On New Year's Eve, tens of thousands of houses were lit up.
When Liu-shi brought Su Wan into the back palace, there were already a lot of people in the palace garden.
Among the large group of noble ladies dressed in gorgeous colors, Chen Qing Jin, who was dressed in plain brocade, was particularly eye-catching —
Wasn't the so-called washing away all the splendor just another kind of grandstanding?
Tonight, Su Wan still followed Liu-shi's instructions and wore a bright red cotton skirt and palace dress. Her long hair was also tied into the most popular hair pendant in the Imperial Capital. She didn't ask for it to be too conspicuous, but she asked for it to not be rude in front of people.
"Sister Wan, you came!"
The first to rush up and greet Su Wan was impressively Chen Qing Yao. The little girl was also wearing a crimson heavy palace dress tonight, setting off her immature little face even more fair and sparkling.
"Sister Qingyao."
Su Wan nodded her head at Chen Qing Yao. Because she had already broken off the engagement with Chen jia, Su Wan was very polite towards Chen Qing Yao's intimacy, and those noble daughters of official families all hid at the side and whispered.
Su Wan knew that the original owner was famous for being spoiled and willful in the Imperial Capital. Those noble ladies who were talented and virtuous had always been cold and aloof and were unwilling to deal with Su Wan, this kind of ignorant "straw bag". And those who had slightly lower statuses and wanted to get close to her, were looked down upon by the original owner.
Therefore, in reality, the only one who could talk to Su Wan in every big banquet was really only Chen Qing Yao, this black-bellied little loli.
At this time, Liu-shi had already been pulled over by Madam Wang to gather with a group of Marquis's furens. Madam Yu was also chatting and laughing with a group of familiar furens.
Chen Qing Yao pulled Su Wan and asked her many questions. The two people were talking and laughing and could be considered amiable.
On the contrary, it was Chen Qing Jin who had been sitting alone not too far away, coldly looking at Chen Qing Yao and Su Wan chatting cheerfully and wittily. She slightly lowered her eyes, the corner of her mouth sweeping up a mocking smile —
In this life, Su Wan shouldn't hope to marry into Chen jia. Chen Qing Yao still tried so hard to rope her in. She didn't know what she was planning … …
"Sister Wan, why did you break off the engagement with brother?"
Chen Qing Yao, who affectionately pulled Su Wan and asked all sorts of questions, suddenly changed the topic to Chen Yu Shu. A trace of loneliness flashed on her charming face: "Recently gege is very unhappy. Qing Yao is also unhappy. Wan jiejie, you're so good. If you become my sister-in-law, you definitely won't bully me."
Saying this, Chen Qing Yao also deliberately shook Su Wan's arm.
"I and Brother Yu Shu are not fated. Even if others marry into Shen fu in the future, no one would dare to bully you. You are the daughter of the Shen family, who would dare to bully you?"
Su Wan unobtrusively pulled out her arm from Chen Qing Yao's hand, a smile on her face as she softly spoke.
"Who said no one bullied me?"
Chen Qing Yao's gaze flashed and unobtrusively glanced at Chen Qing Jin not far away: "Wan jiejie, I … … I have something, but I don't know if I should tell you or not."
"Oh? What is it? "
Su Wan's face revealed curiosity, eagerly looking at Chen Qing Yao's face.
Chen Qing Yao moved closer to Su Wan's side, pulled her sleeve, and whispered in her ear: "Wan jiejie, do you still remember Yu Ru's matter last time?"
Yu Ru … …
Hearing Chen Qing Yao's words, Su Wan's expression really became very complicated, even her voice somewhat trembled: "You, what do you know?"
"I found the servant girl who brought everyone to the rear courtyard's wing room that day. After that incident, she was driven out of the Marquis fu and sold to a brothel. I gave her a large sum of money and let her redeem herself. Only then did she help me carefully recall the scene of that day. She said … … she saw with her own eyes that Wan jiejie, you, went to the rear courtyard by yourself. Afterwards, when she left, she also saw a person. That person was Yu Ru. She seemed to have been following behind you!"
Chen Qing Yao had indeed been secretly investigating that day's matter, and now she already had a result in her heart.
Although she didn't know why Chen Qing Jin wanted to do that, since she caught hold of Chen Qing Jin's weakness, she naturally had to be good at using it!
When Su Wan heard Chen Qing Yao's words, she firmly bit her lips and made a very angry appearance: "I remember, that day I drank a cup of tea and it seemed to have been handed to me by Yu Ru. Afterwards, I felt a bit stuffy so I went outside to get some wind. As a result, I saw Yu Shu ge's figure flash by. I originally wanted to look for him to talk, but unknowingly, I was led to the rear courtyard by that figure. Then … … someone knocked me out from behind. That person, could it be Yu Ru? But … … but why did she want to harm me? "
As Su Wan spoke, she revealed an extremely angry expression.
"Wan jiejie, Yu Ru is only a servant. How could she have the ability and courage to scheme against you? I'm guessing that there must be someone instigating her from behind! "
Speaking till here, Chen Qing Yao imperceptibly glanced at Chen Qing Jin not far away.
"It's Chen Qing Jin? It's Chen Qing Jin, right? "
Su Wan's tone suddenly became fierce: "I knew it was her, it must be her!"
"Wan jiejie, don't be so agitated!"
Seeing Su Wan being so supportive, Chen Qing Yao revealed an expression of wanting to say something but hesitating: "Although jiejie likes to pester gege, but … … jiejie, she wouldn't be so vicious, right? Jiejie, she … … "
"Hmph, she's deliberately trying to separate me and Yu Shu ge, this slut!"
At this time, Su Wan seemed to completely not hear Chen Qing Yao's "dissuasion". She suddenly took large strides forward and walked in front of the short table that Chen Qing Jin was sitting at.
Picking up the wine pot on the table, Su Wan didn't even look and opened the lid, pouring the entire pot of wine onto Chen Qing Jin's face — —
"Ah!"
Chen Qing Yao, who rushed over, cried out in alarm and immediately successfully attracted everyone's gazes.
"Su Wan, what are you doing?"
Chen Qing Jin, whose face was suddenly drenched with wine, also stood up at this time and inexplicably looked at the angry Su Wan in front of him.
"Doing what? I want to properly teach you, slut, a lesson today! "
Su Wan raised her brows and looked at Chen Qing Jin with a face full of contempt: "Chen Qing Jin, you're playing dirty tricks behind people's backs, what kind of skill is scheming? Didn't you just want to separate me and Yu Shu ge? Now that you've gotten what you want, aren't you especially proud? "
"Young Miss Su, what are you doing!"
"Wan er, don't mess around!"
At this time, Yu-shi and Liu-shi also brought a group of Official Furens and rushed over. Under the dissuasion of the crowd, Su Wan, who was "in a fit of anger", raised her eyes and swept her gaze over the crowd: "Today, I want to expose Chen Qing Jin's true colors in front of everyone. Last time in Marquis Qingchuan fu, it was she who played dirty tricks behind my back and wanted to harm me. Seeing that she couldn't harm me, she pushed her personal maid out to be a scapegoat!"
"Ah!"
Hearing Su Wan's words, the crowd burst into exclamations. The majority of the people who came to attend the banquet today were witnesses of that matter. At this time, when they heard Su Wan's "revelation", they were all shocked.
Yu-shi and her daughter, Chen Qing Yao, unobtrusively looked at each other and when Liu-shi heard Su Wan's words, her expression immediately turned cold and her gaze ruthlessly stared at Chen Qing Jin.
"Young Miss Su, catch the thief and get the stolen goods. Don't listen to other people's misleading words and casually slander others!"
Compared to Su Wan's "flustered and exasperated", although Chen Qing Jin cut a sorry figure at this time, the expression on her face looked especially calm and unperturbed: "You and my gege have an engagement, you can also be considered as my future sister-in-law. Gege has always treated me well, why would I want to harm you?"
"Hmph, it's because Yu Shu ge treats you well that you want to harm me even more. Because you, this shameless slut, like Yu Shu ge!"
Su Wan raised her chin and looked at Chen Qing Jin with disdain.
To deal with a person like Chen Qing Jin, if you reason with her and talk about evidence, you might be brought into the ditch by her. Su Wan preferred a more simple and crude method to deal with this kind of person.
Don't you think that I'm willful and rash? Then older sister will be willful for you to see today.
"You … …"
Hearing Su Wan's words, Chen Qing Jin's complexion turned green: "You're maliciously slandering me!"
Chen Qing Jin and Chen Yu Shu were biological brother and sister, and because the relationship between the brother and sister had always been especially good, they had always been the object of envy of many noble children. At this time, hearing Su Wan say that Chen Qing Jin actually liked her own gege, everyone in the crowd looked at Chen Qing Jin with strange gazes … …
