Mrs. Ji was so angry that her face turned red. She was obviously a person with the best temper and was the most versatile. However, people had already plotted against her and wanted to step on her son to have an affair with the county lady without a matchmaker. At the same time, she had to pretend that she was thinking about the Ji family. Mrs. Ji almost vomited.
There really are such shameless people in this world!
The Ji family wanted to marry a daughter, and they wanted to do it in a serious manner. It was impossible for them to use those unorthodox methods. Unless the Ji family was crazy, otherwise, doing so would not benefit the reputation of the Ji family and Su Yao at all, but would harm the Ji family instead.
Mrs. Yang is great. She really helps others in need. She is such a kind person!
Mrs. Ji was in a bad mood and there was no reason for her to hold it in any longer, especially now that she saw Su Yao, she felt more at ease. She saw that Mrs. Yang's face changed drastically, as if she had seen a ghost, and she was even more certain that this matter must be related to Mrs. Yang.
Since they had stepped right on her face, Madam Ji was no pushover. She sneered coldly, "What's wrong, Madam? The county lady isn't in there. Madam seems disappointed?"
At this moment, Madam Yang was extremely shocked.
How could it be? She had arranged everything. The Yang family had deep roots in this place. She had already bribed several key figures with both soft and hard tactics. Su Yao should have been in the house at this time. Why wasn't he there? !
What does that Mrs. Cao eat
Madam Fang also looked somewhat surprised and doubtful, but she could not help but retort with such undisguised sarcasm from Madam Ji: "What's the disappointment? We are just here to watch the excitement. If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not. Why is Madam Ji so excited? Besides, even if it is not the county lady, there must be other girls in there. Young Master Ji is in really good health. He was injured the day before yesterday. He can't rest for a while!"
These words were even more rude and full of malice. Mrs. Ji could no longer tolerate it, but she was worried that her son was really being plotted against. Although it was not Su Yao, and she didn't know what went wrong, it might be another girl. She didn't want to be too decisive and could only snort coldly.
At this moment, Master Ji was supported by someone and came in from outside. Seeing so many people in the yard, he called out to his mother anxiously and asked with concern: "Mom, I heard that my yard was on fire. How did it catch fire out of nowhere? Is anyone injured? Is there any damage?"
The embarrassment on Mrs. Ji's face disappeared at this moment. She felt like she had received a surprise from heaven. Her son was not inside!
She changed her anger into joy and hurriedly shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay. It's dry and the firewood piled under the porch caught fire. It has been put out long ago."
This is great. As soon as Young Master Ji appeared, Mrs. Yang's face became so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip.
Mrs. Fang was also confused, as if she had eaten a fly.
Both of them were not in the room!
Who is in that room?!
Before Madam Yang and Madam Fang could say anything, Madam Liao had already cleared her throat meaningfully and asked Young Master Ji, "Young Master is not in the room?"
A woman who could be the wife of a governor must be smart. How could Mrs. Liao not see the aggressiveness of Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Fang at the beginning and their subsequent misconduct? She knew that this matter was related to Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Fang. Now looking at the looks of Master Ji and Su Yao, the two of them must have known that someone had set a trap and avoided it.
She stepped forward to ask, which would help to resolve everyone's doubts and also help Su Yao and Young Master Ji to solve the matter smoothly.
Su Yao smiled and glanced at Mrs. Liao.
Young Master Ji also said politely, "I suddenly felt an unbearable pain in my arm last night, so I asked someone to call Doctor Shen, but he was not available. He said he would come to treat me in the second half of the night. I couldn't wait, so I went straight to Doctor Shen's yard to wait, and later I just slept in Doctor Shen's yard."
So that's how it is. The other ladies suddenly understood.
Madam Yang's face turned pale. She looked at Su Yao coldly and asked sarcastically, "What about the county lady? I heard that she also disappeared overnight. The maid in your room went to the Ji family to report it anxiously. You didn't go to Doctor Shen's yard, did you?"
The resentment on her face was undisguised.
Su Yao met her eyes coldly, without any expression, and said directly: "Niuniu was not feeling well last night. Madam Yuan and I are familiar with each other, and I saw that she was too busy to handle it alone, so I went to help. The reason why Doctor Shen was not available before was because he was treating a child in Madam Yuan's yard. Why, Madam, it seems that you are very interested in my whereabouts?"
Both of them had unhappy expressions. Even the dumbest person could see the sparks flying between them. For a moment, everyone had different thoughts.
Madam Yang was so angry that she had no place to vent. She was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys ached. At this moment, the truth was revealed. There was no point in pretending to be harmonious. She simply smiled and said, "How can I do that? The county lady is an honored guest after all. Since you came to Kunming, you have been shining. No matter where you go, people can't take their eyes off you. So, how can we pay more attention to you?"
"Really?" Su Yao didn't comment, and said calmly, "I thought that Madam hated me so much that she made such an incredible guess that Young Master Ji and I were in the same room."
Everyone in the world pays attention to being tactful, especially when nobles speak to each other, they always beat around the bush and make sure even the dirtiest words are said in the most decent way.
However, Su Yao did not have this concern.
She said whatever she had to say.
She did not give Madam Yang any face at all, and directly accused Madam Yang of having bad intentions and slandered her relationship with Young Master Ji.
Mrs. Liao had already experienced Su Yao's power, but when she heard Su Yao speak like this, a trace of admiration still flashed across her eyes. He had such a sharp tongue, without a word of nonsense, and would not suffer any grievance.
Mrs. Ji also felt proud. She snorted and laughed at the side: "Yes, Madam Yang's impatient look just now really made me wonder what to say. If you are really joking, it's too much. Our family doesn't care. You can joke as much as you want. But the county princess is a daughter, and the master is not here. You and Madam Fang are targeting her. People who understand will say that you are really curious about where the county princess has gone. People who don't understand will really think that you are a prophet and have confirmed that the county princess is really inside."
