"What a glib tongue you have. You must have used this glib tongue to trick Xiang Bei into marrying you."
Jiujiu did not take Pang Wan's previous words to heart. However, when Pang Wan said that she had tricked Xiang Bei into marrying her, Jiujiu could tell that there was a different meaning behind her words.
Jiujiu did not even have a fake smile on her face. She looked at Pang Wan coldly and said, "Marriage is a matter of mutual consent. Madam, how can you make it sound so terrible? Could it be that you and your husband were also tricked into getting married?"
Jiujiu's words were meant to refute Pang Wan's previous words. She did not mean it.
However, there was indeed something fishy about Pang Wan and Xiao Yu's marriage. From a certain point of view, Pang Wan and Xiao Yu's marriage did feel like they had been tricked.
Pang Wan's face instantly flushed red. She looked at Jiujiu with a murderous look in her eyes.
If she was not so far away from Jiujiu, Pang Wan would have raised her hand and slapped Jiujiu.
When she realized that she was not here to argue with Jiujiu but to persuade Jiujiu to leave Xiang Bei on her own accord, Pang Wan swallowed her anger and snorted coldly. "This is your second marriage and you have two children. If you were not tricked, why would a young and talented man like Xiang Bei marry a woman like you?"
Pang Wan's words made Jiujiu laugh out loud.
"Madam, what you said is really funny."
Jiujiu looked at Pang Wan mockingly. "Madam, you have said that my husband is young and talented. If he is not willing, who can force him to marry a woman he does not like? The more you say this, the more it shows that my husband and I are in love."
"Nonsense."
Pang Wan had married Xiao Yu because of the temptation of Grand Tutor Pang's power. She felt that all men in the world were the same. No one could escape the temptation of power.
She would never believe that a man with a bright future would marry a woman with two children just because he liked such a simple word.
When she saw Pang Wan angrily refuting her words, Jiujiu did not explain herself. She just said calmly, "Some things are true if you believe it.
If you believe it, then it is true. If you don't, then it is false. We have different views. There is no need to argue. "
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she spread the things in front of her and prepared to continue her work.
Pang Wan could not convince Jiujiu. She gritted her teeth and said, "So what if it is true? All men in the world are greedy for fame and fortune. Yesterday, he would marry you because he truly loves you, but in a few days, he would abandon you because of other things.
Pang Wan's profound words made Jiujiu stop what she was doing.
Jiujiu looked at Pang Wan.
"A straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. Madam, you didn't come to find me today just because you were curious. I'm a straightforward person. So, can you tell me why you came to find me? Why do you keep talking about my husband to me? What do you want?"
Seeing that Jiujiu was straightforward, Pang Wan did not continue to beat around the bush with Jiujiu. She directly revealed her name, "I am Grand Tutor Pang's daughter, Pang Wan."
From Pang Wan's words and actions when she spoke to Jiujiu, Jiujiu could tell that Pang Wan was a spoiled young miss.
However, Jiujiu did not expect that the world was so small. Pang Wan was actually the current wife of Madam Li's ruthless husband, Xiao Yu.
Jiujiu, who was annoyed by Pang Wan's stupid words, looked at Pang Wan with sympathy.
Jiujiu looked at Pang Wan and smiled, "I have never had any business dealings with the Pang Residence."
"Of course, I don't like a low-class shop like yours."
Jiujiu pretended not to hear Pang Wan belittling her shop. She looked at her and said, "Miss, if you have something to say, please speak frankly. If you don't want to say it, then forgive me for not being able to accompany you any longer."
"My younger sister has taken a fancy to Xiang Bei."
Pang Wan's words made Jiujiu laugh.
People often said that enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. However, it was rare to see a narrow road to this extent.
The older sister had taken a fancy to Madam Li's husband, Xiao Yu, while the younger sister had taken a fancy to her own husband, Xiang Bei. Seriously, all the men in the world were dead. Why did these two sisters keep snatching men from her?
Jiujiu smiled, "Xiang Bei once swore to the heavens that he would only marry me. If he breaks his oath, he will be struck by lightning five times. I'm afraid that he will fail to live up to your sister's good intentions."
"So what?"
Pang Wan smiled disdainfully, "Do you really believe Xiang Bei's words?"
"What? Could it be that as a wife, you can't trust your own husband?"
"Of course, you have to believe it. However, it depends on the person. For people like me and my sister, a man's words are naturally sincere. However, for a woman like you who has remarried, I'm sure he's just saying it casually. You can't take it seriously."
"That's a little interesting." Jiujiu did not have any hopes for Pang Wan's morals as a woman who would steal someone else's husband. However, her double standards were really hilarious.
Pang Wan thought that what she said was very reasonable. However, Jiujiu said that it was interesting. Of course, this meant that it was not a good thing. Pang Wan was instantly displeased. With a gloomy expression, she asked, "How is it interesting?"
Jiujiu chuckled, "Naturally, it means that it's funny. Could it be that Madam really thinks that you're talking about a golden match?"
"Impudent!" Pang Wan suddenly slammed her hand on the table.
"I think that the impudent person is you, Madam." Jiujiu stood up and looked into Pang Wan's eyes, "Madam, you know very well how your husband came about. Now, you want your sister to do the same thing you did. I think that you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
Apart from Imperial Tutor Pang and a few trusted aides, no one else knew about the matter between Pang Wan and Xiao Yu.
Now that Jiujiu had said it with such deep meaning, even if Pang Wan did not think that Jiujiu would know about her and Xiao Yu, she could not help but feel a little guilty.
However, even so, Pang Wan still stubbornly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, my husband and I love each other without any doubts. "
"Since Madam and your husband love each other without any doubts, then you must believe that I love my husband without any doubts. Moreover, my husband has long since sworn to the heavens that if he betrays me, he will definitely die a horrible death. Why must Madam force me to do something against my will?"
"You're really too selfish."
Pang Wan could not convince Jiujiu, so she could only try other ways.
"Oh," Pang Wan's sudden selfishness made Jiujiu laugh. Jiujiu looked at Pang Wan and smiled, "Why do you say that?"
"Xiangbei is the new top scholar. If he needs someone to support him, he will definitely be able to rise up the ranks and be promoted. If he marries my sister, my father will definitely let him have a smooth career. However, if he stubbornly continues to be with you, you can only imagine how his future career will be.
For the sake of that illusory oath, you want to change Xiangbei's career for the rest of his life. If this is not selfish, then what is? "
