However, Zhong Wanqing was still furious, and she glared at Pei Yao intently.
I felt that falling down in front of these poor people was a very shameful thing.
Pei Yao spread her hands, looking innocent: "You were the one who insisted on pulling me over, and then you lost your balance and fell. It's not my fault, everyone saw it."
The onlookers, suddenly called out by Pei Yao, nodded subconsciously: "Mmm-hmm..."
Then, under Zhong Wanqing's angry glare, he shook his head again...
Zhong Wanqing was furious, pointing at Pei Yao for a long time without being able to utter a single word: "You, you, you.......
The maid next to her was also stunned when she saw her young mistress fall, and stood there for a moment without reacting.
Su Wanqing glared at her angrily again: "You idiot, don't you know how to come and help me up!"
The maid Chunlai was startled and quickly came over to help her mistress up.
When Chunlai helped Zhong Wanqing up, he didn't forget to pinch the little girl's fair arm hard: "You brat, you have no sense at all."
Spring came, and though she was in pain, she kept her head down and dared not say anything.
After Zhong Wanqing stood up, she glared at Pei Yao and then shouted at Chunlai, "Go, call all the strong servants in the manor over. I want this filthy beggar to suffer a fate worse than death!"
Before Chunlai could even process the pain of being pinched, Zhong Wanqing angrily shoved her, yelling, "You brat, hurry up and go!"
Chunlai then hurriedly returned to the mansion to look for the person.
Pei Yao glanced at the little maid who was being hit and pinched by Zhong Wanqing, felt sorry for her for three seconds, noting that she looked even younger than herself, and then looked at Zhong Wanqing with a puzzled expression: "Miss, I didn't do anything to you, did I?"
"snort!"
When Zhong Wanqing saw that Pei Yao had finally spoken to her, a strange sense of accomplishment flashed through her heart. She found it strange, but didn't think about it in detail.
She continued to glare fiercely at Pei Yao, and said in a menacing tone, "You filthy beggar, I just don't like the look of you today."
Pei Yao: "......."
I don't think you've ever found me pleasing to the eye...
Pei Dalang, who had been intently inspecting the goods in the carriage, rushed over upon hearing the commotion. As soon as he arrived, he saw his little niece being glared at by a girl who, although dressed in fine clothes, was rather ugly.
He walked up to Pei Yao and asked her in a low voice, puzzled, "Yao'er, are you alright? Who is this ugly girl?"
Pei Yao glanced at her uncle beside her and almost burst out laughing when she heard him call the other girl an ugly girl.
Thankfully, she held it in, otherwise Zhong Wanqing would probably have gone crazy again.
"The young lady from the Zhong family, I suppose. I'm not really sure..."
"You filthy beggars, what are you whispering about over there?"
Pei Dalang spoke softly, so Zhong Wanqing didn't hear what they were saying.
When Pei Dalang heard the other person speak and call him a stinking beggar, he became even more puzzled and looked down at his side.
Pei Yao helplessly pulled at her uncle, a bitter smile on her lips: "Stop looking, the stinky beggar she's talking about is me."
Pei Dalang: "......."
"How can you be so rude, girl? How are we stinking beggars?" Pei Dalang was about to argue with Zhong Wanqing when he heard his niece being called a stinking beggar.
Zhong Wanqing crossed her arms and looked at Pei Dalang with a sneer: "Ha, you stinking beggar! I told you, you stinking beggar! You stinking beggar!"
Pei Dalang: "..."
Pei Yao: "......"
The onlookers: "..."
Pei Yao rolled her eyes inwardly, suppressing the urge to slap Zhong Wanqing.
As the saying goes, one shouldn't argue with a fool. Pei Yao looked at her and said, "Miss Zhong, I'm here today to deliver the lychee wine. I have no intention of bothering you. I'll leave after I deliver it, so please don't make things difficult for me."
After Pei Yao finished speaking, she pulled Pei Dalang away from Zhong Wanqing, her eyes filled with undisguised disdain.
Zhong Wanqing was enraged by the disdain in Pei Yao's eyes. Ignoring all the etiquette and manners taught by the old woman, she was about to rush up and hit Pei Yao.
Seeing her charging at him like a mad dog, Pei Dalang feared she might actually hurt Pei Yao and immediately stepped in front of her.
"Zhong Wanqing! Stop!"
Just as Zhong Wanqing was about to rush to Pei Dalang's side, a roar suddenly came from behind her.
Zhong Wanqing, who had been so reckless just moments before, suddenly stopped, and her eyes became much clearer.
Pei Yao looked in the direction of the speaker and saw several people standing at the main gate of the Zhong residence. They were Zhong Lingyu, whom Pei Yao had met before, and Chunlai, who had just gone in to look for someone.
Zhong Lingyu was looking in Pei Yao's direction at this moment, but her expression was cold and aloof, exuding a dignified and elegant air.
Chunlai was so frightened that she ran tremblingly to her young mistress's side.
"Miss, I ran into the eldest young lady when I was looking for someone..."
Zhong Wanqing glared at Chunlai angrily: "Useless! You can't even handle this little thing."
Although Zhong Wanqing was furious, upon seeing Zhong Lingyu arrive, she calmed down considerably, no longer behaving like a mad dog...
The crowd watching from a short distance immediately began to whisper among themselves upon seeing Zhong Lingyu.
"That must be Miss Zhong. Her aura is so different from that shrew from just now."
"Yes, I heard before that Miss Zhong likes to wear red. Look, that woman is wearing red."
"Who was that woman who looked like a shrew and was rather ugly just now?"
"I guess it's the illegitimate daughter of the Zhong family patriarch. I've heard that the Zhong family is notorious for favoring concubines over wives."
"Judging from how arrogant this woman is, she must be an illegitimate daughter. After all, what young lady raised by the principal wife would act so wildly in the street..."
Although these people were speaking from a distance, every word they uttered reached Zhong Wanqing's ears.
Hearing about that group of poor, gossipy people, Zhong Wanqing flew into a rage again, screaming at them, "Get out! Get away from me!!!!"
Those people looked at Zhong Wanqing, who was acting like a mad dog, and silently backed away, their disgust evident in their eyes.
Zhong Lingyu coldly stared at the crazed Zhong Wanqing, and finally said with disgust, "How long are you going to keep embarrassing yourself? Aren't you afraid that Father will blame you when he comes back?"
Although Zhong Wanqing was still angry, she deflated like a punctured balloon as soon as Zhong Lingyu mentioned her father, and dared not go crazy anymore.
She was naturally afraid of her father finding out. If he knew that she had acted out and caused trouble outside again today, he would probably lock her up in anger.
Zhong Lingyu slowly walked over: "Aren't you going to go back? Do you want to continue making a fool of yourself here?"
