Chapter 266 Only magic can defeat magic
Zhai Rongyu: ...
"But this is what you asked for!"
I won't hold back!
She was already seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it, and when she remembered that Wei Wenshu was after Zhai Jiqing, she immediately kicked her.
Zhai Jiqing deliberately let out an "ouch".
But I found it funny to myself.
The younger sister is incredibly strong, but she didn't use much force with this kick; she must be feeling sorry for her second brother!
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but shout "Ouch!" even more joyfully.
Zhai Rongyu's lips twitched.
Second brother, could you be any more fake?
She had endured it for a while, but couldn't stand his clumsy acting any longer, and raised her voice to shout:
"Scream! Keep yelling!"
"It must be because you didn't take good care of Sister Wei. She came to visit many times, but you ignored her because of the strict separation of men and women!"
She invited you to go boating on the lake, but you didn't go!
"She asked you to compose a poem, but you didn't!"
"Even these priceless writing implements are eagerly delivered to me, just so you can write a word for her!"
"You're so clueless about romance, like a stone!"
"No wonder Sister Wei got a heart attack and was so angry that she fainted!"
Upon hearing this, the Duchess of Wei's old face turned as red as a pig's liver.
Doesn't this imply that Shu'er disregarded the proper boundaries between men and women and actively pursued Zhai Jiqing?
If word gets out, I'll be branded a dissolute person!
Where can the Duke's mansion put its face now?
"What nonsense are you talking about!" She looked around nervously, and seeing that quite a few servants had gathered to watch, her face flushed red. She retorted, "How could Shu'er do such an outrageous thing!"
Although these matters were all discussed and decided together by her and Shu'er.
We absolutely must not let the servants spread rumors, lest it ruin Shu'er's reputation and implicate the Duke's mansion.
Zhai Rongyu: "Shuang'er! Bring me the writing implements!"
"Yes! Miss!"
Shuang'er rushed over, carrying a set of writing implements.
Zhai Rongyu looked at the Duchess of Wei, sneered, and said, "This treasure is worth a thousand gold pieces. Our Minister's Mansion has always been frugal, and we are apprehensive about using it. Please, Duchess, take it back!"
Shuang'er stuffed all the writing implements into Long Qianxue's arms.
Long Qianxue tossed it to the servant beside her with a dark expression.
When the Duchess of Wei saw the set of writing implements, her expression changed drastically, and she staggered back two steps.
Oh no, this is a done deal now.
She glanced at the faces of the people around her and saw that they were all whispering among themselves. Suddenly, she screamed in anger and embarrassment.
"You! You're going too far!"
"How dare you slander my Shu'er like this! My master will not let you get away with this!"
She clutched her handkerchief, pointing at Zhai Rongyu and Zhai Jiqing, her fingertips trembling with anger.
To everyone's surprise, with just that one finger, Zhai Jiqing fainted on the spot.
"Second brother! Second brother, what's wrong with you, second brother!"
Zhai Rong, barely suppressing a laugh, squatted down and pinched Zhai Jiqing's philtrum, "Second Brother! Wake up! How could you have been so angered by the Duchess that you fainted!"
She turned to look at the Lady of Wei, and said angrily:
"The Lady of the Duke of Wei, a woman of such high status, came to the Minister's residence to slander the County Princess and threaten the Minister's son. Verbal attacks were one thing, but she even tried to physically assault him!"
"I will definitely appeal to His Majesty and demand an explanation from the Duke's Mansion!"
When Lady Wei saw that Zhai Jiqing's face was pale, she also felt a little panicked.
"What does this have to do with me!"
Zhai Rongyu gave a cold laugh, "So many eyes are watching! Does the Duchess still intend to deny it?"
"My second brother was clearly angered to the point of fainting by you!"
The Duchess of Wei trembled with anger. "It's clearly his own fault for being useless and weak! How can you blame me for that?"
"I didn't even touch him!"
Zhai Rongyu stood up and sneered, "The Duchess really does have two standards, one for herself and one for others."
"Your daughter fainted because of me, but my second brother fainted and it has nothing to do with you."
Why don't you say that Wei Wenshu brought it on herself?
"Besides, Wei Wenshu's incident happened at the Duke's mansion, and it's still unknown whether it has anything to do with me. But my second brother fainted right under your nose!"
You can't deny it!
"He's about to take the imperial examination. If something happens to him, can your Duke's mansion bear the responsibility?"
[Hmph, the only way to deal with a scoundrel like this is with scoundrel methods.]
Only magic can defeat magic.
She glanced at Zhai Jiqing on the ground.
[It's a good thing my second brother came up with such a wicked idea.]
The Duchess of Wei was furious, "You're just making excuses!"
"I haven't even settled accounts with you for my daughter Shu'er's coma, and you've turned around and tried to harm me! You're so young, yet you have such a vicious heart!"
"She's such a country bumpkin, she has absolutely no manners!"
Zhai Rongyu picked at her ear.
"It's always the same old words. If you want to swear, there's nothing new to say."
"What? Is it that you, my lady, are so invincible that you can only attack the places I've been? Does your Duke's Mansion look down on peasants and commoners, thinking that those from the countryside are inherently uncultured and unworthy to stand with you?"
"Very well, I'm going to report this to the Emperor, saying that you are arrogant because of your great achievements and completely disregard the people!"
The Duchess of Wei turned deathly pale with fright.
Such a big hat, what would happen if someone put it on?
His Majesty is currently overjoyed that the Third Prince has cultivated Rouge Rice. If the matter of the Duke of Wei's family looking down on farmers were to be reported now, would the Duke's family still have any good days left?
She was caught in a dilemma, unable to argue or not, and in a fit of anger, she nearly fainted.
She stumbled back two steps, but Long Qianxue couldn't catch her.
The Duchess of Wei turned her head and slapped her hard, venting all her anger on her. "You blind fool! What are you good for!"
Long Qianxue covered her face in disbelief and glared at her fiercely.
"You dare look at me like that!" the Duchess of Wei roared. "Do you think you can talk back? I'll tear your mouth off when we get back!"
Long Qianxue's anger surged.
She has always been of noble birth; she has never been treated like this before.
For a moment, he forgot what he looked like now that he was Yin Xin, and raised his hand and slapped the Lady of Wei Guoguo as well.
"You old fool, you think you're worthy to hit me!"
"Rebellion... they've all rebelled!" The Duchess of Wei's eyes widened, she covered her face, so angry she could barely speak. "Yinxin, have you gone mad?!"
How dare a lowly maid lay a hand on her mistress!
It's the other way around!
Just as she was about to lash out, she met Long Qianxue's gaze and, for some reason, felt a little scared. She took two steps back, trembling, and pointed at everyone present.
"Great! Excellent!"
"You all just wait and see!"
She was furious and turned to leave.
Long Qianxue stared at her retreating figure, a murderous glint flashing in her eyes.
When the Duchess of Wei saw that she hadn't followed, she turned around and shouted angrily, "What are you still standing there for!"
"Take her back to the Duke's mansion!"
She gave instructions to her attendant.
"Don't touch me! I can walk by myself," Long Qianxue said coldly.
She glanced at Zhai Rongyu and then got into the Duke's carriage.
She had to go to the Duke of Wei's mansion with her own eyes to confirm that Wei Wenshu had been harmed by the Soul-Devouring Cauldron.
She'll deal with Zhai Rongyu after she's verified the facts!
