Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 074 Imperial Sword Test

The day of the piano music inspection ended with everyone's sighs.

No matter what, Jiang Li's "Eighteen Beats of the Hujia" on this day became a hot topic for people in Yanjing City. The suspicion about the upper three gates dissipated a lot for a while. The piano skills displayed by Jiang Li also made many people begin to re-examine the bet between Miss Jiang Er and the daughter of the Meng family. In the gambling house, some people even began to choose to bet on Jiang Li to win.

These changes are bit by bit, but they are pervasive. It seems that everyone has reached a consensus overnight: Jiang Li is no worse than other noble ladies in Yanjing.

This is naturally a good change for Jiang Li, but not for some people. Not to mention the other female students of Mingyi Hall who were stepped on by Jiang Li, even the other owner of this bet, Meng Hongjin, is also fidgeting at this moment.

In the Meng family, Meng Youde has not returned to the mansion yet, and Mrs. Meng is also sitting in the hall sighing. Meng Hongjin locked herself in the boudoir, angrily knocked over all the paper and pens on the table, and looked irritable, but if you look closely, there is a trace of panic in that irritability.

Unconsciously, things have come to this point. Meng Hongjin still feels that everything is like a dream when she thinks about it now. She couldn't understand why something that was originally set in stone had become what it is now. She had heard from the servants' private gossip that about her bet with Jiang Li, people in major gambling houses had started to buy Jiang Li. What did this mean? This meant that, at least in the eyes of outsiders, she might lose to Jiang Li.

In fact, not only outsiders thought so, but even Meng Hongjin herself had lost her initial confidence. Meng Hongjin understood that she was probably deceived by Jiang Li. The so-called knowing nothing was just lies made up by Jiang Li to deceive her. Jiang Li probably had the idea of ​​making her look bad from the beginning, so she dug a trap to force her into the game by provoking her. In fact, Jiang Li knew everything.

But the words had already been spoken, and the whole Yanjing City knew about the bet between her and Jiang Li. Now it was too late to withdraw the bet.

The maidservant beside her advised: "Miss, don't worry too much. Tomorrow, you will have two subjects that you are best at, Imperial Defence and Sheath. As long as you win in these two subjects, Miss Jiang will not be the first."

"If I'm not the first, I lose too." Meng Hongjin said coldly. In Jiang Li's bet, if she is not the last in Mingyi Hall, she will kneel down and apologize to her. If Jiang Li is better than her, she will kneel down and apologize to her at the gate of the Imperial College. If she is not only better than herself, but also the first in the entire school exam, she will take off her outer clothes at the gate of the Imperial College to apologize to her!

Three bets, one more vicious than the other. Now Jiang Li is the first in the first four subjects, so she is naturally not the last, and she is better than her. Even if she wins the first in Imperial Defence and Sheath, at most Jiang Li failed to win the first place. According to the bet, Meng Hongjin has to kneel down and apologize to Jiang Li at the gate of the Imperial College.

Meng Hongjin can never accept that she has ended up in such a situation.

If she didn't want to lose her reputation, she would have to find a reason to break the bet, but if she did that, wouldn't she be the laughing stock of the entire Yanjing City?

She must not let that happen!

Suddenly, a sinister thought from before once again entered Meng Hongjin's mind.

In the archery arena, swords and arrows are blind. There were also women who were thrown off the horse when riding in the inspection field, but the injury was not too serious. They were frightened and recovered after a few days at home.
