"So what? Can it compare to the capital? Compared to our capital, it's just a remote and impoverished place."
No sooner had the little boy finished speaking than a proud, tender, and melodious voice came from behind the crowd.
Upon hearing the voice, everyone immediately made way.
Then, a little girl with colorful stones on her head walked in, wearing a rose-red Shu brocade jacket and a flowing pale yellow skirt.
Although she was only seven or eight years old, she dressed and acted like an adult. When she walked, she held her hands together in a lotus-like gesture, neatly folded them in front of her lower abdomen, and walked slowly, exuding an air of arrogance.
When the maids and young girls in the room saw the newcomer, they all bowed and greeted him, "Greetings, Lady Fende."
The little girls gave a crooked bow, but that was enough to convey the meaning.
Of course, the little girls wouldn't bow to Fende.
The little boy glared at Fende, too angry to even be bothered.
Besides them, there was another person who saw that Fende did not bow.
When Qin Raorao saw Fen De, she immediately ran over and affectionately took her arm.
"Fende, you've finally arrived! You have no idea, a bunch of unruly kids showed up out of nowhere today, they're so ill-mannered and rude, they even pushed me!"
Fende glanced disdainfully at the little girl and her companions, then said to Qin Raorao, "I just heard outside that a few illegitimate daughters from a humble family are not worth getting angry over. If you don't like them, then you can just forbid them from attending any banquets in the capital in the future."
The little boy looked at this suddenly appearing county magistrate, who was even more outrageous than Qin Raorao, and said angrily, "Why can't we go just because you say so? We won't listen to you!"
"That's right! She was the one who bullied us first, you guys can't bully people like this!" Xiao Changyin and Wenlian echoed, huffing and puffing.
Fende looked at the three of them and smiled disdainfully, "Whether you listen to me or not is irrelevant. Your elders wouldn't dare disobey me!"
"Who are you? Why do my masters not dare to disobey you?" Wenlian asked sincerely, thinking of her fierce father and kind yet dignified grandmother.
Fende sneered, as if he didn't bother to answer.
Indeed, she didn't need to answer; a little girl immediately answered Xiao Wenlian's question for her.
"This is the daughter of Princess Linhuang, Lady Fende."
Fende smiled proudly, glancing contemptuously at the expressions of the three little ones. To her surprise, the three of them remained unfazed after learning her identity, and even looked at her with a hint of bewilderment.
When had Fende ever been treated with such contempt? His face immediately darkened.
At this moment, Zhuangyou, who had already stepped aside and was watching quietly, suddenly heard someone call her from behind.
"Miss Zhuangyou, what... what happened?" Aunt Lin finally arrived, covered in sweat, and her face immediately fell with displeasure upon seeing the scene.
As soon as Zhuangyou turned her head, she saw Aunt Lin and Huo Chengche, who was walking with his hands behind his back.
In an instant, Zhuangyou felt the surrounding air pressure drop sharply, the aura fierce and wrathful, making people's scalps tingle.
It's clear that he already knows what just happened here.
Of course, Aunt Lin, who went back to find him, also found out.
"The eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhongwu's family is getting more and more outrageous, even bullying our young master! And this county princess from Princess Linhuang's family, what a big mouth she has!" Aunt Lin said angrily, and was about to go up and settle accounts with them.
