Chapter 257 Reputation, they don’t care!
Tang Xuchi's wife He, who was already a little anxious in the crowd, turned even paler when she heard this. Fortunately, the nanny she sent out to look for someone came back in a hurry at this moment and whispered in her ear.
"Niece Su Yao, you can't talk nonsense at this time!"
Tang Xuchi, who had initially suggested that everyone help find Mu Jiaojiao, felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, fearing that his good-for-nothing daughter would cause trouble again.
He could see that there was something strange about today's events. He didn't know who the Prince Jin and his wife were plotting against, after all, Prince Jiang was involved.
So he subconsciously stood up and refuted, hoping that his silly daughter would not be involved in this matter. Who knows what tricks are waiting for her later.
"Uncle Tang, my niece is not talking nonsense, everything she said is true.
It's well known that my niece has always been at odds with her, Tang Qianqian. She naturally paid a bit more attention to her at the banquet. Whenever she left, Aunt He would frantically send people to look for her, and my niece saw it all."
When Su Yao heard Tang Xuchi's harsh questioning, there was no fear on her face. She confidently recounted all the actions of Tang Qianqian and her daughter during the banquet.
When Tang Xuchi heard Su Yao say this, he became even more furious. This Su Yao really had no shame at all. Not only did she openly say that she had had an affair with her own daughter, she also brazenly said that she had been monitoring every move of her wife and daughter during the banquet. It was simply disgraceful.
"you……"
Seeing this, Tang Xuchi's wife, He Qingyu, was helped out from the crowd by the nanny who had been sent out to inquire about Tang Qianqian. She walked to Tang Xuchi and gently pulled his sleeve, stopping him from saying anything else.
Then he looked at Su Yao, who smiled gracefully and in a gentle tone. Her every move revealed the bearing and demeanor of a mistress of a mansion.
"Thank you, niece Su Yao, for your concern for my daughter. My daughter Qianqian suddenly felt unwell today and has now returned to the Shangshu Mansion. There is no such thing as missing. I hope niece Su Yao will stop making irresponsible remarks to avoid ruining my daughter's reputation."
When Su Yao heard this, she showed an expression of disbelief on her face, but after a moment she understood. She naturally figured it out. She must have thought that Tang Qianqian was not in Prince Jin's Mansion. As for where she went afterwards, the Minister of Personnel's Mansion would definitely insist that Tang Qianqian had returned home.
Oh! Tang Qianqian is really lucky!
"Since Aunt He has said so, then Tang Qianqian should return home because she is not feeling well!"
Su Yao looked arrogant, and then seemed to be fed up with He's whitewashing. Her eyes moved, as if kindly reminding him:
"But Aunt He, I hope Miss Tang isn't feeling well today. Otherwise, if she gets into trouble in Prince Jin's Mansion or some other shady place, it will be the people in the Minister of Personnel's Mansion who will be in trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuchi and He Shi felt annoyed. This Su Yao was too arrogant. She was originally a junior, yet she spoke to her elders in such a sweet and flattering manner!
The old fox Su Baiqian hasn't attended court for a long time, and the once glorious Concubine Su has even been demoted to a concubine. And this Su Yao is still so ignorant!
"Niece Su, you're joking. I've been smart and polite since I was little, but I don't know what an indecent place is. But you mentioned this filthy place right away. I wonder how Niece Su's elders taught her?
Didn't Niece Su know how to be cautious in her words and actions in such a solemn occasion, let alone respect the order of seniority and courtesy? "
A cold light flashed in He Qingyu's eyes, but his face still maintained a smile, and the words he spoke became increasingly aggressive.
At this moment, Su Yao's mother, Meng Yaling, hurriedly came in supported by her maid. She had drunk some fruit wine at the banquet and felt a little dizzy, so she went for a walk in the garden of Prince Jin's Mansion. Later, she heard that something had happened in Prince Jin's Mansion, and she also heard that her daughter had a dispute with the mistress of the Minister of Personnel's Mansion, so she rushed over anxiously.
As soon as she arrived, she heard that the shameless He was using her status as an elder to suppress her precious daughter and even slandered her daughter for being poorly taught.
"Sister He, what are you talking about? Sister He is Yao'er's elder, shouldn't you set a good example and care for the younger ones? Instead of acting like an elder and not allowing the younger ones to speak the truth, you're just taking advantage of your seniority!"
"All right!"
When He heard Meng Yaling being so sharp-tongued and even calling her old, she became furious and wanted to retort immediately, but was interrupted by Tang Xuchi. He really didn't want to listen to a few women arguing and lose face in front of Prince Jin and Princess Jin.
Although Su Yao's words were harsh, she was right. His daughter was a troublesome person. He should go back home to see his rebellious daughter.
"Your Highness, Princess, my daughter is unwell, and I am deeply worried. I will take my leave today. I am sorry for disturbing your wedding. I will come back another day to apologize!"
Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao were enjoying the melons at the side. Now it seemed that the old fox Tang Xuchi didn't want to be laughed at and stopped them. Mu Jiaojiao's eyes showed obvious regret.
"Minister Tang, you are too serious. Minister Tang loves his daughter dearly, so why would he apologize?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin spoke gently, indicating that Tang Xuchi didn't need to be so polite, and seemed not to care about his previous behavior of pressing forward and trying to make a fool of the Prince Jin's Mansion.
Tang Xuchi was surprised when he heard Jiang Jin's words. Jiang Jin just let him go like that? This was not Prince Jin's style!
However, he did not show it on his face. Instead, after apologizing to Jiang Jin again, he led He away in a hurry, as if he was really worried about his daughter's health.
Su Yao was also pulled into the crowd by her mother, who seemed to be blaming her for interfering in today's affairs, fearing that her daughter would cause trouble for no reason.
"Everyone, go back and continue drinking!"
Jiang Jin sat in a wheelchair, looking at the people present, and again asked everyone to go back to the front yard to continue drinking, interrupting everyone's thoughts on continuing to explore today's affairs.
Jiang Jin naturally knew that after such a commotion today, Yudu would be full of rumors tomorrow, and many people would laugh at the Prince Jin's Mansion again.
However, although his reputation was a hindrance, he and his wife were the biggest victims of the Jin Palace, weren't they? He didn't care about reputation, and his wife didn't care either!
After a while, the guests gradually dispersed, and the front yard banquet hall was filled with laughter and joy again. The lights were bright and congratulations were heard continuously.
After all this commotion, Jiang Jin didn't have the energy to deal with those people anymore. He held Mu Jiaojiao's hand and let Wushuang push his wheelchair back to Lingyunxuan.
