After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 292 Quarrel

It seems the rumors are more than mere rumors.

Haitang looked at Tang Hui's eyes staring closely at Peng Yuqi. The dignified appearance on the surface could not hide the sharpness in her eyes. Even though she was polite and kind to both Zhou Wenjun and Peng Yuqi, in fact she was obviously very dissatisfied with the latter.

No matter how well-educated the nanny is, no matter how strict the etiquette training is, there is no way to suppress the surging emotions in a young girl.

Haitang thought of the two students she taught when she was a nun in the royal family's palace in her previous life. The older one could poison his teacher and benefactor with dignity and grace, while the younger one could steal national military secrets with an innocent smile. Just to please his sweetheart. Haitang could almost imagine how desperate Tang Hui's mother-in-law would be when she knew what she was thinking and doing.

Even if she carefully molded Tang Hui into an outstanding lady and a noble lady, she was just an empty shell. Tang Hui's true inner thoughts, as well as her original personality, cannot be easily changed after a few years of upbringing and training.

Haitang lowered her eyes and watched to see if she could say anything outrageous in front of the Zhou sisters and Peng Yuqi.

Tang Hui's question made Zhou Wenjun furious. His face, which had softened his expression, became serious again: "What do you mean? Who are you accusing?! What does this have to do with you?! You are Who is Jin Shan? Who is Yuqi? What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks here?!"

Tang Hui probably knew that what she said was very rude, but she still felt a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart. She stiffened her neck and said, "I have no other intention, I just can't help but fight against injustice." She stared at Peng Yuqi, seeming to insist on getting out of her mouth. Ask the reason, "Why didn't Ms. Peng answer my question? Could it be that...you really think that Mr. Jin is different from your family, so you look down on him? I really didn't expect that the Northwest Frontier Army There are also generals who look down on low-level military attachés. Your father was obviously promoted from a junior military attache, so why..."

Before she could finish speaking, Peng Yuqi interrupted her: "My father doesn't look down on anyone, and he is always willing to promote his generals. If Miss Tang doesn't know what's going on, it's best not to tell the truth."

Naturally, Tang Hui would not be satisfied with such an understatement. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhou Wenjun sneer from the side: "Isn't that right? The daughter of the Tang family actually accused others of looking down on low-level military attachés. It's really true. You are laughing so hard! Another Miss Tang just now rudely joked that we are both village girls who came back from the border countryside. We are not as well-educated and knowledgeable as the daughter of the Tang family! Before Miss Tang cursed others, she could Why don't you talk to your sister first? Otherwise, the sister just rightly accused others of looking down on others, and then the sister slaps her in the face, openly looking down on others, and it would be a joke to others. It’s really a disgrace to the people of Chang’an!”

Tang Hui suddenly blushed. Although she heard her sister Tang Lan's complaint and knew that her sister had a conflict with the eldest lady of the Zhou family and the girl of the Peng family, she didn't really ask her sister what exactly she said. She just assumed that the latter was just questioning about the marriage. It’s just Peng Yuqi. If my sister really said those words, it would really be a taboo. Her apology just now seemed too understated.

She quickly organized a response in her mind, and then said: "This is all a misunderstanding... My sister-in-law just said something that she shouldn't have said in a moment of anger. I have already apologized for her. If If you two are still dissatisfied, I will definitely escort her over later and apologize to you two personally. But... Mr. Jin is now lovesick, and we sisters really can't bear to see him continue to suffer, so we ask Miss Peng to reconsider. Since you have never despised the lintel of the Jin family, why..."

Zhou Wenjun interrupted her angrily: "What does this have to do with you?! You are not Yuqi's parents, so you still care about who she wants to marry?! What's so great about Jin Shan? Jin Yuqi He is such a loser, I really don’t know why so many people say good things about him! Since you think he is good and you hate Yuqi for being ignorant of praise, why don’t you marry him?!” Tang Hui blushed again, This time she blushed even more than before, even her eye circles were red, and her eyes quickly flashed with water: "You...Miss Zhou, what you said is too much!"

"Am I going too far?" Zhou Wenjun sneered, "How can I go as far as you?! The Jin family did not propose marriage to Peng Tongzhi at all. Only Jin Shan courted Yuqi frivolously and rudely, and spread some random fabricated words to the outside world. Ruining Yuqi's innocent reputation makes people mistakenly think that Jin Shanzhen is lovesick. It is a huge sin if others don't agree to marry him. Is this the way a serious person wants to marry?! It's just a frivolous prodigal playing with people's hearts. Thank you You are still the dignified lady praised by your elders, but you can't even see this, so you rashly accuse Yuqi. We Yuqi are good girls raised by upright and polite white people, so we will not eat this from you. It’s a set!”

Tang Hui's whole body was shocked, and then she tried to calm down. She regained her elegant ladylike airs and said, "Miss Zhou, what you said is wrong. We in-laws know very well that the Jin family has told Peng Tongzhi more than once We proposed marriage, but Peng Tong knew he shouldn't do it. Mr. Jin is so infatuated, how can he be frivolous? Please also ask Miss Zhou not to randomly arrange good people and ruin other people's reputation just because she is close to Miss Peng!"

Peng Yuqi stared at Tang Hui with a straight face: "So you know that my father will not agree to the Jin family's marriage proposal? Then why do you accuse me of not agreeing to the Jin family's marriage proposal? Do you still expect me to disobey my father's orders? Now Is this what you, Miss Tang, think I should do?"

Tang Hui was speechless and paused before saying: "I just... don't want you two to have any misunderstandings. It was a match made in heaven..."

Peng Yuqi didn't want to continue listening to her nonsense: "There is no perfect match. I don't have any misunderstandings about the Jin family. At most, I think they were a little indifferent to my late mother and ignored me. It wasn't until my father was promoted that he treated me differently. It's a bit too snobbish. But this is a matter of the Jin family and has nothing to do with my Peng family. But I don't want to marry Jin Shan, not because I dislike the Jin family or anything. I just think Jin Shan is not good and I don't like it. . My father doesn’t like Jin Shan either, and he has the same idea as me. Neither of us, father and daughter, want to agree to this marriage, and it’s useless for the Jin family to continue to pester. "

Tang Hui was about to speak, but was overtaken by Peng Yuqi again: "Don't pressure me with words about being filial to your mother. I have nothing to apologize to the Jin family. My mother was born in the Jin family, and I came all the way back after my grandmother became seriously ill. Waiting for illness. Grandma's illness is not serious. She just needs to call a doctor, take medicine and rest, and she will be cured. I don't know why none of my uncle, aunt, and cousins ​​can do it, and they have to wait for me to come back before they are willing to call. The doctor came to the house and asked my grandmother to take good medicine that could really cure her illness, rather than some random so-called supplements that would only harm her body. I waited on my grandmother until she recovered, and I thought I had fulfilled my filial duty. Anyone named Jin , you are not qualified to accuse me!"

At this point, she glanced at Tang Hui and saved one sentence: Someone whose surname is not Jin has no right to accuse her.

Tang Hui had no idea that the Jin family had neglected their duties regarding Mrs. Jin's condition, and had nothing to say at this time. She could only bite the bullet and stick to her original intention: "Mr. Jin is not the kind of person you said. Please don't misunderstand him. He is obsessed with you. You can't think that he is the same person just because of the words and deeds of other members of the Jin family."

Zhou Yijun, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but say: "Sister Tang, what's so good about Jin Shan? Why do you keep saying good things for him?!"
