Chapter 126 Pretending to claim credit
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Ningwan froze and the others' expressions changed.
The guests below exclaimed in admiration: "No wonder, General Lu has made great contributions before. Some experts say that she is the reincarnation of the Seven Killing Stars!"
"I knew it must be General Lu Qingheng!"
"Besides her, there is no other female general in Daning Kingdom!"
Hearing these words, Jiang Zhouye slammed his fist on the table in anger, "What bullshit! That was clearly Ning Wan's achievement!"
He stood up and shouted at the storyteller, "Are you sure? The female general you were talking about is Lu Qingheng?"
His roar was so loud that the whole building fell silent in an instant, and everyone below looked up.
The storyteller said firmly, "Yes, it's General Lu Qingheng!"
"Besides her, who else has such courage to enter the enemy camp alone and behead the enemy prince!"
"Even men are inferior to her!"
"He is indeed the well-deserved Seven Killing Stars!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhouye was so angry that he almost jumped down to argue, "Bullshit!"
"Have you ever been to a battlefield? Have you ever seen what it's like there? How can you be so sure that it was Lu Qingheng?!"
The storyteller's face darkened. "Of course I haven't been there, but someone must have! How could the news from the border be false?"
"Are you jealous of General Lu Qingheng?"
As soon as these words came out, the people below also began to attack Jiang Zhouye.
"You rich young men, all you know is eating, drinking and having fun. You can't even compare to General Lu Qingheng with a finger, and yet you still have the nerve to slander General Lu."
"You start slandering others just because you can't beat them. Is it so hard to admit that General Lu Qingheng is powerful?"
"She is amazing, she is the number one female hero in Daning Kingdom!"
"That's right! If anyone dares to say that General Lu Qingheng isn't, I'll be the first to disagree!"
The emotions of the surrounding people were aroused and gradually became excited.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the teahouse owner immediately arranged for piano music to divert everyone's attention.
Jiang Ningwan also held Jiang Zhouye back, telling him not to act impulsively.
"This is too much. The person mentioned in this book is clearly Ning Wan! How come she became Lu Qingheng in their mouths?" Jiang Zhouye was very angry.
Jiang Ningwan frowned, "If this is news from the border, then why hasn't there been any news from Huaifeng?"
Lu Qingheng was disgraced in Huaifeng, so logically, this news should have been reported back to Kyoto.
Pei Xunzhi's expression was serious as he speculated, "Could it be that someone has manipulated Ning Wan's achievements and transferred them to Lu Qingheng?"
"Who is so shameless?"
"Who else could it be?" Jiang Zhouye drank the tea in one gulp and put the cup down heavily.
"Lu Qingheng? But isn't she afraid that the truth will be exposed? This matter is not airtight, and everyone on the battlefield knows the truth." Pei Xunzhi was doubtful.
Qin Wenli said quietly, "The news was spread by the people themselves. Even if it was exposed, she could pretend to know nothing."
Jiang Zhouye's face was sullen. "No wonder the restaurants in Kyoto City only recognized Lu Qingheng, the female general, and let her eat and drink for free! It turns out she stole Ning Wan's credit!"
“How shameless!”
Jiang Zhouye looked at Jiang Ningwan and said, "Why don't you say anything? Are you just going to let it go?"
Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment, a chill in her eyes, "Of course I can't just let it go like this."
"I have a plan and I need my cousin's help."
Qin Wenli agreed without hesitation, "What do you want me to do?"
……
A few days later.
Grand Tutor Qin’s 80th birthday.
Almost all the ministers in the court came with their families to congratulate, and the Tai Shi Mansion, which was deserted in the past, became extremely lively.
Jiang Ningwan pushed Qin Shuangchi out of the carriage and happened to meet Duke Jiang and Jiang Xiru going to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Several people entered the Grand Tutor's Mansion one after another. Duke Jiang came forward and exchanged a few words with Qin Shuangchi, "Your Highness looks in good spirits today."
Qin Shuangchi nodded slightly, "It's Ning Wan's credit."
During this period, Jiang Ningwan used all the methods he could, including acupuncture and acupressure every day, and took good care of Qin Shuangchi. Qin Shuangchi's health has been getting better day by day.
In this way, the Shengyuan Yangqi Pills can be consumed more slowly, and Qin Shuangchi can have more time.
Duke Jiang's gaze fell on Jiang Ningwan, and he couldn't help but remind her, "But it's not appropriate for Ningwan to appear on this occasion today."
"Before you divorced your husband, Grand Tutor Qin was very dissatisfied and had a lot of opinions about you. If you show up, Grand Tutor Qin will definitely be unhappy."
……
"Hahahahahaha... Great! I never thought I'd be able to find the Record of the Vast Sea in my lifetime. This old man has no regrets in this life!"
Grand Tutor Qin's hearty laughter spread throughout the yard, and his family was very happy. It had been a long time since they saw Grand Tutor Qin so happy.
"Wen Li, you said that you and Jiang Ningwan found this Record of the Vast Sea together?"
Qin Wenli nodded and said, "Yes, it was Ning Wan who reminded me that Grand Tutor Qin had been looking for this item. We found it together."
Although Ning Wan said there was no need to mention her, he felt that he could not take the credit for nothing.
Hearing this, Grand Tutor Qin turned to look at Jiang Ningwan with a look of admiration in his eyes, and said bluntly, "I was wrong before."
"It is truly rare that a girl like you could achieve such great merit in the Southern Expedition."
"I also heard that the King of Chu's health has improved significantly under your care, which shows that you are not a cunning and mean person."
"I misunderstood you before, and I want to apologize to you!"
After listening to the complaints from Princess Yi and Qin Beihuang, I almost misunderstood Jiang Ningwan. This girl can fight on the battlefield and is also good at cooking. She is clearly a rare and virtuous wife!
Qin Beihuang really doesn't have this blessing.
Jiang Ningwan was flattered. "Grand Master, what are you talking about? How can an elder apologize to a younger person?"
But Grand Tutor Qin said firmly: "If it's wrong, it's wrong. How can we get away with it just because we're old?"
Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised. She had always thought that Grand Tutor Qin was old-fashioned and pedantic, and she never thought that he would actually apologize. He was an upright, sober and responsible old man.
Not only Jiang Ningwan was surprised, but all the guests in the courtyard were shocked.
Qin Beihuang and Lu Qingheng both looked a little embarrassed.
The fact that Grand Tutor Qin recognized Jiang Ningwan so much meant that they did not leave a good impression in Grand Tutor Qin's mind.
Qin Chengqian was even more anxious at this moment. He had been searching for the Hanhailu for so long, how come it fell into Qin Wenli's hands!
Besides, hadn't Qin Wenli been looking for Zhou Han's calligraphy and paintings these days? Why would he give him the Hanhailu?
"Royal brother? Royal brother?" Qin Wenli's sudden call startled him.
When he came to his senses, he realized that everyone was looking at him.
And the brocade box of calligraphy and painting in his hand.
"Royal brother, I heard that you put a lot of effort into preparing the birthday gift for the Grand Tutor. Could you please let us see it?"
As far as he knew, Qin Chengqian had prepared Zhou Han's calligraphy and painting. If he took them out, it would definitely make Grand Tutor Qin angry.
Qin Chengqian came back to his senses and smiled, "It's not a valuable item. It's not as valuable as my third brother's Hanhailu."
As he spoke, Qin Chengqian handed over the brocade box and slowly opened it.
