Real Empress from a Noble Family Chapter 245 - Wanted to Get Out? Got Out with Scars!

Chapter 245 Wanted to Get Out? Got Out with Scars!

Since Jiang Qiyun was already there, Xin Fubing and Qiu Yelan couldn’t avoid seeing her. They went to the Flower Hall together. Just when they went in, Jiang Qiyun said with sarcasm, “Oh. You guys were nowhere to be seen for such a long time. I thought you guys were not going to come!”

Qiu Yelan didn’t think much of her anyway. Now that she had married into the Jiang Family. She didn’t need to be concerned about Jiang Qiyun’s status as the Jiang Family’s daughter like before. So, she said flatly, “You are here without notice. We didn’t expect you. And we were afraid that we would be neglecting you coming out untidily. We had to tidy up. Are you unhappy because of it?”

Jiang Qiyun looked at her stunning face. Her face went dark, “You have become ornerier after being the daughter-in-law of our family! Can’t I even tease a bit? Who do you think you are? Are you so precious?”

“What you said is inappropriate!” As Jiang Qiyun scolded her directly, Qiu Yelan surely didn’t have nice things to say to her. She smiled slightly and showed contempt, “As the saying goes, married daughters are like spilled water. How can you count yourself as a member of our family now? Since you are not our family member, how can you call me ‘daughter-in-law of our family’? Do you still think of yourself as our family member instead of the royal family member? It’s inappropriate. Even if Prince of Qi doesn’t mind it because of his good temper, others will ridicule our family’s daughters if the words get out!”

“You!” Jiang Qiyun didn’t expect that she would dare to talk back to her directly. She was so furious. Out of rage, she lifted up her dress and grabbed a bottle beside her. She was about to hit Qiu Yelan, “You ignorant b*itch! How dare you talk to me like that!”

Seeing this mess, Xin Fubing asked people to stop her in a hurry, “Qiyun, calm down! We are a family. We hardly get to see each other. Why do you have to do this? Can’t we just talk nicely?”

She was about to persuade Qiu Yelan to apologize to avoid them really getting into a fight. However, Jiang Qiyun pointed the bottle at her all the sudden and rebuked, “You are no better! Why didn’t you say something when Qiu was rude to me? You are mediating now when I’m about to hit her? It’s obvious that you guys are in it together. Why? Aunt picked you to be the Seventh Prince’s wife and you are about to become the future Crown Princess. You think you are such a big deal now and despise me?”

“How dare I despise you?” Xin Fubing had been in a bad mood during those days. Besides, marrying the Seventh Prince was a compromise. She didn’t want others to mention it. Not only did Jiang Qiyun mention it, but she also acted like “you only dare to despise me because you are about to marry the Seventh Prince”. It was like stabbing her in the heart with a knife!

How could Xin Fubing not get angry? She sat back down directly and said with a sneer, “Fine. Since you think I shouldn’t meddle, then I won’t stop you. Go on… But don’t blame me for telling the truth when the elders ask!”

Idiot! I asked you not to commit an outrage for your sake! If you weren’t the daughter of the Jiang Family’s first branch, I promised you that Yelan’s killing you was as easy as winking!

Because of Zhuang Man, Xin Fubing and Qiu Yelan also became close friends. They had some idea of each other’s personality and strong suit. Qiu Yelan didn’t hide her fighting capacity on purpose in front of them. How could Xin Fubing not know that if Jiang Qiyun went to hit Qiu Yelan, she would be the one who suffered?

So, she asked people to stop Jiang Qiyun. Although she was afraid that it would be hard for Qiu Yelan to deal with the consequence if the situation escalated, she also thought of Jiang Qiyun. However, Jiang Qiyun didn’t appreciate it and she even vented her anger on her!

“Go and hit her! You should consider yourself lucky that Yelan doesn’t beat you to death!” Xin Fubing thought with a poker face, “When the elders ask about it, I’ll speak up for Yelan anyway! It’s true that you come to us today. If something happens, you will be the one to blame! Besides, the elders want me to marry the Seventh Prince. As long as it’s not a big deal, they’ll take my opinion into account! Let’s see who loses out in the end!”

Jiang Qiyun was always arrogant and imperious. How could she stand the provocation? She held the bottle up high without further ado and was about to smash it on Qiu Yelan’s head. Out of rage, she was about to hit Qiu Yelan without mercy. She didn’t think about the consequence at all. The servants who followed her there were scared out of their wits!

“Princess, please don’t!” The senior maid was so scared that she dropped to her knees before Jiang Qiyun. She held Jiang Qiyun’s legs tightly to stop her from going forward, “Madame Qiu is Young Master Yashuang’s wife. You can’t hit her!”

What Qiu Yelan said was mean. But it was the truth. Jiang Qiyun who was married was an outsider now. Qiu Yelan on the other hand was a real member of the Jiang Family after marrying into the Jiang Family. So, if Jiang Qiyun hit Qiu Yelan, it equaled to humiliating the Jiang Family! A married woman being mean to one’s maiden family was a great taboo. It was burning her boat!

Besides, Qiu Yelan’s husband Jiang Yashuang wasn’t that kind of person who would let his wife suffer losses. How old was he when Jiang Qiyun trying to kill Jiang Qizheng? He was able to make Jiang Qiyun not able to stay in the Jiang Family. Jiang Qiyun had to hide in the Dou Family. He only let it go after a lot of elders comforting him. So, how could she hit Madame Yelan of the Jiang Family?

While the senior maid was crying and yelling, a clever servant had already taken the bottle away. They all persuaded Jiang Qiyun while crying.

However, no matter how they winked and gesticulated, Qiu Yelan and Xin Fubing who were nearby were drinking tea leisurely. They had no intention of giving her a way out of this.

Were you kidding me? You were the one who came to look for trouble. You were the one who picked the fight. And you also the one who made a scene. Now you wanted us to help you out of the mess? You really thought the whole world was the mud under your feet except yourself. And you could step on it any way you wanted?

“We’ll do nothing and say nothing. Let’s see how you can get yourself out of this,” Qiu Yelan and Xin Fubing exchanged a knowing look. They both ignored the plea and hint coming from the servants of Prince of Qi’s Mansion.

Jiang Qiyun wouldn’t quit while she was ahead because of her temper. Provoking by their att.i.tudes, she was hopping mad! She lifted her dress up and kicked the senior maid who stopped her from approaching Qiu Yelan away. She screamed, “She is the wife, so what? There will always be virtuous ladies who are willing to marry sons of the Jiang Family! Qiu Yelan, you b*tch. Now that you and Xin Fubing are friends. So, you think you can treat me slightly? Even I’m married, I’m still the Jiang Family’s kid. You can be arrogant to outsiders with your ident.i.ty as the daughter-in-law of the Jiang Family. But it’s useless to me.”

“There are so many the Jiang Family’s kids. You are not so rare!” It was mean. Qiu Yelan and Xin Fubing put down their teacups together. They were about to talk back. A clear and familiar voice came from the door all the sudden, which kept scolding, “As the wife of a prince, Tang Xinyao is gentle and virtuous. And she is pregnant. You are not gentle or virtuous. And you don’t have children. Moreover, you always mess with your own family! You really bring shame on Her Majesty! Fubing, don’t learn from her. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager’s clique will laugh their heads off!”

Of course, it was Zhuang Man who could say so unbridled and mean words. Qiu Yelan and Xin Fubing didn’t have time to mind Jiang Qiyun who was hopping mad at that moment, “Why are you here?”

“My family ask me not to bother you because you are just married. But I heard that you were staying in the Summer Palace which meant that you were not with Yashuang. So, it’s okay for me to visit you,” Zhuang Man grinned, “Besides, I haven’t seen Cousin Xin for a while. Cousin, why do you look so terrible?”

Zhuang Man stopped smiling after she got a clear look at Xin Fubing’s face. She turned to Jiang Qiyun at once, “How dare you p.i.s.s Cousin Xin off like this! If you were so awesome, go pick a fight with Princess Yan or Shou’an. You only can bully your own family. Aren’t you a loser?”

“Shut up! B*tch!” If Jiang Qiyun hadn’t been dragged by her servants, she would surely have rushed forward and died with them!

However, Zhuang Man didn’t come alone. She and the Empress weren’t directly related. And she wasn’t qualified to walk round in the Summer Palace alone. Nijin led her there. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Nijin made a prompt decision. She approached and said, “Princess Qi, you are here? Her Majesty was looking for you just now. Could you follow me?”

Jiang Qiyun was in a fit of anger. How could she obey?

But her maids were longing for a chance to get out of the mess. They didn’t care if it was true and agreed on her behalf in a hurry. They held Jiang Qiyun in their arms and pushed her towards outside, “Princess, you just visited Her Majesty. And Her Majesty wanted to see you again. I’m afraid it might be something important… Princess, you’d better hurry to avoid keeping Her Majesty waiting!”

After Jiang Qiyun got dragged out by a concerted effort, Zhuang Man stamped her feet and said angrily, “We just let her go like that?”

“We can’t beat her to death, can we?” Qiu Yelan poured a cup of tea for her and waved a circular fan. She said with a smile, “We were ignoring her and wanted to see how she could get herself out of the mess. Your coming here gave her a ready-made opportunity.”

If Zhuang Man hadn’t come, Nijin wouldn’t have come either. Without Empress Jiang’s close maid interfering, how could Jiang Qiyun get dragged away so easily considering how mad she was? With her personality, she surely wouldn’t leave in disgrace… But she was not on the right side of the conflict. And she wouldn’t get the upper hand during the fight either. If she wanted to get herself out of the mess then, she would get out with scars.

However, Zhuang Man came, and Nijin dragged her away on the pretext that the Empress summoned her. Even if she would be scolded by the Empress, it would be in private.

“I see,” Zhuang Man was enlightened after hearing what happened and she regretted it so much, “I shouldn’t have let Nijin walk me in. I should have sent her away at the door.”

“How much do you want to see Jiang Qiyun make a fool of herself?” Qiu Yelan laughed out loud, “Enough about her. Let’s talk about business. The Empress Dowager also invited Gu E’nuo and others to live here. Princess Changping just left. She sent us an invitation. She invited us to go to Gu E’nuo’s birthday party in a few days. Who knows what they’ve got in store for Cousin Xin?”

Zhuang Man demanded eagerly, “Can I come? I want to help Cousin Xin!”

Xin Fubing watched Jiang Qiyun making a scene with a gloomy face, but she couldn’t help bursting into laughter at that moment and said, “They didn’t invite you. If I take you there, I’m afraid you will be the first one getting ridiculed. I wonder who will need help then?”

“What does that matter? I’ll ask them for an invitation later,” Zhuang Man objected, “Besides, the Summer Palace doesn’t belong to Gu E’nuo. I got Her Majesty’s permission to come here… Who give her the right not to entertain me?”

“You can ask. But will they give you?” Xin Fubing said with a smile, “Never mind. We’ll go together. We are going to have a fight anyway. Why care so much?”

Zhuang Man said, “Why can’t I get the invitation? If they refuse to give me, I’ll say that you and Yelan won’t go unless I come along. It’ll work, right?”

“Your moral integrity really is…” Qiu Yelan was frustrated. She was about to judge her. Zhuang Man suddenly said, “Right. Why is Jiang Qiyun here? I went to visit Her Majesty just now. But I didn’t get to see her. A maid came out and consented me to come here. She said that the Seventh Prince and Yashuang just asked to meet the Empress. So, the Empress sent Jiang Qiyun who she was meeting with away and summoned them in. Normally, Jiang Qiyun should wait outside the hall and see if the Empress would see her again after she has done the meeting with Yashuang. Why did she come here?”

Qiu Yelan was a little surprised, “I don’t know! She was mean the minute she got here. That’s why we had a fight.”

Xin Fubing sneered, “I think she must have been scolded by the Empress. She came to us to vent her anger!”

Zhuang Man mused, “I’m afraid not. Jiang Qiyun is afraid of Her Majesty after all. If she struggled as possible as she could just now, those servants might not be able to drag her out. It’s clear that she acted like she refused to leave. But she was afraid that being late would make Her Majesty unhappy… How could she dare to sneak out and come here to make a scene while the Empress was meeting with others?”

That was true. Jiang Qiyun was already afraid of the Empress. After becoming Princess Qi, Empress Jiang made her life miserable with all the disciplines. Now she was almost as well behaved as Princess Changping in front of the Empress.

She got summoned to the palace by the Empress. Halfway through their meeting, the Empress sent her away because the Empress needed to meet others. How could she dare to sneak away?

“In that case, although aunt sent her away when she heard that Yashuang asked to meet her, she also has finished talking to Jiang Qiyun?” Qiu Yelan speculated, “However, what they said might have something to do with us. So, she came to us looking for trouble?”

“But how could Her Majesty cause you guys trouble?” Zhuang Man was confused.
