Chapter 217

I just made a few jokes, why did you make such a big deal out of it?

How pretentious!
It's just a small matter. It's not like you killed her parents. Is there any need to be so fussy about it?
Could it be that she wanted them to kowtow to her, admit their mistakes and apologize?
What's more, they were just talking about it here and didn't spread it outside. How could it be as serious as she said?

Isn't this just looking for trouble?
Everyone felt resentful, but they did not dare to show it on their faces. The resentment on their faces flashed away so quickly that it was almost difficult to detect.

Jiang Anning smiled, pretending she didn't notice the quarrel in everyone's expressions at that moment. She turned her head to look at Zi Su, half joking and half mocking, "Sister Zi Su, tell me, isn't this the truth?"

Zi Su avoided his gaze, smiled awkwardly, and looked around helplessly, wanting to ask for help from others.

However, she found that those people who had just spoken ill of Jiang Anning so happily were now all huddled aside like quails, not daring to look at her at all, for fear that the blame would be brought upon themselves.

She looked around, but no one came to help.

He swallowed and opened his mouth to explain, but found that no matter what he said at this moment, it would seem to confirm Jiang Anning's sophistry.

Not to mention, Jiang Anning had already spoken very seriously just now.

If the defense is not clear, the case will be reported to the authorities.

Naturally, they are not afraid of going to the government office.

To put it bluntly, the magistrate of Jiang'an County is just a ninth-rank minor official and he doesn't have the courage to interfere in the affairs of their wives. It's good enough to just respect him!

But the painful thing about this matter is that they are definitely not in the right.

In addition, Jiang Anning's eloquence, which can make a trivial matter as big as a watermelon, only makes them seem even more unreasonable.

But they couldn't do anything to Jiang An Ning.

If the case really goes to court, it will just be a waste of time and both sides will be given fifty lashes.

It is even possible that the county magistrate will be biased towards them and order Jiang An Ning to keep quiet.

After all, Mrs. An’s identity is here!
But for them, if the case really goes to court, it is no different from becoming a laughing stock. It is equally embarrassing and becomes the topic of conversation among others.

When her wife finds out, she will definitely be furious.

Even for her, who had followed someone for more than ten years and had worked hard even if she had no merit, she probably could not escape the fate of being sold out.

All this is thanks to Jiang Anning!
Zi Su was so angry that her heart ached. She didn't dare to vent her anger on Jiang An Ning. She glared at those people fiercely, blaming them for saying such unreasonable words. She was caught in the act and now it was impossible to get away with it even if she tried to be vague.

She completely forgot that if it weren't for her hint and instruction, how could these little maids dare to say such things?

It's not like they want to live longer, but they are just speaking nonsense and without any manners in front of guests.

"What are you talking about, Jiang Xiu Niang? I feel a little embarrassed to see you. We definitely don't mean that. You are a distinguished guest that my wife has personally asked us to take good care of!"

She laughed it off, trying to make a big deal out of a small matter.

"How could we not understand and make up a story about you? You really misunderstood us."

Jiang An Ning chuckled a few times: "Sister Zi Su, are you trying to accuse me of making trouble out of nothing and deliberately making things difficult for you?"

Zisu:……

She almost lost control of her expression and yelled hysterically: It's endless, isn't it? Are you really going to keep picking on their smallest mistakes and not let them go?

She doesn't even understand the principle of being merciful when she can... I really don't know why this wild girl is so lucky, to be appreciated by God, to be able to make a leap over the dragon gate and fly to the tree top to become a phoenix.

God is so unfair!

Zi Su gritted her teeth in hatred, almost breaking them, before she could barely suppress the anger that was surging in her heart and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"What Jiang Xiu Niang said is really unfair to us."

Zi Su explained dryly, and then said: "But this matter, it is indeed our fault, we should apologize to you."

She apologized but still maintained her condescending attitude.

Jiang Anning smiled and said nothing.

Shisu suddenly felt even more embarrassed.

She opened and closed her mouth again and again, but couldn't come up with any words to defend herself. In the end, she had to endure the pressure from Jiang An Ning and force herself to smile at him.

Then he turned around, walked up to the little maids who had just spoken ill of others, pulled one of them out, raised his hand, and slapped the person hard in the face.

She shouted angrily, "I told you not to talk nonsense! You have no manners! Is this how I teach you? You have brought shame to the lady!"

He slapped the maid several times in succession, making the fair and tender face of the little maid swollen. It was scary just to look at it.

Then he grabbed the man's hair and kicked him in the knee, knocking him to the ground. His palm rubbed on the blue brick, and a layer of blood instantly appeared.

"Why don't you apologize to Jiang Xiu Niang right now!"

Zi Su frowned and said something harsh to the crying maid, then looked up at Jiang An Ning and said, "If Jiang Xiu Niang refuses to forgive you, then I can't protect you!"

"We cannot keep such an unruly person in our house. You have committed a serious mistake today. I can only report to my wife and sell you to the lowest brothel!"

Every time she said something, she would look at Jiang An Ning. It was obvious that she was saying these words on purpose!

Jiang Anning's eyes and brows were cold and she looked very disdainful.

He is quite good at acting!
Unfortunately, she had seen such tactics countless times in the Zhao family in her previous life!
How could I be deceived again?
"Sister Zisu, you don't have to act with me here."

Jiang An Ning laughed and glanced at the pitiful and aggrieved little maid.

"If it is as Sister Zisu said, the rules in Gui Mansion are very strict, and those who are not aware of the situation will be sold out, and even to the most filthy places. How dare these people be so blatant and say those disgusting and vulgar words in front of me?"

She hit the nail on the head: "Under such strict rules, you dare to speak like this. It is obvious that someone secretly instructed you to do so."

"Sister Zisu said so, right?"

This rhetorical question made Zi Su even more at a loss. Her face turned blue and red in embarrassment, and her hands grabbed the corners of her clothes in confusion.

"Yes, yes, what Jiang Xiu Niang said is true."

Zi Su gritted her teeth and replied, feeling more and more annoyed, but she had to coax the other person in a gentle manner, hoping that the matter could be put behind her and never mentioned again.

Otherwise, if Mrs. An knew about this, she would be in real trouble.

But Jiang Anning didn't intend to let her go just like that.

"Since someone secretly instructed this, Sister Zisu shouldn't vent her anger on her!"

She looked at him with a fake smile: "To put it bluntly, she is just someone who works for others and follows orders." "Maybe she is in the middle of it and has to follow orders. How can someone who can't even control her own life and property be free to make decisions?"

Jiang Anning looked at people with a half-smile, his eyes were mocking and very sarcastic.

"Sister Zisu really needs to find someone to seek justice. She should find the person who is behind this girl's plan!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons? What's the point of just focusing on a small fry?"

Is this damn girl not done yet?

Do you really think of yourself as a thing?

Zi Su's face looked even uglier, with veins bulging on his forehead. He bit his lips hard, forcing himself to calm down.

After all, he was specially invited by Mrs. An, so we can't offend him easily.

What's more, this girl is really difficult to deal with now. She always goes to the government to seek justice, as if it is a glorious thing and she has no shame at all.

But the more this happened, the more helpless she became about this girl.

Jiang An Ning noticed that the person's breathing was gradually becoming faster and heavier, and his smile became deeper. He deliberately asked, "Sister Zi Su, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Zisu:……

"Mrs. Jiang Xiu Niang is right!" She took a deep breath and pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly.

She suppressed the rage boiling in her heart and did not show it on her face.

But the anger soon came back even more violently, burning her heart and making her hate Jiang Anning so much that her teeth were itching.

This girl is really someone who will push her further!

Please be kind to me, I really don’t know my own weight!
Zi Su sneered in her heart.

She has remembered today's grudge!
Just wait and see, sooner or later, she will teach this girl a lesson!
We’ll see!
Zi Su was secretly angry in her heart.

Jiang Anning looked at people with a faint smile. Although he had no idea what people were thinking, he could probably guess it from the subtle expressions.

She added fuel to the fire without any fear: "Then I'll trouble Sister Zisu to make the decision for me!"

Jiang An Ning stood up and bowed in a pretentious manner: "Please ask Sister Zi Su to help me find this person with ulterior motives, and then report his actions to Madam An."

Zi Su was just about to say something vague to get by.

Jiang Anning smiled and said first: "After all, Sister Zisu said something that I completely agree with."

"They dare to be so shameful and disrespectful in front of an outsider like me. Who knows how they will bully others and tarnish the image of our family outside!"

"People who bring disgrace to our family must not be allowed to stay here!"

Jiang Anning had a look on her face that said, "What I'm saying to you are all good things, I urge you to listen carefully."

Zi Su felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly, and he wished he could go up and cover the person's mouth.

But the more Jiang An Ning understood people's expressions, the more she stepped on people's minefields: "Otherwise, if he orders people to humiliate me today, it will be too late to regret it if he wants to harm Madam An and orders people in this mansion to do something treasonous and disrespectful in the future!"

"By then, not only will Madam An be implicated, but even Sister Zisu will probably die a miserable death!"

You will never die well!

You, a person who will bring misfortune to your entire family, actually dare to curse her!

Zi Su was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

But he couldn't say a word of rebuttal, and had to hold back his anger and smile at the others in a nice voice: "What Jiang Xiu Niang said is right! I will investigate it thoroughly! I will never let anyone with evil intentions endanger the peace of the mansion!"

She almost gritted her teeth to finish speaking these words.

Jiang Anning chuckled, looking like she was enjoying a good show: "Well, please?"

"I look forward to Sister Shiso's investigation results."

Then he was calm and composed, as if he wanted to wait until the person behind the scenes was found out before he would give up.

Zi Su felt as if her vision was darkening and she was extremely angry.

"I'll definitely look into it!"

She emphasized again: "Don't worry, Jiang Xiu Niang! Now, please don't delay your own business!"

"My eldest daughter's birthday is approaching. This birthday gift is carefully prepared by my wife and cannot be delayed!"

"Don't let these little things delay the progress, or else your reputation, Jiang Xiu Niang, and the Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop's reputation will be damaged, don't you think?"

Zi Su tried to persuade him in a very kind way, and his eyes clearly revealed one message: I'm putting it this way, don't be ungrateful!

Jiang Anning stared exaggeratedly, as if her eyeballs were about to pop out, and was full of disbelief: "What does Sister Zisu mean by this?"

"Little thing?"

She seemed to be heartbroken, tears welled up in an instant, her lips trembled slightly, and she looked like she couldn't bear the blow.

Zi Su's heart immediately skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.

She was so nervous that she couldn't even breathe smoothly. Her whole heart felt like it was being held by a red-hot iron hand, burning it black and festering. Her lips trembled as she opened her mouth to say something to stop Jiang An Ning.

However, Jiang Anning burst into tears in an instant, her eyes red, and she glared at Zi Su angrily: "Sister Zi Su actually said this is a trivial matter?"

She shouted at the top of her lungs: "I don't know who instructed these people to maliciously slander and frame me, saying that Sheng Yuewen's revenge killing was all because of me."

"Sister Zi Su is just saying it's a small matter, and is she going to let it go, saying this is such a hurtful and humiliating slander?"

Zi Su quickly said: "That's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?"

Jiang An Ning shouted, "Don't delay the progress because of these little things. It will ruin my reputation and the reputation of Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop. Isn't that what you just told me?"

The sweat on Zi Su's forehead became even thicker. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and strode towards Jiang An Ning.

"Don't come here!"

Jiang Anning suddenly picked up a pair of scissors beside her, pointed them at Zi Su, and warned her fiercely, "Don't come over here again!"
