Chapter 321: You are viewing me a little too highly
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat TranslationWhen Ge Chunru heard Shi Qingluo address her like this, not only did her expression change, she even trembled in anger.
She said with a sullen face, “Shi Qingluo, no matter what, I’m still your elder. Don’t go too far.”
Shi Qingluo chuckled. “That’s right, so didn’t I address you as Sister Ge?
“What’s wrong with that?
“Aren’t you my ex-father-in-law’s niece? According to seniority, I didn’t address you wrongly!”
Ge Chunru choked. “You, you…”
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say to refute.
Her voice became softer. “Shi Qingluo, that’s enough. If this continues, it won’t be good for us. All of us will be humiliated.”
It could also be considered as a form of surrendering.
She couldn’t take it anymore as everyone looked at her to size her up.
Shi Qingluo shrugged. “Sister Ge, I’m not even close to you. What’s there to make a scene about?
“Your reputation isn’t good. It’s your business to be embarrassed. I still have my reputation.”
This point struck a sore spot in Ge Chunru.
Who was the reason why her reputation was so bad today?
Wasn’t it all because of this little slut.
“You!” She was furious.
Shi Qingluo pouted. “I hit the nail on the head. You have nothing to say. You only know how to say ‘you, you, you’?”
Ge Chunru said coldly, “Don’t call me Sister Ge. You are viewing me a little too highly.”
Shi Qingluo smiled and asked back, “Then what about Little Lady Ge?”
This young lady was really talented.
These two titles were perfect.
When the others heard this term, they couldn’t help but laugh.
Needless to say, Little Lady Ge sounded pretty good.
A woman like Ge Chunru, who was shameless enough to frame one’s first wife, might not even be as good as the women in the brothel.
After all, many of the women in the brothel were involuntarily sold to the brothel.
Those who came to attend the flower feast were all the first wives.
No one brought a concubine to attend, and no one would like to see a concubine or a mistress.
Therefore, they were very disgusted by Ge Chunru’s behavior.
Ge Chunru was speechless, she shouldn’t have come today. She should have gotten a servant girl to keep an eye on her plan.
She took a deep breath and said, “I am not related to you, so you can just call me Madam Xiao like everyone else.”
Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. “You’re just a concubine, yet you have the nerve to let your daughter-in-law call you Madam Xiao. You are really thick-skinned.
“Let alone when you break off your marriage. Even if you haven’t broken off your marriage, it won’t change your lowly status as a concubine.
“One’s virtue doesn’t match one’s position. This is referring to people like you.”
Ge Chunru was so angry that she wished she could strangle the arrogant and despotic Shi Qingluo to death.
She picked up her teacup and took a sip.
With a cold face, she said, “I can’t be bothered to talk to people like you.”
Shi Qingluo pouted. “When you can’t win, then you can’t be bothered to talk to people like me.
“I married my husband in a clean and innocent manner, and I have never been his mistress or concubine, much less harmed his own mother. What’s wrong with a person like me?”
Ge Chunru thought to herself, why is the little slut’s mouth so sharp?
She was completely speechless from the sarcasm.
She really couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up. “Say whatever you want. I’m going to go admire the flowers.”
If she continued to sit down, she wondered how this little slut would continue to mock her.
She hated being laughed at by everyone.
After saying that, she immediately left with her servant girl before Shi Qingluo could continue to mock her.
Shi Qingluo had an innocent look on her face. “My ex-father-in-law’s concubine has a really bad temper. She dares to do something but doesn’t dare to let others say it.”
Xi Rong continued, “Aren’t all shameless women like this?
“Where are you going in such a hurry?” She knew Shi Qingluo’s plan, so she asked on purpose.
Shi Qingluo took it over and said, “Yeah, those who don’t know would think that General Xiao is here and she’s in a hurry to meet him.”
The ladies and madams present wanted to laugh when they heard this, but they also felt that Ge Chunru’s hasty departure was a little strange.
The main host of this flower feast, the second madam of the public administrative house, was still welcoming guests.
She hadn’t come over to host the opening ceremony yet, so why did Ge Chunru run over to admire the flowers first.
Very soon, the second madam appeared with her sons and daughters-in-law.
She started chatting with everyone.
Then, she found an empty seat. “So, who sat there? Why hasn’t I seen this person for such a long time?”
Every time someone arrived, her servant girl would arrange for them to be seated.
There were as many seats as the number of attendees, so there wouldn’t be any empty seats.
Someone who didn’t like Ge Chunru smiled and said, “It’s General Xiao’s wife.”
Someone else added, “She said that she wanted to admire the flowers, so she went by herself first.”
The second madam was a little displeased when she heard that.
Ge Chunru was really ridiculous.
She as the host hadn’t even come to preside over the ceremony, so why did she go and admire the flowers first.
However, she didn’t show it on her face.
“Madam Xiao’s identity isn’t simple, and her behavior is also different from the others.” These words were full of sarcasm.
If not for her son saying that since all the fourth grade and above madams had been invited and it wouldn’t have been good for her not to send an invitation to the Xiao family, she wouldn’t have gotten someone to send an invitation to the Xiao family.
After all, there was no need to make an enemy with Xiao Yuanshi.
Moreover, Ge Chunru’s reputation was so bad right now, so she might be too embarrassed to participate.
She didn’t expect that Ge Chunru was so thick-skinned and had such a bad reputation but still had the face to come.
She smiled. “Since she went to admire the flowers first, then I won’t bother. Let’s drink some tea before admiring them.”
The others naturally agreed.
On the other hand, a servant walked to Zheng Tongfeng’s side and stuffed a paper ball into his hand.
Zheng Tongfeng hurriedly hid the paper ball in his sleeve and left temporarily, citing the excuse of going to the toilet.
When he opened the paper, he saw that there was a location written on it.
He thought that Ge Chunru’s servant girl had sent someone to deliver it, meaning that she wanted him to go to this place to destroy Xiao Baili’s innocence.
Thinking of that fierce woman with a whip, he felt a little disgusted.
He still liked a gentle and delicate woman who treated him as the heaven.
He kept the paper ball in his arms and headed to the place specified above.
Didn’t Xiao Baili look down on him before? Now he wanted her to beg him to marry her. Hmph.
When he arrived at the location, he saw a woman in pink sitting under a pear blossom tree not far away.
Zheng Tongfeng walked over quietly.
At the same time, the second madam and the other madams and young ladies also started to stroll around the garden and were walking over.
Ge Chunru sat under the big tree with an unsightly expression.
She had sent a servant girl to look for Zheng Tongfeng and told him to make preparations so that he would not think of running away at the last minute.
After Xiao Baili strolled around the courtyard alone, she would get someone to find an opportunity to lure Xiao Baili to the place where the servants who were taking care of the garden lived.
When Xiao Baili was in a daze, she would then get her servant girl to send a message to Zheng Tongfeng.
After the two of them began in the room, she would run out in a panic on purpose to meet the other madams who were admiring the flowers.
Then, she pretended to have something to say to Shi Qingluo.
On the surface, it seemed like she was trying to cover it up, but it would arouse everyone’s curiosity.
In the end, they followed her to take a look.
When everyone saw Xiao Baili, whose innocence had been ruined by Zheng Tongfeng, they wanted to see how Shi Qingluo could still be arrogant and sharp-tongued.
Especially when Zheng Tongfeng made another false accusation, saying that Xiao Baili was the one who seduced him.
She was really looking forward to seeing how Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili, these two little bitches, would react and be despised by everyone.
