When Xiao Baili heard the accusations from the two men, a smile appeared on her face.
"Excuse me, what did I say wrong?"
"First, Miss Tu is older than me. Isn't it inappropriate to call me sister?"
"Secondly, Miss Tu and I are not familiar with each other. We have never even spoken to each other before. She calls me Sister Xiao, which I think is inappropriate. Is there a problem?"
"Third, what do you mean Miss Tu lowered herself to greet me, but I was rude. It was you who came uninvited and disturbed our meal for no reason, so you are the rude ones."
"Besides, Miss Tu is a lady, so am I not?"
"My brother is the prefect of North City, and his official position is higher than that of the head of the Tu family. My sister-in-law is a first-rank princess, and my mother is also a county lady canonized by the emperor. However, Miss Tu's mother is not even a royal lady. How is my status lower than hers?"
Xi Rui, who originally wanted to speak, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he heard Xiao Baili's rebuttal.
Bai Li has been with Shi Qingluo for a long time, and she is quite good at arguing with people.
Every answer was on point and well-founded, so he just watched how these people refuted it.
Sure enough, the two ladies choked and didn't know where to start their rebuttal.
One of the ladies curled her lips and said, "You are just a peasant girl. You are just lucky to become a lady from an official family."
Xiao Baili did not deny it, but said as a matter of course: "Even if it's just luck, so what? My brother's official position is higher than your father's."
"If we really compare status, I am not lower than you. I don't know why you are so proud."
The young lady was choked again, "You!"
Tu Yujiao didn't expect Xiao Baili to be so eloquent. She was just like Shi Qingluo, a stubborn and unreasonable country girl.
The other young masters did not expect that the little girl from the Xiao family was so eloquent.
Several people started to speak.
"Miss Xiao, this is your fault."
"Miss Tu also wanted to make friends with you, so she came over to greet you, but you kept blaming her, which was really rude."
"Yeah, aren't you going a little too far?"
This time, without waiting for Xiao Baili to speak, Xi Rui spoke with a cold face.
"I won't give you face. What do you want?"
"You are a bunch of children from small families, and you dare to whine in front of us. Who do you think you are? Do you need us, Baili, to give you face?"
"Just because Baili's sister-in-law is a first-rank princess and her mother is the princess married to King Yi by His Majesty, she doesn't have to give face to anyone in Beicheng."
Xi Rui stood up and looked at them sarcastically, "How much is your face worth? Don't take yourself too seriously."
"If you so-called young masters were in the capital and polished my shoes, I would think your hands were too rough."
Then he looked at Tu Yujiao and the other two women, "You are still a little naive if you want to plot against Bai Li."
"You don't even know me, but you come here and call me sister. Your face is bigger than a basin for vegetables."
"You're still a young lady from an aristocratic family. If you were to go to the capital, you wouldn't be considered a wife, let alone a concubine."
"For example, I am a well-known playboy in the capital. Even if women like you come to my door and serve me as a maid to wash my feet, I will despise you for being clumsy."
Xi Rui had been the king of the capital for so long, and he used to take action whenever he could.
But now that he has been with Shi Qingluo for a long time, his tongue has become particularly vicious.
I'll say some harsh words first, and if you still don't understand, then I can use physical force.
Xi Rui's barrage of venomous words stunned all the young masters and young ladies.
The young masters were so angry that their faces turned blue. Xi Rui, this playboy, was too much. He even scolded them for their rough hands when they were polishing shoes.
The ladies were so angry that their eyes turned red.
Tu Lihuan's expression also changed, "Master Xi, your words are too much."
Xi Rui raised his eyebrows at him, "That's what I said, what can you do to me?"
"Your Tu family is the so-called first family in the North City, but it is only so in a remote place like the North City. If you go to the capital, your Tu family is nothing."
"And you guys, you really think you are such great young masters, you are not even worthy of carrying shoes for us in the capital."
He snorted, "I can crush you to death with just one kick."
This is not bragging. For example, when the children of local noble families go to the capital, they have to bow down to them and serve them.
If you are too high-profile and think you are a big deal, you will definitely be made to not want to go to the capital again.
These words made Tu Lihuan and the others look even uglier.
But they couldn't refute it. After all, when they went to the capital, they were nothing compared to the young masters of aristocratic families with profound backgrounds.
Especially someone like Xi Rui, who was born in a Duke's Mansion and was favored by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and who could do whatever he wanted in the capital.
When they go to the capital, they usually stay far away and will never take the initiative to provoke others.
A young master said unconvincedly: "You said that you went to the capital, but this is the northern border."
This means that this is their territory.
Xi Rui sneered, "So what if it's Northern Xinjiang? If I want to step on you, I will do it just the same."
"I can walk sideways in the capital, and I can do the same in the northern border."
"Don't forget, the prefect of Beicheng is my best friend, the most powerful governor in Beijiang is my third cousin, and the most powerful King Yi is my younger cousin."
He deliberately picked his ears and looked at these people with contempt, "Who are you? Tell me."
"Even Liang Mingyu, who is in charge of the Jin Palace now, has to be polite to me when he sees me. Who do you think you are?"
Tu Lihuan and others: “…” They really couldn’t count so many identities.
To be honest, their fathers' official positions are not even as high as Xiao Hanzheng's.
But can they be compared? After all, they are both great families in North City!
But if Xi Rui were to compare them in this way, they would not be able to compare.
What's more, now that Prince Jin is deposed, Liang Mingyu has surrendered to Prince Yi, who is Xi Rui's cousin. Together with the Third Prince who has military power, this playboy can really run rampant in the Northern Frontier.
How angry! The two young ladies were also very angry. It was the first time for them to be insulted like this.
If Xi Rui's words were to spread to North City, how would they get married?
One of the young ladies couldn't help but glare at him with red eyes, "Xi Rui, you've gone too far. You actually spoke so harshly to a young lady. Where is your manners and self-restraint?"
Xi Rui raised his eyebrows, "Grace and refinement should be given to those who deserve them. Do you deserve them?"
The young lady was so angry that she was shaking, "You!"
Then she covered her face and ran away crying, obviously unable to bear the insult.
Xi Rui continued to speak venomously, "This person is quite self-aware. He knows that ugly people are prone to mischief, so he won't embarrass himself in front of me anymore."
"Pfft!" These words made Xiao Baili, Erlang and the people who were sitting and watching the show couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The smile in Xiao Baili's eyes deepened. Not to mention that Brother Rui's sharp words were very satisfying.
What these people are most proud of is their so-called status, and Brother Rui uses his status to suppress them, and after his sharp words, he leaves these people speechless.
After all, in terms of status, he is the most noble here.
