Cui Mansion.

Madam Ming San brought Ming Jinxiu into Tang's yard and started crying, "Mother, the daughter of the loyal and brave general is so arrogant! She whipped me when I disagreed with her, and Jinxiu almost got hurt, wuwuwu."

Tang was also terrified after learning what happened from Wang. "Oh my! Why did you go and provoke that evil lady from the Meng family? Even the dandies in the capital dare not provoke her!"
Today, thanks to the little girl from the Yang family, I didn't expect that she could even tie with Meng Jinge. You must thank her later!"

Madam Ming San wiped her tears and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will thank Xiaoya very much. But can the Meng family just let it go so easily?"

Tang was helpless. "What else can we do? General Zhongyong is a military commander that the emperor relies on, and he is loyal. It's just a girl's prank, the emperor won't intervene. Besides, the Ming family has no roots in the capital, and it's not right to offend the Meng family. Since the Meng family is willing to apologize, we should accept it. Don't mention it again. Well, you are tired too, go back and have a good rest, drink some calming soup, and stay in the mansion for a few days to avoid the limelight."

Mrs. Ming San also knew that what Tang said was true. She once again resented her husband for being useless and her in-laws for being powerless, and took her daughter back to the yard.

As soon as Ming Jinxiu returned, she locked herself in the room.

Mrs. Ming San was worried. She walked in and gently advised, "This incident was a close call. It serves as a reminder to us. Anyway, your talent and reputation have spread. If you keep a low profile in the future, nothing will happen."

Ming Jinxiu turned her head abruptly, tears streaming down her face, "Mother! Why am I still not as good as Yang Xuejun despite my efforts? When we were in Tongchang Mansion before, Brother Changsong always praised his sister and said that his sister was the most talented woman he had ever seen. How am I not as good as her?"

Madam Ming San was stunned. "Silly girl, why are you competing with Xiao Ya?"

She thought her daughter was so eager to be known as a talented woman in order to give herself some bargaining chips for her future wedding, but she never expected that it was to compete with Yang Xiaoya.

Seeing that Madam Ming San's face was gloomy, Ming Jinxiu felt very aggrieved, "Mother, you told me before that if possible, I would marry into the Yang family, but the emperor has granted the marriage, and I am destined to have no chance with the Yang family. You acknowledge Brother Changsong as your son, so he is my brother, and we are all his sisters, but in the end he still likes his own sister more!"

Mrs. Ming San felt very sad when she heard this, but she understood why her daughter was jealous.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault that I couldn't give you a brother who could support you!"

Ming Jinxiu paused, and quickly shook her head, "Mother, that's not what I meant! Forget it! Grandmother is right, it's my eagerness for quick success that has brought me to this day. I will keep a low profile in the future and will never cause you any trouble again."

Mrs. Ming San was even more saddened by her daughter's understanding.

She only had Jiang Ning as a friend, and after much thought, she decided that she could only go to Jiang Ning to tell him what was on her mind.

"I know she is in pain. We have never been welcomed in the Ming family since we were young. Her father is useless and her grandmother is always a troublemaker. She always looks down on her for not being a grandson. I am the only one in the Ming family who truly loves her. I am the only one! I accept Santie as my student and Santie regards her as a sister, more like a brother than her brothers. She also regards Santie as the most important person besides me. Maybe that's why she is so sensitive and always competes with Xiaoya. I'm really sorry!"

Madam Ming San cried so pitifully that Jiang Ning could not say anything to blame her. He only said, "That child has a problem in his heart. You should try to comfort him. I will also remind Santie to come and visit Jinxiu when he returns from the border. But I don't know if he can catch up with Jinxiu's wedding."

Jiang Ning was a little distressed.

Mrs. Ming San saw that Jiang Ning really didn't take it to heart, and she was relieved and shook her head repeatedly, "It doesn't matter if I can't make it back, she can understand."

Jiang Ning turned around and told Yang Xiaoya what Ming Jinxiu was thinking. Yang Xiaoya was surprised for a moment, and then she said thoughtfully: "Since she is jealous of me, I will try not to appear in front of her, and everyone will be safe."

Jiang Ning was a little curious, "Don't you want to ease the relationship between you two?"

Yang Xiaoya smiled and said meaningfully, "People with different ideals cannot work together. She and I are not of the same kind. I helped her that day because of my mother and my third brother. She is jealous and will not be relieved by my kindness. Why should I bother myself? As long as she does not do anything bad to me, I only need to be polite to her.

Whatever happens between A Niang and Madam Ming San will be fine, don't worry about me."

Jiang Ning suddenly realized that his daughter had grown up. Few people could match her open-minded attitude.

She was relieved and even more happy.

Ever since the incident at the flower viewing banquet, Ming Jinxiu has really kept a low profile. She no longer attends banquets easily, and even if someone invites her, she will find various excuses to decline. The rumors about her have also gradually weakened.

Instead, Yang Xuejun became famous.

Everyone said that the eldest daughter of the Guang'en Marquis's mansion was a martial arts master whose skills were no less than Meng Jinge's. Later on, some people even said that Yang Xuejun was a female demon with a green face and fangs, who was very ugly and could twist a person's head off with one hand.

King Xiaoyao sat in the private room of Baiwei Tower and looked at his son, whose face was darkening. He asked with interest, "Why do you suddenly feel like inviting me to dinner today?"

Xiao Chongyun looked at his father, whose ears were dangling, seriously and heaved a long sigh of relief. "I plan to go to the northwest with my cousin Prince Ding to gain experience. The capital is in such chaos, I am really worried. You must help me keep an eye on it."

"Is it messy? What's messy?" King Xiaoyao was confused.

Xiao Chongyun slammed the table in anger, "Father! I don't believe you didn't hear those rumors! Did you do it?"

King Xiaoyao turned his eyes away guiltily and muttered, "What do you mean I did it? Stop slandering me with empty words!"

"Still pretending! The Yang family is now in its heyday and has no conflicts with many forces in the capital. No one would be stupid enough to target them. It's only you who has nothing better to do than to let people spread those rumors! A woman's reputation is so important, how could you go so far?" Xiao Chongyun became more and more angry as he spoke. If the other party was not his father, he would have wanted to have someone teach King Xiaoyao a lesson.

King Xiaoyao widened his eyes in anger, "I am doing this for you! If you were useless, would I have to go to such great lengths?"

"I"

Without waiting for Xiao Chongyun to explain, King Xiaoyao said, "I watched Xuejun grow up. She was soft, generous, decent and considerate when she was young. It's rare that the Yang family became rich, but she was not affected. She has a strong character, and she is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, women's needlework and cooking. She is also beautiful.

You saw it that day, too. She is as skilled as Meng Jinge. Tell me, such an outstanding girl is eligible to enter the palace! If there were no princes of marriageable age in the palace and the emperor had no intention of doing so, such a good girl would have been taken by the first person! "(End of this chapter)
