The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 26 Langjiu is a man with a sharp tongue and doesn’t care about the other person’s life or death
After hearing what Cui said, perhaps because he got a strong reassurance, Lang Zhengping's stern face finally relaxed a little. But when he thought of the death of Mr. Zhao, his brows furrowed again. He looked at Lang Jiuchuan who was in a daze and coughed.

Lang Jiuchuan was still wondering what the Gong family and Dao Gen were. She seemed familiar with them, but she couldn't remember them at all.

We still have to find the lost soul.

Only when she heard Lang Zhengping calling her did she come to her senses and look over.

Lang Zhengping looked at her and said, "There is an old saying that goes, 'Misfortune comes from the mouth.' Even if the curse is groundless and ridiculous, it is inevitable that you have said bad words, and it is also a taboo for most people. Not to mention that Mr. Zhao passed away suddenly, which can be said to be a prophecy. The Zhao family may not really have no ideas at all. If you know anything, you might as well tell us so that we can think of a way to deal with it and avoid enemies between the two families."

Lang Jiuchuan laughed: "Why don't you just say I have a bad mouth?"

Lang Zhengping's hand trembled, his beard around his mouth shook with anger, his eyes widened like bells, and he grabbed the tea lid in his hand and was about to throw it away as he usually did when scolding his son, but as soon as he moved his hand, he was held down.

He looked down and followed the direction of the man's hand. It was Fan, who shook her head and winked at him.

Be calm. You are just the uncle and it is not your turn to get angry. The person's biological mother is sitting here.

Lang Zhengping took a deep breath and endured it. He endured it so hard that his heart ached.

But Cui didn't let him down. As expected, she frowned and scolded him: "What's your attitude? How do you talk to your elders? Where is your upbringing?"

"Madam, that's a good question. What about my upbringing?"

Cui's face changed: "You!"

When Mrs. Fan saw that the two of them were quarreling, she quickly stood up and said, "Alright, alright, sister-in-law, calm down. The child is still young."

Cui's chest rose and fell, and her lips were pressed into a straight line.

Lang Jiuchuan felt bored, and looked at Lang Zhengping and said, "Don't worry about the Zhao family. They didn't do anything to me when they came today, and they won't bring this up again. Instead, they will thank me. Just wait."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, nodded slightly, and left.

Look at this nonchalant attitude. This kid is not only rebellious, but also a thorn in the side!

Lang Zhengwen, who had been silent, shook his head. This niece was really difficult to discipline. It would be a headache for him in the future.

But now is not the time to pay attention to Lang Jiuchuan. Family matters are more important.

"Brother, after what happened today, shouldn't everyone in the family keep their mouths shut? Otherwise, if it gets out, it will be bad for the Marquisate. If it gets to the ears of the royal family, I'm afraid they will think that our Marquisate is not well managed and has lost filial piety..."

Lang Zhengping tapped the table with his fingers, thought for a while, and said, "No, we won't cover it up. It doesn't matter if it gets out. Not only that, I will have to go to the palace and cry."

Everyone was stunned and a little confused.

"The crying child gets candy. The Lang family is already weak and declining. With the passing of my father, we are getting further and further away from the center of the court. Even so, there are still people who use such vicious means to deal with our Lang family. It is not too much to kill them all." Lang Zhengping said with a cold face: "It is common for powerful families and political enemies in the court to fight with each other, but using such a sinister and evil way is not tolerated by the royal family and is also a taboo."

Lang Zhengwen nodded.

"We should show weakness when we need to. Anyway, we have to mourn for a few years. We can use these years to keep a low profile and teach the next generation carefully." Lang Zhengping was a little lonely and sighed, "There is a huge gap in talent in our family. Without promising descendants to stand out, we will fail even faster."

Everyone was silent again.

Who says it isn't true? More than ten years ago, there was a rebellious young hero named Lang Zhengfan, but he didn't live past the age of thirty and passed away at a young age.

Now, in the generation of Lang Caimeng, there are more than ten daughters and sons, but none of them are really outstanding. Even Lang Caimeng, the eldest grandson, is only a juren, and he is already 21 years old. His grandson can be exempted from mourning for a year, but if he does not pass the imperial examination, can he be promoted to the fourth rank with the title of juren, no matter how good his political achievements are?
Lang Zhengping was in a heavy mood and said, "Pack up and I'll hand in the sign to the palace. This should be done as soon as possible."

"Yes." Lang Jiuchuan came out of the study and did not go to the mourning hall because she was weak.

All the way to the old lady's Kangshouyuan, she kept thinking about the words Gong family and Dao Gen. She always felt that she had heard them somewhere but couldn't remember where.

Ah, what a dead brain!

Lang Jiuchuan pulled her hair and stopped suddenly because someone jumped up to her.

Jianlan, who was following behind Lang Jiuchuan, was also startled. She subconsciously stopped in front of her and looked at the person opposite her vigilantly: "Who are you?"

Opposite him was a young man wearing coarse cloth, with his hair tied up with a cloth band, and handsome features. Perhaps because he almost bumped into someone, he seemed a little embarrassed, so he took two steps back, bowed and said, "My young master Liu Ming, I'm sorry."

Jianlan looked him over and frowned, "You are a student from the South Courtyard. Why are you here?"

Most of the powerful and wealthy in the capital have disciples, and the Kaiping Marquis Mansion is no exception. The South Courtyard of the mansion is specially provided for disciples and staff to live in. It has a single door, but they didn't expect that this person would walk into the main courtyard.

"I was planning to go and burn incense for the old marquis, but I took the wrong road." Liu Ming said with some shame, "I almost bumped into the young lady. I am really ashamed."

The following words were addressed to Lang Jiuchuan, and he bowed again as a gentleman.

Lang Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows, took a step forward, took a closer look, and said to Jianlan, "Have someone kick him out, don't let him go to the mourning hall and offend the old man."

Jianlan: “?”

Liu Ming stared at Lang Jiuchuan blankly. Why was it different from what he expected?

Lang Jiuchuan's face was full of disdain, and he sneered, "It's fine if you have evil intentions, but you still smell like a slut, and you dare to burn incense for the old marquis. Do you want to die?"

Liu Ming's heart was beating wildly, his face flushed, and he wanted to argue.

Lang Jiuchuan had no intention of listening to his nonsense and said to Jianlan, "Go quickly."

Jianlan cried out, but before she could move, Liu Ming said with a look of humiliation, "I just got lost. How can you insult me like this, young lady? It's true that I'm a student of the Marquis' Mansion, but I won't let anyone insult me."

Lang Jiuchuan laughed: "You rushed up here, aren't you just trying to climb the ladder? If you can't even stand this little insult, how can you climb the ladder? Do high officials in Wujing just want your trick of pretending to be mighty and unyielding?"

"you!"

Lang Jiuchuan left after he finished speaking. Jianlan called a servant and took him away.

Liu Ming was so angry that he jumped up and down. Before leaving for the South Courtyard, He Chao next door secretly laughed at him for his wild ideas, and sure enough, it turned out to be true.

But wasn't this Ninth Girl brought back from the countryside? How come she is even more difficult to deal with than the one who was raised in seclusion, and has a sharp tongue? It's true that she didn't receive a proper education when she grew up in the countryside.

When the place became quiet, several people walked out from the darkness.

Lang Zhengping said to the manager beside him: "Go check on Liu Ming, and kick out anyone who is suspicious."

"Yes."

Lang Zhengwen frowned and said, "Brother, did you listen to what Jiu Niang said and also think that the disciple wants to climb up the social ladder?"

Lang Zhengping snorted, "He got lost during the lighting hours. The little girl didn't believe it. How could you believe it? If it was a thin-skinned girl, she might have been fooled."

What a pity, I met someone who is so sharp-tongued and doesn't care about the other person's life or death, and I kicked a steel plate!
