When Xiao Heng heard Jiu Ning mention Xiao Taohong's name again, she couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Nonsense, when did I ever think of her so much?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at her guiltily: "She is much worse than you," and added at the end.

Jiu Ning's eyes widened immediately. "You're still comparing me to her. So, I'm the one who won the survival of the fittest."

Xiao Heng was speechless. No matter what you said about this woman, she was wrong. It was better to keep quiet.

"Look, look, you feel guilty, right? Humph! I don't want to pay attention to you anymore."

After saying that, Jiuning sat back down. As soon as Xiao Taohong on the stage finished singing, the coming-of-age ceremony began.

Second uncle Jiang Yuanping went on stage to give a speech, while Jiang Ruoyao walked into the venue in gorgeous clothes. Everyone present praised her, gave congratulations, dressed up, and paid her respects. The ceremony was over.

Finally, when the only thing left to do was to set off the fireworks, there was no response for a long time. Just when everyone was surprised, Xue Fangfei suddenly appeared as Jiang Li.

"Who is this?"

"Jiang Li, have you heard? He killed his mother and brother back then."

"How can she still have the nerve to come?"

Vicious words, one after another, reached Jiuning's ears. Why? Why didn't anyone believe her?

Jiu Ning couldn't help but tremble slightly. She tried her best to breathe and control her emotions. Even after so many years, she was still not immune to these words.

These vicious words that were engraved in her bones still made her angry. She had heard these words for ten years in Qingcheng Mountain.

Xue Fangfei walked up to the stage step by step. Jiang Yuanbai introduced Jiang Li's identity to everyone with a smile on his face.

Afterwards, the curses and ugly words stopped abruptly, and everyone changed their attitude and started praising each other's beauty.

At this moment, Ji Shuran's face froze for a moment, and then she forced out an awkward smile.

Surprisingly, at this moment, Madam Liu walked out of the crowd, came to the stage, and praised Xue Fangfei in front of everyone.

"Why haven't I heard about Madam Jiang Er's coming-of-age ceremony in all these years? Who combed your hair that day?"

Xue Fangfei glanced at Jiuning, a hint of sadness on her face, and whispered softly, "Everything is in vain on Qingcheng Mountain. Li'er has never had her coming-of-age ceremony."

These words not only made Jiang Yuanbo's face change drastically, but also made Ji Shuran's expression even uglier.

Madam Liu couldn't help but gloat over her misfortune: "So, Madam Jiang didn't even go to see Li'er when she came of age!"

This immediately caused an uproar below: "It turns out that Madam Jiang hasn't visited for ten years. This Jiang Li is too pitiful."

It's really ridiculous that everyone is showing sympathy again. They never think about how much harm their casual words may cause to others.

In order to humiliate Ji Shuran, Madam Liu pulled out a hairpin from her head and wanted to pin it on Xue Fangfei's hair.

But Xue Fangfei took a step back and refused: "My parents are still alive, it's not appropriate for someone else to wear my hair."

When Ji Shuran heard this, she had to put on a smile and presided over the coming-of-age ceremony for Xue Fangfei again.

Looking at her forbearing and gnashing teeth, Jiu Ning understood the surprise Xue Fangfei wanted to give her. She wanted to give her a belated coming-of-age ceremony, so that the whole capital would remember Jiang Li and get to know Jiang Li again.

Jiuning felt a little sad and a little moved. Tears kept welling up in her eyes, but she refused to let them stay.

Xiao Heng noticed that the person next to him was in a bad mood, so he gently held the other person's still trembling hands.

"Do you want to go?"

Jiuning lowered his head to hide his emotions. At this moment, fireworks lit up in the sky, which was very beautiful.

"The fireworks are beautiful, but they're still not enough?"

Xiao Heng lowered his eyebrows and smiled dotingly: "Little rascal, what ideas have you come up with?"

Jiu Ning forced back her tears and looked at the people on the stage with an expressionless face.

"I want to make the entire Jiang Mansion more lively."

After saying that, he whispered a few words in Xiao Heng's ear. Xiao Heng didn't blame him at all! He even condoned him. Then he turned around and gave Wen Ji instructions.

"Okay, if you want to play, I'll accompany you."

Jiuning felt aggrieved all of a sudden, and tears flowed down her face unintentionally.

Xiao Heng simply opened his fan to block Jiu Ning, avoiding everyone's notice.

In just a moment, the sound of a gong rang out from outside the door: "Fire, fire, help, fire..."

The guests sitting around them stood up in panic, and even Jiang Yuanbo and Ji Shuran on the stage stood up and ran out angrily.

The fireworks in the sky were still flashing, the fire in the yard was still burning, and the chaotic shouts of the guests were endless, which made Jiu Ning, who was holding back tears, laugh out loud.

"I received your gift, thank you!"

Jiu Ning looked at Xue Fangfei on the stage from a distance, and her silent lip movements conveyed her message.

"I'll also give you a return gift."

Then, he turned his gaze to Shen Yurong and the other two sitting next to him.

"How was it? Did you have fun?"

Xiao Heng came closer as if to seek credit, his eyes sparkling.

Jiu Ning glanced at everyone present; she no longer had the patience to stay any longer.

"Not yet. Why don't you do me another favor? Find me a group of mourners, but the one who plays the suona must be a good one."

Jiu Ning's voice sounded leisurely. It was such an unrelated thing, and no one knew how she came up with it.

Xiao Heng blinked her eyes, and the beautiful door came closer and closer. Jiu Ning looked around and saw many people looking in their direction. She couldn't help but lower her head shyly.

At the same time, he raised his arm and pushed the face that was getting closer and closer away.

"Can we go back?"

Xiao Heng did not answer, but directly took Jiu Ning's hand and walked out without paying attention to the surprised looks of others.

"Wenji, go find the best suona player in the capital."

The two of them got on the carriage, leaving Wen Ji with an indifferent look on his face.

That day, Jiu Ning met a professional mourner in the mansion. She smiled wickedly while thinking about the story she was going to write.

Then he gave those people a suona music score and asked them to go back and arrange rehearsal.

A few days later, a group of strange people walked to the gate of Shen Yurong's mansion. Half of them were wearing red wedding clothes, and the other half were wearing white mourning clothes.

When they arrived at the gate of Shen's mansion, they did not go in, but just started setting up a stage outside, as if they were going to put on a performance. The people were all surprised.

Inside the Shen residence, several people were having a meal, but the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Mother Shen ate while carefully observing her. Unable to resist, she asked tentatively, "Son, was the Second Miss Jiang at the Jiang Residence that day really not Xue Fangfei? How could there be two people in the world who look so alike?"

Shen's mother asked these questions countless times. Even though Shen Yurong tried her best to deny it, she just didn't believe it.

Shen Yurong, who was holding the bowl, looked very impatient. With a bang, she put the bowl heavily on the table.

"That's enough. Let's not talk about this anymore. She is the second wife of the Jiang family, and she can only be the second wife of the Jiang family."
