Chapter 173 When did she do such a cruel thing?
How many of those who can become the wife of an official do not know about the dirty things that happen in the harem?
Moreover, the news that the adopted daughter of the Jiang family was at odds with the Prime Minister's residence had already spread throughout the imperial city, and what was being maintained now was only superficial peace.
So everyone knew that Meng Lianshu's appearance as a "loving mother who cares about her daughter's best interests" was just a facade.
Therefore, what she said was actually accusing Jiang Wansang of being ignorant of etiquette and not being presentable.
Although everyone knew what was going on, this was the family affair of the prime minister of a country. They certainly would not directly expose this illusion that everyone understood. They silently looked at Jiang Wansang.
There was a hint of anticipation in these looks.
Judging from the rumors during this period, Jiang Wansang doesn't seem like someone who can be easily manipulated.
Jiang Wansang was of course aware of the gazes eager to see the show unfold, and she didn't disappoint them. She looked at Meng Lianshu with a beaming smile, "The entire Imperial City knows that the Prime Minister's wife and I were almost at odds, yet the Prime Minister's wife can still act like a loving mother in front of me. It's a shame she wouldn't be an actress with such acting skills."
Some people guessed that Jiang Wansang would definitely not buy Meng Lianshu's account, but no one expected her to say it so bluntly.
At someone's birthday party, in front of so many distinguished guests, saying that it's a pity that the person doesn't become an actor is something that not everyone would have the courage to do.
Some people almost couldn't hold back their laughter, but fortunately they managed to hold it back at the last moment.
But Meng Lianshu couldn't help it.
She didn't just hold back her laughter, she held back her anger.
"Jiang Wansang, you..."
Just as Meng Lianshu was about to lose her temper, the nanny beside her immediately stepped forward to hold him back, gently shaking her head.
With so many people watching, if the Madam, the mistress of the house, starts a quarrel with this bastard, she would be laughed at and might even affect the original plan for today.
Meng Lianshu, who was being held back, seemed to have remembered what he was about to do, and he suppressed the anger that was about to burst out, but his eyes were gloomy when he looked at Jiang Wansang.
She put on a forced smile and acted magnanimous. "You kid, you're still grumpy even at this age."
She didn't want to see Jiang Wansang for the time being, so she quickly sent him away. "Those rich ladies are all in the garden. Go greet those of your age."
Jiang Wansang knew why she was suppressing her anger, so she turned around and walked away cooperatively without saying anything more.
Watching her leave, Meng Lianshu breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, but subconsciously he was afraid of what words would come out of her mouth.
Ever since this bastard started going crazy, he either hits people or says things that are so infuriating that they can kill you.
Whatever the reaction, she didn't want it to happen on a nice day like today.
After sending this plague god away, Meng Lianshu took a deep breath and adjusted her mood. She smiled at the ladies around her and said, "Wansang has been spoiled by us since she was young. Ever since Han'er came back, she has always been throwing tantrums. I'm sorry to have made a fool of herself today."
Most of the people present were smart people. They all knew whether it was a child throwing a tantrum or what was going on, but no one was stupid enough to say it out loud in front of others.
So they followed Meng Lianshu's words and laughed, "Children just like to be a little naughty with their mothers. Madam Jiang is very thoughtful. When Miss Jiang grows up a little, she will understand."
Jiang Wansang, who had already walked far away, did not hear the flattering words and went straight into the garden.
If it weren't for the good show arranged by Meng Lianshu, she wouldn't want to participate in this kind of social gathering where a group of people with ordinary relationships gathered together to pretend to have deep feelings and chat with each other.
So after arriving at the garden, Jiang Wansang found a corner to sit in and asked Zheliu to bring some snacks for her to eat alone.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows what Jiang Wansang's current situation is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so if one wants to be on good terms with the Prime Minister's Mansion, one naturally cannot be on good terms with Jiang Wansang.
But everyone knew that Jiang Wan was on the Sang list with Master Pei, so even if no one took the initiative to make friends with her, no one dared to make enemies with her.
But these people who dare not make enemies do not include certain people.
"Some people are really shameless. They've occupied the wealth and status of others for more than a decade, and not only do they shamelessly stay here, but they also sleep in on such an important day and don't even come out to help greet the guests."
Jiang Wansang raised her eyes lazily and looked at the woman in yellow who was speaking loudly with a look of disdain on her face.
The face looked somewhat familiar. Jiang Wansang couldn't recall where she had seen it before, but the original owner's memory corresponded to the identities and faces of these rich young ladies, so she also knew the identity of the woman in yellow.
Liu Yueyan, the granddaughter of Tutor Liu.
In the original owner's memory, since Jiang Zihan came back, the most loyal follower around him was Liu Yueyan.
Recognizing the other person's identity, Jiang Wansang threw the remaining cake in his hand into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and asked Zhe Liu, "Who is this person?"
This question made Liu Yueyan's expression freeze, "You don't know me?!"
Her grandfather is the current Grand Tutor, and there is no one in this imperial city who doesn't know her, Liu Yueyan.
Jiang Wansang grew up in the imperial city and had seen all kinds of banquets. How could he not recognize her?
This woman must be pretending, just to deliberately humiliate her!
Although Liu Yueyan was spoiled, she was not too stupid and immediately guessed what Jiang Wansang meant.
But because she guessed it right, she became even angrier.
But before she could vent her anger, she heard Zhe Liu respond, "Miss, this is the young lady of the Liu family who you kicked into the pond at the palace banquet."
Palace banquet?
Kicked into the pond?
When had she ever done such a cruel thing?
The confusion in Jiang Wansang's expression seemed too real, as if adding fuel to Liu Yueyan's anger.
This woman has made her a laughing stock in the circle until now, and she dared not go out and see people for a whole month.
If it weren't for the fact that her grandfather was the Grand Tutor, others would have laughed at her long ago. How dare she not remember anything!
Liu Yueyan was about to lose her temper when Jiang Wansang suddenly slapped her thigh, as if suddenly realizing something. "So it's Miss Liu!"
She had indeed just remembered who this Liu Yueyan was.
When she came through, she happened to be at a palace banquet.
Later, Zhou Zhi sent her back to Lu Pavilion. When passing by the Imperial Garden, she heard someone say that she had been kidnapped by an assassin. She rushed up and kicked the person into the water. She stood by and laughed loudly, saying that she should wash her smelly mouth.
Because of this, Jiang Zihan stood up and asked her to apologize with righteous words. She was only thinking about how to kill this mentally ill and annoying girl of destiny, and completely forgot about this person.
If she hadn't come up to him today and Zheliu hadn't reminded him, Jiang Wansang really wouldn't have remembered it.
Seeing the other person looking at him with an expression that looked like she was about to explode with rage, Jiang Wansang curled the corners of his mouth and asked kindly, "Miss Liu, are you coming up to me to thank me for helping you clean up your bad breath?"
