Fu Man'er rattled off a string of words, startling Chu Yiyi so much that her face turned pale and then red.

This young lady has been proud since childhood, and everyone fawns over her. She probably has never been spoken to like this before.

I have never seen a girl as sharp-tongued and uncouth as Fu Man'er.

That's right, Chu Yiyi thought Fu Man'er was not presentable; that's just how people from humble backgrounds are.

Even though it now has a small shop, it still can't shake off its vulgar appearance.

Moreover, Fu Man'er isn't even Xu's biological daughter, so what right does she have to point fingers at her?

Thinking this through, Chu Yiyi simply turned to look at Xu Yi.

"Xu Yi, is this how your Xu family treats its guests?"

Chu Yiyi thought that Xu Yi was, after all, the eldest son of the Xu family and a commander of a thousand men.

Moreover, her parents had both said that Xu Yi was a good person, so she was counting on Xu Yi to stand up for her.

To her surprise, Xu Yi completely ignored her aggrieved face and mocked her.

"Miss Chu still knows she's a guest."

"When they came to my house, they let our dog out and even had people beat it, making a huge mess of the whole place."

"And they're bossing around our servants again. I wonder if this is how Miss Chu is taught in the Chu family?"

"When I meet your father in the future, I will definitely ask him about it."

Xu Yi's words were no better than Fu Man'er's, making Chu Yiyi blush and scold him.

She knew that her behavior today was a bit rude, but there were reasons for it.

"Xu Yi, why are you avoiding me? And why did you give the jade plate I gave you to that beast to eat?"

If it weren't for these things, Chu Yiyi would never have been so rude.

"Avoiding you?"

"I thought I had made it very clear to Miss Chu that I don't like you and there's no need for us to meet again."

"As for that blue and white jade plate, I refused to accept it, but Miss Chu insisted on giving it to me."

“I am not a greedy person, and I have already converted the white jade plate into cash and sent it back to the Chu residence.”

"Miss Chu can verify this with your household's butler. Since I paid for it, it's my business what I use it for."

Xu Yi's words were all reasonable, leaving Chu Yiyi with no rebuttal.

Fu Man'er then realized that this was how the white jade plate came to be. She saw Xu Yi casually toss it aside and took it.

I thought I'd give Roubao a new bowl, and sure enough, after changing the bowl, Roubao ate much more.

This guy, don't let his dog appearance fool you, he's quite discerning.

Wait, that's not what she should be concerned about right now.

I just heard Xu Yi say that he doesn't like Chu Yiyi. What's going on?

In the blink of an eye, Fu Man'er was stunned, and Chu Yiyi had already risen up with a flick of her sleeve.

"Xu Yi, you wait, I'll make you regret this."

"Oh, what's going on..." Fu Man'er was about to ask what was wrong.

Chu Yiyi glared at her, "And you, how dare you humiliate me like this? Your Xu family will regret it."

After saying that, Chu Yiyi led the maids out quickly.

"Brother?" Fu Man'er blinked blankly, wondering what she had missed again.

"She has a problem here, don't worry about it," Xu Yi said, pointing to his head.

Fu Man'er chuckled. It's not very nice to talk about others behind their backs like that.

However, to be fair, this Miss Chu really has something wrong with her. Why did she come to my house and act crazy?

"Brother." Fu Man'er plopped down on the chair next to Xu Yi, her eyes darting around.

"Hmm?" Xu Yi looked at her, thinking to himself that the girl was definitely up to no good.

"If Chu Yiyi comes to our house to cause trouble again next time, can I have Roubao scare her?"

Roubao is a bully within his own household, as long as he stays inside the Xu family's gate.

It can run wild like a runaway horse, provided that the target of its wildness is afraid of it.

For those who look fierce, Roubao will wag its tail at them from a distance.

"She won't come again." This isn't the first time he's rejected this young lady; she's not going to have the nerve to come back again.

Fu Man'er looked a little disappointed, even though she sometimes ran into Chu Yiyi at Fu Ji.

But at that time, Roubao was like a lump of mud, with no ambition for revenge whatsoever.

Fu Man'er admitted that she was being a bit petty. Today, Chu Yiyi called Roubao a beast and said she would beat Roubao to death.

She felt uncomfortable hearing this, so she thought about finding an opportunity to let Roubao vent his anger.

It seems this matter needs further consideration.

"Brother, there's one more question."

"Miss Chu is so beautiful, don't you like her?"

Fu Man'er was a young woman, and she thought Chu Yiyi was very beautiful when she first met her.

In addition, her clothing and accessories made her look noble and elegant.

In short, many young men in Yun Town are fond of Chu Yiyi, and it is said that some have even gone to the Chu family to propose marriage for several years in a row, but unfortunately Chu Yiyi remains unmoved.

"I don't like it," Xu Yi replied without hesitation.

"She's nowhere near as pretty as our Man'er. Man'er is the most beautiful."

The little girl's face was exquisitely beautiful; even without makeup, she was a thousand times prettier than Chu Yiyi.

"Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed by your praise, brother."

She uttered shy words, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

She was happy, both when she heard her brother dislike Chu Yiyi and when he praised her.

"So, what kind of woman does your brother like?"

Since Xu Yi returned, Fu Man'er has occasionally heard adults mention his marriage.

Many people of Xu Yi's age are already married and have children, while his brother hasn't even gotten engaged yet.

“I…” Xu Yi had never seriously considered this question. “I don’t know.”

There are countless girls in this world, some virtuous and kind, some gentle and considerate, and some talented and beautiful.

But he always felt that all those thousands of girls combined couldn't compare to Man'er alone.

"Then you'll have to think about it carefully, brother," Fu Man'er advised like an adult.

"Yes, I will." Surprisingly, Xu Yi seemed to have taken my advice to heart.

"Tell me when you've thought it through," Fu Man'er added. She was very curious about what kind of woman such a good brother would like.

If her brother finds someone he likes, will he treat her as well as he does now?

2ni had complained about this before; her brother, Wang 2gou, got married at the beginning of the year.

After having a sister-in-law, he treated her very well, and in many things, 2ni had to take a backseat.

Wang Erni told her more than once that her brother was no longer her brother.

For some reason, thinking about this made Fu Man'er feel a tightness in her chest.

She suddenly became conflicted and torn, wanting to know what kind of woman Xu Yi liked.

On the other hand, they do not want such a woman to appear in Xu Yi's life.

Ugh, Fu Mandi shook his head in frustration, "I don't want to think about it anymore."

"Man'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Yi saw her shaking her head and thought she had a headache.

The two were originally separated by a table, but Xu Yi suddenly leaned his head in.

The distance between the two became very small. Fu Man'er caught her breath and quickly stood up and moved a little further away.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Fu Man'er waved her hand.

"Brother, I'm going to check on the meat buns." With that, she lifted her skirt and ran out.

She suddenly became afraid to be alone with Xu Yi. It's so strange, why is that?

Fu Man'er ran out, leaving Xu Yi alone sitting in the flower hall.

The faint fragrance of the little girl still lingers nearby, but she is no longer here.

Xu Yi reached out towards the fragrance as if possessed, but ultimately felt nothing.
