Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect it to fall into the hands of the General’s wife. Does the General’s wife want to compose a poem, or do you want to punish yourself by drinking three cups? Don’t worry, the wine in the Eldest Princess’s residence tastes very good. You won’t get drunk even if you drink too much. It nourishes your skin.” Jin Zhi gloated.

There were really many people waiting for Xu Qing to make a fool of herself!

Xu Qing couldn’t help but click her tongue. She was really too detestable! However, she definitely wouldn’t disappoint these people. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be? They were all gloating with schadenfreude…

Qiao Yanqi was even smugger when she saw this. This game was specifically held for Xu Qing. Not only would Xu Qing make a fool of herself, but she would also get Xu Qing drunk. At that time, she would definitely arrange a good show for Xu Qing. After all, drunken sex was big news. With her aunt around, Qiao Yanhui couldn’t blame her. What could she do if Xu Qing tried to show off? Moreover, if Xu Qing was caught hooking up with another man in front of everyone, she didn’t believe that Qiao Yanhui wouldn’t mind!

“Daughter, these peacocks want to see your mother make a fool of herself. What do you think I should do?” Xu Qing touched Xu Hanxue’s little head. Although her voice wasn’t loud, everyone heard her. Of course, she said it on purpose for everyone to hear. Did they really think she was a pushover? Did they really they could bully her however they wanted?

Everyone’s expressions were ugly. Xu Qing was quite discerning! They just wanted to see Xu Qing make a fool of herself. As long as Xu Qing lost face today, even Qiao Yanhui’s reputation would be tarnished and he would become a laughing stock.

However, what did she mean by peacock? Everyone glared at Xu Qing fiercely, but no one dared to scold her back. Of course, it wasn’t just because of their image, but because they were afraid that Qiao Yanhui would make things difficult for them. After all, Qiao Yanhui still valued Xu Qing very much now. They could cause trouble for Xu Qing, but they couldn’t confront her directly.

Xu Qing immediately smiled brightly. She liked to see how these people look like they want to hit her but couldn’t. They could only endure it and grit their teeth in hatred! Xu Qing suddenly realized that she actually had the potential to be a villain. She was so wicked!

“Mom, how can there be peacocks looking at people? Naturally, we have to go to the zoo to look at peacocks,” Xu Hanxue replied very matter-of-factly.

How could a child have any bad intentions? She was just telling the truth.

Xu Tingdeng and Xu Yuandeng didn’t look worried at all. No one was capable of bullying their mother, so they continued to peel walnuts for their sister.

“Since my daughter has said so, I naturally can’t disappoint her. Coincidentally, I haven’t seen a peacock spread its tail in a long time. I’m really looking forward to it.” With that, Xu Qing stood up. The emotions in her eyes were unreadable.

When everyone heard this, their faces turned livid with anger. She was saying that they were all peacocks? Were they not humans? How dare Xu Qing mock them like this?! However, they still had to endure it. How infuriating! Damn it, why did they always suffer because of Xu Qing?

Xu Qing ignored them and said, “Before I went out, my husband repeatedly instructed me not to drink. Although the Eldest Princess’ family’s wine isn’t intoxicating, I don’t dare to drink today, since my husband forbade me from drinking. Therefore, I volunteer to compose a poem. I hope everyone won’t despise me for not doing well.”

When Xu Qing said this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly with a devilish smirk, which stunned them, because of how similar it was to Qiao Yanhui’s signature smirk.

Everyone fell silent. Since Xu Qing had used the War God as an excuse, what else could they say? They couldn’t pressure her or argue with her! Otherwise, their entire clan would pay the price.

As the Eldest Princess sat at the head of the table, she narrowed her eyes. This woman…

“I’d rather die hugging a stick of incense than fall into the north wind.” This was a piece of cake for Xu Qing. In her previous life, she had read so many famous scholars’ poems. Wouldn’t any one of them be able to completely crush these pretentious and shallow women? To put it bluntly, these women’s poems were superficial. There was almost no genuine literary depth or meaning! This was because the women in this place focused most on winning over their husbands and profiting…

How could a truly talented person show off like this? This wasn’t a poetry competition!

Everyone was shocked. Could it be that this woman wasn’t a country woman? How could she recite such a brilliant verse at the drop of a hat? Could it be that she had memorized it in advance?
