“That’s right, Miss, that’s what I said too, but the woman from that family said there was no room for discussion. It’s obvious that she doesn’t want to give you any fish soup!” Xiao Cui’s eyes darted around as she made up her story.

Seeing Xie Yuyan's expression shift from sunny to stormy, Xiao Cui breathed a sigh of relief. This was a sign that her anger had been successfully diverted.

Normally, if the young lady is unhappy, she will beat and kick them, the servants, and she is very afraid of them! It's just that because she is the head maid and has been with Xie Yuyan since childhood, she has more face than the other maids, otherwise she would not have survived until now.

The mistress said that if the young lady were to be betrothed to a good man in the future, she would be allowed to go and serve him. The implication was obvious!

Thinking of this, Xiao Cui blushed. She wondered what kind of husband she would meet in the future. The Xie family's social standing was far superior to that of the mistress, so her future husband would surely be rich and noble!

Seeing this scene, Xie's head guard, Fei Peng, felt extremely annoyed. This concubine's daughter was indeed a worthless thing! He didn't know what the mistress was thinking, that she would actually acknowledge such a concubine's daughter as her husband! Along the way, he had become accustomed to her bizarre behavior. Not only did she completely lack the demeanor of a proper lady, but she also often acted like a shrew from the marketplace.

He knew about the time he sent Xiao Cui to ask for fish soup. That family's cooking was indeed excellent, but what was most surprising wasn't that, but rather that they had managed to find two such large carp here!

As a martial artist, he knew that the scarred man possessed considerable internal strength, and even the seemingly frail woman was remarkably agile. The fact that the family had managed to bring the elderly and children here, with their faces still rosy and their carriage and horses in excellent condition, was enough to show that this group was not to be trifled with!

However, Fei Peng wouldn't say much. He figured Xie Yuyan would eventually learn her lesson and stop. They were exhausted from their journey and didn't want to deal with these trivial matters unless absolutely necessary.

However, he clearly overestimated the magnanimity of this illegitimate daughter.

Xie Yuyan was furious, not just because she didn't get to drink the fish soup, but because all the grievances she had suffered along the way had reached their peak at this moment!

Deep down, she was screaming: these guards eat and take her father's food, yet they won't even help her ask for a bowl of fish soup! What use are such servants?! She refused to believe that she, a young lady of the Xie family, couldn't even buy a bowl of soup!

At this moment, he believed that being recognized by the mistress of the house meant that her status as a young lady of the Xie family was acknowledged, and from then on, she was no longer a lowly illegitimate child, but a young lady of a noble family.

Fueled by anger, Xie Yuyan strode toward Qin Sanniang, followed by the haughty Xiao Cui.

The eldest son was carefully serving soup to the younger son and the youngest daughter. He was the eldest brother and had helped his mother with chores since he was a child, and he did it very well.

"Thank you, big brother!" Xiao Er happily took the bowl and turned to go to where Azhi and the others were. The kids were having a good time, and they were eating together in a group.

Liu and the others didn't pay much attention, since everyone here was family and the children wouldn't go far, especially with the wolfhound Xiaobai following them.

Seeing the waiter running off with a bowl, Xie Yuyan, driven by a sudden surge of malice, kicked a stone at her feet toward the waiter.

The waiter, completely unprepared, felt a sharp pain in his knee and collapsed to the ground before he could even cry out, spilling all the soup in his bowl.

As Fatty saw Xiao Er running this way, she was about to go and help him when she witnessed this scene. Instantly, she felt blood rush to her head, let out a scream, and rushed over, knocking Xie Yuyan to the ground. Fatty's tall and strong body sat on Xie Yuyan, and she began to beat her mercilessly with both hands like a madwoman.

Xiao Cui, unable to bear seeing her young mistress being beaten, joined the fray. However, the fat girl was too strong, and Xiao Cui, who was used to being pampered, was no match for her. She quickly ran away to find reinforcements.

The eldest child carried the second child on his back, with several other children supporting him from behind. Liu and the others had already arrived.

Qin San Niang's face was gloomy. She checked on her son and thankfully, his kneecap wasn't broken; otherwise, he would have suffered terribly on the journey. However, his calf had been cut by a sharp stone, and blood was gushing out, making it look quite gruesome. The two young women, A Zhi and A Nan, already had red eyes and were on the verge of crying.

Rinse the wound clean with water to remove dirt, then disinfect it with iodine, and finally sprinkle Yunnan Baiyao on it. At this time, there was no tetanus shot or anything like that, so the wound had to be treated carefully.

Over there, Wu Chunhua quickly pulled Fatty back; the beating had almost stopped. If they had actually killed someone, the consequences would have been unimaginable! This girl was well-dressed, and those men were all strong and powerful; they might bring trouble to Third Sister and the others, and that wouldn't be good!

Xie Yuyan was beaten up and was no longer as glamorous as before. Her hair was disheveled, her hairpins were scattered all over the ground, and a few were loosely hanging on her head. Her bones were aching.

She glared fiercely at the fat girl and her child, roaring angrily.

"You fatso, just you wait! I'll skin you alive! And all you sluts, sell yourselves to brothels to be ridden and trampled by thousands! And all these peasant men, kill them all and grind their bones to dust!"

With a sidelong glance, Xie Yuyan saw the Xie family's guards running over led by Fei Peng, followed by five or six bodyguards from the escort agency. Only then did Xie Yuyan dare to speak out of turn. That fat girl was incredibly strong, despite her body being covered in fat!

Wu was terrified. This time, Fatty had really gotten herself into big trouble. Seeing those burly men approaching, and knowing that they only had Brother Gu as their side, she was prepared to pay for her daughter's life! Without a second thought, she grabbed Fatty and ran to Liu's side, anxiously saying to Qin San Niang…

"Third Sister, this time Fatty has gotten into big trouble. Those people are not to be trifled with. I'll take the blame, and you take good care of Fatty for me!"

Just now, Qin San Niang had listened carefully to Xie Yuyan's shouting. The fat girl had only beaten the man to stand up for Xiao Er, so Qin San Niang should have been grateful, not stood idly by. Besides, even if she hadn't fought back, those people were always bullies who preyed on the weak and wouldn't have let them go!

"Sister-in-law, please calm down! Take good care of our child!" These words were spoken to Wu Chunhua and He Xiucai, a married couple.

Liao Hongying nodded quickly, feeling a little scared. Those people looked like they knew martial arts, and she was really afraid that San Niang and Gu Qingshan wouldn't be able to beat them.

He Yingyuan nodded slightly, still looking calm. Qin Sanniang was ruthless and even a little strange. In short, these ugly and deformed people were no match for Qin Sanniang and Gu Qingshan!

Is fighting about numbers? No, it's about who has the hardest fist!

However, in the end it all boiled down to a casual remark, "Madam Qin, either give us a favor, or we'll leave none of us alive!"

These people are clearly from prominent families in Jiangzhou. If they get too involved with them, they might have trouble getting around in Jiangzhou in the future.
