On the 28th day of the third lunar month, it’s a sunny and pleasant day, suitable for weddings.
Early in the morning, the Pri Minister Pei Mansion was filled with guests and friends, with gongs and suonas playing loudly, and people coming and going; it was very lively.
Today is the wedding day of Pei Jinheng, the eldest legitimate son of Pri Minister Pei, and almost all colleagues with official positions and high-status children were invited. Even the nobility from the palace sent gifts, all hoping to curry favor with this court Pri Minister.
A small green cloth horse carriage slowly approached, seemingly inconspicuous, and stopped beside an alley not far from the Pri Minister Pei Mansion.
"Will he co?"
The carriage stopped, and Li Qingmu’s magnetic voice sounded.
His gaze was deep, looking at the swaying red lanterns and jubilant Pri Minister Pei Mansion, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. This coldness was not directed at the Pri Minister Pei Mansion but rather at that Pang Shuangyue, the woman who almost killed him!
Actually, Li Qingmu didn’t have much contact with her; most of it was learned from Yue’er. She was skilled at manipulation and liked to feign weakness and pity. This was sowhat similar to himself? However, he would never persecute the innocent. He hadn’t even t her, yet she acted ruthlessly, which he couldn’t tolerate!
Today, he would make her fall from grace!
"He will definitely co! He is a greedy person, and I promised him one hundred taels of gold. Where has he ever seen so much wealth? People risk their lives for riches, and birds die for food; he will certainly take this risk!"
"Alright, in that case, let’s wait and see!"
Li Qingmu got up, ready to alight from the carriage and then bring his little wife down.
However, just as he stood up, the carriage shook.
With a "bang," it was as if sothing had hit it, causing the carriage to shake.
"Who the hell parked this broken carriage here and blocked the way?"
The voice was from a woman, sharp and full of hostility.
Long Yue and Li Qingmu exchanged a glance, and as Li Qingmu got up to go out, Long Yue stopped him.
"I’ll go!"
It’s better for n and won not to et face-to-face. Long Yue thought, with her husband being so handso, she would feel uneasy if soone set their sights on him.
"Who crawled out of the cesspit and is blocking the road? It’s said that good dogs don’t block the way. Hurry up and get lost!"
Outside, a garishly dressed woman with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Long Yue’s carriage was cursing, while many passersby were looking on with interest.
Long Yue poked her head out and got off the carriage. When the woman saw Long Yue coming out, she imdiately shouted, "Miss, I’m talking to you! Are you deaf? Today is my handkerchief friend’s wedding day, and the road is crowded. Why are you blocking the way here? Truly lacking foresight!"
Handkerchief friend?
Pang Shuangyue’s friend?
Long Yue squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the woman who seed younger than herself?
Pang Shuangyue did have a few handkerchief friends, but she really couldn’t recall this one?
If this girl was rely arrogant and foul-mouthed, Long Yue wouldn’t bother with her, but she claid to be Pang Shuangyue’s handkerchief friend?
Hehe, she ca here just to slap her face. Since you’re a handkerchief friend, let’s start with you as the appetizer!
Long Yue gave a faint smile, her left hand twirling a silk cloth as she gently caressed her cheek, with extrely seductive movents, "Good dogs don’t block the way? But I’m not a dog, so naturally, I block the way, right?"
"You..."
The girl was dumbfounded by Long Yue’s response, instinctively squeezed out a word, but couldn’t continue!
She was stunned with anger!
Then she saw Long Yue waving her hand, instructing the coachman, "Since dogs don’t block the way, we should block it, right? Go, park the carriage right in the center!"
Actually, Long Yue’s carriage was already to the side, only slightly obstructing, and other carriages could pass if they moved a little.
The girl, suffering from an arrogant outburst, believed herself to be different because she was Pang Shuangyue’s handkerchief friend, and wanted to find soone to show authority. Now she hit a brick wall!
"You... you dare!"
The girl thought Long Yue had gone mad. Today was the day of the wedding of Pei’s eldest son, was this woman’s brain pinched by a door, daring to cause a public disturbance?
Long Yue raised her brows slightly, hands clasped, tucked into her sleeves, slightly puffed her chest, accentuating her arrogance conspicuously.
"Yes, I dare! What’s wrong with that? Little girl, why wouldn’t I dare?"
"You’re impudent! Today is Mr. Pei’s wedding day, daring to create trouble; you’ll face consequences!"
The girl pointed at Long Yue, cursing angrily, her little face red with rage, but Long Yue remained indifferent, "Is that so? Didn’t you tell to park the carriage in the middle of the road?"
"I..." The girl was dumbfounded, her voice even catching a crying tone, "When did I ever tell you to park it? You don’t accuse wrongly!"
"Oh, you said it yourself, just now! Beasts don’t block the way. Isn’t that referring to people blocking the way? Yes, people walking on the road naturally block the way, right? Oh, unless the girl doesn’t block the way? Oh hehe, I understand now..."
Long Yue covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and laughed, her mischievous appearance begging for trouble.
"You, you, you..."
The girl found herself unable to argue with Long Yue, trembling with rage, and to top it off, she was insulted as a beast? Ah, she was enraged!
In a fit of rage, she let out a sharp "Ah!" and lunged at Long Yue.
"Wretch! You dare humiliate , I’ll rip your mouth apart! Go to hell!"
She reached out her claws towards Long Yue’s neck, but how could Long Yue let her get close? As she approached, Long Yue gave a little push.
"Ah—"
The girl staggered backward, fell to the ground, her hairpins scattered, and her beautiful attire got dirty.
"W-w, you... this evil woman! Sob sob sob..."
The girl felt pain and imnse grievance, her nose tingling, and tears welled up.
A crowd had gathered, watching Long Yue "bully" the girl, for a long while. Among them, there was a woman covering her mouth, exclaiming in surprise: "Isn’t this the eldest daughter of Minister Pang’s family?
It’s said she had an affair with another man, causing Mr. Pei embarrassnt, who then broke off the engagent. She was also kicked out of the house by Minister Pang, later marrying a poor country boy, but even in the countryside, she wasn’t at peace, often quarreling with others. They say she’s nicknad Evil Woman Li."
"Ha, Evil Woman Li? Tsk tsk tsk, just looked like it, indeed an Evil Woman deanor, no wonder Minister Pang kicked her out. Such a person, tsk tsk, truly disgraces the family."
"Indeed, indecent and fierce, arrogant and domineering. Let tell you, not long ago, I saw her at the Su Jinxiu Workshop, blatantly asking the owner for rent. See, so bossy!"
"Oh—she’s an evil woman, isn’t this normal, hehe..."
"..."
A group of young ladies and noblewon began gossiping, each giving Long Yue looks filled with disdain and ridicule.
"Finished talking?"
Long Yue cast a cold glare at the ones who were most rowdy, "What, pity her? Or having a big opinion on ? Or perhaps, you guys are itching and want to taste my fists too?"
