Shi Jiang was very curious. What if the groom failed to control the horse and just trampled Qi Han to paralysis?
Or, if he saw a horse's leg falling towards him, would Qi Han roll away like a donkey?
However, things had already passed. Shi Jiang was a little unmotivated, and his expression when he saw Qi Han wasn't very good.
"Sorry, it's all my fault that the girl was frightened."
Lying on the ground, no matter how handsome you are, your posture will not look good.
Therefore, Qi Han quickly got up from the ground, put on his clothes, bowed his hands to Shi Jiang and apologized.
"Oh, how can I compensate for my frightened loss?"
When Shi Jiang heard what he said, he rolled his eyelids and asked directly.
Well……
Qi Han was stunned at first. Logically speaking, a wealthy lady like Shi Jiang shouldn't be shy and say it's okay, but instead ask if she was injured?
"I don't know how the girl wants to compensate. Han Ding will do his best."
I am now a person who is poor but works hard and cannot collapse.
Therefore, after saying these words, Qi Han held back his breath hard, making his face turn red and looking a little embarrassed.
"So, if my request is beyond what you can fulfill, you won't be able to compensate, right? In that case, why bother talking loudly? Tsk, I look down on people like you who are trying to make a fool of yourself.
Uncle Qiu, we are almost late for the banquet, please leave quickly!"
Shi Jiang sneered at Qi Han, looked at him with disgust, dropped the curtain he had just raised in his hands, and then said to the groom.
"Hey, okay, miss, sit still!"
Uncle Qiu waved his riding whip and hurried past Qi Han.
If Qi Han just suppressed his blush on purpose, now he is really blushing with anger.
His eyes were full of anger.
The information I had gathered before said that although the eldest daughter of the family at this time was the daughter of a military commander, she was very kind-hearted.
Nowadays, where is the word kindness?
He's not too arrogant. The news about his good reputation before was probably not a misinformation!
"Sir, what should we do next?"
When the Shi family's carriage was no longer in sight, Qi Man rushed out of the alley and asked Qi Han, who was standing there angrily.
Originally, they had prepared a second method, which was to pretend to be ruffians and rob the young master, so that the young lady could be a beauty to save the hero.
At that time, it will also give the young master a reason to have a relationship with this eldest lady.
But before they could appear, the eldest lady actually ran away!
Looking at the young master's face that turned red and then darkened with anger, Qi Man couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He didn't know why, but suddenly felt that the young master looked a little miserable.
"Hmph, does she think she won't be able to get anything good out of going to Prince Ding'an's Mansion? Since she doesn't want to be toasted, she's just waiting to be punished with a bar!"
Qi Han waved his sleeves vigorously, turned around and left.
Little did he know that while he was leaving with Qi Man and his group, someone was following him from a distance.
The eldest lady has said that something will happen along the way. If something happens, just tell them not to show up, but keep an eye on the person who is making trouble.
There is no need to alert the snake by getting too close, just find out where the other person lives.
When Jiang arrived at Prince Ding'an's Mansion over there, most of them had already arrived.
So, when Jiang walked in, the ladies who were laughing and joking immediately stopped talking and looked at her.
After seeing clearly who she was, someone began to whisper.
Someone who knows it can explain Shi Jiang's identity to someone who doesn't know it.
"Miss Shi, you are so arrogant. Princess Nankang invited you to a banquet, but you didn't come until now. Could it be that you thought you could take advantage of marrying Young Master Liancheng in the future, so you set your sights on Prince Ding'an's Mansion like this?"
The speaker was Tao Silu, the legitimate daughter of Tao Yunchun, the fourth-rank Zuo Siye of the Imperial Academy. She had always played with the Princess of Nankang and often served as his pawn.
"Miss Tao's words are wrong. Princess Nankang is the host and I am the guest. Since I am an invited guest, how can the host have any objection to my coming sooner or later? After all, it's not like I won't come. Even if I
If I don’t come, as long as I can give a reason, Princess Nankang will not embarrass her guests. Miss Tao questioned Princess Nankang’s character like this.
Could it be that Miss Tao has some misunderstanding about Princess Nankang? As for marrying the Young Master of the Lian family, it is something that you and I can't discuss. Marriage is a matter of parents' order and a matchmaker. I and that
I haven't even met the young master before he got engaged, so how can I borrow someone's favor? Ah...could it be that Miss Tao wanted to borrow someone's favor?"
Shi Jiang spoke slowly and methodically. Finally, he pretended to be speechless, covered his mouth, and looked at Tao Silu in shock.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Princess Nankang and I are good sisters, how can we have any doubts about her? Shi Jiang, you... don't spit on others with blood."
She could still argue with the first words, but what Shi Jiang said later was wrong no matter how Tao Silu argued.
After all, how can she, a young girl who has not yet been engaged, talk about marriage casually?
If the news reaches the ears of the ladies in front, they will definitely think that she is too frivolous, and she will be the only one who will be embarrassed!
Therefore, Tao Silu's face turned crimson red, almost bleeding.
"Hey, it seems that I misunderstood? Fortunately, just like Miss Tao misunderstood me, everyone just didn't mean it."
Shi Jiang twitched the corner of his mouth, showed a fake smile, and said to Tao Silu.
However, everyone heard clearly what Tao Silu said just now.
Although they didn't like Shi Jiang, they also looked down upon Tao Silu's eagerness to throw dirty water on Shi Jiang.
"Miss Shi is really good at joking. Si Lu is just speaking outright. Those words are just unintentional. Please don't take it to heart. Princess Nankang should be here soon. Miss Shi, please sit inside quickly!"
Seeing Tao Silu retreating, the pretty lady in green clothes who was sitting next to her stood up and said politely to Shi Jiang.
"Miss Shen is really righteous. I like people who are righteous the most, so being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
The person who just spoke was none other than Shen Yan, the eldest daughter of Shen Congwen, the third-grade wine-offering minister of the Imperial Academy.
If Tao Silu is Princess Nankang's pawn, then Shen Yan is Princess Nankang's military advisor.
However, even though they were both trying to flatter Princess Nankang, Shen Yan was obviously much more powerful than Tao Silu in terms of wealth and brains.
Therefore, Tao Silu did not like Shen Yan.
Just for the sake of Princess Nankang, the sisters get along with each other on the surface, but secretly, there is a turbulent undercurrent.
Shi Jiang saw through the friendship between the two of them as plastic sisters with just one glance, so he gave Tao Silu some eye drops without hesitation.
