Chapter 23 Your Highness, that’s mine.
It's a threat.
Mr. Zhang is also a good person. At this time, his brain changed and he started to use the Jiangnan Si family to suppress Si Ning!
The wealthy and powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River should be upright and observant of etiquette, and should not practice favoritism or malpractice or be biased.
He wanted to use this to threaten Si Ning and warn him not to ruin the long-standing reputation of the Si family in Jiangnan for the sake of a nominal Princess Zhaoming!
"Mr. Si Ning, what you said today can represent the Jiangnan Si family!?"
In the guest seat, Si Ning sat upright, handsome and handsome.
Hearing Master Zhang's threat, his expression remained unchanged and he just looked back indifferently: "Since we went to the banquet at the princess's mansion today, Princess Zhaoming is the host."
"No matter what Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to do, Si Mou fully supports it. If anything goes wrong, I, Si Ning, will be fully responsible."
After a pause, Si Ning looked at Mr. Zhang calmly, speaking clearly and slowly.
"This is what I said. I represent the Jiangnan Si family."
——The implication is that he supports Princess Zhaoming unconditionally.
As soon as these words came out, all the guests present looked shocked.
In other words, a big family like the Jiangnan Si family actually chose to support Princess Zhaoming! ?
The status and weight of Princess Zhaoming are completely different!
"Si, Mr. Si Ning——" Mr. Zhang still wanted to say something else.
Jiang Jinshuang raised her hand impatiently: "Here, stop his mouth and throw him into the cold spring!"
Several servants came forward again and dragged the pot-bellied Master Zhang into the cold spring!
The peach blossoms in the backyard seemed to be awakened by the sound. The petals swayed and fell into the cold spring one after another, creating circles of ripples.
Seeing the panicked expression on the man's face, Jiang Jinshuang cupped her chin and watched, feeling quite good.
But just when the servants were about to throw him into the cold spring, a low and trembling voice reached Jiang Jinshuang's ears.
"Your Highness."
It's Pei Du.
Jiang Jinshuang frowned and turned to look at Pei Du in the guest seat.
Pei Du was really drunk.
Scarlet appeared at the end of his eyes, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at her intently, and even the finger bones on his knees curled up unconsciously.
His back was still straight, but the look he looked at her held a stubbornness and... grievance that Jiang Jinshuang couldn't understand?
Wronged?
Jiang Jinshuang felt that she was crazy.
——How could she see an emotion similar to grievance on Pei Du's face?
What does he have to feel aggrieved about?
"What does the Chief Assistant want to say?" Jiang Jinshuang asked coldly.
The man's lips were straightened, his words were a little slow, and his tone was trembling: "That's mine."
What?
Jiang Jinshuang frowned and didn't react for a while.
Pei Du looked at her and said word by word: "That is my cold spring."
She wouldn't let the cold spring get any dirt on it.
——She promised.
She clearly promised.
When Jiang Jinshuang heard this, she chuckled indifferently.
"Plop——"
Behind him, the broad-shouldered Master Zhang was dragged by three or five servants and thrown into the cold spring!
The water level of the cold spring is not deep, but the water temperature is bitingly cold, which is definitely not that comfortable.
The adult Zhang just touched it a little, and then he screamed and fluttered in the spring like a mouse burned by magma. The originally clear and clear spring water was now dirty and messy because of the mud at the bottom of the pool stirred up by his entry.
Jiang Jinshuang smiled with satisfaction, then turned to look at Pei Du, whose eyes were red and his finger bones were curled up.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, I remember it wrong. This is my cold spring and has nothing to do with you."
After saying that, she said to Jingmo: "Master Jingmo, your master is drunk. I will send someone to take you back."
——The next good show can only start easily if he is not here.
Everything was silent.
During the entire banquet, there was no sound except for Mr. Zhang who was still screaming and thrashing in the cold spring and yelling at Jiang Jinshuang from time to time.
All the guests bowed their heads and remained silent, not even daring to look at Jiang Jinshuang.
Now that the atmosphere has reached this point, Jiang Jinshuang feels that it is time to start the next step.
She smiled gently: "Everyone, the stage outside the mansion has been set up. Since everyone is full, please come with me to taste it."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Who dares to disobey Jiang Jinshuang at this time?
The Jiangnan Si family has clearly stated their attitude. Even if they borrow 800 courage, they will not dare to go against the Jiangnan Si family!
Hearing what Jiang Jinshuang said, everyone had no choice but to act as if nothing happened and followed Jiang Jinshuang and Si Ning towards the outside of the princess's mansion.
——
Outside the princess's house.
When Xia Yurong and Qingshan came to the Princess Mansion with a group of female relatives, they saw Wenshan Pavilion's carriage leaving the Princess Mansion from a distance.
Qingshan's eyes lit up and she hurriedly pulled Xia Yurong beside her: "Yurong, look, that's the carriage of Lord Chief Assistant!"
Xia Yurong took a closer look and nodded: "It is indeed Brother Pei's carriage..."
The smile on Qingshan's face got even bigger: "Humph! Let me just say that Princess Zhaoming must have angered Lord Chief Assistant, and Lord Chief Assistant couldn't bear it and left the table and returned home!"
Hearing what Qingshan said, Xia Yurong's face became a little brighter: "Really, really?"
"How can it be fake? How cultivated is Mr. Pei? If he wasn't really angry, he definitely wouldn't have left the banquet in the middle of the feast!"
With that said, Qingshan pulled Xia Yurong forward: "Let's go and see what kind of joke Princess Zhaoming has made!"
After hearing this, a group of female relatives also followed to the princess's house.
Outside the princess's house.
When Jiang Jinshuang led a group of guests outside the mansion, she happened to see Xia Yurong and his party walking over.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The female relatives all saluted Jiang Jinshuang.
Jiang Jinshuang raised her chin and glanced at Xia Yurong in front of the female family members.
Seeing this, Xia Yurong took a few steps forward and turned slightly towards Jiang Jinshuang: "Sister, why did you come out?"
Jiang Jinshuang was too lazy to pay attention to the purpose of Xia Yurong and others' coming. She just pointed to the stage set up outside the house with her chin: "Watch a show."
Hearing this, Xia Yurong bit her lip slightly: "Sister, I...I just saw Brother Pei's carriage..."
Jiang Jinshuang raised her lips and smiled: "So what?"
Xia Yurong's voice was soft and she looked embarrassed: "Sister, are you having trouble with Brother Pei again? Don't be angry, I will explain it clearly to Brother Pei..."
When Jiang Jinshuang heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "Xia Yurong, which of your eyes saw that Pei Du and I were having trouble?"
"I'm sorry, sister, Yu Rong said the wrong thing..."
Qingshan on the side couldn't stand it anymore and took a few steps forward. Although she was blessed, she didn't mean much respect: "Your Highness, Yu Rong is just worried about you. You don't need to choke her like this, right?"
Jiang Jinshuang's eyes moved to Qingshan: "The only daughter of General Zhenyuan, Miss Qingshan."
Qingshan didn't expect Jiang Jinshuang to recognize her at a glance. She was stunned for a moment, then straightened her back: "My daughter, Qingshan, I have met Princess Zhaoming."
"If I remember correctly, your names don't appear to be on the invitation?"
After being scolded, Qingshan snorted coldly: "I and the sisters were passing by the princess's mansion. I heard that Her Highness the Princess was inviting people to watch a play, so I dared to come and appreciate it."
