"Then, you are Jiang Ruan?" Shen Ming Zhen was startled. She had already heard the stories regarding Jiang Ruan. She was on good terms with Jiang Su Su, and a few days ago, when Jiang fu had become the subject of public ridicule due to the account circulating about Jiang Ruan's remarks in court, it had caused Jiang Su Su's normally beautiful and refined appearance, and her gentle nature, to transform into a scowling countenance that lasted a few days. In Shen Ming Zhu's eyes, Jiang Ruan was nothing better than a crude and untalented country bumpkin. However, after seeing Jiang Ruan today, she appeared to have a noble bearing equivalent to that of the palace officials. Her appearance was comparable to Jiang Su Su's, and might even be a bit more vibrant.
Jiang Ruan nodded. Jiang Li smiled and said, "Ming Zhen meimei, this is my Da Jiejie. She has just returned from the rural residence and is not familiar with how things are in the capital. This is the first time she has visited your residence."
The manner in which Jiang Li emphasised this statement caused Shen Ming Zhen's eyes to flash with contempt. She said, "The capital and the rural residence are very different. Miss Jiang should be careful."
Lu Zhu and Lian Qiao could not prevent anger from showing on their faces. The two ladies were engaged in a battle, both overt and covert, but Xia Yan was happily chatting away with Shen furen and appeared to not have noticed what was happening. Naturally, however, she would not say a word to help Jiang Ruan out of her embarrassment.
No need to mention Jiang Dan, who was so thoroughly cowed that she dared not utter a single sound. She stood where she was with her head lowered, fervently hoping that no one would notice her. Jiang Li was already gleefully delighting in Jiang Ruan's predicament. What was unexpected was Jiang Su Su's attitude. She stood to one side, smiling slightly, without saying a word.
This was the first time such a scene had occurred. In her previous life, whenever any of the young ladies from the influential families crossed swords with Jiang Ruan, if Jiang Su Su were present, she would definitely speak up on Jiang Ruan's behalf. Perhaps it was to win her trust, or it could have been to burnish her own reputation. However, now, she was unwilling to put in a good word for Jiang Ruan. Could it be possible that she was waiting for Jiang Ruan to lose her composure?
Jiang Ruan simply smiled faintly and kept quiet without responding. In this way, it was as if Shen Ming Zhen's blow had struck a wad of cotton, totally without effect. Shen Ming Zhen sucked in a breath and took hold of Jiang Su Su's hand, saying, "Niang, the furen and jiemei [1]in the main hall have been waiting for a long time now. Would Jiang furen and Su'er Jiejie kindly come this way?"
