Qin Jiaojiao sat there in a daze. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were empty and blank. Facing their aggressiveness, she suffered silently.

She didn't know whether it was because she didn't care, or because there was too much spit like this and she was already used to it.

These people have been suppressed by Qin Jiaojiao for many years. Once they gain power, they will naturally not let this opportunity go.

One of them was praised by everyone and walked at the front. He was the protagonist of today's banquet, Mrs. Yao's grand-niece, Yuan Yingying.

"Why, does Miss Qin look down on us?"

Yuan Yingying leaned forward slightly, getting in front of Qin Jiaojiao, and said with mockery in her eyes: "I think Miss Qin doesn't even want to talk to us."

As soon as she said this, the group of girls behind her who were holding her sighed.

"How dare you show off in front of Miss Yuan even if you don't look at her current status?"

"If it weren't for the sake of the engagement, how could she be worthy of our Third Young Master Yao? If you ask me, she should have known herself. The Yao family cared about her and didn't take the initiative to mention it. She should have given up her position. Don’t be so shameless here.”

Each of these words is harder to hear than the last.

However, Qin Jiaojiao remained silent.

Yuan Yingying seemed to be annoyed by her silence. She glared hard and gritted her teeth and said, "Qin Jiaojiao, did you listen to what we said?"

At this point, Qin Jiaojiao raised her head and said expressionlessly: "I'm not here to have a verbal dispute with you today."

The wind blew up the corners of her clothes, making her face look even more pale as paper. She looked extremely fragile, without any trace of the heroism and ease of a general's daughter.

However, her concession only caused them to push further.

Yuan Yingying looked at her with contempt and said without mercy: "What are you pretending to be? We all know the purpose of your coming here today."

"Aren't you, the General's Mansion, eager to seize this life-saving straw for the Yao family?"

Yuan Yingying mocked: "Where were you so proud in the past? Why are you now like a lost dog that knows how to tuck its tail between its legs and become a human being?"

Qin Jiaojiao's face became paler and she moved her lips, but she didn't say anything.

When Shen Qingci came in, he saw this scene.

The steward who was leading the way was about to shout a reminder, but was interrupted by her raising her hand.

Mrs. Yao's wife was in the main courtyard. According to the rules, after entering the house, she should first go to see Mrs. Yao.

Prince Duan's biological mother, Concubine Yao Shu, was Mrs. Yao's youngest daughter.

Old Mrs. Yao has a royal decree, and based on her status, she is half the elder of Shen Qingci.

However, I never expected that I would see this scene when I passed by the large garden on my way to the main courtyard.

This large garden is full of female relatives admiring flowers and drinking tea. In the circle of aristocratic women in Beijing, it is common for them to flatter others and put others down.

What's more, now that the Yao family has gained power, Yuan Yingying, who has gained face in front of Mrs. Yao, is naturally praised by everyone.

They made a lot of noise, and even if some people heard it or even couldn't stand it, they chose to turn a blind eye.

No one will touch the Yao family and Yuan Yingying at this time.

What's more, the other party is Qin Jiaojiao, who is incompatible with the world of ladies.

She is proud, flamboyant, and independent, unlike them who follow the rules step by step.

In the past, she had the protection of the General's Mansion, the pampering of her father and brother, and she could live as she pleased.

He is an existence that noble ladies in many circles can't stand but are jealous of.

Now, seeing her fall from the clouds and become a being that everyone can bully and humiliate,

Shen Qingci was not far away and saw all this clearly.

The guide steward next to him had an embarrassed look on his face and kept giving glances to the maid in front of him. However, Shen Qingci rarely appeared in front of people, and not many people recognized her, let alone several maids from the Yao family, so no one understood the steward's eyes. .

Until Shen Qingci walked towards the pavilion.

Yuan Yingying and others were surrounding Qin Jiaojiao and were enjoying themselves, but unexpectedly a slap came over her.

clap clap clap!
After a few crisp sounds, not only the person who was beaten was stunned, but also the other people who had stayed away from the incident and watched from the sidelines.

Yuan Yingying was almost shaken by the slap, and after stumbling, she was supported by the maid behind her.

She subconsciously touched the burning side of her face with one hand, raised her head and glared at Shen Qingci who suddenly barged in.

"You dare to hit me!"

"Do you know where this place is? How dare you hit me!"

In her opinion, since she was attending a banquet hosted by the Yao family, how could she dare to attack her, the grand-niece of Mrs. Yao, without giving the Yao family a little favor!
"Come on!"

Yuan Yingying raised her hand and pointed, "Here comes someone!"

She was also an aristocratic daughter who grew up being held in the palm of others' hands. She had never suffered the humiliation of being slapped in public.

In shame and anger, her reason was almost burned to ashes.

Naturally, no one noticed Shen Qingci, who was beating the person. He was dressed in an unparalleled and luxurious outfit, with an eight-treasure glazed phoenix hairpin that could only be worn by a princess.

She had already flicked her wrist as if nothing had happened and glanced at the steward who was leading the way.

The steward then broke into a cold sweat and said, "Princess Ning has arrived."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a gasp from all around.

Someone who responded quickly came forward to greet me.

Even among the people who had just been beaten, some were smarter and knelt down.

Yuan Yingying froze on the spot and said in disbelief: "Princess Ning? She is not..."

Is it important to die from the disease?

Of course, she didn't really lose her mind completely, and she didn't say the second half of the sentence.

No wonder they were surprised. After all, there were very few rumors about Princess Ning, and the only words that could be heard about her were that she was seriously ill and would die soon.

Especially in recent months, she has been staying behind closed doors, which makes people subconsciously think that she is dying.

Even the Yao family didn't post anything.

But she appeared in front of everyone at this moment.

Moreover, looking at that energy, it is not just a matter of good things.

All of a sudden, all kinds of little calculations started flying.

She was beaten the hardest, and Yuan Yingying, who was closest to Shen Qingci, was even more difficult to get off.

She can't afford to offend the princess.

However, she couldn't swallow it.

Amidst all the entanglement and suffering, she thought of Shen Qingci's identity.

Princess Ning, hasn’t Prince Ning already...

Correct!
Thinking of this, Yuan Yingying's eyes lit up.

Prince Ning is dead, what kind of trouble can a short-term princess make?

She is just a lost dog like Qin Jiaojiao.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yingying, who was already at a loss, suddenly felt a little more confident.

She calmly gestured to the maid behind her, asking someone to invite Mrs. Yao.

At the same time, she straightened her body and saluted Shen Qingci: "I don't know that Princess Ning has arrived. Yingying has offended many people. Please forgive Princess Ning."

She said this, but her eyes and tone didn't mean that.

Shen Qingci didn't take it into consideration at all.

Shen Qingci glanced at her, "The person you offended is not me, but Miss Qin."

While speaking, Shen Qingci had already taken steps towards Qin Jiaojiao.

When faced with the ridicule and ridicule around her, Qin Jiaojiao did not cry, but her eyes turned red the moment she saw Shen Qingci.So many things happened during this period, not only the Qin family, but also Prince Ning's mansion. There was no news about Shen Qingci's departure for so long. Qin Jiaojiao was worried all day long, fearing that she who was accompanying Prince Ning would be up to something.

Now that they met again and saw that she was well, the stone hanging in Qin Jiaojiao's heart finally fell to the ground.

She had too many things to say to Shen Qingci, but in front of everyone, she just bowed down and bowed politely.

However, before the ceremony could be completed, Shen Qingci grabbed his wrist.

She took Qin Jiaojiao's hand, glanced around, and said in a cold but oppressive tone: "I'm here today to see who can bully you."

As soon as this statement came out, everything was silent.

Yuan Yingying, who was left alone, looked a little confused. Before she could speak, Shen Qingci turned to look at her.

"Repeat what you just said."

"Say one wrong word and get a slap."

"hiss……"

The sound of gasping for cold air sounded again.

Yuan Yingying's face was so frightened that she turned as pale as paper, "Princess Ning... we didn't say anything, it was just... a joke between a few little sisters. Why does the princess have to be so aggressive?"

Because it was the territory of the Yao family and Shen Qingci was just a short-term princess, Yuan Yingying did not notice it.

The male guests are all in the main hall, which is still some distance away, and it is difficult for the old man of the Yao family and the elders of the Yao family to come forward for this kind of thing.

She counted the time and it was time for the old lady of the Yao family to arrive.

Yuan Yingying couldn't help but feel a little more confident.

Before Shen Qingci could speak, she had already stood up and argued: "With so many ladies here, who saw or heard us bullying Qin Jiaojiao?"

Seeing this, Shen Qingci raised his lips and smiled: "Did I tell you to get up?"

This feeling of oppression made Yuan Yingying panic, but she quickly calmed down, convinced that Shen Qingci, with his status, did not dare to cause trouble in the Yao family, and was just a bluffing paper tiger.

Therefore, Yuan Yingying raised her head and was not afraid.

Counting the time, it’s time for the old lady of the Yao family to arrive.

However, Shen Qingci didn't even look at her. She glanced at Qiu Shui beside her: "Did you hear clearly what Miss Yuan just said?"

Qiu Shui immediately responded, leaning slightly and saying, "I heard you clearly, slave."

Shen Qingci nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead."

After receiving Shen Qingci's instructions, even if it was in the Yao family's territory, Qiu Shui knew that it was not good to do so without any hesitation or ambiguity.

She took a few steps forward and walked to Yuan Yingying. She greeted her first and said, "Miss Yuan, I have offended you."

No one has reacted yet, even Yuan Yingying herself is still confused.

Qiu Shui had already kicked Yuan Yingying on the knee.

She was in so much pain that she couldn't stand firmly on the spot and fell to her knees directly on the ground.

This is just the beginning.

Qiu Shui continued: "Miss Yuan just said that Miss Qin doesn't know her identity, saying that Miss Qin is shameless..."

Every time he said a word, Qiu Shui's slap fell.

The whole movement was neat and smooth, and only after a few slaps were completed did everyone react.

The steward of the Yao family and the ladies in charge of socializing in several houses hurriedly came forward to intercede.

"Princess Ning, please calm down. It's Yingying who is young and ignorant, and offended Miss Qin and the princess with her unrestrained words. Please consider it for the sake of the Yao family..."

Before they could finish their plea, Shen Qingci rolled his eyes at them.

"Then when they ganged up to bully Gillian before, why didn't you come forward to smooth things over?"

"After all, she is still engaged to your Yao Qianli, but your Yao family's future third-bedroom young lady, is this how you watch the show?"

After saying this, the people who were fighting were speechless.

"Princess Ning..."

Qin Jiaojiao tugged at Shen Qingci's sleeves and hesitated to speak.

Shen Qingci knew her worries, so she patted Qin Jiaojiao's hand: "Don't worry, I'm here to see who can bully you."

There were some words that she couldn't wait to share with Qin Jiaojiao.

For example, Qin Chao was still alive, but in full view of the public, it was not a good time to speak.

"I have everything."

Shen Qingci only said this, and Qin Jiaojiao said nothing more.

The two of them trust and understand each other, and one look is enough.

While the two were talking, Qiu Shui had already slapped him.

Yuan Yingying, who was pretty and cute just now, has become swollen into a pig's head, and even her whimpers are intermittent.

At this time, I heard movement coming from the Crescent Arch.

The protagonist of today's birthday banquet, the old lady of the Yao family, arrived belatedly under the starry gaze of a group of noble ladies.

"Princess Ning."

After all, she has been the daughter-in-law of the Yao family for so many years, and she has been awarded a first-class imperial title. Even though she is getting older, she still has this pressure.

"I don't know what crime Yingying committed to make Princess Ning unleash the wrath of thunder."

For a noble lady from aristocratic families, nothing is more important than face.

Now Shen Qingci not only slapped Yuan Yingying in the face in public, but also hit her so many times, and she also chose the occasion of Mrs. Yao's birthday.

This is how the Yao family can swallow this breath.

"Princess Ning must give my Yao family and Yuan family an explanation for what happened today!"

When all the female relatives heard Mrs. Yao's question, they felt a little more wary in their hearts, and looked at Shen Qingci with a little more gloating.

After all, the other party is the most popular grandmother of Prince Duan.

The biological mother of Concubine Yao Shu.

The four great families that used to have great glory, the Zhang family collapsed, the Lin family was in civil strife, and the Wang family had its tail between its legs.

Only the Yao family is becoming more and more prosperous.

But at this moment, Shen Qingci dared to poke this hornet's nest.

Not only did she stab her, she also kicked her.

Facing the aggressive Mrs. Yao, Shen Qingci smiled slightly: "Mrs. Yao is also a clan wife, and she has a royal title. Why, relying on the power of King Duan, have you even forgotten the basic etiquette?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

In terms of title and rank, she was also of the first rank, but the princess still had to outshine her.

With the background of the Yao family here, even if Princess Duan met her, she would have to respectfully and politely address her as grandmother and ancestor.

No one is competing here.

But Shen Qingci insisted on this.

Especially on a day like this.

Seeing her cold and arrogant look, everyone reacted belatedly.

She might not just be here to support Qin Jiaojiao.

She's here to cause trouble!
