Chapter 223: Teach Her a Lesson
Translator: Antonia
“Miss. Mo, are you saying that Hanlei is not entitled to inviting you?”
What a way to put it!
It was Mo Qianxue’s business to either agree or not, but if this woman called Hanlei spoke of ‘entitle’, then things would easily turn ugly!
That being said, Mo Qianxue couldn’t spell it out.
Sensible people would figure that this was a trap that Yuwen Hanlei dug for her, but others would believe that Mo Qianxue was a self-conceited person who bullied others just because she was the future madam of the Ning family…
Mo Qianxue’s sharp eyes took a glance at Yuwen Hanlei. Would this woman not stop it unless a trouble was made?
“An interesting opinion. I never like to compete over poems and the sort, but what does it have to do with entitle?”
If you wished to dwell on this topic, then let’s fight to the end!
The words gave a flash of light in Yuwen Hanleis’s eyes, as if she was surprised at how aggressive Mo Qianxue was.
She had thought that at this moment, Mo Qianxue should answer her question and then agreed to compete with her!
She considered herself as one of the best in terms of poems and songs.
Mo Qianxue couldn’t form a threat against her at all!
In this way, Mo Qianxue’s arrogance would become a hard fact, and then she was defeated by her… She had read about the two poems that Mo Qianxue had composed at the last party, which were too good to be made by a woman. Probably it was brother Shaoqing’s works written according to his own mood and then given to her.
If Mo Qianxue could make a fool of herself in public, then brother Shaoqing wouldn’t keep rejecting Old Madam’s will and turning her down!
However, now everything was beyond her expectations!
“How dare you! Who gives you the courage to talk to our lady like this? Do you know that our lady is a cousin to Master Ning?! A woman like you should hurry and kowtow and apologize to her!”
Things weren’t sorted out yet, and a servant of Yuwen Hanlei suddenly jumped out and spurted out the seemingly righteous words to attack Mo Qianxue.
The Ning family? The super family?
Everyone was stunned at it!
They were just wondering which family this gorgeous lady belonged to. It turned out that she was of such a great background! The cousin lady of the Ning family!
On a sudden, those who were watching and knew inside stories started to chat and discuss with one another. For a time, there was quite a clamor!
In their opinion, although the identity as the future madam of the Ning family sounded intimidating, it was after all a temporary thing. Who could tell what would happen in the future?
Who could foretell what kind of incidents there would be in the future?
In the past, the second madam Ning had been originally arranged for Ning Shaoqing, but what had happened later? When she got married, she became the second madam Ning. Not only so, it was heard that she wasn’t in the least liked by the second master Ning.
Each and every one here had a crystal-clear mind, and of course things at the court had been told them by their husbands or mothers.
The combination of Mo Qianxue and Ning Shaoqing was a threat to the Emperor.
After the official exchange of letters following her Puberty Ritual, the wedding would be held after the Mid-Autumn Festival? Who could guarantee that Mo Qian wouldn’t one day suddenly die of no reason?
Therefore, though Mo Qianxue’s current identity was enviable, there was no one taking her side! And instead, this cousin of Ning Shaoqing was regarded as the real phoenix!
A member of the Ning family would always have the blood-tie even after she got married, so even if it didn’t mean visible wealth, it was always good to befriend with a Ning!
Besides, as the says goes, cousins are born to make a couple.
What if immediately after Mo Qianxue moved to the Ning family, this cousin became another wife of Ning Shaoqing or a beloved concubine… Nothing was settled yet!
Although the wedding wasn’t held yet, Mo Qianxue was the official fiancé. What position would she take in the Ning clan if she apologizes now? …
Everyone had different thoughts in their minds, some chatting, others polishing the apple. All kinds of voices hit the ear nonstop, as if they had forgotten what the girl servant had said, but in fact, the attentive ears and eyes were actually resting over here.
Susu took a glance at the noisy crowd over there and frowned.
“What a showy manner! What to be bragged about as merely his cousin? If a sister of his showed up, wouldn’t these people kneel down to please her?”
The indignant look of Junzhu Susu gave a warmth in Mo Qianxue’s heart!
This was a true best friend who, whenever and whatever, would have your back!
“Look at you. It’s their business to say or do what they like. Could we stop them? Besides, Ning Shaoqing doesn’t have sisters.”
Junzhu Susu pissed off seeing Mo Qianxue could still laugh! She reached out and gave a pinch at Mo Qianxue’s waist and still kept lecturing her.
“You can still laugh? It’s true that Ning Shaoqing doesn’t have a sister, but don’t you fear that he might have a bunch of cousins? Just take this one for example, probably one day she would greet you as his concubine!”
The pinch was hurtful, and Mo Qianxue covered her waist to avoid it and hearing Junzhu Susu’s words, she laughed again.
“I trust Ning Shaoqing! He won’t!”
“How come? It’s normal for men to have a few concubines, especially a man with an identity like Ning Shaoqing. I’m afraid he’ll have dozens of concubines!”
Junzhu Susu’s words weren’t fake, because the men were indeed as she described! It couldn’t be more normal for men to have concubines!
On the contrary, a monogamist man would be a joke! A sign of fearing his wife! And the wife wouldn’t benefit from it at all.
This made Mo Qianxue a little sad, not for herself, but for the wives who must bear with their own sadness and seek concubines for their husbands.
“Even if every man is like that, I trust Ning Shaoqing. He just won’t!”
If one day, he took a concubine or had another woman, however Mo Qianxue loved him and was willing to do anything for him, she would choose to leave!
Her love was also dignified.
Susu wanted to say more stopped seeing Mo Qianxue’s look of firm confidence in Ning Shaoqing.
Of course she also desired a man who loved her exclusively and whom she could spend the rest of her life with. But, was it possible?
Mo Qianxue didn’t mind what was happening at all or what the woman was saying to her girl servant. She just took everything as a drama. Yet, Chuyi and Shiwu couldn’t bear with the women daring to provoke their lady like this!
What their lady was? The dignified lady of the Founder Mansion, the future madam of the Ning family. How could a Ning cousin and a servant girl dare to lecture their lady?
Shiwu was an impulsive girl and immediately wanted to draw out the sword and beat them up. It would be best if she could cut them into pieces so that the anger could be vented!
But she was about to dash out at Yuwen Hanlei, Mo Qianxue turned around stopped her with the light calm eyes.
“Lady! They went too far!”
With a while’s thinking, Mo Qianxue smiled and nodded, “Yes, they did.”
Hearing that, Shiwu was more thrilled! “Then, lady, let me give them a lesson and beat the crap out of them!”
After saying it, she ran right to Yuwen Hanlei.
This time, Mo Qianxue didn’t stop her but wear a languid smile and watched Shiwu rushing over with the deep eyes.
Chuyi was equally angry, but she wasn’t as short-tempered as Shiwu and knew the propriety of things! She understood that it wouldn’t look nice to start a row, so she remained still behind Mo Qianxue!
Seeing Shiwu’s behavior and fearing she might cause a big trouble, Chuyi leaned down in a hurry, “Lady, we can’t let Shiwu do that! Now there are so many people watching. It won’t be good to make a scene.”
“That’s alright. Just let Shiwu add a different excitement to the party, so that no strange people will dare to bark at me anymore in the future!”
Mo Qianxue wasn’t a bit concerned and still watched with a smile Shiwu leaving with her sword.
Chuyi wanted to try again but on a second thought, over all these days living together, she understood that lady wasn’t a reckless trouble-maker. Now there must be a reason behind her permission to Shiwu!
Thinking of this, Chuyi shut up.
She believed in lady! Just like what lady had said, these evil women must be given a lesson or it would be too annoying, even if not irritating, to see this or that one coming to provoke!
Now with so many people, it was right to give them a lesson right here.
Without the concerns like those of Chuyi, Junzhu Susu was more straightforward!
“We should have done this long ago. I hate most those hypocritical pretentious people! Let Shiwu teach her a good lesson!”
Shiwu’s pretty face was cold, and holding a sword, she walked to the crowd, without saying anything, directly raised both of her hands and pushed away all those standing in her way.
