Su Huanyu seemed to be feeling angry and planned to have a good chat with Jiang Wansang before the banquet started.

He was just about to walk over when Zhao Zhizhi suddenly started greeting everyone.

Knowing that the banquet was about to begin, Su Huanyu had to give up temporarily and decided to wait until it was over.

But before leaving, he glared at Jiang Wansang with a serious look.

Jiang Wansang, who had been aware of the entire situation, said: "..."

Su Huanyu and Jiang Zihan are truly a match made in heaven.

Both of them are sick!

The banquet began and everyone took their seats.

Although the country of Nansu did not have such strict separation of men and women, everyone was tactful enough to sit down separately, with a distance of about one seat between them.

This autumn banquet was not an important one, and the guests were all unmarried men and women of the same age, so it was somewhat like a blind date.

The imperial city is a huge and complex chessboard. A good marriage is not only related to two people, but also to two families. So not long after the banquet started, everyone's topic naturally turned to reciting poems and composing couplets and showing their talents.

It is just the beginning of autumn and the maple leaves have not yet turned completely red. From time to time, people are boating across the river. Occasionally, the sound of stringed instruments can be heard from the teahouse on the shore. The sounds of people chanting poems and clinking glasses on the river bank are quite unique.

Jiang Wansang was shaking a glass of fruit wine in her hand, enjoying the performances of the children who had been carefully brought up in their families.

Although her eyes were always watching everyone's performance, her attention was always on Zhao Zhizhi.

When she sat down, she deliberately chose a seat close to Zhao Zhizhi, keeping an eye on her conversations with the people around her.

Because the most important plot of today's autumn banquet in the book was caused by the conversation between Zhao Zhizhi and others.

Jiang Wansang was enjoying herself while waiting for the opportunity to come, but someone didn't want her to be so leisurely.

"Jiang Wansang, everyone is showing off their talents, but you, an adopted daughter, are just sitting there motionless. Do you look down on everyone?"

With just one sentence, Jiang Wansang earned the hatred of everyone present.

Jiang Wansang raised her eyes lazily and looked calmly at the woman who was speaking.

Looks a bit familiar...

Jiang Wansang has always had a good memory, and she remembered who this person was after a little thought.

The woman who was kicked into the water by her at the palace banquet last time, I heard Jiang Zihan mention her. It seems her surname is Liu?

Jiang Wansang laughed, "Miss Liu, did you wash your mouth clean in the water last time? If not..."

She turned and pointed to the river not far away. "There's more water here, and it's wider. I guess we can wash clean now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the woman's face turned ugly in an instant, especially when she felt the gazes of people around her falling on her, as if she was being stripped naked in public.

Because there was an assassination attempt on the day of the palace banquet, there were not many people around the pond at that time, so the matter did not spread widely.

But she couldn't swallow this humiliation, so when she saw Jiang Wansang sitting here in a comfortable manner, she deliberately found fault and took revenge.

But she didn't expect that Jiang Wansang would use what happened that day to humiliate her just after she said a word, without caring about the Liu family behind her at all.

Even Prime Minister Jiang had to bow respectfully and call her "Grand Tutor Liu" when he saw her grandfather. How dare Jiang Wansang treat her like this!

"Jiang Wansang, you...you..."

She pointed at Jiang Wansang for a long time, but was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaodie came over from nowhere, "Cousin, you are really going too far."

She looked at Jiang Wansang with disapproval, frowning as if she had done something heinous that was condemned by both humans and gods.

Jiang Wansang remained calm. She changed into a more comfortable sitting position before looking up at Jiang Xiaodie. "Oh? What did I do that was excessive?"

Jiang Xiaodie sighed softly, a familiar sadness emerging between her brows. "We are both women and have a hard life. Why do you have to bully Miss Liu?"

Hearing this moral blackmail, Jiang Wansang remained calm and asked, "Being a woman is a miserable life? If you don't want to be a woman so much, why don't you jump into the river and commit suicide, so you can go to the underworld and reincarnate sooner? Maybe if you queue up sooner, you can get your wish and be reincarnated as a man in your next life."

The sadness on Jiang Xiaodie's face froze, and she stared in shock at someone who looked calm and seemed to be asking her questions seriously.

She knew that Jiang Wansang was crazy now, but she didn't expect that she would dare to tell her to die in front of so many people.

Jiang Xiaodie was not the only one who was shocked. The young ladies who were watching the fun around her, and even a few young men who were nearby in the men's table, heard what Jiang Wansang said and looked over with surprised and curious eyes.

Jiang Wansang, the center of attention, remained calm and spoke again, "Why, you don't dare to die?"

Under Jiang Xiaodie's distorted expression, she chuckled softly, "You keep saying that being a woman is unfortunate and that if you were a man you would definitely achieve great things, but I don't see you having any great abilities."

Jiang Xiaodie: "I..."

"Oh, yes, you're pretty quick at memorizing things, but that was years ago. Have you written any works that have been praised by the world in recent years? Or have you written any poems or songs that are praised by everyone? Or have you expressed any amazing opinions or speeches?"

"You haven't achieved anything, so what right do you have to represent all women and say that women are inferior to men?"

"No, it's not like you don't have any skills. The saying 'Being a woman is unfortunate' is quite famous. I'm sure many of you here have heard it. It can be considered an achievement."

Jiang Wansang didn't even give her a chance to speak. She kept talking nonstop, making Jiang Xiaodie's face turn green and blue. Even the word "ugly" couldn't describe it.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if no one had expected Jiang Wansang to be so talkative. Everyone was shocked and looked at Jiang Xiaodie with strange eyes.

Jiang Wansang had said something very right just now. Many of those present had indeed heard Jiang Xiaodie's statement that "being a woman is unfortunate."

Jiang Xiaodie's father was only an eighth-rank official in the Imperial Observatory, and he was born out of wedlock. Logically, he had no chance to get to know so many daughters of prominent families.

But she happened to have an uncle who was a prime minister, and in the past few years, she had used Jiang Wansang, the prime minister's daughter, to attend various banquets, so naturally she became familiar to many people.

Therefore, the audience for her wise words were all children of officials.

Most of these people are not stupid, and perhaps some of them were indeed affected by this sentence, but after Jiang Wansang's guidance, they instantly came to their senses.

From now on, it will be difficult for Jiang Xiaodie to integrate into this circle again!

Jiang Xiaodie also knew this, and she pinched her hands so hard that her nails dug into her flesh.

She had never been so embarrassed!

It’s all Jiang Wansang’s fault, it’s all her fault, that bitch!

The strange silence lasted for a moment, and finally someone stood up.

But this person did not try to divert the awkward atmosphere, nor did he try to mock Jiang Xiaodie. Instead, he jumped out to accuse Jiang Wansang.
