Chapter 2430: Chapter 2430: Doesn’t it look like it?
“What?”
Auntie Mei almost fainted upon hearing this.
How many generations has it been? They’ve finally had someone with potential for studying, and he just passed the scholar exam. How can they just revoke it like that?
“No, you can’t do this! On what grounds? My nephew earned his scholar title with real skills. What right do you have to cancel his academic honor? Just because you’re from the royal household, you think you’re so great?”
Why are these people so snobbish? Just because she gossiped a little about An Jiuyue, what’s the big deal?
An Jiuyue hasn’t gotten married, she’s an old maid, and we can’t even talk about it?
Even though that’s what she thought, she wasn’t about to say it out loud, fearing that she’d only make things worse by angering the people in front of her further.
“I’m telling you, I’m… I’m not scared of you. My nephew is a scholar. You can’t just revoke his title because you say so, you…”
“An… An Jiuyue!”
Before she could finish her words, she heard her companion’s shaky voice not far away.
Oh, right, this woman in front of her is An Tu’s daughter, An Jiuyue. Although she hadn’t seen her in years and she’d changed a lot, her general features were still recognizable.
Who would’ve thought, after so many years of not returning, An Jiuyue would come back now!
She pitied Sister Mei in her heart; gossiping about An Jiuyue and bumping into her was like asking for trouble.
It was well-known that An Jiuyue wasn’t someone to be messed with back then. Now that she’s returned from the capital, she’s even more intimidating, and moreover, everyone in the village knows that An Jiuyue married a prince!
So, the man beside An Jiuyue is that prince, and he’s also the brother of An Jiuyue.
Tsk tsk, Sister Mei is done for. She actually managed to provoke these two.
“Don’t come over, don’t come over, help!”
Realizing it was An Jiuyue, that auntie finally gathered some strength, struggled to get up from the ground, and ran toward the village, shouting for help.
Auntie Mei watched her companion run away without even helping her, and was even more furious inside.
But she didn’t dare show it.
“Are you really An Jiuyue?”
How did she end up so unlucky, just for saying a few gossipy words, and bumping into An Jiuyue?
“What, don’t I look like it?”
An Jiuyue, with her free hand, touched her chin and asked Auntie Mei back.
She hadn’t expected that a visit to the place she used to live with her little baby might also lead her to encounter An Jiuyue, and to hear these two talking about how she was with two children.
She suspected that the two children An Jiuyue was with might be little twins.
“Just now, it looked like Auntie Mei was talking quite enthusiastically about my sister-in-law. How about, Auntie Mei, you tell me how exactly An Jiuyue offended you?”
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashing through them.
If this were not the Daqing Kingdom, not the An Clan Village where she’d lived for several years, she would’ve considered killing this foul-mouthed woman. Did she really think her scholar nephew was someone special?
“You… you… I… I…”
Auntie Mei was so scared she was at a loss for words. She hadn’t said anything that wasn’t true about An Jiuyue, had she?
It wasn’t untrue; to her, it was a fact that An Jiuyue was an old maid, and it was a fact that she had two children with her. Where was the lie?
“Jiuyue, let her go, let’s go see An Jiuyue first.”
