The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 576 Extra Thank You Banquet (43)

Seeing everyone coming out, the competitive Qi Sheng covered his chest and forced himself to stand up.

The kick from Xie Zhiyan just now caused him internal injuries.

Soon, led by Madam Xie, Princess Rongyi and other noble ladies approached slowly, but their faces suddenly changed when they saw the large and eye-catching pool of blood on the ground.

Xie Zhiyan had a cold and arrogant air and dressed meticulously.

On the other hand, Qi Sheng was covered in dust and had blood at the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he was injured.

Why did these two people start fighting for no reason?

Everyone looked at the two of them with surprise and suspicion.

Princess Rongyi stepped forward and asked, "This is..."

His original intention was to ask Xie Zhiyan, but Qi Rou, a noblewoman from the Qi family, jumped out first and complained first.

She cried and played the victim, exaggerating the story by saying that Jiang Wantang deliberately let the prostitute Yun Shang seduce her third brother Qi Feng, and when the seduction failed, she came to bully her. Her eldest brother Qi Sheng happened to see it and stood up for her. She also said that Xie Zhiyan abused his power to bully them.

She also brought up the incident of Jiang Wantang slapping her by the lake again.

After saying this, she suddenly knelt down and cried bitterly: "Please judge for justice!"

As he spoke, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief, a vicious sneer on his lips.

Anyway, there is no evidence, but Jiang Wantang slapped her in public, it was real and everyone saw it.

The ladies and noblewomen present looked at each other, as if doubting the truth of her words.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of reputation, Xie's reputation is not even a little bit behind her Qi's, one is as far away as the other.

Princess Rongyi frowned, and her gaze towards Qi Rou instantly turned cold. She said in a deep voice, "Are all your words true?"

"Qi Rou never said a single lie. I hope the princess can understand!" Qi Rou said solemnly.

Seeing this, Qi Sheng felt more confident and showed everyone the injury on his chest.

For a moment, everyone began to believe it a little.

Xie Zhiyan sneered and curled his lips, his deep eyes filled with coldness.

Jiang Wantang didn't want to bring disrepute to the Marquisate's reputation, so she was about to speak when Old Madam Xie, the head of the family, came over and patted her arm with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Tang girl. Grandmother will take care of things for you."

The Marquis's wife also came over to comfort him: "Tangtang, don't worry, the Marquis's Mansion has your back and will definitely not let others bully you."

After saying that, Madam Xie walked towards Qi Rou, who was standing opposite her. She threw the cane in her hand heavily to the ground, making a metallic clang. The overwhelming aura around her shocked everyone present.

Qi Sheng couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood and almost fell down.

Madam Xie swept her dignified gaze over the two of them, her tone cold and solemn, "Where did you come from, these filthy creatures, to dare to come and bite my Marquis' Mansion!"

Qi Rou was so frightened that her whole body was shaking. She forced herself to say, "It was...you guys...who bullied me first..."

"Really?" Old Madam Xie looked at her sternly. "You're still a little immature in front of me. I can see through your dirty thoughts at a glance."

"You're just empty-mouthed. Do you think we can just let you throw mud at us if we can't produce any evidence?"

"Hmph, you don't overestimate your capabilities."

As she spoke, she sneered, looked at Xie Zhiyan behind her, and called out, "Ayan..."

Xie Zhiyan understood what he meant and raised his hand slightly. Zhao Hu then came forward with several maids and servants from the princess's mansion.

Several people told each other what they had seen in the garden today, from Qi Rou slandering Jiang Wantang's reputation while admiring the flowers, to Qi Rou again attacking and slandering Jiang Wantang when the ladies fell into the water, and even hitting people but getting beaten back, to the brother and sister blocking Jiang Wantang's way just now, Qi Sheng attacked Jiang Wantang and was kicked away by Xie Zhiyan... They told him everything.

These words completely exposed the despicable and shameless nature of the Qi brothers and sisters.

What's more, the nonchalant Zhao Yi came out in person to testify for Xie Zhiyan, saying that he saw with his own eyes that Qi Sheng was about to hit the prince's wife by relying on his kung fu skills.

At this point, everyone present gasped.

These Qi siblings are truly arrogant. They dared to bully the Yong'an Marquisate and even turned the tables and slandered Xie Zhiyan, the most ruthless official in Dasheng...

Isn't this just courting death?

The people of the Qi family are so stupid and evil!

In an instant, everyone looked at the brother and sister with disdain and contempt.

Qi Rou was so panicked that she tried to argue, saying that the people from the Princess's Mansion and Xie Zhiyan had teamed up to slander them. But before she could finish her words, she was slapped back by Qi Sheng.

In this way, they would not only offend the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, but also the Princess' Mansion.

He's not that stupid.

Qi Rou was still not convinced and insisted that it was Jiang Wantang who slandered her, and even cursed Yun Shang.

At this moment, Madam Xie raised her cane and hit her, angrily scolding, "You uneducated thing!"

"You keep calling me a brothel girl. How noble are you?"

"Ms. Yunshang is now a member of my mansion. It's not your turn to talk nonsense here, you idiot!"

"Anyone who dares to bully my mansion will become an enemy of the entire Xie family."

"..."

Jiang Wantang watched this scene quietly. At the same time as she felt warm, a sour feeling rose in her chest.

It turns out that this is a real family.

It feels so good to have family protecting you, so... warm.

She didn't have to do anything to gain their favor and protection.

Qi Rou cursed in pain, and Qi Sheng was so angry that he covered Qi Rou's mouth with his hand.

However, it was too late when the big mistake was made.

Old Madam Xie announced publicly that she would completely cut ties with the Qi family in the future. Princess Rongyi also publicly stated that she would no longer have any dealings with the Qi family and ordered people to kick out all the people from the Qi family.

To offend Xie and Princess Rongyi is to offend the entire prominent family in Shengjing.

After the banquet, as soon as Jiang Wantang and his companions entered the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, Duke Qi ordered Qi Rou and Qi Sheng to come in person to apologize. To show his sincerity, he handed the two men over to the Marquis' Mansion for disposal, to kill or cut them into pieces, all at the Duke's discretion.

Before he could even enter the gate, he was kicked out by the people from the Marquis' Mansion.

The attitude is very clear, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully.

Before evening, word spread in the capital that the Qi family's third son, Qi Feng, had been deposed outside the capital. The Qi family had sent Qi Rou to a brothel, and Qi Sheng had resigned from his official position and left the capital...

However, at this moment, Xie Zhiyan, who was in the Dali Temple, raised the corners of his lips and looked cold when he heard Zhang Long's report.

Zhang Long said, "Sir, Qi Sheng has already left the capital. Should we still take action?"

Xie Zhiyan sneered: "Of course!"

"This Duke Qi is truly an old fox. Did he think I would let him go if he sent the man away?"

"Humph, soon all nine clans of the Qi family will be able to gather together in the underworld..."

When Xie Zhiyan finished dealing with the affairs of the Dali Temple and returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it was already dark.

At that time, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

The night is like water, the evening breeze is gentle...

Jiang Wantang sat alone in the yard, staring at the moon in the sky, lost in thought. There were several empty wine jugs on the stone table.

Xie Zhiyan saw this scene from a distance and frowned subconsciously.

He walked towards Yun Shang, who was waiting in the corridor, and asked, "Madam, has something happened that makes you feel down?"

Yun Shang shook her head and said worriedly, "Sister has been in a bad mood since she came back from the Princess's Mansion. She didn't even eat dinner and just said she wanted to be alone."

Xie Zhiyan's eyes darkened slightly, and he said calmly, "You go down and rest first, I'm here."

Yun Shang bowed and left.

Xie Zhiyan walked towards Jiang Wantang in the courtyard. The moonlight stretched his figure outward, and his dark purple brocade robe swept across the crabapple petals scattered on the ground, making a subtle rustling sound...
