Chapter 358 Backfired

Most of the onlookers were scholars. Seeing how talented she was, they followed her here to see what kind of couplet she could come up with this time.

Chen Fanghua glanced at the indifferent Su Yue and picked a couplet that was more difficult to match.

"You are so talented, young lady. You can even write such a difficult couplet. I really admire you."

A scholar immediately stepped forward, bowed, and praised.

Chen Fanghua glanced at Murong Li and said coquettishly, "I don't dare to say that you are so talented, I just have some interest."

The scholar's face darkened when he heard that. He was just interested in such a good literary talent, but they, the scholars, could not match those couplets even after studying every day. Doesn't that mean that they had studied in vain?

The book that was about to give her a compliment quickly retreated after hearing what she said, and looked at Chen Fanghua with an unhappy expression.

This woman was so arrogant that she called these scholars idiots.

Everyone is curious about who this woman is?

Although Chen Fanghua is the legitimate granddaughter of the old Duke's Mansion, because the old Duke's Mansion is relatively low-key, Chen Fanghua rarely shows up in public. Even though she has outstanding looks, few people know her.

Of course, most of the people who knew her were from high-ranking officials and noble families. How could these ordinary scholars know her?

So people started talking about her: "Who is this lady? How come we have never heard of such a talented person?"

Full of sarcasm.

"I don't know, maybe he's from out of town."

"From the sound of her accent, she's not from out of town."

"It's really strange. Whose daughter is so talented and beautiful? But I don't know her family. If I knew, I would go to her house and ask for her hand in marriage someday."

"Hehe... With your cowardly appearance, how can you be worthy of such a talented woman?"

The man said disdainfully, "What's the point of being worthy or unworthy? After a woman gets married, she's supposed to stay at home, take care of her husband and children. How can a talented woman make a living? Or should she be able to show her face in public?"

"That's true. You can try it."

…

Chen Fanghua listened to the scholars' discussion, her face darkening to a hue as dark as the bottom of a pot. Yuxiu, who was standing beside her, pulled her sleeve and said, "Miss, let's go."

So many people are talking about her young lady, but she still refuses to leave. Is she trying to show off in front of King Li?

She doesn't even look at her current status. She was given to Prince Yi as a concubine by the emperor, yet she dares to put on a show in front of Prince Li. I really don't know what's in her mind.

What would Prince Yi think of her if he found out?

If the old man finds out, will he let her off easily?

She lost face outside and even her wife couldn't protect her.

"No."

Chen Fanghua shook his sleeves angrily and glared at Su Yue fiercely.

Su Yue was shot for no reason. She curled her lips and cursed him in her heart, saying that such an idiot was not worth her attacking. He was just asking for trouble.

She curled her lips. After watching such a good show for a while, she might as well add fuel to the fire and make sure that Chen Fanghua would have a hard time after returning home today.

She turned to the scholars who were still discussing and said sternly, "Stop talking nonsense here. That's Miss Chen San from the old Duke's Mansion, Prince Yi's concubine. Be careful with your words."

When the group of scholars heard Su Yue's words, they were all surprised and said, "Ah, she is Miss Chen San, then she also..."

And you're showing off in front of someone else's husband. What does this mean?

The scholars were not idiots, so they could see that she was deliberately showing off in front of someone else's husband.

The scholars looked at Chen Fanghua with great contempt at this moment. How could such a immoral woman be worthy of marrying into the royal family?

Bah, what a piece of shit! A scholar spat and walked away shaking his head.

Since she was Prince Yi's concubine, they didn't dare stay here and watch the joke.

Soon, the scholars surrounding Chen Fanghua left and went to the other side.

This caused the shopkeeper to run out twice, fearing that the scholars had all left.

The shopkeeper took out a set of valuable study treasures and said, "Miss Chen San, this is your reward. Take it and go."

It’s not easy to offend the shopkeeper, so he just drives people away.

Chen Fanghua did not take the set of four treasures of the study. It was Yuxiu who took it, thanked the shopkeeper repeatedly, and then urged Chen Fanghua to leave.

Chen Fanghua was about to cry with anger, but she didn't dare to defend herself. The more she tried to explain, the uglier it became. She looked at Su Yue with resentment. It was all her fault. Not only did she reveal her identity and make her lose face, but she also made things worse.

Not only did people stop praising her, they also despised her.

"Miss, let's go."

Yuxiu couldn't bear to watch it anymore and dragged Chen Fanghua away.

Su Yue rolled her eyes at her. It was all her own fault. She was already engaged, and the marriage was arranged by the emperor, yet she dared to act like that in front of her man. She really didn't know what she was doing.

After getting rid of the anger towards this annoying person, the two of them left and strolled along the street.

Su Yue saw many interesting things, and Murong Li bought them all for her.

Let her enjoy the feeling of having someone spend money on her. No wonder women are so eager to marry rich and powerful men.

This street mostly sells clothing and daily necessities. There are two big restaurants selling food, and snacks are on another street.

After walking around for a while, they felt hungry, so they turned to that street and started eating snacks.

The hot snacks are made from pollution-free grains and taste delicious. They warm your stomach after you eat them.

The more you eat, the more you want to eat.

It seemed like Su Yue couldn't stop eating, and Murong Li just kept feeding her.

"Ah! I'm so full! Murong Li, let's find a place to rest."

Su Yue burped loudly. She couldn't eat or walk anymore.

"good."

Murong Li looked at her cute and innocent appearance with doting, and simply picked her up and carried her sideways. They returned to the street before and found a teahouse. They asked for a private room and rested inside the teahouse.

"Will you still go shopping tonight?"

Su Yue pinched her calf and shook her head: "Let's stop shopping and go back."

There are two mother and child adopted at home, so I should go back and take a look.

Murong Li put her legs on himself, massaged them for her, and transferred some internal energy to her from time to time, and her fatigue soon disappeared.

Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She envied Murong Li's internal strength, but it was a pity that she couldn't cultivate it.

It's not that she can't practice it, but she doesn't want to. Practicing is too boring and she can't stand the pain, especially the horse stance, which can hurt her old waist and legs.

The two men rested for a while, came out and found the secret guards on the street, and got on the carriage back to the palace.

It was dark when they returned to the palace. They did not have dinner and went straight back to Lingxiao Courtyard.

Uncle Jiang came over and told them about the situation of the mother and son.

"Well, I understand. Just let someone watch. It's late today, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Murong Li waved away the servants and returned to the bedroom with Su Yue. After washing up, he went straight to bed.
