"You..." The Pri Minister's Wife was trembling with anger, and suddenly stood up, rushing forward to give Mrs. Li a slap!
Hongji also stood up at this mont, blocking these people and defending his wife!
"Move aside..." The Pri Minister's Wife didn't dare to hit a man, so she could only rebuke sternly!
"Pri Minister's Wife, why do you persistently force us? We are ordinary people, that's true, but we won't just let you hit or insult us!" Hongji stood in front of Madam, and since the Pri Minister's Wife couldn't hit him, she could only curse like a shrew!
Hongji's words were sharp, making the Pri Minister's Wife's face turn livid with anger. She had brought quite a few maids and old won, who stepped forward trying to seize Mrs. Li.
Hongji stood like a pillar there, and although he didn't have outstanding martial skills, he managed to fend off so of the maids and old won's shoves, but these so-called won, besides shoving, also knew how to scratch, pull hair, or scratch faces!
In fighting with won, Hongji was certainly at a disadvantage!
These maids and old won dared to get close, but he couldn't let them get close!
Seeing the Old Master at a disadvantage, the maids next to Mrs. Li, as well as the maids and old won in the courtyard, of course rushed over to help!
These maids and old won were not like those beside the Pri Minister's Wife, who only had brute force. Many of them had either learned martial skills from the husband's family or had studied martial arts since childhood, and the difference in skill beca apparent quickly.
These people protected the Old Master and Madam, making the people around the Pri Minister's Wife, who were so arrogant and domineering, now utterly defeated!
"You all..." The Pri Minister's Wife, having suffered another setback from her subordinates, couldn't do anything against this couple. She was so furious earlier that she forgot this was the General Mansion. After all, they were military generals, and how could the family mbers of civil officials be as fierce and violent as the maids and old won around a military general?
Feeling dizzy and lightheaded from anger, a maid beside her promptly supported her, preventing her from fainting!
The maid busily attended to her, applying oil and pinching her philtrum, until the Pri Minister's Wife finally regained her breath.
At this point, her energy was not as good as before, and with a pale face, she glared at Hongji and his wife. Today's attempt to pick a fight had ended with her own anger. It was truly an inauspicious start, and perhaps she was just getting old, lacking the vigor to argue with this couple!
She gave a glance, and the maid beside her, along with the old won, helped her, while a maid had already brought the sedan chair waiting at the door.
They ca in a hurry and left in a hurry!
ng Zhaojun kept waiting, only to hear from the guard that the young ladies were busy and that Madam and the Old Master were entertaining guests!
She was unwilling to leave and could only keep waiting. They didn't keep standing at the door in the cold wind but returned to the carriage, waiting for a chance!
The gatekeepers hadn't left yet, and those watching the fun were not afraid of making a fuss!
A crowd gathered in layers at the entrance, and not far from the outskirts of the crowd, small vendors were yelling incessantly, selling food and various trinkets!
So people couldn't wait any longer and had started to disperse from the crowd watching at the door!
ng Zhaojun waited and waited, and after a quarter of an hour, a few people carried out a sedan chair. People saw that it was the Pri Minister's Wife with her entourage, and coming out with them were Hongji and his wife!
The Pri Minister's Wife got off the sedan chair, directly had soone help her onto the carriage, without saying a word to the Ye family!
Hongji and his wife, along with the maids and old won, silently saw them off, receiving only the Pri Minister's Wife's cold looks!
After the Pri Minister's Wife and her people left, there was no more excitent to watch. Observant people noticed that she gained no advantage upon entering the territory of others!
ng Zhaojun, seeing this situation, had an idea and was about to seek counsel from the Pri Minister's Wife. Before she could reach her, they were already being escorted away, and those escorting them didn't let anyone approach!
"Pri Minister's Wife!"
ng Zhaojun's voice received no response, only a stern look from the escort, thinking she intended to cause trouble, as a noble like the Pri Minister's Wife was not soone just any woman could see!
ng Zhaojun... had no choice but to watch helplessly as they left!
After a brief pause, the Ye family couple and their entourage entered the door, closing it behind them!
ng Zhaojun...
With nothing exciting left to see here, so people started to leave, and ng Zhaojun stood at a distance, receiving many looks from others!
"ng Zhaojun, aren't you leaving with us? You said you knew people, but you can't even get in the door! Hahaha, so you used to know farr girls in the countryside!"
ng Zhaojun, about to return to her carriage with her maid, reached a carriage where a young girl's voice ca from inside, sounding sowhat familiar!
Although the girl's voice wasn't particularly loud, those around the nearby carriages and vendors heard it!
ng Zhaojun found the voice sowhat familiar, realizing she was being targeted. Her strategy had failed today; yet again she was mocked. Now, being ridiculed, she glanced at the carriage, seeing the curtain lifted, revealing a face she detested!
After returning to the Capital City with her family, although her father was an official, he ca from a poor family. Her mother married him and later relied on her side's connections and dowry to buy a small house!
ng Zhaojun had a bold personality, and her mother was also proud, often taking her to attend various ladies' gatherings!
Appearing at such gatherings frequently, spending a considerable amount on exquisite jewelry and clothing, they barely managed!
Although ng Zhaojun and her mother mingled among the wives of powerful officials, they might be given so face because of Mrs. ng's family background!
But so young ladies weren't so friendly!
For example, this Miss mocking ng Zhaojun now, often seen at various banquets. Though ng Zhaojun wasn't the most outstanding, her sweet talking and ability to stir things made her liked by so and disliked by others. This Miss in front of her had once taken a fancy to a young gentleman, and ng Zhaojun, despite her young age, flirted with him!
Later, this Miss used her family's connections to get engaged to that man!
Although ng Zhaojun didn't often interact with her fiancé inappropriately, she would sotis exhibit attention-seeking actions at banquets, getting praised by n who loved poetry!
Additionally, her skills in Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting earned her accolades!
This Miss didn't think she was inferior and had a much stronger family background compared to ng Zhaojun. She harbored resentnt because during a performance, a poem recited by ng Zhaojun was praised by both her fiancé and his elder brother!
ng Zhaojun beca known as a talented woman, overshadowing her, harboring hidden hatred. Seeing ng Zhaojun showing off today gave her the perfect opportunity for ridicule!
