The impatient man who had been interrupting immediately quieted down and listened attentively to the middle-aged man's words.

"This Miss Lin is the real person who switched the baby with Lin Nanxu. Miss Lin is the true daughter of Minister Lin, while Young Master Lin Nanxu was accidentally switched at birth with Madam Lin. The two children were switched at birth, and Young Master Lin was raised to be very outstanding, while Miss Lin has been toiling in the fields with Young Master Lin's biological parents since birth."

"This appearance... just think about what our relatives in the countryside look like, right? It's even more likely that... this young lady hasn't learned anything, and her appearance has already matured. You can all imagine what she looks like, right?" After saying that, the middle-aged man gave everyone a knowing look.

Everyone understood, and someone said suspiciously, "This Miss Lin is ugly and doesn't know anything, so how did Young Master Wu Yong take a liking to her?"

"Who knows?"

"Haha, I think our young master Wu is used to eating delicacies. When he suddenly tastes simple porridge and side dishes, he finds it novel and thinks he likes it!"

"Then I don't think that Young Master Wu's pursuit of Miss Lin will last long!"

"Yes, yes, yes! How about we make a bet on when this young master Wu will give up on this young lady Lin!"

"That's a great idea! I'll give you twenty copper coins and bet for a month." Someone's eyes lit up, and they clapped their hands in response.

"Then I'll take seven days!"

"I earn thirty copper coins in ten days."

...

"Haha, then I'll collect the debt."

The noodle stall owner, who had just witnessed Wu Yong silencing Qingyin a few days prior, couldn't sit still as dozens of people crowded around and made disparaging remarks about Miss Lin.

"Bullshit! It's not that Miss Lin is a good match for Young Master Wu; it's clearly that Young Master Wu is unworthy of Miss Lin!"

The noodle stall owner's voice interrupted the crowd's heated discussion.

The middle-aged man in charge of collecting payments became unhappy after hearing what the noodle stall owner said.

"Ha, even if Miss Lin hadn't fallen into poverty, the daughter of the Minister's family still couldn't compare to the background of the General Who Protects the Nation. How could Miss Lin be worthy of Young Master Wu?"

Upon hearing this, the noodle stall owner was so angry that he was stunned. If it weren't for the fact that a few days ago, Young Master Wu Yong had approached those of them who had seen Miss Lin's true face on the spot and used warnings and money to coerce and bribe them not to reveal Miss Lin's true appearance, he would have wanted to jump out and scold these narrow-minded and self-righteous people long ago!

The noodle stall owner, who had been instructed not to expose Miss Lin, was so angry that his teeth itched and his whole body trembled. He was still speechless and didn't know how to refute the middle-aged man who had loudly spouted a bunch of nonsense.

The middle-aged man, seeing that the noodle stall owner remained silent, assumed that he had been persuaded. He raised his eyebrows smugly and slurped down a mouthful of the noodle soup in his bowl.

It was the sound of the soup that reminded the noodle stall owner that although he couldn't win an argument with a man, he could still avoid doing business with such people.

After thinking it over, the noodle stall owner began his method of driving them away.

"Get out of here, you bunch of idiots! I'm not doing business with you fools!"

"Ha, you!"

Those who made money through gambling never expected that the noodle stall owner would actually kick them out when he got angry. They frowned, glared angrily at the stall owner, looked helplessly at the half-eaten bowl of noodles, and said angrily:

"If you kick us out halfway through, we're not paying you!"

"Pah, pah, pah, get out of here, I don't want to do business with you guys anymore." The noodle stall owner spat at the people who were being hurriedly chased away before withdrawing his angry gaze and concentrating on his business.

The diners around, who were about to eat, felt a little uneasy when they saw the people being chased away. However, after glancing at the prices of other food stalls nearby and the fact that this restaurant was affordable, cheap, and delicious, they decided to stay and eat.

Compared to other things, for ordinary people, saving every penny is still the most important thing.

Xianglian went out to the street to buy snacks for her mistress. Seeing this, her furrowed brows relaxed, and she smiled as she returned to the manor to tell Qingyin about what had happened on the way.

"Miss, you have no idea what people outside are saying. They insist that you are not good enough for Young Master Wu, and that you are ugly. Ha, these people are really ridiculous! You should really show off to those narrow-minded people and make them dumbfounded and full of regret!"

Qingyin chuckled at the indignant maid, "Alright, let others say what they want. Anyway, everyone knows how beautiful I really am, right?" With that, Qingyin blinked her bright eyes, her clear eyes glistening like a thin veil, rippling with spring-like waves.

Unwittingly, Xiang Lian blushed again at her mistress's beauty and said shyly, "That's right, with such a beautiful mistress, those people who are ugly are just infuriating."

"Fortunately, the noodle stall owner wasn't that kind of person. He angrily chased those scoundrels away. I saw someone who hadn't finished his noodles and wanted to stay was hit by the owner with a rolling pin! Hahaha, that was really satisfying!"

...

"Xianglian, I can hear your wild laughter from far away! What are you laughing at? You're having so much fun! Let me hear it too." Lin Wanyu ran over excitedly, followed by Lin Yanwei, who looked exactly the same but was clearly more masculine.

"Elder sister!"

Looking into those two similar, bright eyes, Qingyin smiled gently, "Mm."
