As soon as Xu Jiuyan finished speaking, the maid beside her stood alone in front of Liu Huan and Su Wan.

Liu Huan turned to look at her, "What do you want to do?"

A young lady scoffed, "What? I should be asking you that, you lowly servant, why don't you bow to us?"

Liu Huan scoffed, "Are you mentally challenged? You expect people to bow to you every time you see them."

The young woman was furious: "You..."

Another young lady said, "Who is this person? Could she be someone's wet nurse? Servant people are only fit to play with other servants."

Xu Jiuyan watched from the side. After saying "Stop" at the beginning, he didn't say another word. It was all his lackeys talking.

Liu Huan turned to look at the young lady who had spoken. Her clothes and appearance clearly indicated that she was not from a high-ranking official's family. Liu Huan's eyes swept over her from head to toe, and she sneered, "Then what are you? Miss Xu's personal maid, or a lackey?"

The young lady was wearing a typical light pink dress; usually, only maids wore pure pink dresses.

"Who are you calling a maid?"

"Whoever is furious is the one being talked about."

Liu Huan was about to leave when Xu Jiuyan stopped her again, saying, "Even though you've left the Prince's mansion, that doesn't erase the fact that you were a maid."

“Miss Wang was just telling the truth. How could you get so angry and say such things to her? Quickly take your wet nurse friend and apologize to Miss Wang.”

The people nearby who were also preparing to buy clothes started pointing and whispering.

"So pretty, she's only cut out to be a maid."

"You just don't understand. The maids in wealthy families are all this beautiful. They all have the chance to become concubines in the future."

"No wonder"

Su Wan was very angry at what everyone said. She wanted to go forward and argue, but Liu Huan held her back.

It's not worth arguing about a bunch of irrelevant people.

"It seems that Miss Xu is indeed as beautiful and kind-hearted as the rumors say. Not only that, but she can also make the ladies around her so devoted to you that they would risk their lives for you. I really didn't expect that."

Xu Jiuyan's maid stepped forward, "How dare you speak to my young lady like that!"

After saying that, she raised her hand to slap Liu Huan, but Liu Huan grabbed her hand and slapped her across the face. "You're the one who's being insolent. What, Miss Xu, are you finally letting your servant run rampant?"

The young lady standing nearby stared in disbelief and said, "You guys, hold her down! I'll teach her a lesson myself."

"Who dares!"

The princess entered the room and stood in front of Liu Huan, saying, "Anyone who dares to lay a hand on me, come up and try."

The maidservant naturally wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the princess. Xu Jiuyan said, "Sister-in-law, I really can't believe it. You, a princess, can play with maidservants and wet nurses."

"Xu Jiuyan, your targeting of Huanhuan is nothing more than jealousy. You're jealous that Lord Su likes her and doesn't accept you, but what can you do about it?"

"Lord Su would rather like a maid or get engaged to a young girl than like you, the daughter of a third-rank official. You should reflect on whether it's your own fault for being too ugly or for being too vicious."

The princess showed no mercy in her words, even though the other party was her sister-in-law.

Xu Jiuyan blushed, "You..."

"What do you mean, 'me'?"

Xu Jiuyan suddenly changed her attitude and became weak, "Sister-in-law, even if you don't like me, there's no need to slander me outside."

“I know you are a princess, and I know that my mother didn’t let you go so that my brother and I could live in the princess’s mansion. But you shouldn’t take your anger out on me. Why do you have to wrong me like this?”

Everyone knew that the princess wanted to move to the princess's mansion, but no one was clear on whether they had argued. After hearing her say this, everyone started discussing who was telling the truth.

The princess didn't care what others thought. She grabbed Chang Rong's hand and said, "Come on, let's go shopping. Let's not bother with a bunch of lunatics."

Xu Jiuyan chased after her, saying aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law, so you'd rather go shopping with a maid or wet nurse than with me?"

Passersby, bewildered by her shout, stopped to look at them.

Su Wan's face flushed, and Chang Rong looked at Xu Jiuyan and said solemnly, word by word.

"She wasn't a wet nurse; she was Lord Su's older sister and a great mother."

"It's just that my sister's figure is slightly chubby temporarily after giving birth, why does Miss Xu have to slander my sister like this?"

"Or is it that Miss Xu looks down on women who have given birth? Miss Xu is also a woman, why be so aggressive?"

Upon hearing this, the women who had previously been looked down upon because of their out-of-shape figures immediately stopped and joined in indignation, saying, "This lady is right."

"We've gained a little weight because of having children, so who does it bother? Everyone has a mother and a father, and no one is more noble than anyone else. Did you spring out of a rock?"

This sparked public outrage. Seeing so many people targeting her, Xu Jiuyan became furious and said, "What do you bunch of troublemakers know? It's none of your business, so don't interfere."

"You troublemaker, let me, this troublemaker, have a good chat with you."

A middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward. "I've never seen such a vicious girl as you. You look down on women who have given birth and call us troublemakers. What, are you planning to never get married or have children?"

When Xu Jiuyan saw the older women in the dress surrounding her, she became frightened. "I...I didn't say that."

"Everyone saw it, and you still lied. You're not only vicious but also full of lies. You deserve to be unwanted."

Some even started crying, saying, "If women could work, why would I want to just stay at home as a woman whose figure has gone out of shape?"

"That's right, I'm no worse than some men."

"Today we were even looked down upon by an unmarried young lady. Why is our life so miserable?"

The incident escalated to another level. Xu Jiuyan wanted to defend herself, but the princess stopped her, saying, "What else do you want to say? Think about how to get out of here and how to explain yourself when you get back."

Xu Zijin and her friends, who were out having a small gathering with friends, saw a crowd gathered in the distance. When they went to see what was going on, they found that it was their wife and sister who were being watched.

He immediately led the man out with his guards.

What's going on here?

"What brings Miss Liu here? And who is this gentleman?"

Liu Huan patted himself down and said, "Thank you, Young Master Xu. This is my eldest sister, Su Wan."

Upon hearing the surname Su, Xu Zijin knew she was Su Yi's older sister and became respectful. "So it's my elder sister who has come to the capital. I've often heard Brother Su mention her, but I never expected to meet her in person today."

Su Wan also bowed slightly, "Greetings, Young Master Xu."

Liu Huan noticed that Su Wan wasn't in high spirits. He then used an excuse to take her away.

Back in the carriage, Su Wan looked at her slightly plump figure and said, "Huanhuan, do I really look like a wet nurse?"

Liu Huan held her hand and said earnestly, "Sister, she only said that to target me. No matter who was with me today, she could find a reason to criticize me."

"Don't overthink it. Everyone goes through this after giving birth. Your body needs time to recover. Actually, you look even better this way. You have a lot of charm."

Su Wan was not comforted. She said, "But I want things to go back to how they were before."

Liu Huan pulled her close and promised, "I will help you, sister. Don't worry, I'm here. I will definitely get your figure back to normal."

Hearing this, Su Wan smiled and said, "I believe you."

At that moment, they never imagined that a simple argument would trigger a chain reaction.
