Not daring to look Chu Yu in the eye, she hurriedly took small steps forward...

Huff, huff.

Why is it suddenly so hot?

Hua held the sugar painting in one hand and kept fanning it with the other.

Chu Yu saw Hua's little gesture from behind and couldn't help but chuckle.

This smile stirred the hearts of the young girls around her.

Such an unparalleled gentleman is truly beyond description; he is certainly not a person of this mortal realm!

Unbeknownst to Chu Yu, the girls around him, eager to make their move, were smiling even more blatantly.

"Young master, please wait!"

A melodious female voice sounded from behind.

Liang Ting put on what she considered her most charming and delicate appearance, and no man could resist falling at her feet.

Without exception!

Her charming smile gradually cracked as Chu Yu ignored her and took one step forward...

"Hehe, who do we have here? It's the head of Yuchun Pavilion! The top courtesan!"

"Liang Ting?!"

A strange, sarcastic voice came from the side.

The owner of the voice was also a woman of about 28 years old, with a beautiful face.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Liang Ting adjusted her collar, which had been slightly pulled down, and spoke rather rudely.

"Who do we have here?"

"Isn't this Miss Ling, who was just jilted last month?"

"What? Are you planning to grab another man to take back as your husband?"

"Liang Ting! Shut up!"

"So he's Ling Feng, the one who was jilted on the eve of her marriage!"

"That's right, I heard it's because her fiancé fell in love with Liang Ting that she broke off the engagement!"

"So, in that case, what's the relationship between these two...?"

There was a commotion around, with many people pointing and whispering.

Just moments ago, Ling Feng was so arrogant, but now she was surrounded and felt completely lost and ashamed!

If there's one thing that makes Ling Feng feel most ashamed in her short eighteen years of life, it's this one!

As the only daughter of General Ling Da, Ling Feng was pampered from a young age and loved playing with swords and staffs. General Ling Da granted his only daughter's every wish, and whenever Ling Feng liked these things, he would bring her to the military camp and let her play.

However, over time, Ling Feng settled down in the military camp. In order to make Ling Feng act like a daughter, General Ling Da found her a son-in-law who would live with her family.

The other party was a poor scholar who had just failed the imperial examination this year. As the saying goes, a scholar is useless, but unfortunately, this scholar was good-looking and caught the eye of Ling Feng, who had just returned to Huijin City from the military camp.

Upon learning of this, General Lingda immediately took charge and arranged for a son-in-law to be chosen!

In just three months, General Lingda arranged for the scholar to enter the government office. Considering that his hometown was far away and he was not well-off, he let him stay in the general's mansion.

Living in the general's mansion, being served by a multitude of servants, and wearing official robes, the petty man, having gained power overnight, naturally became arrogant and conceited.

The first time he met Liang Ting at Yuchun Tower, he was completely captivated. From then on, he disregarded his engagement and became increasingly unrestrained in his behavior after seeing Ling Feng go to the military camp early in the morning and return late at night!

After being caught red-handed by Ling Feng and finding no way to reconcile, she actually dared to go to the General's Mansion to break off the engagement.

This move immediately made Ling Feng famous.

Liang Ting watched Ling Feng's disheveled state from the side, feeling extremely relieved.

What kind of daughter is she, a great general? She can't even keep a man!

"How can you have the nerve to bully a weak woman like this?"

"Who are you? Mind your own business!"

"And we didn't make this up; it's all true!"

Ling Feng sneered repeatedly. Facts? What are facts? People only call what they want to hear and what they want to say facts!

"If this counts as a fact..."

The man pointed at the middle-aged man who had just been speaking the most aggressively and said,

"If you ask me, you just stole my wallet, which contained a full thousand taels of silver!"

The man who had been speaking the loudest just moments before suddenly turned red in the face. Everyone looked at him, and seeing the people around him pointing and whispering, he even started to stutter.

"You...you're making false accusations!"

"I've never even seen your wallet!"

"So, you do know what this is called—false accusation?!"
