The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Chapter 71 The Furious Shangguan Yuefei

Shangguan Yuefei was very angry when she saw that she still had this condescending attitude. She was obviously superior to her in everything, but she had to pretend to be innocent and unwilling.

It was obviously Shangguan Yueyin who insisted on leaving the Shangguan Mansion. Her own mother was in poor condition, but she wanted to drag her mother into the water and let the emperor force her father to expel her mother from the Shangguan Mansion and demote her to a slave.

Shangguan Yuefei will definitely avenge this grudge! She will definitely not let Shangguan Yueyin have an easy time!

"Shangguan Yueyin, why are you still pretending to be so noble? If you really want to cut ties with the Shangguan family, you shouldn't be attending the eldest princess's banquet under the name of Miss Shangguan."

"How shameless." Shangguan Yuefei said arrogantly. It was obvious that she was the only lady in the Shangguan family!

Shen Leyan was really angry at this person's unreasonable behavior. Originally, she didn't want to pay attention to her just like Shangguan Yueyin, so as not to be laughed at by others.

However, Shangguan Yuefei really didn't care about other people's opinions at all, so she didn't want to show her any mercy.

"Miss Shangguan, is it true that only daughters of the Shangguan family can attend the eldest princess' birthday party?"

"Do we all have to change our surnames to Shangguan?"

"I...I didn't say that! Who are you and what does this have to do with you?"

Shangguan Yuefei fixed her eyes on Shen Leyan, looked at her for a moment, and suddenly guessed her identity.

"This is our family's business. Miss Shen is meddling too much."

"Your family's matter? Did Sister Shangguan agree?"

"Didn't you just tell her not to have anything to do with the Shangguan family? Why are you treating Sister Shangguan as a family member now?"

The other ladies watching the excitement nearby also echoed: "Isn't this a contradiction?"

"How dare you insult others like that? How shameless!"

"How dare a concubine's daughter be so arrogant!"

Many people began to point fingers at the unreasonable Shangguan Yuefei, but Shangguan Yueyin was calm from head to toe, and looked like a well-educated and well-mannered young lady.

Shangguan Yuefei was so angry that her face was unrecognizable. She yelled out in a rage about Shangguan Yueyin being kicked out of the house.

He even distorted the truth, saying, "You're just jealous of my father's favor for my mother, and you want to stand up for her. That's why you deliberately acted like that to make my father feel guilty about you."

"You've all been deceived by her. She even had the Emperor take charge, forcing my father to expel my mother from the Shangguan Mansion and demote her to slavery!"

Some ladies who only knew one side of the story were really moved by Shangguan Yuefei's sincerity.

"I was saying that Miss Shangguan suddenly left the Shangguan Mansion for no apparent reason. It turns out she was planning this."

"This kind of self-torture does make people feel guilty."

"But it's really too cruel. Not only do they want to drive people out, they also want to reduce them to slavery."

"I never thought that Miss Shangguan, who usually has a kind heart, could be so vicious!"

Hearing the accusations from the people around her, Shangguan Yueyin's face gradually turned pale. She originally didn't want to pay attention to her, but she didn't expect Shangguan Yuefei to bite her like a mad dog without any care.

Shen Leyan was also a little stunned. She was sure of Sister Shangguan's personality and knew that it was impossible for her to explain these shameful things in front of so many people.

She couldn't just say nothing and let these people misunderstand her and point fingers at her.

"Ms. Shangguan, I think your mother should know the truth best, right? Why are you distorting the truth?"

Shangguan Yuefei disagreed and sneered, "Humph, you still accuse me of confusing right and wrong? What I said is all true, and my mother can prove it for me!"

Shangguan Yuefei immediately pulled out Qing Yi Niang who was hiding behind the crowd, wanting her to prove it for her.

Aunt Qing suddenly stood in front of everyone and sighed with a guilty conscience, "Actually, I'm also at fault. This can't be entirely blamed on Yueyin..."

"Alas..." Aunt Qing sighed and began to sob. "Forget it, Yuefei, mother is fine."

He pulled Shangguan Yuefei with a feeling of grievance, wanting her to calm down and let it go.

It was because Shangguan Rui had repeatedly warned her before leaving that she must keep a low profile today and not cause any trouble.

She was also afraid that Shangguan Yuefei would get into big trouble, especially with Shen Leyan around, she always had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Shen Leyan also reacted immediately. Shouldn’t Aunt Qing be expelled from the house? Why was she still here?

"Auntie Qing, I never thought that Lord Shangguan would even dare to disobey the Emperor's order for you. He truly loves you!"

"Everyone here should know what the consequences of disobeying the Holy Will are."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shangguan Yuefei shouted anxiously, "My father didn't do that!"

"Didn't you just tell us whether Lord Shangguan disobeyed the emperor's will?"

"That was all Shangguan Yueyin's deliberate self-torture trick, that's why the Emperor acted like this!"

"No matter what, the emperor believed it and ordered Qing Yi Niang to be expelled from the Shangguan Mansion and demoted to slavery. Why is Qing Yi Niang still here?"

Shangguan Yuefei wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Aunt Qing. She was afraid that if she didn't stop them, Shen Leyan would accuse them of questioning the emperor's decision.

In fact, this is what Shen Leyan thought in her heart, but now they have begun to reap the consequences of their own actions. Seeing that they are so guilty, people have begun to reverse their opinions.

"I didn't expect the rumors outside to be true. Lord Shangguan has acted like this. I'm afraid his entire reputation will be ruined by this concubine."

"That's right, for a concubine, you even dare to disobey the emperor's order!"

Other ladies who also felt disgusted with this behavior of favoring concubines and neglecting wives also joined the camp of condemning them.

A highly respected lady stepped forward and said, "In my opinion, this matter is very suspicious. Perhaps it was this Concubine Qing who had some evil idea that caused Miss Shangguan to move out of the mansion!"

"Your Majesty is wise and only wants to seek justice for Miss Shangguan!"

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense. Shangguan Yuefei wanted to explain something, but her voice was quickly drowned out.

Just then, a noise came from a distance, attracting everyone's attention.

A group of maids came over, accompanying the eldest princess and Princess Jiayin.

Seeing them all gathered together and making a lot of noise, the princess asked in confusion, "What's the commotion?"

It was the arrival of the eldest princess that resolved Shangguan Yuefei and the others' predicament. She immediately complained, "Your Highness, today is your birthday, and someone has deliberately sneaked in to disrupt your happy day!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

The eldest princess glanced around at the ladies present and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Who is this lady pointing to?"

Shangguan Yuefei sneered and pointed in Shangguan Yueyin's direction, "That's her. She came to your birthday party under the name of Miss Shangguan."

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can just ask her to bring out the invitation!"

Shangguan Yuefei firmly believed that it was impossible for her to receive the invitation from the eldest princess. Even if she came with Shen Leyan, it was an invitation from the Shen family and had nothing to do with her!
