Chapter 31
"The butler sent you here?" Eldest Sun Zhentian also felt strange, looked at the butler suspiciously, and asked, "What's going on? Did you know in advance that the elder would invite us here?"

All eyes were focused on the butler, as if a million-pound hammer hit his back, he trembled twice, and bent his body even deeper.

The scene was a bit tense, and Changsun Zhentao came out with a smile to smooth things over, and said: "It's just a casual meal for my family, where did so many talk come from? Let's go in quickly, and don't make big brother wait in a hurry."

Without giving Changsun Zhentian a chance to speak, Changsun Zhentao pushed him into the gate of the mansion, and Changsun Jingrong behind him, after taking a deep look at the housekeeper, followed him in.

The "routine meal" that Changsun Zhentao talked about, in the eyes of Changsun Jingrong, was clearly a grand banquet.The relatives and elders of the clan who were full looked at the father and daughter with unfriendly expressions, and there were mostly accusations and disdain in their eyes.

On the other hand, Changsun Zhenhai changed his old black-faced image. When he saw Changsun Zhentian, he waved to him enthusiastically, and greeted him: "Oh, why did you come here? I was with some uncles just now. Speaking of you! Come and sit, come and sit!"

After passing through many gazes, Changsun Zhentian sat down on the seat with a smirk all over his face, feeling uncomfortable all over.He is the least good at dealing with people in the clan, and the people in the clan don't look down on this son of the common clan.

If it was the eldest grandson Jingrong from before, facing such an occasion, his legs would definitely tremble, and he would silently recite the perfect etiquette norms in his heart, for fear that he would make a laughing stock if he did something wrong.But now, she is not afraid of these dying old people at all, because she knows that her life is not in the hands of those people, and their likes and dislikes are simply out of her scope of consideration!

With his jaw raised, the eldest grandson Jingrong had a proud smile on his face, and his whole body exuded a jewel-like brilliance, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

Seeing the eldest grandson's mirror like this, the eldest grandson Zhenhai was startled, and his expression was slightly displeased.But at the moment of breathing, the unhappiness disappeared, replaced by a pair of considerate concern.

"Jingrong, it's boring for you to sit by yourself, I'll ask Lingling to accompany you."

Hearing this, Bihe's expression changed, her hands clutched the skirt of her clothes tightly, feeling a little at a loss.

Looking at Changsun Zhenhai with a smile, Changsun Jingrong said gently: "Of course it's good. I haven't seen my cousin Lingling for a long time, so it's strange. It's just that I don't know if it's convenient for her cousin?"

"Heh, what's the inconvenience for her? Girls like to stay in the room all day embroidering and writing, what else can they do out of the ordinary?"

Faced with the uncle's words with deep meaning, the eldest grandson smiled and said nothing, as if he could not understand the meaning, he drank the clear flower nectar in front of him with his head bowed.

Seeing Changsun Jingrong's unmoved appearance, Changsun Zhenhai's expression froze slightly.

After a while, the eldest grandson Lingling, dressed in fine clothes, came out impatiently. She first greeted the elders, and then sat beside her elder grandson Jingrong unwillingly, without even looking at her.

"Lingling, didn't you see your cousin sitting beside you, why didn't you say hello!"

Although there was a little reproach on his expression, Chang Sun Zhenhai's tone was so gentle that anyone could tell that he was just putting on a show for others to see.

It's just that the elder Sun Lingling didn't even want to accept false accusations, she rolled her eyes at the people around her, and said with contempt on her face: "A woman who runs outside all day has lost her reputation, so she is ashamed to sit here and eat with the clansmen! Hmph , What a thick-skinned one!!"

With a straight face on purpose, Chang Sun Zhenhai reprimanded: "Lingling, why are you talking!"

"Daddy, what did I say wrong?" Eldest Sun Lingling poked her neck and said with an unyielding look on her face, "As a woman, you should cherish your reputation. But some people just ignore fame and nothing, and go to the shop all day long." Running inside and flirting with men is simply disgrace to our eldest grandson's family! For such a person, her name should be removed from the family tree and never set foot in the eldest grandson's family again!"

The elder Sun Lingling's words can be said to speak out the aspirations of many people present.

Because they are the elders of the eldest grandson Jingrong, saying such words seems too petty and has no tolerance for others.But it's different from Changsun Lingling's mouth. You can beat Changsun Jingrong, or warn Changsun Zhentian. Even if it gets out, you can't find anything wrong with Changsun Lingling.

Faced with these accusations, Changsun Jingrong acted as if he didn't know he was talking about himself, and listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time, seeming to agree.

This angered Eldest Sun Lingling, thinking that if the people next to her were not angry, then what she said just now would be in vain?There was no reaction at all, making myself look like a fool!
A wave of anger surged in her heart, Changsun Lingling turned around and looked at the woman beside her, she widened her eyes and said angrily: "You really have no shame, I've already said that about you, why don't you have the nerve to sit here!!"

The eldest grandson Jingrong seemed to have just realized it, looked at the angry elder grandson Lingling, and asked, "Did my cousin just talk about me?"

"Otherwise, who do you think I'm talking about? Do you think that all the women in the world are like you, skinless and shameless!"

Stretching out his hand to caress his cheek, the eldest grandson smiled warmly and said, "I don't understand what I said. What did I do to make my cousin misunderstand me?"

"Hmph, you don't need to be hypocritical! Those sitting here, who don't know that you are running a store now, showing your face all day long, and being with men, you really don't love yourself!"

Strangely propping up his jaw, Changsun Jingrong looked at Changsun Lingling curiously, and asked humbly: "Then can my cousin tell me why you don't love yourself when you run a store? I think that when dealing with men, I should keep Keeping an appropriate distance and never overdoing it, why does my cousin insist on this point?"

Glancing at Changsun Jingrong fiercely, Changsun Lingling said: "You said that there was no excess, so there is nothing? You stay with those guys all day, who knows what you have done! Hmph, pretending to be in front of outsiders It’s as innocent and harmless as a little white rabbit, but in front of a man, you can’t wait to stick it upside down! Have you never seen a man, even such a lowly thing, it’s really embarrassing!”

"Lingling!" With such vicious words, Chang Sun Zhentian can hardly imagine that someone would accuse his daughter like this. Even if he is a good person on weekdays, he couldn't help standing up and defending his daughter sharply, "She is yours no matter what! Cousin, this is too much to say!"

"Hmph, how dare you talk? As her father, you have failed to supervise her, not only ruining her own reputation, but also implicating me!"

"What...how do you say this?"

As if she mentioned something sad, the elder Sun Lingling looked aggrieved, pursed her lips, and said with red eyes: "Before I agreed to make peace with the Ninth Prince, it was so affectionate. In front of everyone, the Ninth Prince even gave me a token of love, no I’m going to marry me in today! But it’s because the eldest grandson’s reputation has been ruined, and the lord changed his mind! I missed my lover, and my family missed the opportunity to have a relationship with the royal family! Because of you, everything is ruined !!"

Changsun Jingrong became more and more angry as he talked, grabbed a glass of wine in front of him, and poured all of it on Changsun Jingrong.

"God, miss, are you okay!"

Bihe and Qiao Shan'er hurriedly wiped the stains on the eldest grandson Jingrong's body with handkerchiefs. The eldest grandson Zhentian also felt sorry for his daughter who was misunderstood and abused by others, but this place was full of clan elders, so no matter how angry they were, they couldn't get angry.On the contrary, Changsun Jingrong, with an unmoved appearance, let the two maidservants wipe it for him.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Changsun Zhenhai was quite satisfied.Originally, he didn't want to expose this matter by himself, but it happened that his daughter resented his eldest grandson Jingrong, so he asked her to vent her anger, and also embarrassed the father and daughter by the way. , You can also hand over the silk and satin village.

But when Changsun Zhenhai was full of calculations, Changsun Jingrong stood up slowly, and amidst all kinds of surprised looks, the corners of his lips curled up, and then his smile widened, and in the end, he laughed out of joy.

Looking at Changsun Jingrong's appearance, Changsun Lingling asked with a dark face, "What are you laughing at?"

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Changsun Jingrong said: "I'm laughing at my cousin who is still dreaming of an unrealistic spring and autumn dream! Oh, the prince will marry you? It's so funny!"

She slapped the table violently, and Changsun Lingling asked aggressively: "If the lord doesn't like me, why did you give me a comb? Don't be jealous, but make false accusations!"

"It's just a dream, what's there to be framed for?" Changsun Jingrong looked at Changsun Lingling condescendingly, and said, "The lord is simply playing with you, and you will treat him like a treasure if he gives you any gift! You can go to a place like the flower shop and ask, how many of the pretty girls there have never received a gift from the prince?"

"Wh...what!?"

Looking at the stunned eldest grandson Lingling, eldest grandson Jingrong uttered harsh words one after another, so shocked that eldest grandson Lingling couldn't recover.

"The Ninth Prince is just tired of looking at Sister Hua in the flower shop, so he wants to find freshness among ordinary women. The Ninth Prince has always had a bad reputation. Not only does my cousin not know how to avoid taboos, but she is complacent and publicizes everywhere, ruining her reputation! Cousin I don't even think about it, if the Ninth Prince really fell in love with you, why didn't you come to visit my uncle earlier? And as far as I know, before I took over the shop, the prince had already alienated his cousin, so it seems , Cousin was abandoned by the Ninth Prince, it has nothing to do with me at all!"

Sitting weakly on the chair, Changsun Lingling kept murmuring: "No, it won't be like this, the prince really likes me..."

After hearing Changsun Jingrong's words, everyone was silent for a while, as if no one thought that the matter would develop to this point.Those who should have lost their souls are in good spirits, while those who are reasonable and well-founded seem to have lost their souls.
