Chapter 38 This scumbag!

Suddenly, Yu Zhiyi's expression changed, and she turned her head to look at her: "Why are you here?"

She was so engrossed in arguing with someone that she didn't notice Du Ziheng had arrived.

The thought that he had heard her use the word "husband" made her feel nauseous.

She said that only to provoke these women.

She would protect Du Ziheng's dignity, but only in the name of protecting her own and the Du Prime Minister and his wife's dignity. She didn't want to be pointed at and gossiped about wherever she went.

These people may seem sympathetic, but how many people in the world can truly empathize with others?

Most people just want to make a joke out of them.

and……

After today, if Du Ziheng had any sense of shame, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble outside anymore.

He would either break off his relationship with You Bingyue or bring her to his mansion and make her his concubine.

Regardless of what he does or chooses, Yu Zhiyi is happy to see it happen.

The noble ladies, following Yu Zhiyi's words, also saw Du Ziheng and were surprised: "Young Master Du?"

Du Ziheng suppressed his chaotic emotions and walked to Yu Zhiyi's side: "I came here after hearing that you were here."

The viewing banquet at Jinxiu Pavilion was originally intended for all distinguished groups, which naturally included not only women but also men.

However, most men are not interested in such banquets, so apart from a few men who love their wives very much or sons who have to accompany their mothers, there are very few male guests.

However, even though we know that many chairs will be empty, we still can't do without them.

Du Ziheng sat down opposite Yu Zhiyi. Feeling guilty, he wanted to make amends: "If you see any clothes you like later, just buy them."

Yu Zhiyi was somewhat surprised.

The sun must have risen in the west.

In a short while, she could tell that he wanted to make amends because he felt guilty.

When a sucker comes knocking on her door, she naturally won't refuse.

Besides, half of this money will eventually end up in her hands.

"Are you sure you want to give this to me, young master?" Although she knew that this man would not do anything like taking back a gift, Yu Zhiyi still wanted to ask clearly, so as not to cause trouble when Nanfeng Bookstore was about to close down.

"nature."

"No matter what happens in the future, you won't go back on your word? You won't try to get it back?" Yu Zhiyi asked again.

Du Ziheng was speechless for a moment before saying helplessly, "Do you really think I'm that kind of person?"

Yu Zhiyi remained noncommittal: "Perhaps you're not that kind of person, but who knows if you'll become that kind of person after being influenced by someone's words?"

Du Ziheng remained silent.

Thinking about what had happened these past few days, he was too ashamed to deny it and could only repeatedly assure them: "Don't worry, I will absolutely not ask for the skirt or money in any form."

"good."

Yu Zhiyi then smiled happily.

The two weren't speaking loudly, and with so many people in the hall, it was difficult for others to hear their conversation. All they could see was Yu Zhiyi's beautiful face with a happy smile, and Du Ziheng's seemingly helpless yet doting smile.

The noble ladies: "..."

If this doesn't count as love.

Yu Jiaojiao clenched her fists angrily, her long nails almost digging into her flesh.

Is Du Ziheng blind?!

She is the true daughter of the Yu family, a lady of high birth with the true bloodline of the Minister's family!

But he showed her no kindness whatsoever!

Now, however, he treats that imposter with extreme gentleness!

What happened to your promise to only love You Bingyue?!

Yu Zhiyi ignored the gaze that seemed to pierce through her from not far away. After receiving Du Ziheng's assurance, she was in a good mood and didn't bother to argue.

After all, once today's events get out, Hongluan's fame will rise to a new level, allowing her to better establish herself in Jinxiu Pavilion.

This can be considered as proof of her own strength.

I believe her long-cherished wish will soon be fulfilled.

Before long, the viewing banquet began.

The manager of Jinxiu Pavilion went up on stage first, said a few polite words, and then invited a geisha to play the pipa.

The beautiful and melodious pipa music enlivened the atmosphere in the banquet hall.

Next came the display of the clothes.

The only designs worthy of a viewing banquet at Jinxiu Pavilion are those presented by the top embroiderer Xin, so the banquet always features the five top embroiderers taking turns showcasing their garments.

The first to step onto the stage was the most senior embroiderer.

All three of this person's outfits feature floral elements and bold colors, making them strikingly beautiful and instantly captivating.

After the first round of clothing displays, a storyteller took the stage and told the love story of a rich girl and a scholar.

The love story is epic, and in the end, the rich girl abandons everything to be with the scholar, and the scholar lives up to expectations, passing the imperial examination with flying colors and becoming the rich girl's wife.

The ladies present were captivated by what they heard. At that moment, many of them hoped that their beloved would work hard for them so that they could be granted the title of Imperial Noblewoman.

The storyteller was very satisfied with the audience's reaction.

He was the most famous storyteller in town; even the most mundane stories became unforgettable when told by him.

Just then, he heard a disdainful sneer.

The voice sounded like laughter at first glance, but it didn't give people any pleasant feeling; it was more like sarcasm.

The storyteller looked over and saw that the person who had uttered this mocking laugh was a young and beautiful woman dressed in a floral dress.

The storyteller's heart skipped a beat the moment he saw the man's face.

So beautiful!

It is so beautiful that it cannot stir even the slightest ripple of filth in one's heart.

The storyteller looked away, pretending not to hear the sarcastic voice.

He has told this story countless times over the years.

But the more he talked, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Especially after he became famous and his family became increasingly wealthy, he felt a little nauseous every time he talked about it.

He has a daughter too.

He could be considered a wealthy man, at least.

The thought that his daughter might abandon her family and elope with a poor boy with no future, even if the boy eventually becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, would suffocate him and keep him awake at night.

However, the storyteller didn't mind, but Yu Jiaojiao exclaimed in surprise: "Sister, were you expressing your dissatisfaction just now?"

She then asked with an innocent look, "But why, sister? Don't you think this gentleman's speech is bad?"

All eyes turned to them, a mixture of disdain, disgust, schadenfreude, and indifference.

Du Ziheng frowned. At first, he also thought Yu Zhiyi was impolite because of her obviously impolite behavior. However, when he thought about what had happened recently, he couldn't help but wonder if she had discovered something.

Is there something wrong with the storyteller?

“Yi’er is not a rude person, there must be some reason.”

His words caused a huge stir in the small hall.

Is Young Master Du really spoiling that fake heiress like this?

It's so obvious, yet he chooses to turn a blind eye?

Yu Jiaojiao scratched her palm until it bled in anger.

What a scumbag!

Scumbag!

Yu Zhiyi was even more surprised, her gaze towards Du Ziheng filled with confusion.

A moment later, she became alert.

Could this person be trying to get her to plead for You Bingyue?

Don't even think about it.
