[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Chapter 192 Contest

Hearing this, Madam Yu frowned slightly, and a hint of shock flashed across her eyes.

What she meant by what she said just now was that Rong Enqing asked Dana Qiao to make things difficult for Sun.

Unexpectedly, Rong Enqing took advantage of the familiarity in her tone and responded harshly. The meaning of her words was clearly saying that they were old friends, and she was still wronging her. What was her intention?

Moreover, Rong Enqing also made fun of herself, which made people think that she was humorous and generous, and she earned a lot of goodwill.

It was like she was punching cotton and couldn't get it to work, and she also had a mouthful of ashes that she couldn't spit out or swallow.

Mrs. Yu felt depressed, but she still had a smile on her face. After Rong Enqing finished speaking, she spread her hands towards Sun and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. Since Mrs. Rong has said so, I can only do nothing to help you."

As he said this, he sat down next to Rong Enqing with a smile.

"Since Madam Rong and the county lady are not going upstairs, I will sit with you on the first floor."

At this moment, Sun's face turned pale. She tried to persuade them pitifully for a while, but seeing that the three people were indifferent, Sun had no choice but to leave politely and hurried back upstairs to get help.

As soon as Sun left, Madam Yu raised her hand and pointed at Rong Enqing, smiling and scolding him, "You are so old, yet you are still so unreasonable."

Rong Enqing also responded with a smile: "No matter how old you are, everyone has a temper. How uncomfortable would it be to keep your anger to yourself?"

"That's right." Princess Anyang echoed, "If you can't do whatever you want, what's the point of living?"

Not long after, as a few people were chatting and laughing, they saw a group of people coming down from the upstairs.

The officials and their wives on the first floor all stood up, some saluted, some greeted. For a moment, there was a commotion.

Rong Enqing subconsciously looked towards the stairs.

Many of the people coming down from upstairs were familiar faces, including Madam Meng from the Prime Minister’s family, Madam Zheng from the Duke of Anguo’s mansion, and even Cui from Liang Xueshi’s family…

Cui was the person with the lowest status among the invited guests today. She was only a fifth-rank official, but she was the sister-in-law of Concubine Liang.

Rong Enqing didn't know the person walking in front.

At this moment, Madam Yu beside her smiled and introduced her: "The one walking in front is Yang Shangshu's wife, Zuo."

Rong Enqing nodded and couldn't help but take a closer look at Zuo.

Zuo was also in her forties, not much different from her. However, with her high nose, thin lips, prominent cheekbones, and sharp eyebrows, she looked like someone who was not easy to get along with.

Soon, Zuo and his group arrived.

Rong Enqing and others also stood up quickly.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Zuo Shi said with a smile in a joking tone: "County Lady, two madams, I have invited all the distinguished guests on the third floor to come down to help. Three great Buddhas, why don't you follow me upstairs?"

Is this an attempt to gain the upper hand? Or is this a way of kidnapping people with reason? Is this an attempt to overwhelm them with force?

Rong Enqing remained calm, and before he could figure out what to do, Madam Yu beside him smiled and said, "Oh, Madam Zuo, please don't count me in. I'm just a companion.

"You can call me anytime and I'll go upstairs at any time. You should focus all your attention on the county princess and Madam Rong." After saying that, he walked to Zuo's side.

Rong Enqing couldn't help but frown slightly. This Yu was really a fence-sitter. However, considering the unknown deep hatred between her and Yu, it was understandable that Yu did this.

But by doing this, Yu undoubtedly put herself and Princess Anyang in a position where they did not know what was good for them.

Zuo nodded to Yu with a smile in her eyes to show her gratitude, and then she set her eyes on Rong Enqing and Anyang County Princess again.

"County Lady, Madam Rong, what do you two have to say?"

Princess Anyang looked at Rong Enqing.

To be honest, she didn't care where she sat. But she couldn't let Madam Rong be alone. She couldn't let Madam Rong be bullied!

Not to mention that she and Madam Rong were close friends regardless of age difference, even after Madam Rong had interacted with her several times, Nanny Zhou had come to think highly of Madam Rong and had specifically instructed her to protect Madam Rong more in public.

Therefore, she gave the decision to Mrs. Rong. Whether Mrs. Rong was ready to settle the matter peacefully or seek justice for the previous humiliation, she would stand on her side.

Rong Enqing received the gaze of Anyang County Lady and felt relieved. So, he looked at Zuo and said, "Didn't Madam Zuo arrange for me to sit on the first floor? I think the first floor is good, so let's not change it."

Rong Enqing refused to give in and exposed the Yang family's deliberate embarrassment in public.

After hearing this, Zuo's eyes suddenly turned cold, but she still smiled, "Alas, they all said that the maid had made a mistake, why is Madam Rong still not angry? How about this, I will call that maid to Madam Rong again, and I will kill her or chop her up, it's all up to you."

It was such a nice banquet, but the host was forced to say things like "I want to kill you or cut you up", which was somewhat unlucky.

Cui, who was standing by, could not stand it any longer and immediately said sarcastically, "Madam Rong, this is too unreasonable, isn't it?"

Madam Meng also agreed with a serious face, "Yes. It is said that one should not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's. Madam Zuo has personally invited us and invited so many of us to accompany her. Madam Rong should know how to advance and retreat."

Zuo looked at the two of them gratefully, and then looked at Rong Enqing with a provocative and disdainful look, "Madam Rong, do you need me to call that old woman over?"

Want her to bow her head and apologize to her? You're just dreaming! How dare a poor man put on airs with her? Don't you even consider your own worth?

Rong Enqing sighed deeply and said wearily, "No need. I am the one who caused trouble for Madam Zuo. I know myself well. Since your house does not welcome me, I will take my leave now."

Princess Anyang quickly reached out to support her and said with a smile, "Madam, I will go with you."

As they talked, they were about to walk out.

Seeing this, Zuo's face suddenly changed. He quickly blocked the two people's way and said anxiously: "You can't leave!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes flashed with surprise.

Rong Enqing sneered and said coldly: "Is this a prison? After we come here, we are not allowed to leave?"

Zuo said quickly, "You can go, but Princess Anyang cannot go."

Hearing this, Rong Enqing couldn't help but laugh. Stopping her would be fine, but how dare Zuo stop Anyang County Lord? Perhaps he had never seen Anyang County Lord's power.

As expected, as soon as Zuo finished speaking, Princess Anyang yelled angrily, "Bah! Is there any place in this world where I, Xie Huan, can't go? I can even come and go freely in the imperial palace! Can't I leave your little Yang Mansion today?"

As he said this, he loudly ordered Ruhua who was waiting by the side not far away: "Ruhua, kick away all those who are blocking the way!"
