Originally, Gu Qingling wanted to tell the truth by herself, but she didn't expect Xi Xue to come to her door and let others see through it.
Someone looked at Xi Xue, who kept leaning forward, covered her mouth and laughed: "Mrs. Jingda, you are about to have something good happen, right?"
"Did you see it?" Mrs. Jingda was worried about how to talk to Gu Qingling and promote her son. She said with a smile, "Isn't this the eldest son of my family? He has been praised by others recently... hmm"
With a smile, he told the story about how Jing Haoran attended a party with his father and was praised by some officials. He also recited a poem that Jing Haoran supposedly wrote, which was praised as something in heaven but not on earth.
Gu Qingling had to admit that although Jing Hao was not a very good person, the poem was still done well and it sounded very charming.
No wonder he was able to deceive a lot of big men into thinking that he was a young man with both "talent and appearance".
When I recite poetry at this time, of course I am waiting to be praised.
Everyone understood this deeply and started to praise him one after another.
"Oh, this is so well done!"
"I didn't expect Mr. Jing to be so talented. Mrs. Jing, just wait and enjoy the blessings in the future. He will definitely come back with a top score than you."
"Mrs. Jingda, you are so envious. Compared with yours, my family is just a freeloader. It can do nothing but walk around and ride horses. It really makes me anxious to death."
…
Listening to so many people praising Jing Haoran, Xi Xue's eyes were particularly bright, as if she was praising herself, and her face was shining.
She couldn't help but said softly: "I didn't expect Mr. Jing to be so powerful. Even in the capital, I have never seen such a talented young man..."
There was a moment of silence in the air.
Many people stared at Xi Xue: isn't it?!
Who is this……
Unfortunately, Madam Jing didn't seem to like her. She smiled and thanked Xi Xue, then looked at Gu Qingling and mentioned Uncle Yao.
He said that Uncle Yao was also present at the time and praised him a few times.
"Really?" There was no joy on Gu Qingling's face, "I guess I can't help it, so I just said a few words for the occasion. After all, so many people have praised me. If he didn't say a few words, he would be a bit out of place.
"
Mrs. Jingda: "..."
What's going on with Mrs. Yao?
Do you look down on their Jing family?
She has praised her son so much. If Mrs. Yao still doesn't like her, is she trying to match her granddaughter with a mortal music star?
As soon as Xi Xue heard this, she stood up for the Jing family before Mrs. Jing could say anything: "Old Mrs. Yao, my daughter calls you "Old Mrs." to respect you, but can you please respect others.
Mr. Jing has not offended you, but you are going too far by saying this to me, right?"
Gu Qingling stared at her coldly: "I said Mr. Jing, what does it have to do with you? If you are so anxious, you can't be your sweetheart, right?"
Xi Xue didn't expect that someone would tell her the truth so soon, and she was both happy and worried. Naturally, she was happy because the Jing family and Mrs. Dong knew her intentions, but worried because she was still not able to please the Jing family and was exposed so early.
You will end up with "no self-respect".
With a pale face, she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Yao, and eagerly defended herself to Gu Qingling: "Old Mrs. Yao, you...how can you destroy someone's innocence like this? When did the little girl say...that kind of thing?
Really? My daughter just saw Mrs. Yao casually slandering a young man with both talents and virtues. She felt sorry for such a person and wanted to say some fair words."
In just a few words, he created an image of himself as "selfless" and daring to tell the truth.
"Really? Are your 'fair words' just used for nothing, confusing right and wrong, and throwing dirty water on my granddaughter in front of so many people?"
"Who...who slandered your granddaughter? Don't talk nonsense." Xi Xue's heart froze, and she suddenly realized that she had said bad things about Yao Anxin before.
But isn't what she said true?
She didn't say what Yao Anxin did. She only said that if Yao Anxin hadn't done anything, none of the nineteen princes would "bully", so why would they only bully Yao Anxin?
There must be something wrong here.
"What I said is all the truth. What I said is what I saw and heard. What I said is obviously..." Xi Xue slightly changed what she said that day and said it more tactfully.
Gu Qingling sneered: "The adulterer sees adultery and the wise sees wisdom. I have seen it today. Only what certain people think in their hearts will determine what they see and what they think."
Xi Xue's face turned pale.
"But it's no wonder. Miss Xi wanted to marry Mr. Jing. She didn't know where she found out about the Jing family's intention to marry my family, so she jumped out impatiently and talked about Sister Xin everywhere.
Bad words..." Gu Qingling said loudly, but who told you that my family is going to marry the Jing family? My sister Xin will return to the capital in a few days and will not stay in Jinling at all. Do you think she is like you?
, were they also driven out of the capital?"
"You're talking nonsense. I wasn't kicked out of the capital. I came to see my aunt..." Xi Xue choked stubbornly, fearing that the Jing family would take notice and not dare to look at the Jing family's faces.
She hates Mrs. Yao so much now that she clearly knows that she is a girl and has a thin face, yet he makes things difficult for her like this.
And that damn Mrs. Dong, who received so much money from her father and saw that she was being embarrassed, didn’t know how to speak up for her. It’s really...
It's too much!
For a moment, it felt like the whole world was against her.
Gu Qingling: "Really? My granddaughter will be able to return to the capital in a few days. Can you? Not to mention a few years, but within this year, will you be able to go back? Do you have a choice?"
As Gu Qingling asked questions one by one, Xi Xue's face became paler and paler, almost transparent.
She felt that everything she wanted to hide had been revealed, and the embarrassing side that she didn't want others to see was exposed.
In fact, Xi Xue thought too much.
As for her background, she had been well-informed when she entered the realm of Jinling, otherwise the Jing family would not have looked down upon her so much.
The Jing family is not a fool. If they don't marry the daughter of the capital, why do they have to focus on someone who doesn't like their Jing family?
It's not that there is no better choice, I can only keep an eye on Yao Anxin.
Xi Xue thought that she was very important and that since she was from the capital, people in Jinling should look up to her.
What happened to the Yao family?
What happened to Mrs. Yao?
Furthermore, if a super first-class old lady can sneak into Jinling and live in a hut, then she is incompetent. Seeing her as a wealthy lady from the capital, she should be supported like the Dong family.
Therefore, even if she knew Gu Qingling's identity, she "stepped on" Yao Anxin without any hesitation.
Therefore, a few days later, the Yao family suddenly invited ladies and ladies from various families in Jinling to a gathering. She was not afraid at all and went directly to the door.
She is "fearless", and in a "small place" like Jinling, everyone has to be polite to her.
It's just that she ignored that the reason why the Dong family supported her was not only to receive money from her father, but also because the Dong family had requests from the Xi family.
However, the Yao family is different. Although Gu Qingling and others have only been in Jinling for a few years, their arrival has brought about earth-shaking changes in Jinling. Almost all the Jinling families have established cooperative relationships with the Yao family and live in the presence of the Yao family.
In addition, Gu Qingling knew her "confidence", so how could she let a little girl "step on" her head?
She didn't play any conspiracy, she just set up a "positive situation" openly and openly to see if Xi Xue was smart enough to fall into the trap herself.
