Chapter 28 It hurts when I hit someone

Yu Shengsheng was taken by Su Yanshu to meet and introduce the invited guests one by one.

The gentlemen were quite polite, raising their tea cups one after another, their eyes moving around, unable to hide their amazement.

The young ladies, however, each had their own thoughts. One of them had a crush on Su Yanshu, and seeing how caring and considerate he was towards Yu Shengsheng, she treated Yu Shengsheng politely.

There are also those who look down on her background and are jealous of her beauty, but the opinions are neither positive nor negative.

Yu Shengsheng didn't care.

"Shengsheng, this is Miss Liu. Her father is also at the border and is the deputy general in front of my father's tent."

As soon as Su Yanshu finished speaking, Miss Liu snorted, "My cousin is so lucky. I heard that both my parents had passed away, so I came here to seek refuge. The Su family is so kind and righteous that they can raise a cousin so well."

Miss Liu's father is General Su's deputy general. She is also very concerned about the affairs of the Su family. She usually sticks to Su Zhiyi, so of course she has to speak up for Su Zhiyi.

"Look at the clothes you're wearing. If you don't know me, you might think you're the daughter of the Su family." Miss Liu looked around. "Where's Princess Rongyang? Why isn't she here?"

Yu Shengsheng said slowly, "Miss Liu, you are joking. I was born in the countryside. My parents died early. I couldn't survive without anyone at home. Fortunately, Madam Su was kind and allowed me to stay in the Su Mansion. I am just a lowly person from the countryside, so how can I be called the daughter of the Su family?"

Miss Liu widened her eyes, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes: "So, you have a bad fate, and you are unlucky for both your father and your mother?"

Yu Shengsheng was secretly happy, but her face turned pale: "I..."

Su Yanshu's face darkened slightly: "Miss Liu, life and death are determined by fate. Shengsheng was still young at the time, and losing her parents was painful. How can you blame her for all this?"

Miss Liu glanced at Yu Shengsheng calmly, and said with a fake smile: "Don't blame me, cousin. I come from a family of military commanders, and I'm straightforward. My words may not sound very nice, but please don't mind."

As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind wrapped in a fist hit her nose.

The smile on Miss Liu's face had not yet disappeared when she was hit head-on. She had never expected such a thing to happen. She immediately burst into tears and snot and almost had a nosebleed.

Miss Liu's maid was almost frightened to death. She tried to comfort her while angrily scolding, "How dare you hit my young lady?"

Jin Baobao retracted his fist and frowned: "Oh, Miss Liu, please don't blame me. I was born a maid and I have a straightforward heart. It hurts a little when I hit people. Please don't mind."

Her tone and expression were exactly the same as Miss Liu's.

"You..." How could Miss Liu bear it? In front of everyone, how could she let this person down? "You slut, I will punish you today!"

She raised her hand to hit him, but Yu Shengsheng grabbed her and said, "Miss Liu, you were the first to hurt me with your words. My maid only protected me. She is mine. If you have something to do, come at me. What's the point of bullying her?"

The image that Yu Shengsheng wants to establish today is that she has an unlucky fate, is unlucky for her parents and husband, and is tough and unreasonable.

Any family with a son, no matter if it is a noble family or a commoner, would not want to marry such a wife.

"Shengsheng," Su Yanshu looked down at her, a smile flashing in his eyes.

He was not annoyed at all, and even felt a little happy.

Shengsheng like this reminded him of his little sister when he just returned home. She seemed timid, but in fact she was just a little wild cat with her claws retracted.

In order to protect his reputation, he did not hesitate to quarrel and fight with others in the street and even threatened to tear people's mouths.

Very impressive.

At this moment, Su Yanshu's heart was shaken for a moment. Should he really marry such a sister to Kong Dezhao?

At this moment, Su Zhiyi's voice rang out: "Miss Liu, I apologize to you on behalf of my sister. This maid is new and doesn't really know the rules. I will discipline her properly later."

Su Zhiyi came closer and looked up at Su Yanshu: "Second brother, are you okay?"

Su Yanshu felt warm in his heart. Su Zhiyi has always been considerate, especially towards him, always worried and concerned about him.

Su Yanshu's smile became even warmer: "Second brother is fine."

"Shengsheng," Su Yanshu looked at the way Yu Shengsheng protected Jin Baobao, and it was indeed somewhat similar to when she protected him back then.

Unfortunately, it was him that was protected at the beginning;

Now, the one being protected is a lowly wild maid.

In front of so many distinguished guests.

Su Yanshu's smile faded slightly: "Stop messing around, apologize to Miss Liu quickly."

Miss Liu walked up to Su Zhiyi and said, "Princess, you came at the right time. Look at the punch she gave me."

Yu Shengsheng smiled faintly: "I saw Miss Liu wearing a riding outfit today, which was different from others. I thought you had good skills, but I didn't expect that it was not the case."

If so, could he be punched in the face by a maid in public?

The beating just now was a humiliation, and these words now are even more so.

Su Yanshu frowned: "Shengsheng!"

Yu Shengsheng raised her eyebrows slightly, waiting for him to continue.

Go ahead, scold her, punish her. Today's scene will definitely get out, and there's no doubt that Prince Kong won't know about it.

Su Yanshu also thought of this and forced himself to suppress his emotion.

Miss Liu was not convinced: "Humph, what's wrong with me wearing riding clothes? Whether I have skills or not is not a reason for you to condone the maid to beat people."

She rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "That's right. After all, you once injured someone in the enclosure and harmed the princess. You are really a master and a slave."

Yu Shengsheng said nothing and looked at Su Zhiyi: "Does the princess think so too?"

Su Zhiyi cursed in her heart, Miss Liu, what a fool, why did she bring up these things at this time? Was she reminding others that she was disabled in front of so many people?

"Miss Liu only said that she was beaten, but she didn't say why she was beaten," Lu Xingzhan took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "If someone pointed at my nose and said that I was unlucky for my parents, that wouldn't be solved with just one punch."

"This... cousin, you are still living under someone else's roof, you are too cautious, otherwise you would have beaten her up badly, right?"

"It's really rare to ask the bullied to apologize," Lu Xingzhan raised his voice, "Hey, Mr. Su, is this your family tradition?"

Su Yanshu was already feeling angry, and these words were like a bowl of oil, instantly making him furious.

"Mr. Lu," Su Yanshu said, smiling, "It's just a small dispute between women. How can it be related to family traditions?"

"Swearing at someone will bring bad luck to their parents and ruin a woman's reputation, so this is called a small dispute?" Lu Xingzhan put down his teacup and bowed, "The views of the great scholar Su are indeed different from others. I admire him."

Su Yanshu looked at Yu Shengsheng with sharp eyes.

Everything was fine, but he had to cause trouble.

It's this Lu San who's stepping forward again. Could it be that they really have some private dealings with each other?

He hardened his heart and decided that no matter whether it was true or not, the news that Yu Shengsheng was going to marry Kong Dezhao must be spread today.

Su Zhiyi smiled and said, "Miss Liu, for my sake, don't worry about it. You have always liked my red cape, so I will give it to you when you leave."

Miss Liu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Princess."

Su Zhiyi nodded and looked at everyone: "My second brother invited everyone here today to enjoy the lotus and drink tea. It just so happens that I have some tea that the Queen Mother gave me. Everyone, please have a taste."

She waved her hand gently, and the maids immediately came forward to replace the tea for everyone.

Su Yanshu let out a breath slowly. Zhiyi understood his heart best. Even if she had to give up the things she loved, she wanted his business to go smoothly.

Su Yanshu leaned over and whispered, "Don't give her your red cloak. Second brother will send her away with something else."

Su Zhiyi tilted his head and smiled: "How can what I said in public not count? The cloak is not important, second brother's face is the most important."

Su Yanshu's heart warmed up and he held her shoulders, wishing he could hold her in his arms.
