Han Jiao didn't know Zhuo Qinlan, she frowned and said angrily: "Who are you? What does it have to do with you?"
Zhuo Qinlan turned her head and glanced at Xia Yuanqiu, who stood tallest among the crowd, and said, "My name is Zhuo Qinlan. I am Zhuo Qinya's sister and the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Han Jiao pulled her silk handkerchief to wipe away her tears and snorted coldly: "Here comes another gangster. Do you think I will be afraid of you because there are so many of you?"
Zhuo Qinlan shook her head: "Miss Han has misunderstood. My sister has always been fair. She will never favor her own family, whether she helps relatives or not. My sister just wants to persuade Miss Han. Now Prince Jing is in the front hall, and Master Ding and Master Han are both I'm keeping you company, and His Highness Prince Jing is Qin Ya's fiance, so if you make trouble like this, I'm afraid you won't get any good results."
Ding Xue said to Xia Yuanqiu: "Are you sure she is really your sister?"
Xia Yuanqiu shook his head: "I only have one younger brother and no younger sister."
Han Jiao was even more angry at Zhuo Qinlan's provocation, and immediately said angrily: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing is here, I want to show him how virtuous his fiancée is."
Han Jiao was completely irritated by Zhuo Qinlan's provocation. She raised her skirt and hurriedly ran towards the front hall.
Ding Xue stuck out her tongue and said sheepishly: "Sister Yuan Qiu, I originally planned to help you, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating."
Xia Yuanqiu shrugged, with a calm expression on his face: "It doesn't matter, you don't have to take it to heart, I know you have good intentions. It's her own fault that Han Jiao was so easily instigated by Zhuo Qinlan and suffered for a while. His mind is too simple, his actions are too impulsive, and he cannot blame others.”
Ding Xue was puzzled: "How did you know she would suffer?"
Zhu Yan's evil smile appeared in front of Xia Yuanqiu's eyes. That guy was protective of his shortcomings, very protective of his shortcomings. Han Jiao was so impulsive, and his words would definitely hurt her. How could Zhu Yan tolerate it
As Xia Yuanqiu expected, Han Jiao never came back after leaving.
Ding Xue leaned into Xia Yuanqiu's ear mysteriously: "I heard the servant at the front came to report that Han Jiao went to the front hall to make a scene and said many unpleasant things. His Highness Prince Jing was furious and ordered a punishment. Even now, she is still made to kneel on the bluestone floor outside the hall, with twenty palms and twenty blows, until she looks like a pig. She fainted from crying several times, but Prince Jing sent someone to wake her up and continue to kneel."
Xia Yuanqiu shook his head slightly, wondering if his punishment was too much. After all, this was a girl's family.
Ding Xue added: "I didn't expect His Highness Prince Jing, who usually seems informal, to compete with a young lady like Han Jiao today."
Xia Yuanqiu's eyes were slightly warm, and he smiled lightly: "He is trying to make a warning to others, to establish my authority in front of others, so that no one will despise me in the future."
Ding Xue's eyes gleamed and she said excitedly, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing is so considerate."
Xia Yuanqiu smiled and said nothing, how could she not understand Zhu Yan's heart
After this incident, no one dared to say a word without knowing the importance of it in front of Xia Yuanqiu. Even Zhuo Qinlan also extinguished his anger, not daring to offend Xia Yuanqiu at the cusp of the storm to avoid being punished by Prince Jing.
After the wedding ceremony, a group of ladies and ladies were led to Baifu Hall, where twenty banquet tables were placed, fifteen tables were placed in Baifu Hall, one for ladies of the third rank in Beijing and below, and the other five tables were placed in Baifu Hall. In the Baishan Hall near the hall, ladies and ladies with official ranks of the second and first rank were invited to sit down. Two other tables were set up in the dining hall in Madam Ding's courtyard. They were all Mrs. Hou Bo and the titled princesses and counties. The hosts were seated, and Xia Yuanqiu was also among them.
