Phi-Fic Chapter 302 Making things difficult
Chapter 302 Making things difficult
Most of the Chi people had never been to the capital of Shengling, so the Ministry of Rites warmly invited them to parade and have fun, and to experience the authentic Shengling life.
Jiang Lige was not interested, so he asked the Ministry of Rites to take the Chi people to play.
Manzhu and Yifeng were reluctant to go at first, but Jiang Lige convinced them with just one sentence.
"If you don't go, there won't even be anyone you can talk to in the team. If something happens on the way, are you willing to let our Chi tribe suffer?"
Although Manzhu is usually the most sharp-tongued, she is also the one who protects her children the most.
Upon hearing this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and followed, and called Yifeng over as well.
"Don't worry. Our young master used to be a very arrogant person in the capital. Who would dare to bully her?"
Yifeng glanced at Jiang Lige worriedly, but she nodded with a smile, "Go ahead, don't worry."
Yes, in the past few years that I have known her, she has overcome many difficulties and put down the civil strife among the Chi tribe, and it seems that I have never seen her suffer any loss.
Thinking of this, Yifeng walked away with Manzhu with confidence.
As soon as everyone left, the bustling Jiayi Pavilion suddenly became deserted, and Jiang Lige finally had time to take a good look at the Yanhui Pavilion.
Just as Qiao Wenkang said, Yanhui Pavilion is indeed a nice place to live. When you open the window, you can see a garden full of flowers and the air is full of spring.
Looking at a cluster of green bamboos in the yard, Jiang Lige couldn't help but think of that person, who was like a pine and a bamboo, always tall and vigorous.
Revisiting the old place, Jiang Lige inevitably fell into a whirlpool of memories. Just as he was lost in thought, he heard a lot of noise outside.
somebody is coming.
"Are you Luosang, the young master of the Chi tribe?" The man stood with his hands on his hips, one leg on the threshold, looking down at people with a contemptuous expression.
Jiang Lige was a calm and composed person who strictly followed the rules. "I am Luosang, and who are you?"
"Son of the Minister of Rites, Luo Weitao, I heard you were shouting on the street today that you wanted to see someone from my Shangshu Mansion. This young master came all the way here to let you see for yourself!"
Jiang Lige smiled and said, "I saw it. Mr. Luo can leave now."
Luo Weitao was greatly angered by Jiang Lige's attitude. He immediately stamped his foot and said, "He is a barbarian after all, uneducated and uncivilized. He is extremely rude to guests!"
Jiang Lige remained unperturbed, his gentle words managing to make a powerful statement. "Mr. Luo, you've forgotten that we, the Chi people, are the guests in Sheng Ling's territory. If we're to be polite, it's your Luo family who was disrespectful first."
Luo Weitao was so angry that his face turned red. "Impolite? This young master is really giving you face. The Chi tribe, a little-known barbaric tribe, probably has fewer people in the tribe than our Shengling Beggars' Gang, right? Such a small tribe has the audacity to send a letter to visit my pilgrim. What's the difference between you and those poor relatives who are begging for money? Oh, after all, you are not even relatives. You are just flattering us and asking for benefits!"
Fortunately, the Chi people didn't hear what Luo Weitao said, otherwise, with Manzhu's temper, she would probably turn around and leave with her people.
In this way, all of Jiang Lige’s careful plans were ruined!
Hearing this, Jiang Lige's expression was no longer as calm as before. Her beautiful eyes glared angrily, and she pointed at Luo Weitao's nose and started scolding him.
"Although the Chi clan is small, it also has a thousand-year-old heritage and foundation, and the dignity of the clan cannot be violated. We have not come here to beg for anyone's charity. Mr. Luo's attitude is so contemptuous, not only insulting the Chi clan, but also insulting your own upbringing! It's true that our Chi clan is sparsely populated and small, but although our clan members are few, each of them is loyal to the country and never cares about personal gains and losses. And you, Mr. Luo, what have you done for Sheng Ling? You just rely on the influence of your fathers and flaunt yourself everywhere. People like you are not worthy of being compared with our clan members at all!"
Luo Weitao was shocked by Jiang Lige's sudden anger and couldn't think of any suitable words to refute him for a while. However, Jiang Lige's words were so pertinent and harsh that he was so annoyed that he couldn't save face and immediately shouted in anger.
"Come here, tie up this young master of the Chi tribe for me!"
Even Jiang Lige did not expect Luo Weitao's move. She was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that this idiot would ruin her big plan.
"Master Luo, I'm here on behalf of the Chi Clan! You can't just tie up an envoy from another race!"
"Yes, you are right."
Luo Weitao nodded thoughtfully, and then, surrounded by a group of lackeys, he grabbed Jiang Lige's shoulders.
"Luosang, don't think I don't know what your Chi clan is up to. Aren't you just trying to emulate Nanchu's marriage alliance and support the Chi clan? Oh, exchanging one's body for another's, tell me, what's the difference between your clan and the girls in the brothel? They just want money, and you want power."
The sudden words were like a bucket of cold water, splashing Jiang Lige so hard that he trembled all over.
After all, she was once one of the princesses who were married off to foreign countries.
"Bullshit! A marriage alliance is a major event between the two countries, not something you can take lightly. Generation after generation of princesses who were married off have sacrificed their lives to achieve peace between the two countries and resolve disputes. They are messengers of peace between the two countries, not the so-called bartering of their bodies! Their efforts and sacrifices are not something that an ignorant person like you can slander! Your contempt for the marriage alliance not only insults their sacrifices, but also exposes your own ignorance and narrow-mindedness!"
Luo Weitao usually walked around the capital with his head held high, so how could he have been scolded like this? He immediately argued angrily.
"That's nice to say, but it's a pity that I, Luo Weitao, am not an inexperienced person, so I wouldn't be frightened by these few impassioned speeches from the young master! Your Chi clan's desire for marriage is now obvious to everyone, but has the young master ever thought about why he didn't see the Crown Prince personally welcoming her today? In my opinion, instead of coveting the Crown Prince, it's better to marry me. It's either a marriage of peace or not, so as long as you marry someone from Sheng Ling, it doesn't make much difference."
Jiang Lige was so angry that he laughed on the spot, "Mr. Luo is really arrogant. Let's not talk about whether my Chi clan has any plans for marriage. Even if we do, it won't be your turn, a good-for-nothing second-generation ancestor!"
Luo Weitao's face turned red from being scolded, but he also realized that he could not gain the upper hand in words, so he simply grabbed Jiang Lige's collar and pulled it down, gritting his teeth.
"Okay, I want to see if I'm worthy enough!"
Jiang Lige was horrified, struggling while angrily warning, "Luo Weitao! Are you crazy?! Breaking diplomatic relations is a capital offense!"
Luo Weitao, surrounded by a group of lackeys, was fearless and said with a flattering smile.
"Today, our marriage is complete. I will be your husband. If anything happens to me, you will be a widow for the rest of your life! If you don't want to be a widow, His Majesty will grant us marriage based on our mutual affection. This will also fulfill your plan of marrying into the Chi clan."
