The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 192 Yang Manman draws public anger

When he saw Lu Yan, Li Zheng felt guilty for a moment and subconsciously pulled his arm back.

However, Yang Manman looked calm and said with a smile: "Ms. Lu, you came at the right time. Li Zheng and I were planning to discuss with them where to go for a drink later. Do you want to join us?"

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Yan to speak, Yang Manman patted her head again.

"Oh, I am confused. How could a well-read lady like Miss Lu go drinking with us?"

The tone sounds carefree, but it always makes people feel that there is a hint of sarcasm, as if a well-read girl in the boudoir should be laughed at.

Lu Yan's face was ugly. "In front of so many people, Miss Yang and my fiancé were flirting with each other. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Shame? Li Zheng and I are good brothers, there is nothing to be ashamed of." Yang Manman said righteously.

Li Zheng quickly said: "Lv Yan, don't misunderstand, Manman is just like this, free and unrestrained, she..."

"Li Zheng!" Lu Yan interrupted Li Zheng and looked at him disappointedly. "Have you forgotten what you promised in front of my father before? If you really like Yang Manman, our engagement can be cancelled. But you promised not to contact Yang Manman again, but you are still trying to get along with her like this. Where do you put the reputation of our Lu family?"

After Lu Yan finished speaking, many people, especially the women present, began to whisper.

So the Lu family wanted to cancel the engagement before, but it ended up in nothing because Li Zheng promised not to have any contact with Yang Manman anymore?

If that's the case, then Li Zheng is really untrustworthy!

Before Li Zheng could speak, Yang Manman's face turned dark first.

"Promise not to contact me? Li Zheng, what do you mean by that?"

"No, that was my father's idea, not mine." Li Zheng immediately explained, "Manman, how could I possibly say something like that."

Seeing that Li Zheng didn't look like he was lying, Yang Manman snorted, "That's better. If you dare to put women before friends, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

As he said that, he raised his hand and hit Li Zheng again.

They seemed to be good brothers, but he did not forget to glance at Lu Yan and gave her a provocative look.

Lu Yan looked at Li Zheng and Yang Manman flirting and her face turned red with anger.

"Li Zheng, since you don't want to, why didn't you cancel the engagement before? And you, Yang Manman, you are the daughter of the Duke's Mansion after all. You are involved with someone else's fiancé, are you so shameless!"

"Who are you calling shameless?" Yang Manman looked at Lu Yan coldly and smiled contemptuously, "I've already told you that Li Zheng and I are just brothers. You are so petty that you have to think of getting involved with us. Do you think I'm like you, with a head full of love between men and women and something dirty?"

When Lu Yan saw Yang Manman and Li Zheng being so intimate, she was already filled with rage. Now, when she heard Yang Manman's humiliating words, she was completely overwhelmed by the rage. She pointed at her and cursed, not caring that there were other people present.

"Yang Manman, it's obviously you who behaves promiscuously, hanging out with men all day, yet you still have the nerve to slander me!"

"What do you mean by dissolute behavior? Do you really want me to be like you, never leaving the house all day, staying at home like a quail, wearing nothing but makeup and clothes?"

Yang Manman's words immediately aroused public anger.

"Miss Yang, who says that we women only know how to wear rouge and dresses when we stay in the boudoir?"

"That's right, and no one asked you to stay at home, but you can't go out every day to seduce someone's fiancé."

"You are right. How can you be so rude? Miss Lu's grandfather is the Grand Tutor after all. If you don't want to save face, the Lu family still needs it."

The female members of the family were already dissatisfied with Yang Manman's behavior, and after someone spoke up, several others immediately joined in the criticism.

Yang Manman's face looked a little ugly, but she soon snorted and laughed, "You are clearly jealous!"

"Why are you jealous?"

"Of course she's jealous of my popularity." Yang Manman said without hesitation.

In the pavilion, Jiang Suining, who was watching the fun, chuckled.

Yang Manman, isn’t it enough that the public outrage over this suspect is not enough?

After chuckling, she suddenly glanced sideways towards the rockery on her right.

Chu Jingyue was watching the excitement with great interest. Just as she was about to talk to Jiang Suining, she saw her turn her head to look at the rockery. "Suining, what's wrong?"

Jiang Suining frowned, she felt as if someone was looking at her.

But after looking around the rockery and not seeing any human figure, Jiang Suining withdrew his gaze.

"nothing."

Maybe she saw it wrong.

Originally, there were not many female relatives who spoke up to refute Yang Manman, but once these jealous words came out, many people became unhappy.

"Jealous? Why should we be jealous of you? Are we jealous that you hang out with men all day and don't act like a woman?"

"Exactly. Are you still jealous that the Duke and his wife are so angry with you? I'm afraid your sister didn't want the spot for today's opening banquet, so it fell on you. Otherwise, why would she let you out to embarrass yourself?"

"Sister Wang, what you said is not right. Even if the Duke doesn't want her to come out and embarrass herself, she can't stop herself from sneaking out. Our house is close to the Duke's Mansion. I heard that in order to run away and hang out with men, she climbed over the wall and pretended to be a servant. She did everything she could."

"Shut up, what do you know? You're gossiping here. I really look down on you!" Yang Manman gritted her teeth.

Although she had the ability to make Lu Yan very angry, she was inevitably at a disadvantage facing so many people.

So she immediately looked at Li Zheng and the men who had just surrounded her and talked to her.

"Look, I told you that these women are full of jealousy every day. I just had a few casual conversations with you, openly and honestly, but they can be so jealous and slander me like this. I don't even know how to say bad things about others in private."

Most of the men who had just been chatting lively with Yang Manman looked at each other and said nothing.

Although they think Yang Manman is interesting, it does not mean that they are willing to stand on Yang Manman's side and offend so many officials' families.

Of course, there are also those who don't care and deliberately stir up trouble.

“What Miss Yang said is right, no, what Brother Yang said is right, this is clearly hearty and free and easy.”

Li Zheng frowned, worried that Yang Manman would become the target of public criticism, so he spoke to Lu Yan.

"Lü Yan, you really misunderstood Manman. There is no personal relationship between her and me, and she... doesn't like me either."

The last sentence reveals a hint of disappointment.

Hearing this defense, Yang Manman was very proud. She deliberately patted Li Zheng's shoulder again and sighed with pretended sympathy.

"It's really not easy for you, having such a jealous fiancée. You haven't even gotten married yet, but she's still controlling who you make friends with. If you get married, she won't even let you go out."
