The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 18 Standing up for others
  "Where did you come from? How dare you hit me!" Just shouting at this, Wen Jiu could imagine what an arrogant and domineering face this person had.

"me."

"What? Can't everyone report it?"

Mammy's footsteps gradually slowed down, as if she was intentionally reminding her: "Girls don't go out often, so this old slave will inevitably talk too much. This person is Miss Liu Yue and Liu Er of Yongning House. She has always had a bad temper. If the girl is fine, there is no need to talk to her." It’s a pointless argument.”

Yongning Bofu? Isn't this a distinguished family that has long since declined?
  "I am Zuo Cao of the Ministry of Punishment." Chen Miao didn't know whether he was nervous or ashamed, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

Wen Jiu couldn't help but frown as he walked and listened. The girl's voice seemed familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

"Why are you mute? Looking at your outdated and shabby clothes, how can you have a good background? How could a lowly person like you get in!"

Chen Miao tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand. This dress was the best in her family. Her brother didn't want to come to this banquet by himself, but he insisted on coming to learn more. He didn't expect that he would bump into Yongning. The lady of the uncle's house spilled tea on her.

"Miss Liu Er, she is the younger sister of Mr. Chen Shu of the Ministry of Justice. She has just been transferred to Beijing with Mr. Chen. It is inevitable that her etiquette is not complete." A lady in the crowd opened her mouth and helped her to report her family, but it was better not to report this family.

"Chen Shu? I've never heard of it!" Liu Yue snorted coldly, "But if you dare to contradict me just after entering Beijing, how can I not give you a long memory!"

Chen Shu’s sister?
  Wen Jiu's heart felt hot, and the scene where he bumped into that person reappeared in his mind.

"Young lady, please forgive me. I will help you clean up. I won't dare to do it again next time." Chen Miao knelt down in a hurry. She couldn't cause trouble to her brother. He was already working very hard, so she couldn't cause him any more trouble. .

"Wash it clean? You are the only one worthy of touching me."

"It's just a piece of clothing, why should a girl be so aggressive?" Wen Jiu walked out from the corridor and interrupted Liu Yue's next words in a low voice.

"Girl." Mammy wanted to stop her but it was too late. She could only shake her head to herself. It didn't matter, it was the Wen girl who meant well.

Everyone turned their attention to her. Although Liu Yue was just a young lady whose family was declining, no one would offend her because of Chen Miao.

"Who are you? You look familiar, you must be someone who just came to the capital, right?" Liu Yue looked at Wen Jiu suspiciously. He was dressed much better than the kneeling one, but he just looked at Wen Jiu from behind. Never seen.

Wen Jiu rarely attended these feasts in Beijing, and they had never seen them.

"Ahem, cough, cough." Wen Jiu coughed a few times with a handkerchief, and walked up to Liu Yue step by step, quietly protecting Chen Miao behind him, "This is indeed my first time to participate. This kind of party.”

It's not like he just arrived in the capital, but it is indeed his first time to attend this kind of banquet. This is not a lie.

"Ha, then what qualifications do you have to plead for others? You can't even protect yourself." Liu Yue sneered, "Today, I will teach you the rules in Beijing."

"Miss Liu, today is the flower viewing party hosted by the princess. We can't bear this matter if it gets too big." Wen Jiu's voice was a little unsteady, as if he was frightened.

"Forget it, Yue'er. When your clothes are dirty, I'll find someone to give you a few more. Let's not make any more trouble at the Yong'an Palace banquet today." A woman with bright eyes and good eyes walked out from behind Liu Yue. She was not the one who saw her on the street that day. Is the second girl Zhang Jinzhang a good show?

"Sister Jin!" Liu Yue seemed to be confused as to why Zhang Jin came out to stop her. She was clearly the one who asked her to make things difficult for Chen Miao, so that the Chen family would retreat.

"Forget it, don't make the scene ugly." Zhang Jin signaled again with his eyes. Chen Miao naturally did whatever he wanted, but the woman who came to the rescue was obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Liu Yue was forcibly pulled over, but how could she survive her anger?

She turned around and walked quickly to Chen Miao, raised her hand and slapped her in the face! Wen Jiu's face turned pale, he said "Ah" and slapped Chen Miao back.

Before Liu Yue could enjoy the pleasure of slapping someone, his head was severely hit to the side.
  Compared to a woman like Liu Yue who was raised in a boudoir, Wen Jiu had been trained.
  "What are you doing?" Liu Yue was hysterical with her hairpins scattered, "Who do you think you are and how dare you hit me!"

"Cough cough cough Miss Liu. I thought... cough cough cough. I thought you were going to hit me. I just reacted instinctively." Wen Jiu coughed while holding his chest until he was out of breath, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Forget it, Miss Liu, you've scared me."

"Yes, Liu Yue, isn't it just a piece of clothing? Come to my house and pick up a few pieces."

"Miss Liu Yue, please restrain your temper during the princess's flower viewing party."

When everyone saw Chen Miao and Wen Jiu, one cried and the other coughed. If the quarrel continues, everyone present may lose their dignity.

"Ah——" Liu Yue screamed angrily. He was obviously beaten, so why was it all his fault?
  "Who are you! Who are you! I will never let you go!" Liu Yue said as he stepped forward and grabbed Wen Jiu's clothes.

When Zisu saw that her girl was being bullied, she quickly ran out from the corridor and separated Liu Yue.

"Miss Liu, what are you doing? Our girl has a marriage contract personally granted by the emperor. The future prince's wife, my master, is the current imperial tutor and a close minister of the emperor. My wife was born in a noble family, and she and the empress are from the same clan. Miss Liu, You'd better know who you're threatening."

Wen Jiu turned to look at Zisu and clicked his tongue. He really didn't expect that a girl like him could report to the family more efficiently than he did.

"Are you the daughter of Mrs. Wen? Aren't you sick and about to die?" Liu Yue was obviously too panicked to speak.

Wen Jiu tilted his head slightly and whispered, "Who said I'm going to die?"

Zisu: "Everyone says so."

Wen Jiu: "."

"Ahem, Miss Liu, I'm just not in good health, why am I about to die? It seems that you are looking forward to my death? Why do you have unreasonable thoughts about the position of the Crown Princess?" Wen Jiu was still panting. , seems to have not recovered yet.

I didn’t expect Lu Xu to be quite useful at this time.

"Miss Wen, you must be merciful and merciful." Zhang Jin silently walked up to Liu Yue. Of course, Liu Yue's moral character could not defeat her. "Taifu Wen and Liu Yue's elder brother were both officials in the same dynasty and are working for the emperor. There should be no distinction between them."

After hearing this, Wen Jiu couldn't help but raise his eyes and smiled harmlessly.

"Didn't Master Chen serve as officials in the same court as her brother? I'm just treating others in their own way."

"Forget it Jin'er, it depends on the owner when beating a dog. Chen Shu is a disciple of the Wen family, so Miss Wen Jiu should protect him." Someone else in the crowd began to persuade him to make peace.

"Yes, it's rare for Miss Wen to go out, so we'd better sit down and enjoy the flowers and drink tea together."

"I've heard about Miss Wen for a long time, and I finally met her today."

Everyone agreed.
