The Old Mu family, who were so poor they jingled, went crazy. It was a time of famine, and everyone was rushing to flee, yet they went out of their way to pick up a little girl.
Ning Bao carr...
Chapter 522 General Weiyuan
Ning Bao and Leng Wu were just strolling around on the other side, but they weren't too far from Leng Xue.
Ning Bao witnessed the scene where the chubby-faced girl met Leng Xue perfectly.
Ning Bao has never liked to suffer losses and is very protective of his own.
She saw the round-faced girl falsely accusing Leng Xue and immediately walked over.
"Oh!
Are you sure she broke the thing you're holding?
Ning Bao pointed at Leng Xue and looked coldly at the round-faced girl.
The round-faced girl's eyes flickered when faced with Ning Bao's questioning.
"I'm sure it was her who dropped it."
This is the most expensive cosmetic in Yunxia Pavilion, and there's only one box left. Now that she's broken it, I have to take her to see my young lady.
As for how to handle this matter, of course it's up to my young lady.
The round-faced girl reached out to pull Leng Xue.
Although Leng Xue's martial arts skills weren't particularly outstanding, she was still a member of the Leng Guard.
When the round-faced girl reached out to pull her, she immediately turned away.
"Master, I didn't hit her."
Ning Bao gave Leng Xue a reassuring look.
“I saw that it wasn’t you who bumped into her; she was walking without looking where she was going and bumped into you.”
When the round-faced girl heard that Ning Bao was the mistress of that little maid, she hesitated for a moment when she saw that Ning Bao had an unusual aura.
After confirming that Ning Bao was not someone to be trifled with, the round-faced girl puffed out her chest and pointed at Ning Bao arrogantly.
"You are her master, so you shall come with me."
The round-faced girl went to pull Ningbao along as she spoke...
The cold snow and mist immediately shielded Ning Bao behind them.
"presumptuous!
How dare you touch my master?
I already said that I didn't touch you.
I stood in front of the counter the whole time and didn't touch the rouge. If anyone touched it, it was you who touched me.
You don't need to compensate me for the damage you caused, just apologize to me.
My master teaches me every day to be a reasonable person, and I have always been a reasonable person.
I'll forgive you as long as you apologize, and we'll consider this the end of it.
"What did you say?" The round-faced girl looked at Leng Xue in disbelief.
"You want me to apologize to you?"
Are you dreaming?
Still not fully awake?
Do you know which company I belong to?
Do you know who my master is?
Before Ning Bao and her group could answer, the round-faced girl continued on her own.
"My mistress is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, who is about to marry the Third Prince."
You ignorant people have definitely never seen my young lady before. My young lady is incredibly beautiful.................
Liu Xiulan's maid? What a small world!
Ning Bao raised an eyebrow.
"Miss Liu?"
Is she the eldest daughter of the Liu family who slept with the Third Prince at the palace banquet?
Upon hearing Ning Bao's question, the round-faced girl was completely stunned.
Who exactly is this woman?
On the day of the palace banquet, the young lady could only bring one maid with her, so it wasn't her turn to go.
But she had also heard about what happened that day, and no one in the Liu family dared to mention it.
Moreover, the people who attended the palace banquet were all taken care of by her mistress, so no one would spread rumors.
Apart from those who attended the palace banquet that day, no one else could possibly know.
Only the female relatives of officials of the fourth rank or above in the capital had the opportunity to attend palace banquets.
She was certain she had never seen this person before...
Just as the round-faced girl was struggling with her decision, Liu Xiulan came out of the private room on the second floor.
There weren't just Ningbao and a few others on the first floor; there were also several other customers dressed in ordinary clothes.
When they heard Ningbao say that the eldest daughter of the Liu family had slept with the third prince, they immediately started gossiping.
"I was wondering why the eldest daughter of the Liu family was suddenly betrothed to the third prince and then married so hastily."
So it turned out she climbed into his bed.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Few daughters from ordinary families get married at 14. The Liu family, however, are officials; they have no worries about food or clothing, so they certainly wouldn't let their daughter marry so young.
"I never expected that this seemingly refined young lady from the Liu family would actually be a womanizer."
Shh! Everyone, keep your voices down and don't talk nonsense.
My wife's sister-in-law's mother-in-law works as a maid in the Liu family.
She said that some servants in the Liu household were gossiping about this matter, and when Miss Liu overheard them, the servants had their tongues cut out and were sold off.
The Liu family is the maternal family of Consort Liu; they wield immense power and influence, something we common folk can't afford to offend.
"So what if someone has immense power?"
What does it matter how much power they wield?
Since you've done something shameless, don't be afraid of what others say.
"Returning rice to an official's family? If my daughter were this dissolute, I would have broken her legs and sent her to a temple to become a nun long ago."
"presumptuous!
Who gave you permission to talk nonsense here?
I think you all have a death wish.
Liu Xiulan, who had come downstairs, happened to hear the discussion. She gave a cold look to the people who had just been talking.
They immediately stopped talking when they saw Liu Xiulan, and were filled with regret.
They were just ordinary people; the Liu family could take their lives with a flick of their fingers.
Liu Xiulan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she waved her hand to order her servants to call the guards.
The Liu family guards were waiting outside Yunxia Pavilion. Upon hearing the servants' summons, they hurriedly came in.
Liu Xiulan gave the order, and the Liu family guards stepped forward to arrest the people who had just been discussing the matter.
"Miss Liu is so impressive!"
Ning Bao stepped out from behind Leng Xue and Leng Wu.
Seeing the anger filling Liu Xiulan's eyes, she realized that it was all because of Zhou Wanning that her good reputation, which she had maintained for so many years, had been ruined.
The person whose reputation has been ruined is Zhou Wanning.
Although she didn't want Zhou Wanning to have a relationship with the Third Prince.
But she didn't want her reputation to be ruined and to become the subject of gossip.
