bad and stupid. Such a woman is not worthy of her son.
She was thinking about the fact that the Xu family and Lord Xu were close neighbors, and she had heard about Xu Yingsheng's beauty, so she thought this was a good choice. However, she didn't expect that meeting her in person was not as good as hearing about her.
It would be better to take this opportunity to call off this marriage!
When she thought of this, Mrs. Lu made a decision immediately and apologized to Mrs. Xu.
"Please forgive me, Madam. However, Lord Shen is a distinguished guest of our Lu family, but Miss Xu has offended him with vulgar words in public without any explanation. Even if he doesn't mind, our Lu family will never tolerate such a guest. Come, send Miss Xu away."
