After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 207 Dispute
"Wanchu, you're here!"
Madam Jiang led the two girls to Tang Wanchu, then she took the girl on the right and introduced her with a smile: "Wanchu, this is my cousin from the Jiang family, Xue'e, the legitimate daughter of Mr. Zhou, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue."
"Xue'e, this is Miss Wanchu, the legitimate daughter of Magistrate Tang of Wuzhou."
"Hello, Miss Zhou."
Tang Wanchu stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Sister Wanchu, you don't have to be so polite. I'm older than you, so just call me Sister Zhou."
Zhou Xue'e walked forward and took Tang Wanchu's hand with a gentle smile on her face.
Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Li, who were standing by, were slightly stunned.
Since Xue'e came to Wuzhou, her words were always sharp. The young ladies from official families in Wuzhou were not in her eyes at all. Why was she so kind to the daughter of Governor Tang today?
In terms of rank, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Revenue was of the fifth rank, which was lower than the fourth rank of the local prefect, but the officials outside the capital could not be compared with those in the capital.
Tang Wanchu was pulled by a stranger and felt a little uncomfortable, but she still called "Sister Zhou" with a smile on her face.
After introducing the two to each other, Mrs. Jiang seemed to have just noticed Lin Shuyue and He Wentong standing beside them.
"Wentong, I knew you would be by Wanchu's side. You are always inseparable from Wanchu."
Madam Jiang stretched out her hand and seemed to touch her forehead, smiling. Finally, she looked at Lin Shuyue and asked hesitantly, "Who is this girl?"
"Hello, Madam Jiang. I am Lin Shuyue."
Lin Shuyue stepped forward, bowed, and introduced herself briefly.
Jiang Li, who was pulling at the belt around her waist out of boredom, was slightly stunned when she heard the words, then looked up and stared at her with shining eyes.
Zhou Xue'e, who was holding Tang Wanchu's hand tightly, listened to her words, but looked at Lin Shuyue carefully from head to toe, then turned her head to look elsewhere, with a flash of disdain in her eyes.
Madam Jiang looked up and down at Lin Shuyue in surprise. She remembered this girl's name. She had heard from her master that this girl was an unfathomable martial arts expert. Moreover, Jiang Yi was the one she saved.
She had thought that a girl who had practiced martial arts since childhood must be thick-shouldered and fat-waisted, with crude manners, but she had not expected that she would be so refined. However, when she thought that Jiang Yi was saved by the person in front of her, she felt a little unhappy.
She glanced at the girls who were quietly listening to the noise here, and suddenly she came up with an idea, and then raised her voice excitedly exclaimed: "So you are Miss Lin, I heard from my master that Miss Lin has been practicing martial arts since she was young. Although she is young, her kung fu is unfathomable. She is really a heroine."
"Mrs. Jiang, you are joking. I am not a heroine. I am just good at fighting."
Lin Shuyue responded calmly, but soon she heard discussions all around her.
"She knows Kung Fu? That's amazing..."
"What's so great about that? It's really embarrassing for a girl to learn such crude Kung Fu and show off her skills."
"Yes, how can such a person come to our banquet? We are the daughters of a royal family. How can such a vulgar person have the nerve to come here?"
“…”
Hearing these unbearable words, Mrs. Jiang curled her lips slightly.
Lin Shuyue finally understood the purpose of Mrs. Jiang's words just now. She lowered her eyes slightly to hide the coldness in her eyes.
Seeing those rich young ladies talking louder and louder, at this moment, a white and tender hand held her hand. She turned around and saw Tang Wanchu looking at her with bright eyes.
"Ayue, you are too modest. You have used your martial arts skills to catch human traffickers and save many kidnapped children. The day before yesterday, you rescued more than 20 people from the water.
You are much better than us women who can only appreciate flowers and the moon and are defenseless. If it weren't for my physical condition, my mother would have asked me to practice martial arts with you."
"Miss Lin, you are so amazing! You are just like the chivalrous woman in the storybooks, doing justice and helping the weak and the poor. I also want to learn martial arts."
Jiang Li, who had been silent all this time, stared at Lin Shuyue with shining eyes, her little round face flushed with excitement.
The conversation between the two made the surroundings quiet instantly. The girls lowered their heads, their faces slightly red, and they regretted their rude words just now.
Seeing that her goal was not achieved, Madam Jiang had to restrain her emotions, patted her forehead, and said in annoyance: "Oh, it's my fault. It's my fault that I didn't explain it clearly. Although Miss Lin is a martial artist, the Lin family is also a farming and reading family.
When the young master of the Lin family passes the imperial examination, he will surely soar to the sky, and then Miss Lin will be a real official lady, right, Miss Lin?"
Tang Wanchu was somewhat dissatisfied with what she said. She stepped in front of Lin Shuyue and looked at Madam Jiang and said seriously, "Madam Jiang, what you said is wrong. I never thought that young ladies from official families are necessarily superior to others. They just have a good family background. I feel uncomfortable listening to what you said just now."
Mrs. Jiang's face froze at Tang Wanchu's blunt words. Just as she was about to explain, she saw Lin Shuyue reaching out and pulling Tang Wanchu behind her.
Lin Shuyue stared at Madam Jiang, whose face was stiff, and said in a cold voice: "I originally thought that the Jiang family only had a few servants who liked to show off and look down on others, but it turns out that the slaves follow their masters.
Madam Jiang, if you have any objections to me, you can just say it directly. There is no need to incite the women present to target me. I, Lin Shuyue, do not have to come to your Jiang family."
After saying that, she took out the invitation from her arms and threw it to the ground.
"you!"
Mrs. Jiang, who was already feeling a little embarrassed, didn't expect that this girl would directly tear her apart. She was so angry that her face turned red.
Zhou Xue'e was already somewhat dissatisfied with Tang Wanchu's action of protecting Lin Shuyue. Seeing her aunt was angry, she disliked Lin Shuyue even more and scolded her in a delicate voice: "You are so rude. If it weren't for the fact that you saved cousin Yi, do you think you can come to the banquet today with your status?"
After saying that, she pulled Madam Jiang and said, "She is just a vulgar girl who is so arrogant and rude just because she has some fighting skills. Aunt, kick her out!"
"you dare!"
Tang Wanchu poked his head out from behind Lin Shuyue and stared at Zhou Xue'e angrily.
Zhou Xue'e's face froze, and she quickly tried to persuade him, "Wanchu, such a rude and scheming person is not worthy of your protection. You are the daughter of the prefect, how can you hang out with such a vulgar person?"
Jiang Li, who was standing by, could no longer bear the harsh words from her cousin and shouted, "Cousin, what you said is too much! Miss Lin is the guest I invited, what right do you have to chase her away?"
"Mom, what you just said is wrong. Ah Yue is my brother's savior. How could you..."
"Snapped..."
The garden was silent and the girls attending the banquet dared not breathe as they watched this scene.
