Upon hearing this, both Xu Mo and his sister were taken aback.
Even the Wang family carriage behind her stopped in place, only lifting a corner of the curtain to reveal slender, white fingers.
Xu Mosheng was handsome; at only thirteen, he was already tall and elegant, with a youthful spirit that his younger siblings all knew.
Most girls only dare to glance at her from afar, or feel happy in their hearts, but none of them have ever been as straightforward and impulsive as Niu Xianxian, almost brainless.
Even the composed Xu Mo remained silent for a moment before softly saying, "You jest, young lady."
“I’m not joking.” Niu Xianxian opened her eyes wide. “My family is the most prominent family in Shili Town. Ordinary men are not even worth my attention. Giving you the opportunity to marry into the Niu family is a blessing for you.”
I've never seen such a powerful girl.
It's like a scholar encountering a soldier; even if you're right, you can't reason with him.
Having experienced the loss of both parents, being publicly flogged, filing a complaint in court, and being poisoned behind his back, Master Xu could only turn back sadly and look at his younger siblings with a sense of melancholy.
Zheng Ruqian gaped, admitting he had never seen anyone with such a thick skin in his life.
Fang Heng gripped the long staff tightly, his mind in turmoil, wondering whether he should actually hit a woman.
Wen Zhiyun grabbed her third brother's sleeve, her eyes filled with panic, fearing that her eldest brother would be captured and made a bandit's wife.
Jiang Sheng's eyes widened, and she looked like she was about to jump up, but her shoulders were held down.
Turning my head, I found it was Fifth Brother's long banquet.
The most silent and witty Xiao Wu pulled Jiang Sheng behind him and took two quick steps to walk side by side with Xu Mo.
Niu Xianxian's gaze fell on him with a puzzled look, then suddenly lit up.
If we're talking about demeanor, Xu Mo is the best. He possesses both gentleness and refined elegance, making him an unparalleled gentleman.
But in terms of looks, Chang Yan is the best. The young boy has beautiful eyes and eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, so beautiful that people forget his gender.
Niu Xianxian likes Xu Mo, but after seeing Chang Yan, she thinks that someone like him is not bad either.
Unfortunately, the girl was too young, at most ten years old. She hadn't grown up yet, and her features were still childish, making her unsuitable for marriage.
Niu Xianxian shook her head and turned her gaze back to Xu Mo.
But before she could continue with her threats and inducements...
Chang Yan smiled faintly, his voice clear and noble, but the words he spoke were enough to make people shudder: "In ancient times, there was a woman named Qin who mated with a beast and gave birth to a beast like my sister, who barks wildly in the streets, causing people to get sick and injured. What was the reason for this?"
"Oh, I know, it's because there's no elder in the family and no one to teach them."
Although Niu Xianxian was straightforward, she wasn't stupid. She immediately understood that these words were an insult to her, and she flew into a rage, panting heavily with anger.
Changyan continued, "You're panting like a bull, and your nostrils are just like that too. Sister, do you have no money at home? If not, I'll give you two taels to get a nose ring."
Niu Xianxian's eyes widened, and her hands trembled.
Chang Yan frowned. "Trembling without illness is considered epilepsy. Your family is truly well-fed, with cattle, dogs, pigs, and sheep. It's no wonder that people of the same kind are so close; animals understand each other."
Niu Xianxian took two steps back and almost fell.
Changyan shook her head. "This is a common street, not suitable for animals to patrol. Sister, you should go back soon. Whether it's a sheep pen or a cattle pen, at least it's a place to rest."
Niu Xianxian cried out and fell backward.
After successfully completing his mission, Chang Yan returned to Jiang Sheng's side and patted her on the shoulder.
Jiang Sheng stared wide-eyed as if a seal had been broken, unable to speak for a long time. "Fifth...Fifth Brother, who taught you? Who taught you?"
The eldest brother is gentle and mild-mannered, the third brother is straightforward, and the fourth brother is compassionate and kind; none of them are the type to use foul language.
Could it be my second brother?
Jiang Sheng looked at him suspiciously, and Zheng Ruqian waved his hands aggrievedly, "I don't know how to swear, and I'm from a good family too."
So, is self-taught the only option left?
Jiang Sheng looked over again and saw Chang Yan with her beautiful face raised, her narrow eyes full of innocence and naivety.
It seems like the person who was spouting such foul language just now wasn't him.
Well, anyway, Niu Xianxian was defeated.
The girl who was just proud and confident is now screaming angrily, wishing she could rush up and strangle Changyan.
But how could his brothers allow it?
Xu Mo stood alone at the forefront, his tone indifferent, "Miss Niu, if you have a grievance, go to the yamen to file a lawsuit. This clerk will accompany you to the end. But if you want to harm my brother, you'll have to see if the laws of the Dayu Dynasty allow it, and if the regulations of Xieyang County allow it!"
He looked really good when he spoke so righteously.
Niu Xianxian was stunned for a moment.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xu Mo led his younger siblings away.
Liu Niu Xianxian, supported by her servants, was torn between inner turmoil and anger, wanting to destroy and yearning to possess, locked in a fierce internal struggle.
Suddenly, a luxurious carriage passed by, its side curtains were lifted, and a slender, fair hand holding a large pot of stale tea poured it over her head.
It hit Niu Xianxian right on the forehead.
"Ah..." she trembled with anger and screamed, "Who is it? Who is it?"
Unfortunately, the carriage moved away swiftly, and no one paid any attention to her madness.
The entrance to the county government office in Xieyang County.
Bian Wenxuan was waiting at the door wearing his official hat. When he finally saw Xu Mo, he jumped up and down excitedly, "You've finally arrived! Hurry up, we have all the evidence and witnesses, we're just waiting to convict Old Niu."
In fact, this kind of matter is a minor dispute, which can be settled at most with compensation and an apology. The county magistrate alone can make the decision.
But Bian Wenxuan knew that Zheng Ruqian was Xu Mo's younger brother and Fang Heng's older brother, so he had to give them face.
So we had to wait for more than 15 minutes.
Xu Mocheng accepted his kindness, cupped his hands in greeting, and led Zheng Ruqian into the main hall.
Others listened to the hearing at the door.
Because there were both witnesses and physical evidence, Master Niu did not put up much resistance. He only admitted that the whole thing was done by the Niu family, compensated Zheng Ruqian with ten taels of silver, and ordered his family to restrain their behavior.
