Upon seeing this, Madam Linglong hurried forward and pulled Xia Wan'er away, "Stop making trouble, the old lady is watching over there."
Xia Wan'er looked over and saw that Miss Chen's grandmother, Old Lady Chen, was looking at her with an unhappy expression. She had just been talking to the old lady, Concubine Cui, and when they heard the noise, they both looked over here.
Just then, I heard Xia Wan'er ordering people to kick out Miss Chen.
"Mother, you don't know how much she said about me." Xia Wan'er said aggrievedly.
Chen Linglong also heard what Miss Chen said. She lowered her voice and said, "Today's business is urgent. We can't afford to offend the Chen family."
The Chen family was born with military background, and Old Lady Chen was the first female military general in this dynasty. She had led the army to fight and defeated the Northern Desert. It was under her command that Prince An went on his first expedition.
The Chen family has an almost unshakable position in the capital, because she was also granted the title of Grand Lady by the Empress Dowager herself.
Miss Chen Liuliu from the Chen family is the youngest granddaughter of the old lady. She just turned eighteen this year and has never been married. However, she met someone from the Marquis' Mansion and fell in love with Xiao Tuo. However, Xiao Tuo has always been unwilling to talk about this matter, so it has been left unsolved.
Normally the old lady would disdain to attend these occasions, but in the past one or two years, she would bring Chen Liuliu to all banquets, big or small, to find a husband for her.
In the old lady's words, she was so tired that her eyes were almost blind, but she said that before she died, she had to see Chen Liuliu get married.
Those young ladies from noble families who had been gossiping just now all dispersed. No one wanted to offend Chen Liuliu because they all knew her temperament. She spoke very harshly and meanly and had very little manners.
Chen Liuliu snorted, walked into the pavilion and sat in front of Zi'an.
She looked at Zi'an. Her eyes were particularly black, like two longan seeds, and her thick black eyebrows were curved. "My name is Chen Liuliu. I'm telling you, don't pay attention to what those people say. They have foul mouths."
She actually started to comfort Zi'an.
Zi'an smiled and said, "Thank you for helping me out."
"You're welcome. I've wanted to teach them a lesson for a long time." Chen Liuliu kept looking at Zi'an, as if Zi'an had found something particularly interesting and kept staring at it. Zi'an even thought that her staring was a little strange.
"Is there something on my face?" Zi'an asked her while touching her face, reminding her that it was not good to stare at others like that.
"No, I just think you are much more beautiful than before." Chen Liuliu said.
"before?"
"Yes, I have been to your residence several times and have seen you. Every time I came, I could see Xia Wan'er and those young ladies bullying you."
Zian shrugged, "I don't care what they say."
"I don't care, but when you feel uncomfortable, you have to find someone to scold." Chen Liuliu said confidently.
Zi'an laughed. She liked this straightforward and rude girl.
Chen Liuliu added, "Be careful with Xia Wan'er and Xia Fang'er. These two bitches are so vicious. I wanted to throw shit at them several times!"
Zian's eyes widened, "Are you serious?"
Wait a minute, Chen Liuliu, Miss Chen, could she be the Miss Chen that Su Qing and Murong Jie mentioned? Murong Jie asked Xiao Tuo to meet her more than once.
Xiao Tuo has a lot of opinions about her.
"Of course it's true. Don't you want to throw it away?" she asked Zi'an.
Zi'an looked at Xia Wan'er's disgusting face and said, "I kind of miss her."
"If you want to do it, do it. I'll throw it all over her some other day!" Chen Liuliu snorted.
This... Zi'an asked tentatively: "Did you have a personal grudge against her in the past?"
"Who has time to have a personal grudge against her? I don't even bother to talk to someone like that."
"Then why do you want to... hate her so much?" Hate her so much that you want to throw shit at her.
"I've been on many blind dates, and many people say that a woman should be like Xia Wan'er, gentle, respectful, frugal, well-educated and well-mannered. All the men in Beijing like her."
"So, you don't like her because of this?" Zi'an thought this idea was quite weird, but for some reason, she was very sure that she liked Chen Liuliu.
Chen Liuliu said angrily, "The problem is that she is not what everyone says she is. I have observed her several times, and she is even more rude and mean than me. Last year, I came to your old man's birthday party, and I sat with her. She farted, and she actually covered her nose and looked at me with disgust. Everyone thought it was me who farted. If Xiao Tuo's father hadn't been there that day, I would have thrown shit at her."
Zi'an thought it was very funny, but he forced himself to hold it back, "Xiao Tuo, do you know Xiao Tuo?"
"I know him, and I like him, but he doesn't like me. He said he likes girls with embroidery needles, not girls with swords." When Chen Liuliu said this, there was no sadness on her face, as if it was normal for her to like Xiao Tuo and Xiao Tuo not like her.
"Do you like Xiao Tuo? What do you like about him?" Zi'an asked. It was really nice to talk to Chen Liuliu before the big show started.
Chen Liuliu thought for a moment, "I don't know. I think he looks good, with a nice nose and nice eyes. The guys my grandmother took me to date were all ugly or much older than me. One of them even had an arm missing. But my grandmother also said that as long as a man wants me, it's fine. I can't ask for too much."
"Your grandmother..." Zi'an thought the old lady's idea was a bit strange, "How can she marry you off so easily?"
"When I was born, someone told me that if I wasn't married by the age of nineteen, I would die a violent death. I'm eighteen now, so isn't grandma going to be anxious?"
"Can you believe this?" Zi'an was both amused and confused.
"She doesn't believe anything anyone else says, but she totally believes what this person says." Chen Liuliu thought for a moment, "I believe him too."
"Who is this person?" Zi'an couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Grand Empress Dowager!" Chen Liuliu said in a low voice.
Zi'an looked at her in surprise. Chen Liuliu was only eighteen years old this year. The Empress Dowager must have staged a "forced death" incident twenty years ago and left.
Could it be that she was really on Hanshan Mountain? Did she come back after she left
They were chatting on this side, while the old lady, Concubine Cui and the old lady were chatting on the other side.
The old lady came to look for her grandson-in-law. She knew that the old lady and Concubine Cui had extensive connections, so at the beginning she leaned over to talk to them about some topics that old people should talk about. But when Xia Wan'er wanted to drive her precious granddaughter away, she began to look indifferent.
The old lady also noticed it. She specially invited her here today because the old lady and Concubine Cui are both highly respected in the capital. With them as witnesses of today's scene and if they say something "fair", then the prime minister's mansion can save some face.
Seeing that the old lady was unhappy, she was very angry and glared at Madam Linglong, signaling her to keep an eye on Xia Wan'er.
Madam Linglong was also very angry. Her daughter was being insulted by the young lady from the Chen family, but she couldn't say anything and could only swallow her anger. Now she had to look at the old lady's face, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Moreover, Yuan has not come out yet, so we don’t know how to implement this plan.
