Chapter 294 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Seeing this, Xiaoyun, who had followed, naturally couldn't let her young mistress suffer. She immediately disregarded Shuyu and ran over to help.
Seeing that she was about to be dragged away from the front hall, Ding Yuerong exclaimed in surprise, abruptly interrupting the conversation that was taking place inside the hall.
"Who's outside?" came the voice of the eldest son of the Ding family from the front hall.
Seeing that she had been exposed, Ding Yuehua immediately shook off Ding Yuerong's hand, took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and walked in confidently.
"Big brother, it's me."
Not to be outdone, Ding Yuerong followed closely behind, speaking softly, "Big brother, and... and me too."
As she spoke, her eyes kept glancing at the three young men beside her, her gaze seemingly carrying hooks.
Seeing this, Ding Yuehua's face turned sour, and she muttered through gritted teeth, "He's using this trick again." She used the same method to seduce Jiang Sanshao into getting engaged to her; it was utterly despicable.
However, when Ding Wenxi saw his two younger sisters appear, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and immediately stood up to introduce them to the three young masters, "These are my second and third younger sisters. Please forgive my sisters for their rudeness."
Young Master Zhang waved his hand, "It's alright, it's alright, we were originally..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ding Yuerong, finding her delicate and pitiful appearance too endearing.
The three of them were all lecherous people; otherwise, they wouldn't have blocked Lan Hua's path in the peach blossom grove.
However, just as Young Master Zhang was making polite remarks and sizing up Ding Yuerong, his eyes inadvertently caught sight of Shu Yu standing outside the front hall.
His eyes widened instantly, and his finger trembled as he pointed at her, "Brother Ding, it's her, the stinky woman we were talking about before."
Shu Yu also saw the three of them and couldn't help but think to herself, "What a small world!"
Since the other party had seen her, Shu Yu stopped hiding and walked in with an open and honest expression.
Her fearlessness further enraged the three young masters.
One of them ran straight up to Shu Yu and angrily demanded, "Did you steal our jade token? Hand it over right now!"
Shu Yu looked completely innocent. "What jade pendant? What are you talking about?"
"Still pretending to be stupid? You caused us to fall into the water and suffer losses. Now you've even stolen our jade pendant, preventing us from going to the black market. We..." He suddenly realized what he had said and hurriedly shut his mouth, but his hand was already reaching out towards Shu Yu.
Shu Yu immediately took a step back, and Ding Yuehua subconsciously blocked his way, frowning as she looked at Young Master Zhang and the others in front of her. "Young Master Zhang, is there some misunderstanding? Shu Yu is my friend; she would never steal."
"Friends? Miss Ding, you'd be friends with someone like that?" Young Master Zhang found it unbelievable.
Ding Yuehua was displeased upon hearing this. "Young Master Zhang, please watch your words. It is my freedom to befriend whomever I want. Shu Yu is a good person, please do not slander her."
Young Master Zhang was furious, but while he could point at Shu Yu and curse, he couldn't lay a hand on Miss Ding while on Ding's territory.
Therefore, he immediately turned around and walked to Ding Wenxi's side, saying, "Brother Ding, I'm not lying to you, this woman is ruthless. Yesterday in the peach blossom forest, she actually demanded an exorbitant amount of ten taels of silver from us? A woman like this who is greedy for money is not a good thing to have by your sister's side."
