Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 199 What a Powerful Young Lady

One has a graceful figure like a young girl, and the material of her clothes seems a little plain at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see a faint flash of light; the other has a slightly rounded chin, and a faint vertical wrinkle between her eyebrows, revealing a bit of fatigue, but the moment she raises her autumn-water eyes, she is bright and charming.

The two people have completely different appearances, one is elegant and the other is beautiful, but both of them have some similarities with Cui Bianxu in their faces.

There was no one extra, and everything in the room was in perfect order, with no trace of a crime scene.

So, what exactly did Shopkeeper Wang spread?! Where was her colleague who was beaten half to death?!

As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and the smaller the expectations, the smaller the disappointment. This makes sense at this time.

Compared to her colleagues who were beaten to a pulp and lost consciousness, she felt a little embarrassed when she saw these two beautiful young women sitting there with such grace - look at them, with their looks and temperament, can they fight like gangsters?

What a misunderstanding! What a huge misunderstanding!

The hand that had been pressing on the dagger finally relaxed at this moment. Jiang Shangxian saluted the two people and said, "Greetings, ladies."

Zhao Yue and the other person nodded politely but didn't say anything to her right away.

Zhao Yue immediately spotted Jian Ming, who was acting furtively, hunching his shoulders and tilting his head, trying to hide himself behind Jiang Shangxian. "You naughty monkey, why did you come here so suddenly? There's been a lot going on at the mansion lately, so why are you still lazing around outside? Stop playing around and go home quickly."

It's really ridiculous. He doesn't even look down at how big his body is. He really thinks they can't see him if he hides behind a young lady?

The brat was very protective, but I was afraid that as soon as they stepped out of the door, Jianming would come over to report the news.

If that's the case, could it be that Miss Jiang knew they were here and deliberately let her apprentice cook to disgust them and give them a warning?

Well, well, the young ladies nowadays are really amazing. I have only heard of mothers-in-law torturing their daughters-in-law, but this is the first time I have seen one doing the opposite. If I don’t give them a good scolding, they will really turn the tables!

If it happens again, won’t I have to ride on her neck and poop and pee?

Jiang Shangxian could clearly feel that the gazes of the two people opposite him were becoming increasingly dangerous. He became nervous again and realized that her gaze was above his head. After realizing it, he immediately stood on tiptoe out of loyalty and helped Jian Ming block the gaze like he was trying to cover up his own faults.

Unfortunately, Jian Ming didn't dare to hide any longer after thinking it over. He stepped out and bowed with his head bowed, trying not to let his face be seen too clearly: "Jian Ming greets Madam, Madam."

Hey, if there was only Madam Gu, he could say that he was Li Sheng...

(Li Sheng, one of Cui Bianxu's guards.)

Cui Shuhua always turned a blind eye to unimportant servants and guards. Although the man looked familiar, she couldn't remember who he was. When she heard Zhao Yue's words, she knew that this must be someone close to Cui Bianxu. After a moment's thought, she and Zhao Yue came to the same idea.

One of the Cui family traditions was to show no sadness in the cold, no anger in the hunger. They wore few silks and silks, and ate no rich or fresh food. They filled their stomachs with wild vegetables, but their faces showed no sign of it.

Simply put, the Cui family required their daughters and daughters-in-law to be considerate and polite in their behavior and not to show their emotions. Even if they were starving or freezing to death, they had to maintain the dignity and integrity of the Cui family. They absolutely could not twist around in bed like a maggot, holding their stomachs after being hungry for two or three days.

Therefore, Cui Shuhua was unhappy, but she just coldly told the waiter to go out with her and close the door.

Who wouldn’t try to pretend when meeting someone for the first time?

Jian Ming and his servant did not leave immediately. They all turned their eyes to Jiang Shangxian, and the hesitation on their faces was perfectly controlled, trying to let everyone present see that they did not want to leave.

Bah, Jiang Shangxian didn't even need to make eye contact to guess that these two guys were eager to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, for fear that blood would splash on their shoes, right?

The two of them were actually very conflicted. In their hearts, they really wanted to retreat. Your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law affairs had nothing to do with them, but they were also afraid that if they were asked to leave, they would leave immediately, which would seem a little... impatient.

Furthermore, Jian Ming was also a little afraid that Jiang Shangxian would really kill someone if he was forced into a corner, and the clerk was afraid that something might happen and he would not be able to explain to Manager Wang.

Only after Jiang Shangxian nodded and assured Jian Ming with his eyes that he would not use the poisoned weapon to hurt anyone did they leave.

Zhao Yue and Cui Shuhua saw all this. After they looked at each other, Zhao Yue spoke first.

"Haha, although Miss Jiang is young, she has learned the art of controlling people quite well. She can make Jian Ming so obedient, which is a surprise to me as their master." Zhao Yue had a smile on her face, but she was unhappy in her heart. The servants of their Cui family actually listened to the words of a woman who had not even married yet!

However, people always have comparisons. After seeing Li Meng just now, looking at this Miss Jiang, she is much more pleasing to the eye. At least this one is better looking than that one. The least they see on weekdays is a decent-looking person. They haven't seen an ugly one for a long time.

I felt a little sore in my eyes when I saw him suddenly just now. But, with this appearance, it’s just passable.

Jiang Shangxian, who had been feeling a little relieved because there was no fight, became nervous again because of the two people's departure. Hearing these sarcastic words, the radar in her mind was spinning with alert.

Obviously, he is unhappy.

She lowered her head with a smile, and standing still allowed her to see the faces of both of them clearly. It must be said that the people of the Cui family are really good-looking. The one who looks like a young girl should be the aunt of the Cui family who can be pinned down and beaten.

As for the other one, who looked familiar, it must be his future mother-in-law, whom he couldn't defeat yet. "Madam, I'm so humbled by your kind words. It's just that you two elders came in such a hurry, and Cui Lang was afraid that she might be unprepared and neglect you two, so he sent someone to let you know."

Cui Shuhua had a smile on her lips, but her brows and eyes were distant, and the smile didn't reach her eyes. It was as if this smile had been practiced in front of the mirror, a business-specific expression. "I heard that Miss Jiang's family is poor, but she is very filial and ambitious. She couldn't bear to see her elderly mother and young brother work so hard, so she took up housework at such a young age. We thought we might be relatives in the future, so we came here specially to show our support. But unfortunately, we won't be lucky enough to enjoy the delicious food Miss Jiang made herself."

Zhao Yue's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she took a deep breath with a hint of excitement in her heart. No matter if it was her uncle or aunt, as long as they were not coming for her, it would be nice to just watch the fun.

It was Cui's daughter who was really fierce. She started to find faults as soon as they met, and even stabbed people in the heart.
