Chapter 214: Ginger is still spicy with age
"There was a fight... there was a fight..."
"There was a fight over at the Flower Hall..."
Jiang Miaomiao ran towards the flower hall with her short legs, shouting.
"Who started the fight?"
"Qi, it's Qi, she just went over there..."
"Who did Qi fight with?"
"Let's go and take a look..."
The ladies flocked towards the flower hall.
Jiang Miaomiao was left behind.
Ugh! These women.
Where there are many women, there is more bustle.
No matter whether you are rich or poor, or what class you belong to.
Like the aunties and sisters in Taoxi Village, they all have gossipy and curious hearts.
When Jiang Miaomiao arrived, the hall was already crowded with people.
The eldest brother and Aunt Xiuxiu blocked the way in the yard and only let the ladies in.
A curious young man came over.
The eldest brother persuaded her to retreat, "Women are fighting, and their clothes are disheveled. Everyone should stop watching."
Untidy clothes?
The young men looked at each other in bewilderment.
That makes sense, they really can't watch it.
If you see something you shouldn't see, it could easily lead to death.
They all retreated.
Xier squeezed into the crowd holding the little master.
Then I saw Mrs. Fang and Qi Caiwei wrestling with each other.
Jiang Zijin and Fang Jingxian were both crying anxiously. They wanted to step forward to separate the fight, but after being kicked several times for no reason, they could only wipe their tears.
Instead, the maids brought by the two men started to fight with each other.
Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn, and her hairpins, rings, and jewelry were scattered all over the place.
Qi Caiwei grabbed Madam Fang's hair and cursed, "That ungrateful old thing Fang Zhengqing is so lucky. She only got to where she is today thanks to my father. Now she dares to betray me just to climb up the social ladder. Isn't she afraid that the heavens will strike her to death..."
"Don't think that marrying Lu Qingyao will allow you to climb onto the high branch of Princess Liang."
Madam Fang howled in pain and grabbed Qi Caiwei's hair with her backhand, "Mad dog, you're the Shangshu's daughter, but you're just a mad dog that bites people indiscriminately."
She was just talking to her daughter, and everything was going well.
Unexpectedly, Qi Caiwei heard what she said, kicked the door open and slapped her.
No matter how much the Fang family feared Minister Qi, they could not allow themselves to be humiliated by a notorious concubine's daughter.
What's more.
Now that things have come to this, there is no room for redemption.
The ladies outside the door still didn't understand after hearing this.
I only heard that Mrs. Fang wanted to marry Mrs. Lu.
But then they heard shocking words.
Qi Caiwei sneered, "Don't dream of marrying Lu Qingyao! I'm afraid she doesn't know that Fang Xuezheng cheated in the imperial examination and switched papers. If she knew, do you think she would still marry you?"
Mrs. Fang's face, which was covered with several scratches, turned pale.
Suddenly I realized that the outside was full of spectators.
Her heart trembled.
It’s over…
It is said that one gossip is worth ten censors.
I don’t know how many gossips there are.
Jiang Zijin wished she could just bang her head against the wall and die. Her mother's behavior of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting herself by eight hundred made her vomit blood.
Shouldn't have come.
I shouldn't have come today...
However, before she could stop herself, she heard words that made her even more devastated.
"Switched the test papers?"
"What a joke! Who was it that wanted to swap the papers? Wasn't it your father, the Minister of State, who abused his power to force my husband to swap Jiang Ziyan's and Jiang Zipei's papers, hoping to impersonate Jiang Ziyan's results..."
There was an uproar outside the house.
Jiang Miaomiao exclaimed, "Old ginger is still spicy."
Turn around.
Then she saw her mother carrying a bucket of water in...
He quickly covered his eyes.
Mrs. Fang immediately changed into a weak attitude, and tears rolled down her face.
Youyou cried and complained, "Everyone knows that Madam Jiang's second son is a disciple of Imperial Tutor Cui. Imperial Tutor Cui is a great scholar of the time, so it's not surprising that he can teach a top scholar..."
"My husband refused to do such a shameless and immoral thing, but your son failed the exam and Jiang Ziyan took first place. You harbor a grudge and take your anger out on me... How could you bully others like this?"
"Everyone, please give me some judgment... wuwuwu..."
Qi Caiwei's face turned pale instantly, and a mouthful of blood blocked her chest.
Almost fainted.
What did I just say?
Suddenly I felt a basin of cold water poured down on my head.
…
Take a closer look.
Against the light.
A tall woman stood in front of them, holding a bucket in her hand.
"I'm sorry, with you guys like this, I can't pull you apart or persuade you, I can only..." Lu Qingyao said helplessly.
Jiang Miaomiao looked through her fingers.
Staring at Qi Caiwei intently.
Oh my god!
This ancient cosmetic is indeed not waterproof.
The white powder on her face mixed with the eyebrow pencil and flowed down her face, black and white...
It's horrible!
"Her face... Look, her face..." A cry of surprise came from the crowd.
Both of them had messy hair and were soaked.
Qi Caiwei finally reacted and reached out to touch her face.
"ah……"
After a scream, he rushed out of the crowd.
Mrs. Fang had no time to care about anything else at this moment.
Saving your life is important.
He quickly pulled his daughter out of Lu Garden and headed home.
Now that things have come to this, saving your life is the most important thing!
What happened today will definitely reach the ears of the Censor within a month.
letter……
My husband must still have the letter that Minister Qi sent him.
Anyway, the substitution failed. As long as I hand over those letters, I might be able to atone for my sins.
Save a life.
Thinking of this, she asked the coachman to speed up.
Qi Caiwei returned home and looked in the mirror.
I almost fainted.
I can't stay in Jiangzhou anymore.
I can't wait a moment longer...
Jiang Zijin followed behind, walking back home in a daze.
She didn't care about her mother and went back to her room. She didn't leave the room until five o'clock in the morning.
Standing in front of her mother's bed, pushing her mother, she said quietly: "Mother, it's time for us to set off back to the capital."
Qi Caiwei woke up suddenly and almost frightened herself to death.
Sit up.
I feel pain all over my body.
Hiss! It hurts...
The scalp hurts especially.
She grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Jin'er, your brother hasn't been brought back yet, how can you leave? Wait a little longer, okay?"
Jiang Zijin stared blankly at her mother, expressionless. "Mother, you've gotten into big trouble, you know? Within a month, your conversation with that woman from the Fang family will be reported back to the capital. Official Fang might have something to hold against my grandfather. By then..."
Your Majesty will investigate, and the censors will not let go.
My grandfather was the first to be blamed for cheating in the imperial examinations...
"By then, we can never go back."
"Do you want to stay in Jiangzhou with your brother forever, or return to the capital as soon as possible?"
