When Xi Lanting came in, there was a loud roar of gongs and drums downstairs.
He walked leisurely to the sound of such drums.
Looking across everyone's faces, Xi Lanting walked straight to Yun Qiao.
He lowered his head and smiled at Yun Qiao, and sat down on the soft chair beside her.
When he looked at Xi Wenjie again, his eyes were cold.
"What was the fuss about just now?" Xi Lanting said in a casual tone, lifting up the hem of his gown and crossing his legs.
He was dressed thicker than everyone else, but he didn't sweat at all. Everyone was much hotter and had a flushed face, but he was still cold and fair-skinned.
He looked at Xi Wenjie with eyes like ice arrows.
"Uncle Qi, they are shameless and date in private..." Xi Wenjie actually stuttered a little, "Jiang Yanjin..."
"The three of them came in public, so why did they become shameless and meet in private? They are your slaves, and you let you break into their private room and yell at them?" Xi Lanting interrupted before she could finish.
Got her.
He called to the door, "Xi Rong."
Xi Rong lowered his head and came in.
"Send Miss Ten back to the Governor's Mansion, saying she was drunk and causing a scene in the theater. Ask my sister-in-law if she wants me to help discipline my niece!" Xi Lanting said.
Xi Wenjie's eyes were red: "Uncle Qi, you are going too far!"
"If you talk nonsense again, I will tell your father what happened today." Xi Lanting's quiet eyes fell on her face, with a sense of suffocation.
Xi Wenjie bit her lower lip.
When she was about to leave, Xi Lanting stopped her again: "Come back."
Xi Wenjie didn't dare to disobey and was very timid in front of her seventh uncle.
"Apologise to Yun Qiao." Xi Lanting said, "If I hear you gossiping about Yun Qiao again in the future, don't blame Uncle Qi for being unkind."
Xi Wenjie bit her lip.
The Jiang siblings held their breaths.
For some reason, they all felt that Xi Lanting was imposing. His direct gaze seemed to make people tremble in their hearts.
Make people obey!
Xi Wenjie felt the same way. She didn't even know where the fear came from, she was just scared.
Therefore, she said to Yun Qiao respectfully: "I'm sorry, Miss Yun, I shouldn't have said that to you."
Yun Qiao just nodded lightly.
Xi Wenjie followed Xi Rong and left the private room, feeling dissatisfied after realizing it.
Why should she apologize?
Xi Rong forcibly sent her home, although her classmates and friends were still playing next door.
The governor's wife was a little surprised when she heard that Xi Rong had sent her daughter back.
When Xi Wenjie saw the governor's wife, she burst into tears and threw herself into her mother's arms: "Mom!"
"What's going on?" The governor's wife couldn't help but be surprised, "Stop crying."
Before she asked Xi Rong or comforted Xi Wenjie, the adjutant reported that Mr. Jiang was here.
Xi Wenjie's face showed disgust.
"Invite him in," said the governor's wife, and then asked Xi Rong, "What's going on?"
"Young Master Jiang will explain to you," Xi Rong said, silently standing aside.
Jiang Yanjin strode in.
He said hello to the governor's wife, then without looking at Xi Wenjie, he went straight to the point and explained everything about today in detail.
"...I want to ask my parents, madam, have I become a slave of the Xi family before the marriage is finalized? I went out with my sister and friends to listen to the show openly, but I was misunderstood that we were hooking up in private.
This not only humiliates us, but also insults the Governor's Office. I remember that the Governor also advocates freedom and does not allow the buying and selling of people." Jiang Yanjin looked serious.
The Governor’s wife: “…”
She was angry with her daughter for being willful and angry with Jiang Yanjin for being overbearing, so she actually asked her directly.
However, she couldn't have an attack yet, so she just comforted him: "Why bother alarming the parents about such a trivial matter? Yan Jin, Wenjie is just jealous."
She keeps things simple and small.
"I have been in Yancheng for several months, and I have only met Miss Ten twice. Each time I was in a hurry, and Miss Ten never even looked at me.
Madam, you also asked me not to mind, and said that the marriage has not yet been decided, and Miss Ten is not arrogant and rude because she regards me as her fiancé. If so, why do you say she is jealous?
In my opinion, Miss Ten is either uneducated and domineering, or she sincerely looks down on me and Mr. Jiang. I believe you have taught your daughter well.
In this case, it is Mrs. Jiang and I who have made your mother and daughter dissatisfied. The matter has not yet been decided, and Madam and Miss Ten are not satisfied. Why not tell them earlier? It will waste time for both families."
Jiang Yanjin kept a straight face and kept talking, leaving the governor's wife speechless with every question.
