So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Chapter 46 I've never seen such a confused person 2

The table suddenly became quiet, and the ladies all looked at her. Xiao Yueshan was a little puzzled. There were so many distinguished guests today, and the distinguished guests had their own thoughts, so why did they suddenly mention a nobody like her?

She was a little overwhelmed, so she could only stand up and bow to the people in the upper seat, "Your servant, Xiao, the wife of Zhou Yao, the Censor of Xijiang Province, pays respect to the Princess, the Grand Princess, the Princess, the Marquis's wife, and all the ladies."

"Come closer. How can you answer from so far away? You are a person from a humble family and don't know the etiquette." Unexpectedly, Chen Yaqin, the wife of the Minister of Revenue Meng Zhengcheng, scolded her directly.

Mrs. Yu's face immediately turned red with anger. Her family had been ritual officials for generations, and her husband's family was also a scholarly family that taught and educated people. Yet they openly said that her daughter did not know etiquette!

But the person in charge is the Shangshu's wife, and she cannot offend her, so she can only endure it for the time being.

Qiu Shunci was a little surprised, and looked at his friend with heartache. In the past, he only knew that these noble ladies were cold and difficult to approach, but their family backgrounds were too low to be in the ladies' eyes, so even if they were at the same banquet, they would get along peacefully. I don't know how Yueshan offended this Shangshu's wife, causing her to start a fight at the table.

Xiao Yueshan walked forward, bowed again, and watched to see what tricks the crazy woman was going to play.

"Are you Xiao Yueshan?" Mrs. Meng asked.

"Mother, it's her!" Meng Yufu said coquettishly while holding Madam Meng's arm, "When my daughter was learning etiquette in the palace, she always bullied her!"

No! Big sister! What are you crazy about? If it weren't for me, would you be able to come back intact and be Miss Meng? Even if we don't want to be friends, can't we just pretend to be strangers?

The Meng family announced to the public that during the time when Shen brought Jiang Saiyu into the palace, Miss Meng was educated in etiquette in the palace, which added to her fame in the circle of ladies in the capital.

Perhaps she felt that Grand Princess Chu Yiwei was quite satisfied with her family, Meng Yufu looked at the Grand Princess in the second seat with grievance, "Xiao is very favored by Madam Shen in the palace. She...she also threatened me that if I marry someone and take charge of the palace in the future, I must obey her unconditionally. I will do whatever she says."

I didn't expect Jiang Saiyu to improve her tea art so quickly after being Miss Meng for so long. Xiao Yueshan watched her perform coldly, and Meng Yufu continued to say pitifully, "If I marry into the Rui Palace, I don't know whether I should listen to my sister or her. She has the Shen family as her backer, and she really wants to kill me. What should I do?"

"What is Shen Shi? She's just a wet nurse." Chu Yiwei snorted coldly, "As for those who rely on Shen Shi, they are not even as good as lackeys. What is there to be afraid of?"

"Miss Meng, you are joking. You are the daughter of a second-rank official, and I am just the wife of a seventh-rank official. How can I threaten you?" Xiao Yueshan said with a calm smile, "Even if I am ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, Miss, you are so noble that you will only think that I am dreaming and will not listen to my nonsense.

"This is the first time I have met the young lady since I left the palace. I have never visited her before, nor have I asked her to speak or do anything. But the young lady is so scared that she wants to obey the orders of a minor official like me. Is there something she can hold against me?"

Although Xiao Yueshan had no leverage over Jiang Saiyu and only knew that she was a time traveler, it didn't matter to the eldest princess and the Meng family who was in Meng Yufu's body. This truth had no deterrent effect, but it was enough to deceive Jiang Saiyu.

"You...you..." Meng Yufu was speechless, "Mother, look at her!" Well, if you can't argue, go find your mother. "How dare you confuse right and wrong in front of the Grand Princess!"

"What a silver tongue! The whole family is good at making excuses!" Mrs. Meng scolded angrily.

Okay, it’s not good to argue with the superiors about the affairs of the harem, but if it can be related to the affairs of the court, then I will do my best.

"Madam, you reprimand me, and I should remember it carefully. I should always reflect on my mistakes, and try to correct them if I have any, and try to improve myself if I don't." Xiao Yueshan changed her gentle smile and became very serious. She bowed to the Princess of Jin who was sitting at the head, "But when Madam mentioned my family, even if I am afraid, I will have the courage to argue with you.

The husbands of all the ladies present are in the court, and they all know that my husband beat the drum to accuse Jiangzhou officials of embezzling grain and grass the other day. The management of public warehouses and the allocation of money and grain all involve the Ministry of Revenue. If the situation is true, the Meng family, where the ladies and young ladies are, may be responsible for negligence. Now that the chief official has just been appointed and all matters of the case are still under review, can't the lady hold back and attack me, a woman in the back house, at this banquet?

The so-called threat I made to Miss Meng was completely fabricated, but the Madam was making things difficult for me in public. If this matter gets out, I am afraid that people will think that Master Meng is not well-educated and cannot tolerate others, and cannot target the Supervisory Censor who first reported the case, and will punish his family. This will be very detrimental to Master Meng's official reputation."

"You..." Madam Meng was so angry that she couldn't stop pointing her finger at her, "You are talking nonsense!"

Xiao Yueshan was confident in her eloquence. She didn't care whether Madam Meng was angry or not. She knelt down and bowed, "I am fortunate to be invited by Madam Hou today. It is really an honor for Yueshan to be able to sit at the same table with the princess, the eldest princess, the eldest princess, the county lady and many other nobles.

Yue Shan originally thought that the ladies were just appreciating the flowers, watching the summer lotus and chatting with the sisters, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Meng would lead the discussion to important state affairs.

Although Yue Shan is young, she knows that she should not make irresponsible comments on state affairs. Now that the chief judge has been decided, I believe that justice will prevail and the emperor will be wise and virtuous, and the truth will be revealed, and the mountains and rivers will be peaceful and the seas and rivers will be clear!"

These words made the Princess of Jin look at her with a higher opinion. Every word she said said that women should not discuss state affairs, and every word she said was a comment on state affairs, and there was nothing wrong with her.

I didn't expect that the woman in the back house was really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. This woman was good at speaking. No wonder Chu Yuanming asked her to sue Xie Wenchang. Now Song Pu was assassinated, which Chu Yuanming did not expect, but this situation was still beneficial to them, and she didn't mind saying a few words for Xiao Yueshan.

"Madam Xiao is very sensible. If there was any misunderstanding between Miss Meng and Madam Xiao, it has now been resolved. Sisters are just appreciating flowers and should not discuss state affairs. I think the tune just played is very good, otherwise let them play another song." Princess Shu Rongxue of Jin nodded slightly at her.

Xiao Yueshan bowed and took his leave. Madam Gongshun immediately asked someone to call the music band to start playing. The maids continued to serve dishes and fruits, as if the dispute had never happened.

She returned to her seat, and Qiu Shunci quickly came over and whispered, "I'm so scared. What's the problem between you and Miss Meng? Why are you suddenly making trouble in front of so many people?"

"I haven't met her many times, so who knows?" Xiao Yueshan said perfunctorily, "Shunci, are you free tomorrow? I want you to take me to the shop we mentioned before." She whispered in her ear.

"Okay, I'll send you a message tomorrow. Dress simply and put on a veil, and we'll go shopping together." Qiu Shunci agreed immediately.

Yao Ying, the wife of the Minister of Justice Zhang Songchan, and other ladies who had something to do with this matter even regretted attending the banquet at such a sensitive time.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. What happened today will definitely get out. Her husband will definitely blame her for not seeing the situation clearly and for going out at this critical moment.

They had thought that the banquets at the Gongshun Marquis's Mansion had never discussed state affairs, so they came to have fun for Madam Kong's sake. But now that Meng Yufu had made such a fuss, the atmosphere at the banquet had become somewhat awkward.

After lunch, Mrs. Yao found an excuse to leave. As soon as she left, the wives of the officials in the Ministry of Justice also left the table one after another.

As a result, everyone knew what was going on, and those who stayed behind lost interest in having fun, so the banquet ended quickly.
