The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Jiang Zhiyue was also overwhelmed by the news that Pei Zhilai came to propose marriage to her fourth sister, and forgot that she had beaten Qiao Lijie today.

Now Qiao Chengzong brought Qiao Lijie here, and they happened to meet Pei Zhi who came to propose marriage.

Jiang Zhiyue couldn't help but become more and more annoyed with the Qiao family.

Mrs. Qiao lived in the Duke's Mansion, but she didn't know what Qiao Chengzong brought Qiao Lijie here for.

She always knew that Pei Zhi came to propose marriage, but he came to apologize without telling her!

Do you really think that the people in the Duke's Mansion are made of clay and have no temper?

Jiang Zhiyue glanced at the main hall through the screen, then pulled Jiang Wanbai out. It was not appropriate to say this here.

Jiang Wanbai was pulled away by her, and for some reason he also pulled Jiang Fuyao.

In order not to disturb the people in the main hall, Jiang Fuyao had to get up and follow them to avoid making a big noise.

Jiang Zhiyue was in the side yard behind the main courtyard, recounting the entire incident of beating up Qiao Lijie.

Jiang Wanbai's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Jiang Zhiyue first: "Why didn't you come and tell me earlier!"

Jiang Zhiyue hesitated for a moment, "Fourth sister is happy to see the people from my uncle's family these days, I..."

Jiang Wanbai snorted coldly: "You've already beaten someone up, and you're still afraid that I'm not happy?"

Jiang Zhiyue lowered his eyes slightly, which made Jiang Wanbai even more angry.

He walked forward, grabbed Jiang Zhiyue's hand, forcefully pried open her palm, and slapped her.

Jiang Zhiyue felt pain, but still did not withdraw his hand.

Jiang Wanbai was so angry that he laughed. He turned his head to look at Jiang Fuyao: "Look at how stubborn she is. She is exactly the same as when she was a child!"

"Can't you trust me a little more!"

"You and I grew up together, and we had our share of quarrels, but when have I ever doubted your character?"

"It's clearly my cousin who was wrong in this matter. Good job on you! He deserves to be beaten!"

Jiang Wanbai was naturally arrogant. Even though she liked her uncle's family very much, she was not so arrogant as to let her cousin comment on her and Achan without getting angry.

How could a cousin say this about his cousin?

He is not a good guy!

Compared to this, Jiang Wanbai was even more angry with Jiang Zhiyue!

She didn't even tell me as soon as she got home!

Could it be that I am the kind of unreasonable person who would blame her for this?

Jiang Wanbai's eyes turned red with anger as he thought about this, and he decisively let go of Jiang Zhiyue's hand.

Jiang Zhiyue stared at Jiang Wanbai in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It was Jiang Fuyao who comforted Jiang Wanbai first, and then gave Jiang Zhiyue a look.

Jiang Wanbai was angry. Seeing this, she said coldly, "Stop giving her the look. We are mean people who don't know what's good for us."

When Jiang Zhiyue heard this, he knew that Jiang Wanbai was very angry.

She no longer hesitated and explained to Jiang Wanbai, "That's not what I meant. I just didn't want to spoil Fourth Sister's fun."

"I am a mean person who judges others by my own standards. Please forgive me, Fourth Sister."

"It won't happen again."

Jiang Wanbai stared at her fiercely: "Speak clearly, I will never do this again?"

"I will never hide anything from you again."

Jiang Zhiyue looked at Jiang Wanbai frankly with a very sincere attitude.

Jiang Wanbai did not insist on getting to the bottom of the matter with Jiang Zhiyue. She also knew that she had done a lot of things against Achan in the past, so it was no wonder that she couldn't control her mood.

"Forget it, forget it. I forgive you. I was also at fault in this matter. I will give you both fifty lashes and let's forget about it."

Jiang Wanbai muttered to himself.

Jiang Fuyao heard it clearly and looked at her in surprise.

Jiang Wanbai looked back: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Fourth sister, will there be a day when you will admit your mistakes?" Jiang Fuyao asked curiously.

Jiang Wanbai was about to get angry, but Jiang Zhiyue stopped her: "Fourth sister, fourth sister, this is not the time to bicker."

Jiang Wanbai looked at them both unhappily: "I know!"

-

In the main hall, the old lady and the Princess of Kangshan County sat at the top, with Mr. Jiang and his wife and Pei Zhi's parents on both sides, and the younger generation standing further back.

Jiang Wanbai was naturally not there, and standing behind Mr. Jiang Er was Jiang Rongzhuo.

Pei Zhi stood beside his parents, his posture as straight as a green bamboo and his temperament as gentle as jade.

The Princess of Kangshan County spoke very humbly, and praised Jiang Wanbai, whom she had never met, to the skies.

Old Madam Yan had a gentle look on her face, and she was having a lively conversation with the Princess of Kangshan County.

Originally, the two families were chatting peacefully, but just as they got to the point, they heard those words from the servant.

Master Jiang smiled faintly and glanced at the servant: "Don't you see there are guests in the mansion? You came here rashly and disturbed the distinguished guest."

"Qi Sheng, you are derelict in your duty."

Qi Sheng is the newly promoted deputy steward. The previous deputy steward Qin has been demoted to the manor by the old lady.

Qi Sheng immediately ordered his men to step forward and shut the boy up and take him away.

The servant had received favors from the Qiao family, so he came forward boldly.

Thinking that the Second Master was easy to talk to, there would probably be no punishment.

Who would have thought that the Second Master would be so powerful today, and this kid would run into trouble, which also happened to be the first spark for Qi Sheng to become the deputy steward.

It won't end well for him.

Mr. Jiang remained calm, and the Pei family members pretended that this incident had never happened.

Mrs. Qiao was a little uneasy, but looking at Mr. Jiang's unmoved appearance, she knew that it would be impossible for the Qiao family to get anything good in the Duke's Mansion today.

The most important thing at the moment is Wanbai’s marriage.

Pei Zhi came from the Ministry of Justice and paid close attention to details.

He just heard that the Qiao family came to apologize to the fourth and sixth young ladies.

Pei Zhi was cautious.

But now is not the time to deal with this matter.

The old princess' words had already laid the groundwork, so Pei Zhi took the initiative to propose marriage.

When Jiang Wanbai, Jiang Zhiyue and the others entered behind the screen again, they only had time to hear Pei Zhi say, "I will never take a concubine in this life, and I will never have another lover."

Jiang Wanbai subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, but her view was blocked by the screen.

She was a little hesitant: Did he like her so much? After meeting her once, he didn't want anyone else?

The topic of marriage proposal in the main hall went smoothly.

The Qiao family was stopped in the flower hall by Qi Sheng, and guards were sent to guard them.

Qiao Chengzong's face became extremely ugly after Qi Sheng sent the guards over.

He had never suffered such a humiliation!

Qi Sheng looked coldly at the father and son of the Qiao family in the flower hall. Knowing that the host was entertaining guests, he actually bribed the servant to report the news!

This kind of clumsy method of openly disgusting people and trying to deceive the distinguished guests is really astonishing!

It's a slap in the face of him, the new butler!

Qi Sheng was wondering, how could there be such a shameless person who would harm others without benefiting himself!

Turning to the main hall, when Old Lady Yan heard Pei Zhi say that he would no longer take a concubine, she looked at the elders of the Pei family.

The Princess of Kangshan looked as usual, and the Crown Prince and his wife also had a faint smile on their faces.

Master Jiang curved his lips and looked at Pei Zhi: "My dear nephew Pei, I know you are sincere."

"But my daughter's marriage has to be approved by her."

Pei Zhi met Mr. Jiang's scrutinizing gaze calmly and said, "Of course."
