Chapter 55
"By the way, I heard that my cousin hired a newcomer in the past two months. He has a peerless appearance and a reputation as the most beautiful woman in the capital. I have always been curious to meet him. I wonder if he has come here today?" Sitting on the old lady Wang Miaoyan who was beside her spoke with a smile, her eyes were already looking for Jiang Wu's figure among the seats.

At this time, many people were already looking at Jiang Wu, so she had no choice but to stand up from her seat in front of everyone's gaze, and calmly saluted, "I've seen Miss Wang."

Jiang Wu was wearing a snow-blue double-breasted feather gauze moon dress, which looked too light and pure among the noble ladies who were competing for beauty, but her face was still beautiful and glamorous, like beautiful jade, elegant and vulgar, it was unforgettable.

In terms of appearance, charm and even temperament, she can be evenly matched with Wang Miaoyan, and even vaguely seems to overwhelm her.

Wang Miaoyan observed her calmly, then narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a soft smile: "So it's you, and your beauty really lives up to its reputation."

Jiang Wu was too low-key at the birthday banquet today, so many people who had heard of Jiang Wu's fame a long time ago did not realize that she was here, and many people cast amazed glances at her.

"Miss Wang's praise." Jiang Wu said politely, with a lukewarm attitude.

The old lady glanced at her lazily, and said to Wang Miaoyan: "What's so good about her, you probably didn't know when you just returned to Beijing. She was released from house arrest two days ago, and she was only released today."

Wang Miaoyan seemed puzzled, "Why is Miss Jiang under house arrest?"

The old lady sneered: "Today she was ambiguous with her nephew, and tomorrow she insulted and scolded the servants. She has a contemptuous and domineering temperament, so Biaoer put her under house arrest for a few days to cultivate her morality."

Many guests were shocked, is Jiang Wu actually this kind of person?

Wang Miaoyan seemed extremely astonished, "Is there such a thing?"

The old lady wanted to expose her background in front of everyone, and said condescendingly: "This kind of thing happened more than once or twice. After all, it's hard for a girl from a humble background to be a noble person."

For a moment, all kinds of disdainful and disgusted eyes were cast on Jiang Wu, and some people did not hide it.

If it had been anyone else, it would have been too embarrassing at this moment.

Jiang Wu raised her eyebrows and sneered, it was interesting, first she wanted to praise Liu Lu to deal with her, and now she wanted to deliberately tarnish her reputation, so as to pave the way for Wang Miaoyan.

Since she hurt Liu Lu last time, the family began to publicize that she is vicious and domineering, and it is likely that someone is manipulating this place.

"After you get married, you must learn how to be courteous, but don't be as soft-hearted as before, so as not to let those despicable methods get on your nose." The old lady patted Wang Miaoyan's hand lovingly, The words were for Jiang Wu.

On the other side of the Wang family's seat, Wang Hongyu frowned dissatisfiedly: "His Royal Highness can actually see such a vicious and jealous woman? If Miaoyan really serves a husband with this kind of woman in the future, wouldn't it lower Miaoyan's reputation?" identity?"

The implication is that if you want to marry Wang Miaoyan, you have to divorce Jiang Wu first.

The guests around were whispering and criticizing the family affairs of the Duke's Mansion, the atmosphere of the birthday banquet had long since changed.

She was calm and composed, with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, and asked: "The old lady and Mr. Wang are so foresighted to make plans for Miss Wang. They really have good intentions. Presumably this marriage should have been settled long ago, right?"

Wang Hongyu and the old lady's expressions turned cold. The Wang family had always wanted to settle this marriage, but Shen Fu never agreed.

Wang Hongyu stared at Jiang Wu unkindly, and said decisively: "Although the engagement has not yet been decided, it will be a matter of time. When the son returns this time, the marriage will be finalized immediately."

"Forgive me, you haven't even made a marriage contract yet, and you are talking so much about what will happen after you get married, isn't it intentional to damage Ms. Wang's reputation? What should Ms. Wang do if the marriage fails in the end?"

Jiang Wu's words seemed to be worried about Wang Miaoyan, and Wang Miaoyan's eyes mingled with coldness swept towards her instantly.

"When I was in my boudoir, I heard that the Wang family had always planned to marry the Duke's mansion, but they hadn't decided on it. After so many years, His Highness didn't agree. Could it be that now he will change his mind and suddenly agree?"

Wang Hongyu looked worried, "You are such an eloquent girl, is this something you manage?"

Wang Hongyu sneered in his heart, this time they were [-]% sure that Shen Fu would have to agree if he didn't want to, otherwise Shen Fu's position in the court would not only be in jeopardy.

Jiang Wu saluted generously, "As the old saying goes, secrets are used to make things happen, and words are used to reveal failures. I am also thinking of Miss Wang. Please forgive me if I offend you."

No matter how rude Wang Hongyu's words were, Jiang Wu maintained a modest and polite demeanor, and every word she said made sense. At this time, in the eyes of outsiders, she and Wang Hongyu competed for judgment.

Father Wang narrowed his eyes, this woman easily pushed the public opinion from herself to Miao Yan with just a few words, and her tactics were powerful.

"The old lady just said that the concubine's identity is not clear with the outsider, and the concubine's identity really does not agree with it. Others are just stalking and spreading rumors, but the old lady is also with her. After all, she is also your own grandson. You have nothing to do with it. Don't you care?"

Jiang Wu's words were exceptionally sharp, in front of so many people, the old lady couldn't easily punish her, otherwise her reputation of painstaking efforts for so many years would be ruined.

The old lady wanted to slander her with rumors, but at the same time she was slandering Shen Jinfu.

Jiang Wu finally discovered something, the Duke and the old lady seemed to dislike Shen Jinfu very much, this dislike probably stemmed from his biological mother who died a few years ago.

That woman who has been regarded as a disgrace by the Duke's Mansion so far, is not even allowed to be mentioned.

The Duke frowned displeasedly, and scolded Jiang Wu: "Presumptuous, who allowed you to talk to the old lady like this?"

"This concubine is just telling the truth. That day my concubine saw that the fourth young master was sick, so I kindly rescued him. Speaking of which, the mansion was really indifferent. The young master was in a coma and there was not even a servant to help him. At that time, the situation, I can only hold him up myself."

Jiang Wu snorted softly, "This concubine is indeed overstepping the rules, but it is definitely not about hooking up with outside men. If the old lady wants to convict her because of this, I am willing to be punished."

She came out from the seats, knelt down in front of the old lady, her back was as straight as a pine, neither humble nor overbearing.

"But the concubine will still do this next time. No matter who the other party is, is it possible to let a person die in order to avoid suspicion?"

She seems to be obedient, but in fact she is advancing by retreating, forcing the old lady into a dilemma.

Anyway, in order to support Wang Miaoyan, the old lady would get rid of her thorn in her side sooner or later, so Jiang Wu didn't intend to be polite to her.

If these things are not explained clearly in public, her reputation will be completely stigmatized from now on.
