Chapter 500 You Must Hold a Banquet to Apologize to Me
Shen Ningning patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
"Sister Jiang, don't worry. When we go back, Madam Zhang will know that it was a misunderstanding, and Madam Shu will teach Su Zhirou a lesson."
Even so, Jiang Zhi was still worried.
She was afraid of causing trouble for Chen Shaobei.
Mo Lingwei leaned against the door frame. Although his attitude towards Jiang Zhi was still a little cold, he was not as sharp as before.
"Don't worry. From my understanding of Chen Shaobei, he will not leave you in the barracks without certainty."
Hearing that Mo Lingwei had said so, Jiang Zhi could only nod slightly.
Jiang Zhi rushed back to the barracks, and Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei left early.
On the way home, Mo Lingwei looked at the girl beside him with a faint smile on his lips.
"Why didn't you say earlier that Jiang Zhi was a woman?"
"I promised Sister Jiang that I would help her conceal her identity."
After Shen Ningning finished speaking, she saw Mo Lingwei smiling, and the girl tilted her head, a little confused.
"Brother, what are you happy about?"
"No," Mo Lingwei denied it, but raised his eyebrows and asked: "Will you tell me one day that Lu Shaoyuan is also a woman?"
Shen Ningning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This really won't happen. He is a genuine man."
Hearing the words "genuine", Mo Lingwei's face, which was still smiling just now, suddenly became gloomy.
Seeing him pursing his thin lips, there was a chill in his thin eyes.
Shen Ningning blinked her innocent eyes: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? He is really a man!"
Mo Lingwei gritted his teeth: "You-that's all."
He crossed his arms and looked out the window, looking like he was angry with Shen Ningning.
After sending the girl back to Xie's house, Mo Lingwei couldn't help but say again: "Shen Ningning, you are a girl after all, don't keep saying the words genuine. You are not that close to him. I don't like it."
After that, he threw the curtain: "Let's go."
The carriage rolled away.
Shen Ningning was left blinking her eyelashes in confusion.
"The real deal..." She muttered and pondered: "Where is the ambiguity and intimacy? My brother is so weird!"
Su Mansion.
In the hall, Madam Shu sat on a chair with a dignified look.
Su Zhirou knelt on the futon in front of her with a pitiful look.
"Mother, calm down, I know I was wrong."
"Zhirou, Zhirou, I asked the best teacher to teach you etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, how can you make noise about other people's family affairs outside."
Madam Shu said, shaking her head: "You really disappoint me."
Su Zhirou was anxious: "Mother! Why don't you believe me? I really saw... Deputy General Zhang had close contact with a woman."
She didn't confess Chen Shaobei because Chen Shaobei's official position was higher than Deputy General Zhang.
If it was Chen Shaobei's mistake today, it would be a big joke.
Su Zhirou was afraid that if she said it, Madam Shu would be completely angry.
However, Madam Shu's face was not good now.
"Whether it's true or not, it's the business of other couples, what does it have to do with you?"
"Not only are you not related to Madam Zhang, but you also went to other people's houses to sow discord. If this is true, it's fine. If it's false, like now, how can you let Madam Zhang and Deputy General Zhang face the ups and downs of the city?"
Su Zhirou trembled all over and hesitated: "The ups and downs of the city? How can it be so serious? Besides, didn't they catch him?"
"You!" Madam Shu pointed at her, flicked her sleeves, and pressed her eyebrows helplessly.
She sighed: "In a few days, I will send you back to Shuzhou. There are better etiquette maids there to teach you well."
Su Zhirou was shocked: "Mother! Are you going to send me away from the capital?"
"What else? Leave you in the capital and continue to make a fool of yourself? Shuzhou is also very good. There are more connections there to cultivate you, and there are also promising families in the local area. We can find an excellent marriage for you."
As soon as Madam Shu finished speaking, Su Zhirou stood up suddenly.
With tears in her eyes, she said angrily: "I won't leave! Mother, I know, you never treated me as your own daughter, but as a burden."
"Now I did something wrong, you are in a hurry to send me away, but I won't leave, I won't leave the capital!"
After speaking, Su Zhirou lifted her skirt, wiped her tears and ran out.
Mrs. Shu didn't expect this girl to be so angry.
She was even more disappointed.
Over the years, she treated Su Zhirou well and raised her as her own daughter.
Why didn't she get a little understanding?
That night.
Deputy General Zhang, who was extremely angry, made a scene at the door of Su's mansion.
No matter how Mrs. Zhang pulled him, he refused to leave.
Standing outside the door and yelling, give him an explanation.
"Young lady from the Su family, if you have the guts, come out and see me. We don't know each other. What do you want by making up rumors about me, Zhang?"
Mrs. Zhang pulled him twice: "Okay, let's go, let's talk about it when we get home. I told you it was a misunderstanding."
Deputy General Zhang was tall and strong, with a black beard.
He glared, with the power of a military general.
"It's a misunderstanding? It's a misunderstanding, and I've never offended her Su family! I don't care. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will go to the emperor and let him judge!"
"We live a good life. I'm out there defending my country, and someone is actually provoking my wife. It's really unreasonable. Young lady from the Su family, come out! Explain clearly!"
His voice was so loud that several prominent people in the alley came out to see what was going on.
Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to get in the carriage and wait for him.
Su Zhirou hid in the house and heard the maid say that Deputy General Zhang was looking for trouble. She was so frightened that she covered her head with the quilt.
"I don't see you. It's so late and I'm almost asleep. Let him make the noise. It's his people who are being lost anyway."
The maid had no choice but to bother Mrs. Shu.
Finally, the door of Su Mansion opened, and Mrs. Shu walked out in plain clothes, followed by two servants holding lamps.
Vice General Zhang glanced behind her angrily: "Where is that nonsense little lady of yours? Come out and see me! I will only ask her about this matter, no matter what others say."
Mrs. Shu sighed: "Vice General Zhang, my daughter-in-law did not know how to handle this matter. She did not confirm it clearly and just talked nonsense outside. She already knows that she was wrong. How about I ask her to come to your door to apologize to you some other time?"
Vice General Zhang's face turned red with anger.
"Mrs. Shu, I know you are kind-hearted, but this little lady of yours is so annoying. Why are you trying to provoke me and my wife? I, Zhang, have never offended her!"
Mrs. Shu is such a noble person. She has been noble since she was born.
How had I ever been pointed in the nose and taught a lesson like this for the sake of an adopted daughter?
She had no shame in her face and could only nod sadly: "That's what you said."
Vice General Zhang didn't want to cause too much trouble.
After all, although Mrs. Shu is no longer the princess, she is still well cared for by the prince.
He also saw that Su Zhirou didn't dare to come out.
So, he raised his voice and said: "How can she clear my innocence just by apologizing to me? Let's do this, you hold a banquet and let her clarify that she was wrong in front of everyone at the banquet. "This matter has nothing to do with me, Mrs. Shu, this is my only request!"
Mrs. Shu frowned slightly.
She glanced at Vice General Zhang and finally nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that she had agreed, Mrs. Zhang sat on the carriage, raised the curtain and shouted: "Okay, let's take it as soon as we can. Why are you embarrassing Mrs. Shu?"
Vice General Zhang naturally knows this truth.
Before leaving, he cursed at the people in the house: "These days, you have to be careful when you adopt a child, lest you raise a white-eyed wolf who gets into trouble and just acts like a coward and lets the elders deal with it. What's this called?" Rules! Humph.”
The Zhang family's carriage left.
Mrs. Shu stood at the door, the two lanterns under the plaque swaying back and forth, and she sighed softly.
The housekeeper was concerned: "Madam, do you want to tell His Highness the Crown Prince?"
After all, what kind of reputation does the Su family have, and to actually hold a banquet to apologize is a slap in the face.
If the prince came forward, it would definitely not be so troublesome.
Mrs. Shu shook her head: "This matter should be clarified at a banquet. Vice General Zhang is right, and Zhirou should be taught a lesson."
Su Zhirou later heard the maid tell her everything that happened outside the door.
She gnashed her teeth angrily in the quilt.
Madam Shu actually didn't ask her to apologize in front of all the nobles in the capital? !
She insisted on finding evidence that Chen Shaobei kept a beautiful concubine, so that they all knew that she had done nothing wrong!
