12 Such a familiar name
Song Wanrou was a little amused, "Why are you thanking her? She didn't come here for the headwear or jewelry."
Shen Lan was surprised, "What?"
"All the people in Luzhi are gone. They must have gone to Tianxiang Tower." Song Wanrou picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Xiao Tingyun took off his veil and laughed, "Hehe, nothing can be hidden from you, mother."
His mischievous look made Song Wanrou both amused and angry.
Song Wanrou spat at her, "When the carriage just arrived at Tianxiang Tower, your eyes lit up and you even made an excuse that you wanted some jewelry. When have you ever asked for jewelry or clothes since you came back?"
Chen Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, "I was wondering whose character An Ge'er inherited this greedy habit from, it turns out it was you, Third Sister."
The words made Song laugh, and she echoed, "Indeed."
Xiao Tingyun was unhappy, "Okay, you guys are teaming up to bully me?"
“How dare I.” Shen Lan sneered and begged for mercy. “If I bully you, An Ge’er will stand up for you. He is still waiting for your little aunt’s roasted lamb.”
"Hahahaha..." For a moment, the room was extremely lively.
While he was talking, the waiter had already asked someone to present some headgear.
He also introduced enthusiastically, "Ladies and ladies, these headwear are all new to our store, please come and have a look."
Song looked at them one by one and chose a ruby-studded filigree flower headpiece and a pair of teardrop-shaped jade earrings. "Hey? These two are good. Do you like them, A-Lan?"
Chen Lan was dignified and elegant, and was very satisfied with what Mother Song had chosen, "Mother, your selection is very good, but I'd better pick some for my sister first."
Song Wanrou rolled her eyes at her daughter who was sitting there quietly drinking tea, "Don't worry about her! Let her wear her hairpin!"
"She made an excuse to buy headwear, but now she's too lazy to move after being exposed! Look at her temper, what can we do?!" Song accused Xiao Tingyun to her daughter-in-law, without any mercy.
Xiao Tingyun was not angry after hearing this. He was happy and relaxed. He ate the cakes seriously and blinked innocently.
"Mother, don't worry too much about my sister. Even if she only wears a hairpin, she can still stand out." Shen Lan picked up the earrings and looked at them while teasing Xiao Tingyun with a smile.
Xiao Tingyun put down the cake, wiped his hands carefully with a towel, and said helplessly, "That's enough, you two, you're doing the same thing. I can provoke you just by sitting here."
Then he stood up and walked aside to watch.
The handicraft skills in ancient times were still quite good, and jewelry could be made very delicate and flexible.
She casually picked up a butterfly hairpin inlaid with pearls and said, "Sister-in-law, this one suits you very well."
Handing the item to Shen Lan, Shen Lan looked at it carefully and said, "It's good."
Xiao Tingyun picked a lot of things for Chen Lan, but he looked around and didn't find anything that interested him. Just as he was about to leave, he found a hairpin.
It's a lotus.
It is made of silver, with a white jade pendant on top, carved into a lotus. The lotus is lifelike, and the patterns on the rolled petals are very delicate.
It may seem inconspicuous or out of place among a pile of gold and jade, but it appears particularly elegant.
Xiao Tingyun picked it up and smiled at Song, "Mother, I want this!"
"She didn't choose anything but a hairpin. But it's much better than before, and I knew I wanted it." Song sighed, unable to do anything about her.
Shen Lan sneered.
A few people were choosing jewelry when they suddenly heard an argument on the street downstairs.
"Xu Huaili! My brother's mistake against this lady was indeed unintentional, and he has just apologized. Why did you still hit him and injured his leg!" A woman cursed angrily, very angry.
"He deserves to be beaten!" The man's voice was cold and indifferent.
Xu Huaili? Xiao Tingyun's eyebrows twitched.
This name sounds familiar...
Xiao Tingyun frowned slightly, slowly recalling where he had heard this name.
After all, she had known very few people since she came here, so it was strange that a familiar name suddenly appeared.
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are a general. You hurt my brother, and my parents will not let you go!" The woman downstairs was wearing a red dress, looking noble and proud, but at this moment her face was full of anger!
"Ouch... Ouch..."
"Sister, is the doctor here yet? It hurts so much!"
The man lying on the ground had a painful look on his face, sweat all over his forehead, and his hands were trembling as he covered his legs.
Xu Huaili sneered, "I would like to ask Princess Anping and Marquis Rongyang, Yang Mingsheng flirted with the official's daughter in the street and gathered a crowd to fight and cause trouble, is this the good upbringing of the Marquis Rongyang's mansion?"
Yang Mingsheng is the man lying on the ground. As the only son of Princess Anping and Marquis Rongyang, he has been spoiled since childhood and has developed a lawless character.
“You——!” Yang Mingzhu was so angry that she said something she didn’t want to say. “You are talking nonsense. This is a frame-up! It was the person next to you who deliberately seduced my brother. She is a shameless bitch!”
“I, I didn’t…” The woman was accused and immediately burst into tears. Her body trembled slightly, and she looked so delicate and soft that she seemed like she could be blown away by the wind.
"Second cousin, cousin, please believe me... I really didn't..." He seemed to faint while speaking.
The one who was called cousin immediately stepped forward to support her and asked worriedly, "Cousin, are you okay?!"
Xu Huaili glanced sideways and then quickly shifted his gaze.
"Nothing..." the woman said softly.
Although he said nothing happened, his pale face and the way he bit his lips tightly showed that he didn't look like nothing happened to anyone.
On one side is a pitiful woman who is about to cry, and on the other side is the aggressive young lady from the Marquis's Mansion.
Although people in the world are mediocre, they also like the contrasting stories of upholding justice. Isn't this just that sympathy takes over and they begin to uphold justice.
"How could this girl do something like that?"
"The young master of the Hou Mansion is a well-known playboy. He spends his time either riding horses and walking dogs, or eating, drinking and having fun. It would be fine if he had no achievements, but he even touches girls. He is simply a scum!"
“That’s right!”
"Break his legs..."
"Pooh……"
…
Things like this made the faces of the siblings Yang Mingzhu and Yang Mingsheng change.
Yang Mingsheng covered his injured leg while angrily scolding the people watching the fun nearby, "What's wrong with me eating, drinking and having fun? Did I eat at your house? Why do you have to meddle in my business? What law have I violated? Otherwise, this is what I should enjoy!"
"It was that little bitch who flirted with me. Otherwise, how could I possibly be interested in an orphan like her?!"
"Shut up! My cousin is a lady from a noble family, how can you insult her so wantonly! Do you think our Xu family is easy to bully?!" Xu Jinlan couldn't stand them calling her "little bitch" all the time, so she retorted immediately.
"Thank you, cousin, for believing in me..." The woman shed tears, which made people feel pity for her and instantly attracted sympathy from those around her.
He became more and more bold in accusing the two siblings.
"It must be the Yang family taking advantage of their power to bully others! Look how wronged they are."
"That's right. He wasn't a good person to begin with. It's normal for him to have dirty thoughts..."
"I heard before that he spent a fortune on a girl in a brothel."
"This Miss Yang is not a good person either. I heard that she slapped Miss Li in the face before, and she was almost disfigured."
"Really?" "Of course!"
"Those two siblings are truly vicious!"
These words were particularly unpleasant to Yang Mingzhu's ears. She was so angry that she was shaking. "Shut up, or I'll make you pay!"
Xu Huaili had an indifferent expression, but his words were merciless. "How do you want them to look good? They are all citizens of Da Qi, and they have received the grace of His Majesty. How dare you go beyond His Majesty's will?"
