Shen Yu'an pinched his fingers, thinking about how likely he would be to escape if he beat up their young lady in the general's mansion.
Before she could figure it out, Qi Yiran spoke again.
"Well, I believe this is a good choice, or do you want me to find someone to help you kneel down?"
Shen Yu'an took half a step back and chose a distance where he could stretch his legs.
She backed away and said, "Dream on!"
Qi Yiran said angrily: "How dare you, a country bumpkin, talk to me like this!"
"You two, go stop her and take off her clothes. I want to see if you can still stand up straight!"
The two maids following her immediately went behind Shen Yu'an and tried to force her to kneel on the ground.
Qi Yiran then ordered the maid who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy: "I will give you one chance."
The maid quickly raised her head and looked at Qi Yiran hopefully, "Miss, you say."
Qi Yiran looked down at her with contempt and said, "If you take the clothes off that bumpkin with your own hands, I will consider whether to forgive you or not."
She would never wear the clothes that bumpkin had worn.
But she would not give away things that originally belonged to her to anyone else even if she didn't want them, not to mention that this country bumpkin didn't deserve them at all.
A woman who was taken away by a beggar might have been dirty long ago, which really dirty her eyes.
The maid looked at Shen Yu'an, struggling and hesitating inside, and the scene fell silent for a while.
"I... these are your clothes, miss. I will get them back for you right away."
As she said that, the maid climbed up from the ground and moved closer to Shen Yu'an.
"Tsk~"
Shen Yu'an rolled his eyes, ran out of patience, and kicked Qi Yiran in the chest.
“Ahhhh!”
Qi Yiran floated away along with the sound, and then stopped on a big tree.
"You, you, you actually dared to do that, our master will not let you go!"
As they said that, the maids quickly ran towards Qi Yiran's direction and stood under the tree, jumping anxiously, not knowing how to get the person down.
Shen Yu'an watched them all run away, and his ears finally became quiet.
She rubbed her ears, which were a little numb from the shock, and looked at the little maid and asked, "Where is the front hall?"
The little maid covered her mouth and hid back, pointing to the corridor and said, "Just walk along this corridor to the end and then enter a courtyard."
Shen Yu'an walked away directly, leaving behind the shocked little maid and Qi Yiran and others who were jumping anxiously not far away.
After Shen Yu'an left, a figure in sky blue clothes appeared at the corner behind the corridor.
The man whispered to the maid behind him, "Go and call two servants to come and rescue the third young lady."
"yes."
──
In the main hall in front, there were already quite a few people sitting in the hall.
Seeing Shen Yu'an coming over, Baozhu jumped down from the bench.
Xin Rui looked at Shen Yu'an coming over, and stood up and enthusiastically led her to her seat.
There are three rooms in General Xiangnan's Mansion, among which General Xiangnan is in charge of the mansion and is also the eldest wife in the mansion.
General Xiangnan and Wen had two sons and two daughters.
The second wife is Qi Wenqin and Xin Rui, who have few children, only Baozhu.
The third room is Qi Wenyong, who had not appeared last night, his wife Xie, and two concubines, so they also have the most children in the mansion.
And when eating in this main hall, my aunt is not qualified to accompany me.
Xin Rui walked in with Shen Yu'an and introduced her to everyone.
Then he briefly introduced the identities of everyone present to Shen Yuan.
Except for Baozhu, Wenshi, Qi Wenqin and others that Shen Yuan knew.
Shen Yu'an also greeted the second young lady, the fourth young lady and the five young masters in the mansion.
Not everyone has arrived yet, so the food hasn't been served yet.
Baozhu wanted to sit with Shen Yu'an. Xin Rui looked at her apologetically and then arranged her to sit on the other side of Baozhu.
A young man present looked at Shen Yu'an, who was treated politely by Xin Rui, and asked, "If I remember correctly, the clothes you are wearing should belong to the third sister."
Shen Yuan looked him straight in the eye and said, "If I remember correctly, this dress was given to me by the mansion."
Although she had just experienced the incident of the so-called Third Miss asking her for clothes, Shen Yu'an didn't feel at all that she had taken anything from anyone.
The man was very displeased by Shen Yu'an's words, "You!"
Xin Rui spoke up to stop him from saying anything: "Third brother, what do you mean by this! Miss Shen is my guest, can't I give her some clothes?"
"That's not what my nephew meant."
Xin Rui, who was always gentle, looked at him without giving in. Qi Wenyong coughed lightly to remind him, so he had no choice but to say, "Of course you can."
Mrs. Xie took over at the right time and said, "So this is the person who saved our Baozhu. She looks so lovely. Such a person is boring. Why don't you tell me how you saved our Baozhu, Miss Shen?"
Although she said this, Xie was disdainful in her heart.
Who is the one who saved that dead girl Baozhu? She looks so frail. If she is caught by those beggars, there is no way she can get out safely.
Only that woman Xin Rui would actually invite such a dirty person into her house and even give her daughter's clothes to wear.
Shen Yu'an didn't care what she thought, and just said politely: "Third Madam, you are too kind. It was just a coincidence that I was able to save Baozhu."
Baozhu refused to listen to this and started to correct what Shen Yu'an said that was wrong.
"No, Sister An'an just kicked the two people away like that, and then... blah blah... and then..."
Baozhu was sweating profusely as she spoke, and Xie started fiddling with her newly done nails out of boredom.
After a while, the remaining few people came over one after another.
When General Xiangnan arrived, he wanted to ask Shen Yu'an about what happened last night, but he held back and decided to ask him after dinner.
The last person to come in was a woman who looked very similar to Wen.
The woman was wearing a sky blue dress and bowed to everyone after she came in.
The woman looked at Shen Yu'an and said nothing. She just bowed quietly to express her greetings.
Shen Yu'an also nodded in response.
She looked around and found that only the so-called Third Miss was missing.
A smile appeared on Shen Yu'an's lips, but it disappeared in a flash.
However, the woman who had been paying attention to Shen Yu'an's sky blue dress still saw this scene.
The next moment, sounds like ghosts howling came from outside.
"Dad and Mom, you have to make the decision for me!"
What followed was the third young lady who didn't even have time to change her clothes.
Seeing this room full of people, she seemed to have found her backbone.
She came in crying and shouting, not calling her parents anymore. She pointed at Shen Yu'an and yelled for General Xiangnan and Wen Shi to seek justice for her.
