There is a circle of pavilions surrounding Chunjiang Pond, and a huge garden on the west side where you can go boating. The garden is full of chrysanthemums, making it the best place to appreciate chrysanthemums in autumn.

Pavilion after pavilion was filled with people.

On weekdays, people can sit here and appreciate the chrysanthemums. If a poetry tea party is to be held, this place will be cordoned off in advance and fruits, snacks, etc. will be prepared.

After the common people knew about it, they would not come near it. After all, those who could occupy such a large area were all officials and had servants and guards, and no one wanted to bring bad luck upon themselves.

Since we are going to appreciate chrysanthemums, of course we have to go to the garden to see the chrysanthemums first, and then we can chat in the pavilion, or play some games such as ball or squash, or go boating, or stroll around the pond.

Jiang's father had been an official for many years and naturally had many friends in the court. The original owner, Jiang Yuan, was timid and not favored by his father. He had no one to support him when he went out, so he did not like to go out.

But Jiang Wan is the apple of Jiang's father's eye. When she was still a concubine's daughter, she already had many close friends. Now that she has become the eldest daughter, it is natural that she enjoys the glory.

Qu Ying and Jiang Yuan saw chrysanthemums of various colors in clusters and petals in the garden. In the past, chrysanthemums were used to worship ancestors, but now they are blooming in clusters, golden and beautiful.

There is also a small patch of green chrysanthemums, which is very rare. Passersby who see it can't help but stop and admire it.

When they were halfway there, the eldest princess and several ladies came over from the other side and asked Qu Ying to come over to greet them. They walked around this area and went to the back.

Qu Ying asked Jiang Yuan to wait for her there and she would be back soon.

They happened to stop at the green chrysanthemums, and Jiang Yuan and several maids stood there admiring the chrysanthemums.

There were sounds of laughter coming from not far away, and the sound gradually got closer. Soon, Jiang Wan, along with several young ladies, followed by a group of maids, turned around from the other side.

At a glance, he saw Jiang Yuan standing there.

The smile on Jiang Wan's face suddenly disappeared, and she stared at Jiang Yuan fiercely.

She was furious. She walked up to Jiang Yuan in two or three steps and slapped him in the face.

Pa, a crisp slapping sound was heard, and there was silence all around.

After successfully slapping Jiang Yuan in front of so many people, Jiang Wan said she felt very comfortable.

Looking at the smug person in front of her, Jiang Yuan didn't give her time to show off and slapped her back with a harder, louder and more decisive slap than the one she had just given.

During this period, she has been lifting dumbbells, barbells, doing pull-ups and push-ups all day long. Her strength is beyond that of ordinary girls and she has even developed calluses on her hands.

The slap was so strong that Jiang Wan's face suddenly became red and swollen. She covered her face and stared at Jiang Yuan in disbelief, shouting, "How dare you hit me?"

"Pa!" As the voice fell, another crisp slap sounded.

Jiang Yuan looked expressionlessly at the man in front of him whose cheeks were red and swollen, and who looked incredulous and extremely angry.

"You, you're still fighting?"

"Pah!" Another slap.

Jiang Wan took a step back, trying to distance herself from him. She pointed at Jiang Yuan, her hands shaking with anger, and the red five-finger marks on her face were swollen. "Jiang Yuan, you're looking for death, ah..."

"Pa!" Another slap. Originally, Jiang Yuan didn't plan to slap her again, but after she slapped her three times, she felt uncomfortable. No, she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart. She had to make it symmetrical so that she would feel comfortable.

Jiang Yuan didn't say a word, but slapped her four times, leaving all the ladies present stunned.

After slapping Jiang Wan four times, he looked at her in disbelief, tears in his eyes, still looking vicious, and raised his hand again.

Jiang Wan screamed, and squatted down with her hands covering her cheeks in fear, tears streaming down her face.

Jiang Yuan sneered, squatted down, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said coldly, "Now you know whether I dare or not?" After saying that, he raised his eyebrows provocatively.

The people standing around watched this battle between sisters.

At first, I thought the second young lady of the Jiang family was weak and could be bullied. She was slapped in public and felt very embarrassed. Unexpectedly, she slapped back four times. Her expression, demeanor, and tone of voice were all so arrogant.

Isn't it said that Lord Jiang's second daughter is weak and incompetent? Is this called weak and incompetent?

On the way back, Qu Ying heard the sound of slapping. Thinking that Jiang Yuan was being bullied, she ran over quickly, but only caught the last slap. When Jiang Yuan raised his hand, Jiang Wan was so scared that she squatted down and cried. She didn't see what happened earlier.

After returning home, Zhishu told her that she didn't see the whole process, which made her feel very aggrieved.

"What's wrong?" Qu Ying walked up to Jiang Yuan and saw her red face. She was furious and asked, "Who hit you?"

After yelling, he looked down at Jiang Wan who was squatting on the ground crying, pointed at her and asked, "Did she hit you?"

Jiang Yuan put away his arrogance just now, nodded aggrievedly, and said in a crying voice, "I just met the elder sister, and for some reason, the elder sister rushed up to me and slapped me without saying a word.

I don’t know how I offended the elder sister, but she hit me in front of so many people without telling me the reason.”

Everyone was stunned, including Jiang Wan, who was squatting on the ground crying. She raised her head and stared at Jiang Yuan blankly. No, she was not like this just now.

Qu Ying stepped forward, blocking Jiang Yuan behind him, and asked the stunned Jiang Wan, "Is what she said the truth?"

Jiang Wan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Qu Ying looked at the others, and the look in her eyes meant, is she right?

The girls behind Jiang Wan all recognized Qu Ying and wanted to say that this was not the case, but it seemed that this was the case.

It was indeed Jiang Wan who rushed up and slapped the other person in the face. She did slap him without saying anything.

But, but the story is not just like this, there is more to it, there is a follow-up, Jiang Yuan didn’t suffer any loss at all.

After being slapped once, she slapped back four times. Why doesn't she say anything about this?

Qu Ying didn't care about that. He confirmed that Jiang Yuan's words were true and said coldly, "Okay, Lord Jiang has good family education. This concubine's daughter has just become a legitimate daughter, and she dares to bully the legitimate daughter.

It seems that the rumors outside are true. Lord Jiang favors his concubine and ignores his wife. He treats his first wife and legitimate children harshly. I wonder how this Minister of Rites deserves the word "Rites".

After saying that, Qu Ying turned around and took Jiang Yuan's hand, "Let's go, someone will seek justice for you. I know everyone here, don't worry."

This was a very thoughtful statement. Not only did it tell those people that Jiang Yuan was now Qu Ying's person, it also told them that she had taken note of them. If any wrong rumors got out, none of them would be able to escape.

Looking at Jiang Yuan's departing back, Jiang Wan burst into tears, her cheeks burning with pain. She couldn't say what had happened. She had never suffered such an injustice in her life, and she couldn't express her pain in words.

I wanted to take advantage of this chrysanthemum viewing banquet to show off in front of the ladies of various families and meet the Prince of Jin, but in the end I could only leave secretly in disgrace.

Anyone who saw her face would have to ask her a question, but the key was that she couldn't tell the truth, so she could only hide.
