Wei Mingyue felt a surge of pain as she watched the gazes of those in front of her, some of them contemptuous, some disgusted, and some ignored. However, she wasn't stupid; she understood that one must bow their heads under someone else's roof.
Soon, she put on a smile and said to Xie Wanyun warmly, "I'm sorry, cousin. I just came yesterday and didn't understand the situation. Now I know they are all guests of the Marquis' Mansion. I won't scold them anymore! I really admire you, cousin. But I've been out for a while, and I'm afraid my aunt will be worried, so I'm leaving first."
Xie Wanyun raised the corner of his lips and said, "Goodbye."
Wei Mingyue turned and walked away quickly, feeling extremely angry. She returned to Wei's residence and before even entering the house, she shouted, "Auntie, Auntie."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you still look like a rich lady?" Wei came out from the inner room and said angrily.
Wei Mingyue thought to herself, is there a rich lady as poor as me?
She then vividly recounted the events of the incident, exaggerating them. Of course, she made herself sound completely innocent. First, she was inexplicably bumped into by the beggars, and then she was scolded by Xie Wanyun. Even a child of a few years old dared to scold her! And ridicule her!
Upon hearing this, Wei sighed repeatedly. "Mingyue, what can I say? I've already told you that Xie Wanyun is fierce. Even the old lady and I avoid her. Why are you provoking her?"
"I didn't provoke her!" Wei Mingyue was unconvinced and wanted to argue. But then she realized there was no point in talking about it, so she lowered her voice and said, "Aunt, are you just going to put up with her bullying forever?"
Wei was also feeling bad. "What else can we do? The house is hers, and she provides for the food, clothing, and other expenses of the family. Even your cousin Su An can't do anything to her."
"This is truly so unfair." Wei Mingyue was indignant.
When she first arrived at the Marquis's residence, she had also intended to establish a good relationship with Xie Wanyun. After all, she was so good at making money. Life was tight for her and her mother, and if she could get close to her, even a little money from her would be enough for them to live on. But today's turmoil had finally dawned on her. Xie Wanyun had lost her face for a few beggars, clearly not taking her seriously at all. She felt safer going to her aunt.
Of course, she also understood that Xie Wanyun was definitely someone she couldn't afford to offend, otherwise, if she was unhappy, she would really kick her out.
Then, she would just flatter her on the surface. It's a good idea not to hit someone who smiles at you, right?
Besides, Jinbai brought a lot of kites, and the children loved them very much. Later, when Quan Ge'er came back from school, the group of children had a lot of fun playing with them.
Xie Wanyun watched the children play, feeling pleased and realizing they were full of energy, unable to satisfy simply with reading and calligraphy. The older boys, in particular, were keen on martial arts and would always pester Quan Ge'er and Jin Bai to teach them.
But the two children practiced diligently themselves, but they had no idea how to teach others. Xie Wanyun planned to hire another martial arts master.
A few days later, the martial arts master recommended by the troupe arrived. His name was Liu Jinchun, a man in his thirties with a dark complexion, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. He walked with a vigorous gait. It was obvious that he had a solid foundation in martial arts.
When he saw Xie Wanyun, he bowed respectfully.
Xie Wanyun felt that he looked familiar, but couldn't recall where he had seen him before. So he asked him to practice a set of boxing techniques first.
Without a word, Liu Jinchun launched into a long fist. His movements were swift and powerful, stretching and extending, leaping and leaping, using leg techniques and palm strikes at a dizzying speed. They were wide-open and sweeping, full of momentum and grandeur.
The children were dazzled and mesmerized. Their eyes sparkled with excitement, their faces flushed. They were eager to learn martial arts from Master Liu and become great heroes.
Xie Wanyun also praised him secretly, but it was obvious that Liu Jinchun was from a famous school and had great martial arts skills, so why was he willing to condescend to teach a group of children?
