Chapter 218 What's the situation with the heroine?
"Then isn't this Second Young Master a bit too much? After all, this is not something Miss Yang can choose."
“Maybe, but aren’t twins said to be telepathic?
That Second Young Master Yang has always said that his sister is not dead and has been looking for her all these years, so he is mean to Miss Yang, right? "
"Hey, he's a poor man too,"
"Who says it isn't?"
While everyone was discussing enthusiastically, the girl named Yingying remained silent.
"Hey, let's eat quickly, I want to win some more."
"Tsk, I'm full now, and I'm full of strength. You still want to beat me again? Dream on." Zhang Miaoyan said as he rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was ready for a big fight.
"Hey, Ningning, do you guys want to play? If so, I'll give you my seat." Zhao Feiyan, who spoke the least among the girls, asked cautiously.
Zhao Feiyan was the daughter of the Minister of Works, but the Ministry of Works was the least visible of the six ministries. Even though her father's position was a third-rank official, it could not be compared with the ministers of other departments.
Especially since Li Jingyi's father is from the Ministry of Personnel, which is the most prestigious of the six departments.
The Ministry of Personnel is the department responsible for managing the appointment and dismissal, promotion and demotion, honors and transfers of officials. For any official, the Ministry of Personnel is the place where "life and death" is decided. Of course, its status cannot be higher, so it is known as the "head of the six ministries."
The second highest-ranking official was the Ministry of Revenue, which was in charge of household registration and finance.
Without further ado, the Ministry of Revenue represents one word in the eyes of the people, that is, "wealth".
Land tax, customs duties, likin, public debt, currency, etc. were all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, which directly controlled the country's financial power.
Next is the Ministry of Rites, which is mainly responsible for managing the rituals of the five rites and the methods of imperial examinations.
To be honest, originally the Ministry of Rites was the "head of the six ministries" because it was responsible for the preparation and holding of major national ceremonies, as well as managing national academies, arranging imperial examinations, and even national diplomatic activities. Those were all jobs done by the Ministry of Rites.
The fourth department is the Ministry of War, which is mainly responsible for the selection of military officers and weapons.
The Ministry of War, as it is obvious, is directly related to the survival of any country, so everyone respects the people in the Ministry of War very much, needless to say.
The fifth department is the Ministry of Justice, which is mainly responsible for punishment.
The Ministry of Justice, a department that intimidates corrupt officials, is the highest authority in the court's criminal law. It is responsible for the trial and sentencing of all major cases, and also supervises officials on a regular basis.
The last one is the Ministry of Works, which is mainly responsible for construction projects.
The Ministry of Industry has the lowest status among the six ministries and is the most "despised" one.
In fact, to be honest, the Ministry of Industry is a purely technical department. It is not only responsible for official civil and water conservancy projects across the country, but also for the research and development of machines.
But now the war is gradually stopping, so he has become a "craftsman" in everyone's eyes.
The people in the Ministry of Industry are no different from "workers". They work everywhere all day long, so people look down on them. It really makes people feel angry about the Ministry of Industry!
But there is no way, this is the reality.
In fact, this was not the first time that Zhao Feiyan had come out to play with them, and they got along well every time, except that she did not like Bai Ningning's cousin very much.
Although Bai Ningning is a little arrogant, she is kind-hearted and has no bad intentions, so she still likes to be close to Bai Ningning.
"No need Feiyan, you guys play. Jingyi is not feeling well, I'll play for her later."
"What? I'm not feeling uncomfortable at all. I can still play," Li Jingyi suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked at each other in a bit of embarrassment.
"Aren't you feeling unwell? You're starting to talk nonsense.
I have also hired a doctor to see if there is anything wrong with your brain. I have prepared a car to take you back later."
"You! Bai Ningning, don't go too far. Why do you want to send me away? What right do you have to send me away? I can stay wherever I want.
Even if I wanted to stay in your house, no one would chase me away, don’t you know that?”
Li Jingyi completely disregarded the image she usually maintained and spoke to Bai Ningning provocatively.
"Hey, what's wrong? When there are elders around, you always call me cousin, but now there are no elders, so you just call me by my name.
Why don’t you pretend anymore? Aren’t you afraid that we will reveal your true identity?
Then what is the meaning of the image you have maintained for so many years? Is it because you are sick? "
"you!"
"If you are sick, you still need to get treatment early. You can't delay it.
I don't think it will take long, let's do it now."
Li Jingyi's face turned red with anger. Her originally fair cheeks seemed to be stained with a layer of red by anger, just like a ripe apple.
Her eyes widened with sparks of anger in them, and she didn't even bother to maintain the ladylike image that she usually took great care to maintain. Her furious look made people look at her sideways.
The other girls in the room were all dumbfounded, as if they were frozen in place, unable to move at all.
In fact, they had already vaguely sensed something strange deep in their hearts - Li Jingyi did not seem to be as dignified and graceful as her appearance showed.
This feeling was like a veil covering everyone, but because Li Jingyi had never had any bad image in the process of getting along with them,
And she always maintains the image of a lady.
But the daughter of a big family would not be unresponsive to some people or things.
But as long as it's not directed at them, no one would deliberately expose her.
However, at this moment, the veil on the surface was finally ruthlessly torn apart, revealing the truth hidden within!
"I won't leave, what can you do to me?"
"Don't want to leave? You have to leave even if you don't want to.
Come, send Miss Cousin back home."
In an instant, two tall and strong maids suddenly appeared in the room.
They stood there like two unshakable mountains, exuding an aura that people dared not provoke easily. Just a glance at them would tell you that these two were not good people.
Li Jingyi widened her eyes and stared at the two burly, strong and powerful women in front of her, feeling a surge of astonishment in her heart.
She was keenly aware that her cousin today seemed different from before, becoming particularly fierce and cold.
In the past, when faced with my provocations, my cousin would respond, but she never cared as much as she did today.
However, at this moment, from her cousin's stern eyes and tense expression, Li Jingyi clearly felt an unprecedented oppression, as if the entire air had solidified.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself: Is it because there are no elders around today that she doesn't want to pretend anymore?
"Bai Ningning, what are you going to do? If I don't leave, are you going to force me to go back?
Do you have the final say here? I came here to play, this is not your home, you have no right to chase me away, "
"You will know whether you have the right or not soon." Bai Ningning signaled the two sturdy women with her eyes.
Zhang Miaoyan looked at the situation and wanted to step forward to persuade them, but Yingying pulled her back and shook her head slightly at her.
It is obvious that these two cousins have conflicts all the time, but they are just trying to maintain appearances.
The two sisters probably don't get along with each other normally, but today they not only directed their anger at Sun Xinyan, but also spoke ill of Qian Duoduo.
Faced with such an arrogant and domineering person, Bai Ningning, who is usually spoiled, probably didn't bother with her cousin for the sake of her elders.
But after all, people's patience is limited. If you keep giving in and accommodating, it will only make the other party become more aggressive and make further demands.
The saying "When you have endured the most, you don't need to endure it anymore" may be due to this truth.
So it’s better not to get involved in the affairs between the two sisters.
Yingying signaled Zhang Miaoyan to look at Qian Duoduo and Sun Xinyan, only to see the two of them sitting there drinking tea calmly, as if they were oblivious to what was happening in front of them.
He didn't even think about saying anything good to his cousin for Bai Ningning's sake. It can be seen that he really hates Li Jingyi.
Zhao Feiyan didn't intend to intervene at all. This matter was actually not a big deal. It was just some quarrels between her sisters.
Maybe the two sisters will reconcile in the end, and the one who tried to stop the fight will become an outsider.
Therefore, not meddling in other people's affairs is also a form of self-protection.
