Those who were invited by the Empress Dowager to attend the banquet in the back palace were naturally noble ladies. These noble ladies were used to being elegant and indifferent in front of others. Even if they were fighting in their own residences, they were definitely experts in putting on an act. Everyone had never seen such a brazen shrew quarrel like Su Wan before.
At this time, Chen Qing Jin was also trembling with anger because of Su Wan. Even if she was normally rational and indifferent, being slandered by Su Wan in front of everyone's eyes, the anger in her heart couldn't help but rise.
"Su Wan, if you speak irresponsibly again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Chen Qing Jin suppressed her anger and fiercely glared at Su Wan in front of her. Seeing Chen Qing Jin get angry, Su Wan somewhat contemptuously smiled: "What, you flew into a rage out of humiliation after being exposed by me in front of everyone? Chen Qing Jin, look at you. It's the New Year and everyone is dressed jubilantly. Only you are dressed as if your mother died. Aiya, sorry, I almost forgot that your mother died a long time ago! "
Seeing that Su Wan not only didn't know how to restrain herself, but also deliberately talked about her mother who died early, Chen Qing Jin could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She suddenly raised her arm and waved it, wanting to hit Su Wan's face —
"You don't have the qualifications to talk about my mother! You're not worthy! "
"Pa!"
Chen Qing Jin's hand was struck down in midair by Su Wan who was already prepared: "I'm not worthy?"
Su Wan narrowed her eyes and coldly looked at Chen Qing Jin in front of her: "Whether I'm worthy or not, it's Chen Furen who has the final say! And whether I'm worthy or not, it's also Chen Yu Shu who has the final say! Chen Qing Jin, what do you think you are? As a daughter, do you hold a memorial service for your deceased mother every year? As a younger sister, you deliberately broke up your own older brother's marriage. Have you ever thought about your older brother's feelings? A person like you actually keeps on saying that I, Su Wan, am not worthy! "
Hearing Su Wan's words, Chen Qing Jin stared blankly and the surrounding people couldn't help but keep quiet. They had never seen such an overbearing Su Wan.
In the past, in order to express goodwill to Chen Yu Shu, Su Wan would regularly visit Chen Furen's grave every year to pay her respects. At that time, she was regarded as a "love-struck fool" and was the joke of the entire Imperial Capital.
Now, listening to Su Wan's words, those noble ladies couldn't help but become silent … ….
In the midst of everyone's silence, Chen Qing Jin's expression became even more unsightly. Before her rebirth, she had been deceived by Yu shi's hypocrisy and had always treated her as her own mother. And after her rebirth, she had always been thinking of taking revenge on all the people who had wronged her in her previous life. Chen Qing Jin simply did not have the time or the mind to pay respects to her mother who had died early.
Hatred had long blinded Chen Qing Jin's eyes, making her unable to see the affection and love of this world. What she saw was only betrayal and deception, only disgust and hatred.
At this time, feeling everyone's peculiar gazes looking at her and seeing Su Wan's arrogant face in front of her, Chen Qing Jin once again recalled her miserable past life. She thought of the unborn child that had died innocently in her womb. For a moment, sorrow rose in her heart. She couldn't care too much and with a pale face, she rushed towards Su Wan in front of her —
In the previous life, if it wasn't because of Su Wan's obstruction, her brother would definitely seek justice for her and she wouldn't have ended up buried in the fire!
Thinking of this, Chen Qing Jin's gaze towards Su Wan carried a bone-deep hatred.
Seeing Chen Qing Jin rushing towards her, Su Wan only smiled. Just as she was about to make a move, the sharp and urgent voice of an attendant suddenly came from the entrance of the main hall —
"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
The empress dowager had arrived!
When everyone in the main hall heard the announcement, their complexions greatly changed. While tidying up their makeup, they quickly returned to their positions.
"The empress dowager has arrived! Jiejie, don't be impulsive! "
Seeing that the Empress Dowager's phoenix carriage was about to enter the door, Chen Qing Yao, who had been watching from the side with cold eyes, suddenly stepped forward. While persuading, she pulled on the corner of Chen Qing Jin's clothes.
"Let go!"
Chen Qing Jin still hadn't become muddle-headed from anger. She knew that Chen Qing Yao's sudden action at this time was definitely not good intentions.
So she quickly raised her hand and lightly pushed Chen Qing Yao. She originally wanted to push her away and let her not hinder her, but when Chen Qing Yao retreated, she was seemingly unintentionally tripped by Su Wan beside her. Her whole body's center of gravity was unstable and she swayed and fell to the ground. Her bright and clean forehead just happened to hit the jade floor of the main hall and in an instant, bright red blood flowed out.
This unforeseen event happened so suddenly that when Yu-shi reacted and rushed over to hold her daughter, the Empress Dowager's phoenix carriage had already entered the main hall.
"In the main hall, who is so presumptuous!"
At this time, the main hall was somewhat chaotic. When the attendant attendant saw the scene in the main hall, his eyes couldn't help but turn cold and he loudly berated.
Yu-shi hugged Chen Qing Yao whose forehead was bleeding and tremblingly kneeled on the ground, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
And Chen Qing Jin at the side was the first to recover at this time. She courteously bowed to the Empress Dowager, there wasn't any flustered expression on her face: "This subject's daughter Chen Qing Jin greets the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed and safe!"
In the previous life, Chen Qing Jin was very familiar with the Empress Dowager's temperament and nature. She knew that the Empress Dowager was not an unreasonable person and the Empress Dowager also appreciated those people who were not afraid in the face of danger. So right now, Chen Qing Jin was calm and composed. She even thought of an excuse. As long as the Empress Dowager opened her mouth and asked what the current situation was, she would definitely say that Su Wan deliberately slandered her!
Hearing Chen Qing Jin's words, the Empress Dowager, who was dressed in luxurious clothing, only lightly raised her eyes to glance at her. Immediately after, the Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Su Wan's face. Seeing Su Wan also standing in the middle of the main hall with a pale face, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but frown: "Su jia's girl, what's wrong? Are you scared? Come come come, come over to aijia's side, let aijia take a look! "
Chen Qing Jin: … …
Everyone: … …
"Empress Dowager!"
When Su Wan heard the Empress Dowager's voice, she immediately had an aggrieved face and pitifully rushed to the Empress Dowager's side: "Empress Dowager, you came at the right time. Just now, Chen Qing Jin wanted to hit me and Qing Yao meimei stopped her at the side. In the end, she pushed me to the ground and even injured my forehead! Empress Dowager, you have to uphold justice for this official's daughter! "
"Empress Dowager, you must not listen to Su Wan's one-sided words! The cause of the matter is actually … … "
Chen Qing Jin saw Su Wan inverting right and wrong in front of the Empress Dowager. She couldn't wait to open her mouth to defend herself, but halfway through her words, she was interrupted by the Empress Dowager's cold and dignified voice!
"Impudent! Did aijia allow you to speak? "
The Empress Dowager coldly looked at Chen Qing Jin who was dressed in plain silk and instinctively disliked her. What's more … … she actually dared to bully her future daughter-in-law?
Thinking of her little son who had a bitter life finally found a likeable person with great difficulty and was already preparing to get married, how could she, as the Empress Dowager, allow her future daughter-in-law to be bullied by others in her own territory?
"Yu-shi, tell me what's going on?"
The Empress Dowager's gaze turned and immediately fell on Yu-shi and her daughter who were not far away.
Yu-shi's expression was somewhat complicated: "Replying to the Empress Dowager, my daughter Chen Qing Jin and Eldest Young Miss Su … … had some misunderstanding. She didn't really want to make a move against Eldest Young Miss Su! I hope that the Empress Dowager will investigate clearly! "
Yu-shi's voice trembled, seemingly wanting to defend Chen Qing Jin, but in reality, she was confirming the fact that Chen Qing Jin committed violence in the Palace.
Sure enough, after hearing Yu-shi's words, the Empress Dowager's expression immediately became gloomy and cold. She lowered her eyes and coldly glanced at Chen Qing Jin, then her gaze softly looked at Su Wan in front of her: "Su jia's girl, are you hurt? Quickly let aijia see! "
"This official's daughter is fine, it's just that Qing Yao meimei, she … …"
Su Wan deliberately dragged out the last word, her gaze falling on Chen Qing Yao who was not far away.
At this time, Chen Qing Yao's thoughts were the most complicated among everyone —
All along, Chen Qing Yao felt that she was extremely intelligent. Regardless of whether it was Chen Qing Jin or Su Wan, they were all trash that was toyed with by her in the palm of her hand.
But today, she only knew that her seemingly innocent jiejie also had such a calm and collected side. And that idiot Eldest Young Miss Su, who she had always treated as cannon fodder, was even more amazing with a single brilliant feat!
Just now, Chen Qing Yao saw with her own eyes that Su Wan deliberately tripped her, and now, she was crying out for her injustice in front of the Empress Dowager … …
It was only at this moment that Chen Qing Yao suddenly discovered that the Su Wan in front of her eyes was really unfamiliar. She wasn't at all like the idiot Eldest Young Miss she knew before. Perhaps, the current her was the most real her? … …
"Come, help Chen jia's Young Miss to leave first and summon the Imperial Physician to treat her!"
The Empress Dowager gave an order and palace maids immediately stepped forward to help Chen Qing Yao away from Yu shi's arms.
Waiting until Chen Qing Yao was helped away, the Empress Dowager coldly berated: "Chen Qing Jin, publicly acting violently in the Main Hall, do you know your crime?"
"This subject's daughter doesn't know!"
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was intentionally biased towards Su Wan, Chen Qing Jin's heart refused to accept it. She couldn't help but raise her eyes and meet the Empress Dowager's eyes: "This subject's daughter still has something to say! Today's matter was clearly Su Wan … … "
"Aiyo."
Su Wan's scream once again interrupted Chen Qing Jin's words. Chen Qing Jin's expression was unsightly as she looked at Su Wan exaggeratedly holding her forehead: "My head hurts! I don't know if it was because of her anger. Empress Dowager, it's all Xiao Wan's fault. Xiao Wan shouldn't have provoked Young Miss Chen and shouldn't have argued with her. Today was originally a great day, but Xiao Wan disappointed Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager, please punish me! "
As she spoke, Su Wan assumed a posture of kneeling down to admit her mistake. Not waiting for the people at the side to react, the Empress Dowager had already personally bent down to support Su Wan's arms.
This action once again stunned the little fellows in the room —
What kind of luck did this Eldest Young Miss Su have? She was actually so favored by the Empress Dowager?
Su Wan: The Empress Dowager's son is my backer, would I speak irresponsibly?
"Xiao Wan, don't say that. Right and wrong, justice is in the hearts of people. Ai jia will uphold justice for you!"
This "Xiao Wan", the Empress Dowager said it smoothly. The people at the side were already speechless —
The Empress Dowager was His Majesty's birth mother. The young misses present were all around the same age as the current Princes. Who had the ability to let the Empress Dowager directly call them by their names? Even the Crown Princess didn't have that privilege ah!
Under the dumbstruck gazes of the group of people, only Liu-shi could remain unperturbed with an indifferent face —
That's right, this old mother's daughter will be Jin Wangfei in the future, His Majesty's younger sister-in-law, the Empress Dowager's daughter-in-law. Even the Crown Prince will have to call her Imperial Aunt when he sees her, and pay respect to seniority.
Thinking of this, Liu-shi's mood was exceptionally comfortable.
Alright, in fact, according to seniority and status, marrying Jin Qinwang really wasn't bad?
