A large crowd had already gathered where they were to watch the spectacle.
The already narrow streets were suddenly packed with people.
The Lin family's carriage had to stop here.
Before Lin's father and Lin Ze could react, Lin Jiujiu jumped out of the carriage.
It wasn't that she wanted to go and join in the fun, but rather that she vaguely seemed to hear Lin Xiaomei's voice.
Relying on her skills, Lin Jiujiu quickly squeezed through the crowd from the back.
Sure enough, they found a group of people confronting her family.
Lin Yu and Lin Luo tightly protected the women in their family, while Lin Xiaomei was still arguing with the people opposite.
"You people are so unreasonable! This puppy belongs to my family. Why should we give it to you just because your young lady likes it?"
Across from them, a girl dressed as a young girl stood with her hands on her hips, pointing disdainfully at a few copper coins on the ground.
"What do you mean, 'want'? Didn't our young lady already pay for it? He's just a country bumpkin. It's a blessing your family has accumulated over eight lifetimes that our young lady would even take a liking to him."
That condescending attitude made not only Lin Xiaomei shake her head, but even bystanders frequently shake their heads.
"Three coins? Are you trying to give me a beggar's money?"
Looking at the dusty copper coin on the ground, Lin Xiaomei became even angrier.
But what could be done? Not only did the young lady not even show her face, but a few servants alone were enough to keep her immobilized.
Looking at those men, they were all big and burly, with muscles all over their bodies, clearly skilled in martial arts.
Looking at the Lin family side, the two boys were not short, but they looked delicate and didn't seem like they could fight.
Upon hearing Lin Xiaomei's words, the girl not only didn't find anything wrong with them, but instead retorted sarcastically.
"Do you think your dog is some kind of precious breed? It's just a mongrel. If you kill it and eat it, you won't even get a tael of fat. We're offering three coins, and you should be kneeling down and thanking my young lady for her kindness. How dare you be so picky?"
This long-winded speech infuriated the Lin family. They wanted to take their Little White dog and then expect them to kneel and thank them? That's just too much!
Little Douding didn't understand what she meant, but when she heard her say that she would kill and eat the meat, Xiaobai hugged her even tighter.
She stared with her big, watery eyes and said somewhat timidly.
"Xiaobai is Bao'er's friend. She doesn't sell or eat meat."
Little White, nestled in his arms, bared its teeth at the person opposite it, thinking that for tens of thousands of years since it developed self-awareness, no one had dared to treat it as a snack with alcohol.
This foolish human dares to covet its body.
That's truly despicable.
Unfortunately, no matter how angry it was, it couldn't break free from the little bean's embrace.
The little guy was afraid it would run away and be caught, so while holding it, he held its front paws tightly with both hands.
Afraid of hurting the little guy if he used too much force, Xiaobai could only act fiercely in his arms, and did nothing else.
Lin Luo and Lin Yu were constantly on guard against the servants on the other side, and at this time, Lin Xiaomei became the family's mouth-mouth substitute.
"I told you long ago, our Xiaobai isn't for sale. You're trying to act like you're rich when you don't have any money. Have you no shame?"
The little girl argued with her for a long time, but she always treated them with an arrogant and condescending attitude.
But he was truly enraged when Lin Xiaomei said they were poor and shameless.
Before she could say anything, a middle-aged woman dressed as a matron walked out of the restaurant next door and frowned when she saw the scene.
"What are you all standing there for? Take the puppies that Miss wants!"
They're just a bunch of country bumpkins; a little lesson will teach them a lesson, so why bother reasoning with them?
The girl shuddered involuntarily when she saw the old woman. She wanted to step forward and explain something, but the old woman raised her hand to interrupt her.
"Go back to the manor and accept your punishment. You can't even handle such a small matter and you've tarnished Miss's reputation."
If this happens again, you won't need to serve Miss anymore.
The girl didn't care that they were on a busy street when she heard that.
With a "plop," he knelt down at the old woman's feet and began to kowtow.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss. Thank you, Granny."
The force of those 'bang bang bang' sounds sent chills down one's spine, and Lin Jiujiu subconsciously furrowed her brows.
The Lin family panicked when they saw that the Lin family was really going to make a move. Lin Yu and Lin Luo protected the women and originally wanted them to back off.
Little did they expect that there were also quite a few people watching the commotion behind them, completely blocking their retreat.
Lin's mother looked solemn, but Lin Xiaomei was not afraid at all.
Ever since she found out that her second sister knew kung fu, this girl has become a bit arrogant. In her opinion, there is no one that her second sister can't handle.
Even in this situation, she felt that even if they suffered a loss, Lin Jiujiu would help them get it back later.
Just like dealing with the Xiao and Lin families.
What's more, their family also has a prince on their side. Although she doesn't know exactly how high-ranking this prince is, she knows he must be a big shot because the county magistrate didn't dare to utter a single word in front of him.
Even if that prince won't help them, that Baili guy said he's Xiao Tianyi's brother-in-law, so he can't just abandon their family, can he?
That person clearly had great abilities; she had seen that Prince Tantai suffer several setbacks in front of him.
Unlike Lin Xiaomei, who was full of confidence, Lin's mother was full of worry.
It's not a big deal if the two sons get hurt, but if those men get close to their daughter-in-law and daughter, their reputation will be ruined. What will they do then?
Even so, she had no intention of handing Xiaobai over.
Since she moved in with Lin Jiujiu, the little boy has basically been by her side.
She had heard plenty of stories from the little guy about how Little White hunted and raised them.
She had long considered Xiaobai as part of the family.
Although she didn't understand why Lin Jiujiu disliked Xiaobai and occasionally showed a hint of disgust.
She thought it might be related to the fact that Xiaobai's fur was singed.
In her view, her daughter could never be the kind of ungrateful person; the most likely reason was that she was angry at her daughter's lack of ambition.
She also knew that Xiaobai was not as much of a puppy as it looked, after all, it had been with Xiaodouding and the others for a year or two.
By that standard, it should be an adult. Lin's mother thought it might have some kind of illness that prevented it from growing, just like the family in the next village who made lanterns.
The whole family is about the size of a five or six-year-old child.
At that moment, those people had already become entangled with Lin Yu and Lin Luo.
There were five or six people on the other side, and even if Lin Yu and Lin Luo tried their best, they could only stop one each.
These people were different from the fights in the village; they all knew martial arts, and in just one exchange, both men were injured.
Lin Jiujiu glanced at Lin Yu's instantly swollen lips, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and then darted away like a bolt of lightning.
