In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

How could Xu Luohan not know how cunning Qi Feixu was? She would not watch her daughter being tricked.

"The daughter of Duke Xu is truly impressive. I've heard you're proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and composing poetry is no problem at all. I never thought you'd show off to Duke Xu's Mansion today. If you didn't know better, you'd think our Duke Xu's Mansion was much inferior to your Duke Qi's Mansion."

Every word Xu Luohan said was full of thorns, which made Qi Feixu's face turn ugly.

How could she not know that these words were a veiled insult to her!

She also knew that Master Xu usually disdained to participate in these verbal disputes, but today it concerned her daughter, and he was willing to fight back against this slight challenge without showing any weakness, which showed that he really loved his daughter.

Qi Feixu smiled faintly and looked at Master Xu in front of him without showing any weakness:

"Master Xu, please forgive me for saying this. Fei Xu is just happy to see your sister return. I thought that since everyone is here today, your daughter must be pretty good, so I wanted to let everyone open their eyes."

After she said this, her face was full of aggrieved expression, as if the people in Duke Xu's mansion had deliberately bullied her.

"But Fei Xu didn't expect that you wouldn't even be willing to do this. Since you don't want to, that's fine too. After all, she's the daughter of your Xu family, so she can't be bad at anything."

After saying these words, she wiped the corners of her eyes softly, as if those words really made her cry.

Of course, there were some men present who had admired Qi Feixu since childhood. Seeing that Qi Feixu seemed to be bullied by Master Xu today, they hurried to speak up for her.

"Master Xu, why don't you just forget about it? Look, Feixu hasn't had it easy. I'm saying all this today for Qingyin's sake. If Qingyin doesn't want to or doesn't have the ability, then why not just forget about it? Why do you have to say these harsh words to a little woman like her?"

The person who said this was the second son of the Earl of Yongchang. Although he could not inherit the title, he was still a pampered child in his own Earl's Mansion. Therefore, he was not afraid of Master Xu. But when he finished speaking, his mother beside him glared at him fiercely, and he quickly shut up.

These words really made Chu Qingyin realize that what was shown in the TV series was real and these house fights were really so bloody.

She saw that her mother hadn't said anything yet, but now she was accused of bullying the daughter of a Duke. If her mother hadn't held such a high position in Yunjin, she would have been drowned in spit by now...

She felt indignant for her mother, but she also felt that it would be inappropriate to say more given her current status, so she just waited and saw what would happen. If someone really wanted to step on her mother's head, Xu Qingyin would certainly not be far behind.

However, Master Xu had already seen these mediocre skills when he was serving the ladies in the harem. In his eyes, they were nothing compared to the great ones. Therefore, he just smiled and said politely:

"You guys at the Duke of Qi are really well-educated. I never thought that the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Qi would be so rude to her elders. If I really wronged you, then I think your words are understandable. But before I even said anything, my daughter has already been labeled incompetent or timid. What a clever trick."

When she said this, the ladies present had all seen the behavior of the concubines in their families, so every word of Master Xu hit the nail on the head. In fact, they had long been fed up with Qi Feixu's pretentious demeanor. If it weren't for her high status, beauty and strong abilities, no one would have been able to stand her behavior.

If the Queen had not been called away to Duke Xu's Mansion for something, and if she was here to support the situation, how could Qi Feixu dare to step directly on Xu Qingyin?

But no matter how much everyone talked about it, Qi Feixu had never suffered such a great injustice. Seeing the many noble ladies who might become her future mothers-in-law sneer at her current state, she really wanted to cry.

"I didn't, I didn't, I really didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand me..."

However, only the fat and powerful princes and nobles present could understand her humming voice, which was as soft as the sound of mosquitoes and flies. The other ladies who could see through what he was thinking would not pay any attention to her at all.

However, no one responded to his suggestion of reciting poems and composing couplets. However, Xu Qingyin was thinking in her heart that Yunjin naturally did not overlap with Chinese history. There were so many poems in Chinese history. If she could recite two of them, she would not have to let her mother take the blame for her.

Master Xu seemed to notice that Chu Qingyin looked a little tired, so he asked:

"What's wrong, daughter? Are you unhappy about his affairs? If that's the case, then mother will definitely not let him have an easy time. Don't worry, I won't let anyone in this world bully you."

Xu Qingyin quickly replied:

"Mother, mother, you're mistaken. That's not what I meant. I just wanted you to not worry so much about me. If he really wants to compete with me in poetry, I might not be familiar with the rules, but I might be able to answer."

"Well, my daughter has really grown up. I didn't expect that she can stand on her own now."

Speaking of this, she was really happy. In the past, he had always worried that his daughter would be wronged in that world, but now it seems that he actually knows how to improve his abilities in daily life, so that he will not be bullied easily.

The two of them were chatting quietly, but unexpectedly Qi Feixu was unwilling to give up and continued to ask:

"Although Master Xu has already answered for him, I haven't heard Sister Qingyin's answer. If Sister Qingyin really doesn't dare, then you can just say it."

Although everyone knew that this was a blatant provocation, since he had already put on a stern face and knew it was inappropriate to ask like this, he still asked again. Everyone looked at Xu Qingyin with expectant eyes.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I didn't expect that you would find a way to contact me just after I arrived in the capital. I have never learned what you said in the countryside, but if you like, I am willing to accompany you."

After hearing these words, everyone present began to feel sorry for Chu Qingyin. They didn't expect that she would be willing to embarrass Qi Feixu for his politeness and face even though she had learned nothing.

Now the ladies who already disliked Qi Feixu hated her even more. On the contrary, they liked Xu Qingyin more and more. Not only was she graceful in her speech and behavior, but she was also kind-hearted. The only regret was that her status was too high for them to reach.
