Chapter 17: What a Gentleman Does
"It's too much!" Ji Qiaohui couldn't bear it anymore, lowered her voice and said, "How can the fourth sister arrange you like this in front of others?" ”
Shen Qiao'an patted her hand persuasively in turn, "Third sister, it's okay, I believe that those who are clear will clear themselves." ”
Ji Qiaohui smiled bitterly, her own sister was so unkind to Shen Qiaoan, but she was helpless. Holding back her anger, she reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Sister Shen, don't take it to heart, when I go back, I will definitely let my father and mother discipline her well." ”
Shen Qiao'an bowed.
The two raised their feet and walked out of the bamboo forest.
As the saying goes: the road is narrow. As soon as they walked out of the bamboo forest, the two saw Ji Qingliu and a few people coming down from the pavilion.
From afar, Ji Qiaohui recognized those people, and before they got close, she introduced the identities of several women to Shen Qiaoan.
Shen Qiaoan had recognized these people in his previous life, so he quickly remembered them.
The two parties got closer and closer, and there was no way to avoid it, Ji Qingliu could only reluctantly call Ji Qiaohui, "Third sister." ”
In front of this group of Yanjing nobles, Ji Qiaohui did not have a seizure, replied very calmly, and immediately greeted the nobles in front of her.
Ji Qiaohui is famous, and the nobles are naturally happy to make friends with her.
At the end, a woman asked Shen Qiaoan beside her, "Sister Ji, who is this lady next to you?" ”
Everyone's eyes had actually fallen on Shen Qiao'an a long time ago.
She was born delicate, with a delicate body, and she was so faced, these nobles were naturally interested.
Ji Qiaohui smiled, pulled Shen Qiaoan forward, and said, "This is my father's adopted daughter, Shen Qiaoan." ”
Shen Qiao'an stepped forward and made an extremely thoughtful salute, and his words were crisp and neat, "I am Shen Qiao'an, the righteous daughter of Ji Heng of the Marquis of Changning, and I have seen the fifth princess, the county lord of Chunyang, the third girl of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the second girl of the Dingguo Mansion. ”
The characters who were still talking about it were standing in front of them alive at this moment, and several noble ladies were all scornful, they were all people with excellent cultivation, and they rarely gossiped, but they didn't expect to meet like this once in a while.
Although Li Xiaoyue, the third girl of the Zhenguo Mansion, felt embarrassed, she was not afraid at all, raised her eyes and looked at her a few times, and then asked bluntly, "We were talking in the pavilion just now, can you hear me?" ”
She has an arrogant temperament, and she has always said whatever she wants, and she is not afraid of offending people at all.
The third princess, Mu Xiang, was also a person who grew up in a honey pot, and immediately took over the conversation, and her tone was even stronger, "You came from the bamboo forest, you must have eavesdropped, right?" ”
Lu Shengyun, the county lord of Chunyang, and Qin Shuwan, the second girl of the Dingguo Mansion, were red with shame, and hurriedly grabbed these two impulsive good sisters.
Shen Qiaoan was fearless, smiled faintly, and said, "The third princess is wrong, the courtiers are not eavesdropping, but overheard your conversation when they passed by. ”
Her gaze fell straight on Ji Qingliu, and there was a hint of gloom in her eyes, "As the saying goes, whoever is behind his back is not said, and who is behind his back is not said." It's just that reversing black and white, right and wrong are not distinguished, but it is not a gentleman's doing! ”
Ji Qingliu couldn't help but tremble.
Ji Qingliu has always looked down on Shen Qiaoan on weekdays. She is the daughter of Changning Houfu, and she should have been born to be loved by thousands of people. But this Shen Qiaoan is just a righteous daughter adopted by her father, why should she share a share of the dignity that she should enjoy.
Shen Qiao'an's words caused the temperature around him to drop a few points quickly.
"If you are open in heart, why are you afraid of us saying this?" Ji Qingliu's back stiffened, and he stiffened his neck.
The faces of several noble ladies changed one after another, and the county lord of Chunyang blushed a little face, and reached out to pull the sleeves of several sisters. It was rude for them to arrange Shen Qiaoan behind their backs, and if they confronted them face to face now, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing.
Qin Shuwan took Ji Qingliu's hand, took her to her side, and dissuaded her in a low voice, "Sister Qingliu, don't talk about it." ”
At this time, the sun in the east had gradually moved to the west, and the daylight was not as hot as at noon, but several people inexplicably noticed a cold sweat on their backs. A large cloud of fire appeared in the distant sky, which seemed to be mercilessly burning their last psychological defense.
The third princess secretly said that she was unlucky in her heart, but she only listened to Ji Qingliu's one-sided words, and felt that this Shen Qiaoan must be an arrogant and unreasonable person.
Now that they are going head-to-head, Shen Qiaoan will be speechless with just a few words.
The third princess's face was a little unbearable, she turned her head and glanced at Ji Qingliu, "Qingliu, what she said is the truth?" Speak boldly to me, and if she is what you say, I will go back and accuse my father of condemning her!" ”
The third princess's gaze forced Ji Qingliu to step forward, and she asked for help to look at Ji Qiaohui who was standing on the opposite side. They are really biological sisters, and if she is really wrong, her sister should not let it go.
"That's right, Qingliu! Hurry up and tell me the cause and effect of this matter, I see what else you have to say as a lady Shen! Li Xiaoyue couldn't stand being looked down upon the most, she said toughly.
Shen Qiao'an's dark eyes moved, and the dazzling face coupled with these soul-like eyes made people feel a move in their hearts at first glance, and there was a lot of pity.
