Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

Hearing the sound, everyone looked forward.

Few of the ladies present knew Jing Huai, let alone Dong Ling Yan who was behind Jing Huai.

The person sitting in the wooden wheelchair being pushed by a servant should be the prince of the marquisate.

Since he is personally accompanied by the prince of the Marquis's Mansion, his status must be quite high.

The ladies present couldn't help but blush when they saw Jing Huai, such a handsome and elegant man.

When they heard him call himself "General", everyone was wondering who this general was and how he could have such a good appearance.

I don’t even know if he’s married?

Given their status, they cannot be wives, but they can still enter the mansion as concubines.

Some young ladies with limited knowledge were already fascinated by such a scene.

"If I could be his concubine, I would die without regrets."

Dong Lingyan stood behind Jing Huai, blocked by the big tree, and glanced at Xue Feimu next to him.

Xue Feimu was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his back was soaked with sweat.

None of the important people he had invited today came, and he was even more disappointed when he received the news from the female guest.

However, he did not expect that when he was feeling hopeless, he received a message from the front saying that General Dongling and General Jing were coming.

He invited General Dong Ling just to try his luck, but he didn't expect that he would actually come.

It goes without saying that General Dong Ling's status and position are very high. All the people who came today combined are not as good as one finger of General Dong Ling.

This young Master Jing was the youngest son of General Dongling’s aunt. Although he was young, he was in charge of 200,000 reserve troops in the capital, and was someone he could not afford to offend.

Originally, their coming was a great joy for Xue Feimu.

He immediately asked the servant to push him to meet them. Halfway there, he saw General Dongling and General Jing had already entered the door.

General Jing said he wanted to pay his respects to his grandmother, so of course he had no reason to refuse and went along.

On the way over, he exchanged a few pleasantries and was about to bring up the matter of his official position when he heard what the ladies were saying.

Everyone knows that General Dongling's stepmother was a concubine. He probably hates favoring concubines and neglecting his wife the most in his life.

Now Chu Wan'er appeared, acting like this, and directly bumped into the edge of the knife.

Things that I originally had some hope for are now illusory.

At this moment, Xue Feimu wished he could dig a hole in the ground and stuff Chu Wan'er in it.

Before today, he repeatedly reminded Chu Wan'er of the importance of the welcoming banquet and told her that she must not make any mistakes.

Although there was no specific instruction for her not to appear in front of the guests, she was also told in detail that if there were distinguished guests, she must not offend them.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong.

At this moment, he wished he could tear Chu Wan'er apart.

"General Jing, it's a misunderstanding." Xue Feimu smiled, but Jing Huai didn't even look at him.

He stopped beside a flower bed not far away and didn't go any closer.

He looked at the old lady with a half-smile on his face:

“I admire the old marquis, so I came to the marquis’ mansion to greet the old lady, but I didn’t expect to see this scene. It’s really... funny.

"You all don't think there's anything wrong with a mansion where my aunt is in charge. I have different ideas from you, so I won't go along with you. Today, Master Xue, just pretend that I have never been here. I don't think my cousin would want to stay for long in such an occasion."

Dong Lingyan turned around and left, responding to Jing Huai's words with his actions.

"General, please stay." Xue Feimu wanted to stop him, but his leg was injured and he didn't dare to use force. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

The old lady finally reacted and saw that the situation was not good. She quickly got up and chased after him:

"General, you misunderstood. That's not the case. The Marquis's Mansion would never let a concubine take charge. It's just that my grandson's wife is ill. It's really not the right time for her to get sick, and the welcoming banquet can't be delayed. That's why I resorted to this last resort and asked my concubine to help."

The old lady didn't know this General Jing, but looking at Xue Feimu's expression, she knew that he was an important figure whom she couldn't afford to offend, so she hurriedly explained.

Jing Huai turned around and said: "Do you think I am blind?

"Whose concubine would dress like this and parade around in public on such an occasion?

"If she didn't say it herself, wouldn't everyone think she was the Crown Prince's wife?

"These days, I have heard rumors from outsiders that the prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate favors his concubine and kills his wife. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true."

"No, no, no, it's not like that. General Jing misunderstood." Xue Feimu was eager to explain.

Jing Huai asked in a good-tempered tone, "Oh, then tell me, where did I misunderstand?

"Is it that this concubine doesn't dress like the mistress?

"It's this concubine. Isn't this headgear better than what the ladies here are wearing?

"Isn't her Sujin outfit better than the ones worn by the ladies sitting here?"

Hearing this, all the ladies looked at Chu Wan'er.

really.

She indeed dresses and wears better than a proper lady like herself.

Just now everyone thought she was the Crown Prince's wife, so they didn't think much about it. Now that they know she is just a concubine, they suddenly understand something different.

As a lady, I should never be compared to a concubine.

Normally, being a concubine is fine, but today is the Marquis's banquet, and a concubine is better than the wives among the guests, and it is not right for her to show off like this.

After careful consideration, all the ladies felt a real sense of humiliation.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Jing Huai saw that the old lady and Xue Feimu were speechless, and thought of the news he had found about the Marquis' Mansion before. He did not have a good impression of them at all, so he continued:

"Or can your concubine openly come to deliver gifts and introduce things to guests?

"Is there no servants left in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion?

"Can't you find a decent maid?

"You need a concubine to pretend to be the mistress to do such a thing? How do you expect the ladies here to deal with it?"

If Jing Huai hadn't said this, everyone would have just laughed it off.

It wasn't a big deal for a concubine to send some gifts, but after hearing what he said, everyone felt more and more insulted.

Some people were impatient and even wanted to find an excuse to leave immediately.

Especially the two ladies of similar level to the Marquis' Mansion, they felt like they had a thorn in their backs and couldn't sit still for a moment.

I had already made up my mind that as soon as the general left, I would find an excuse to leave.

The Marquis' Mansion is so unruly, there is no need to make friends with such a family.

After Jing Huai finished speaking, he followed Dong Lingyan and left without looking back.

Xue Feimu asked the servant to push the car quickly to chase after him. The old lady didn't dare to go forward, nor could she stop him. She turned around and looked at Chu Wan'er, and even wanted to kill her.

At this moment, Chu Wan'er's face turned pale with fright.

There was no trace of the calm and composed look he had just now.

The ladies standing by couldn't help but point fingers at her.

Chu Wan'er felt as if she was stripped naked. Those strange looks fell on her, full of humiliation and contempt.

She didn't understand why it turned out like this.

Obviously everything was fine, including coming to deliver the items today, what to say and how to do it. She had rehearsed it countless times in advance to ensure there were no mistakes.

We were about to succeed, but something like this happened.

At this moment, the two ladies in front stood up and said goodbye to the old lady.

"Thank you for your hospitality, old lady. A maid just called back and said that there was something urgent at home and she needed to go back urgently. I'm really sorry. I'll visit you another day. I wish Master Xue a bright future and a long and prosperous journey."

"Madam, I am leaving too. My master is ill today, and I originally wanted to come over to visit. Now that I have seen you and sat down to talk for a while, I will leave. I have no choice but to leave. I really cannot leave. I hope you will forgive me."

The old lady knew why they wanted to leave, and she was making up excuses to make everyone look better.

He also knew that he couldn't keep these two people once they started talking, so he tried to persuade them to stay with a smile on his face. However, the other party had no intention of staying, so he agreed.

"I am truly sorry for the misunderstanding today. I have made a fool of myself by letting you two see my true colors. I will clean up the house another day and invite you two ladies to have a chat. I hope you will come and see me then."

"Natural nature."

Both ladies responded in kind, but everyone present could see that their responses were perfunctory.

The status of these two ladies' mansions is no less than that of the marquis's residence, so they can leave at will.

But they didn't dare, because their mansions were not as good as the Marquis's Mansion. Although they had some complaints about the Marquis's Mansion's actions today, they didn't have the confidence to leave directly, so they sat quietly, but they always felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The old lady looked at Chu Wan'er and said, holding back her temper:

"Go down. If you need anything later, just ask someone below to come. I know you want to help, but we have enough manpower here."

After all, there were so many guests, the old lady had to save her face and let her go.

Chu Wan'er bowed and left.

But I felt extremely uneasy.

She knew in her heart that the old lady had not punished her because she was concerned about the guests present.

I will never let her go after this.

Chu Wan'er wanted to cry but had no tears, but there was nothing she could do. She had planned everything, but she had never expected that something like this would happen at this moment.

After Chu Wan'er left, the atmosphere in the garden calmed down a little.

Originally, the old lady looked at these ladies from small families and was reluctant to pay attention to them, but there were two ladies from mansions similar to the marquis' mansion, so she had to accompany them.

Now the two ladies had left, but she couldn't leave.

Such a thing happened in the Marquis' Mansion. In order to maintain the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, she should appease the remaining guests. Otherwise, who knows what will happen if the news gets out.

The old lady gritted her teeth and entertained him, but she already wanted to cut Chu Wan'er into pieces in her heart.

I prepared so many things today and spent so much money, but it turned out to be like throwing meat buns at a dog, nothing comes back.

In the Wutong courtyard.

Jiang Qingyue was sitting at the desk in front of the window copying scriptures.

There was a clear sound from the window opposite.

Jiang Qingyue's heart moved, and she looked across, and saw Dong Lingyan leaning on the window sill and smiling at her.

The sunlight shone down from behind him, so bright that it was blinding.

I have to say that Dong Lingyan has a very good-looking appearance. When he smiles like that, it makes people's heart beat faster.

She gave a few instructions to Luhuan who was outside the door, and Luhuan went out and sent all the servants in the yard away.

It was quiet in the Wutong Courtyard.

Dong Lingyan came over and sat down in front of Jiang Qingyue.

Watch her write, pick it up and read.

“The handwriting is good.”

"Thank you for the compliment, General."

"Why didn't you go out and see what's going on?"

"I don't like this kind of excitement."

"The old lady of the Marquisate said you were ill?"

"Thank you for your concern, General. Qingyue is in good health."

Dong Lingyan looked at her and nodded, "I think so too."

"You're going to let them bully you like this?"

Jiang Qingyue lowered her head slightly, and then gave him a sweet smile:

"Then tell me, General, what should I do?"

Dong Lingyan was choked and couldn't speak.

Yes, Jiang Qingyue is just a woman who depends on her husband's family for life.

The old lady was plotting against her, her husband didn't care about her, and she had a concubine who was eyeing her covetously. What could a woman like her do?

Looking at her clear eyes, Dong Lingyan avoided her gaze.

“It sounds pathetic.

"Forget it, you don't have to be sad. I have already taught them a lesson for you. That concubine will not have a good life."

Jiang Qingyue stood up and bowed deeply to Dong Lingyan.

"Qingyue thanks the general for standing up for her. Qingyue knows that if this happened to someone else, the general wouldn't even look at it.

"The general is of noble status, but he did this for Qingyue. He really cares about Qingyue.

"Qingyue doesn't know what else to say except gratitude. Qingyue remembers the general's kindness in her heart."

She didn't know what Dong Lingyan had done, but it was always right to say thank you and show loyalty.

A smile appeared on Dong Lingyan's face.

Putting aside other things, the prince's wife speaks very nicely.

He found that he quite liked listening to her talk.

"Okay, it's worth my trip for you."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyue's heart moved, and she tugged at her sleeves slightly.

"Qingyue is very grateful."

"You keep saying thank you, and it seems like you mean it sincerely, but you haven't even thought of looking for me in the past few days."

"The general is busy with official duties, Qingyue did not dare to disturb him. Qingyue thought that if the general wanted to see Qingyue, he would naturally come to Qingyue. If Qingyue rashly went to find the general and brought trouble to the general, it would be Qingyue's fault."

Dong Lingyan waved his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous. You can go to the General's Mansion whenever you want. This general allows you to go anytime. If I have something to say, someone will tell you. Just wait for a while."

Jiang Qingyue lowered her eyes, "Yes, Qingyue has made a note of it."

Dong Lingyan looked at her with her head lowered and her docile appearance, and thought of her innocent and lovely look when she said that friendship on the bed in the flower pavilion of the general's mansion. He always felt that Jiang Qingyue in front of him was not her real appearance.

Even though this person was right in front of him, he always had a feeling that she was a mystery.

It was covered in thick white fog, and when I tried to see clearly, the fog became thicker and thicker.

"You want a divorce?"

Jiang Qingyue's body suddenly paused, and he looked up at Dong Lingyan, with emotions in his eyes that he could not understand.

There is sparkling.

It made his heart tremble.

"Why? Don't you want to? Or are you still attached to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Jiang Qingyue looked at him steadily without saying anything.

Dong Lingyan said again:

"If you get divorced, you can live in my villa. Don't worry, it's safe there. No one will disturb you, and there won't be any trouble.

"If you want to go back to the Jiang family, or want to meet someone from the Lin family, I will make arrangements and nothing will go wrong."

Jiang Qingyue lowered her eyes.

The light in his eyes dimmed in an instant.
