The guards were left speechless, both amused and exasperated by Zhao Qingyan's threats.
I've heard people say tough things before, but I've never seen a delicate little girl say such things.
It looks like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
"Miss, you'd better tell us the young master's address, otherwise you might not be able to leave this Emerald Pavilion today."
The guard meant well, and even considered his young master's temper—he was a brat who would throw a tantrum if he didn't get what he wanted.
But before he said that, he completely forgot that what his young master wanted was that young lady. It wasn't just a simple address.
Besides, modern young women value their reputation above all else; how could they possibly reveal their home address without a valid reason?
Moreover, knowing that the other party has ulterior motives, only someone who's completely out of their mind would reveal the truth.
He stepped forward and confronted the guards on the other side.
Zhao Qingyan glanced at them, and all her sisters, including Hong Gu, took several steps back.
Xiao Qinglian even sat in the seat that Zhao Qingyan had previously occupied.
He casually picked up a pastry and started eating it.
After taking the first bite, I frowned. Adhering to the principle that wasting food is shameful, I suppressed my dislike and finished the pastry, never touching it again.
Xing Ruan, who had been watching the battle closely, noticed Zhao Qinglian's expression and began to suspect that the snacks he had prepared to entertain his distinguished guest might have gone bad.
Seeing that her sisters had at least withdrawn from the battle, Zhao Qingyan said to Xing Ruan,
"Shopkeeper, my sister and I will sit here for a while while I go and take care of some trouble."
After Xing Ruan gave his approval, Zhao Qingyan stepped forward and patted Hai'an on the back.
"You used to protect the young ladies."
He then stepped forward.
"This is where the boss does business. It wouldn't look good if a fight broke out. Why don't we go outside and talk?"
So the guards made way, and Zhao Qingyan walked ahead.
Tu Haoyu was so engrossed in the joy of seeing his sweetheart that he didn't notice how cold Zhao Qingyan's voice was or how much she disliked him.
After all, he had always wanted the stars but no one dared to give him the moon since he was a child. At this moment, he felt that as long as he was willing to make a promise, this girl would definitely be willing to follow him.
After exiting the main gate of Emerald Pavilion, Zhao Qingyan stopped and turned around.
"Speak, what do you want? I have no interest in your surname, your name, your family background, or anything like that. I certainly won't give you my address."
How are you planning to make sure I can't leave?
Tu Haoyu was very puzzled and began to question the meaning of life.
"Miss, did you hear me right? I am the third son of the Vice Minister of Revenue. My father is a high-ranking official of the third rank."
Do you know how high-ranking that official is?
Zhao Qingyan sneered, "What does this have to do with me?"
For the first time, Tu Haoyu felt that his identity as a father was no longer very useful.
"It has nothing to do with you, but if you befriend me, you'll benefit a lot."
"Do you have any scholars in your family? If the opportunity arises, my father could arrange a minor official position for someone in your family."
Du Haoyu is just making empty promises; after all, he's used to saying things like that.
Before, everyone around him fawned over him and tried their best to flatter him, wishing they could peel a layer of skin off him.
Now that the girl opposite him says it has nothing to do with him, the playboy Haoyu suddenly doesn't know how to respond.
"No, you, are you stupid? I already told you, my father is a high-ranking official of the third rank."
"Look around Lingnan Prefecture, who has a higher rank than my father? Instead of currying favor, you have this attitude. Do you know what you'll lose?"
Tu Haoyu was even roaring.
Zhao Qingyan sneered.
"No matter how high your father's official position is, he's still your father, but it has nothing to do with you. Why are you so agitated?"
Besides, I have absolutely no interest in you or your father.
All I know is that you blocked my way, which made me very unhappy.
You're a lecherous scoundrel. I advise you to get out of my way and not follow me.
Otherwise, if you piss me off, I won't care what high-ranking official's son you are, I'll beat you up without hesitation.
As she spoke, Zhao Qingyan even extended her little fist.
Not to mention the guards, even the bystanders were laughing when they saw that little fist.
"This little girl is quite interesting. She thinks she can threaten people with those tiny fists? That's wishful thinking..."
"The little girl is naive; we should seize the opportunity."
"Haven't you heard this young master is the son of a high-ranking official? Even if he were just a concubine, it would be enough for her to live a life of luxury..."
"This little girl has run into some bad guys. How can they stop her from leaving? Do they even know if her father, that official, is real or not?"
Despite the various comments from the onlookers, Zhao Qingyan maintained a cold expression, and even the guards felt a little embarrassed by the attention.
It seems my young master doesn't know what shame is. How come this kind of thing happens everywhere he goes?
As more and more people gathered around, Zhao Qingyan became a little irritated.
"I can't be bothered with you. Just tell me, you asked for my home address and my name. What do you want?"
Tu Haoyu said,
"Upon meeting Miss at Baima Temple, I felt that she was the spirit of the forest and the fairy of the mountains, the only one who had ever moved my heart in my life."
"I'm asking for your name and address because I wish to propose marriage to you. I hope you will grant my request."
He then bowed deeply.
Zhao Qingyan almost laughed out of anger.
"You propose marriage so readily, did you even ask for my opinion? Do you know how old I am? How can you propose marriage like this?"
How can you be so shameless?
Are you sick in the head? You're interested in a child? I'm only 13.
Do you know I'm 13? I'm still a child. And you dare to propose marriage to me?
What a load of rubbish! Since ancient times, marriage has been about matching social status and arranged by parents and matchmakers.
You're proposing marriage in the street? Is this what you call proposing marriage? You're clearly insulting my reputation.
Besides, whose decision are you in charge of? Are you going to marry me as your principal wife or as a concubine?
I reckon you can't even decide who your personal maid is, right?
Don't try to disgust me here. If you keep nagging me, I might actually beat you up.
Don't go around telling everyone who your father is. That only proves your father is capable, not that you are. You're just a son at best.
A brat who lives off the protection of his elders is nothing.
Zhao Qingyan unleashed a torrent of abuse, leaving Tu Haoyu utterly bewildered and questioning his existence for the first time.
After saying that, Zhao Qingyan shouted into the building, and the Zhao sisters, along with Hai'an and Hong Gu, came down from the second floor.
"Third Sister, can we go back now?" Zhao Qingyi asked, her tone very calm.
Zhao Qingyan nodded, and Hai'an went to fetch a carriage.
The appearance of the Zhao sisters caused a stir.
The main reason is that the Zhao family girls are all beautiful in their own way, especially their temperament, which is incomparable to that of ordinary people.
The coastline arrived in a carriage. Zhao Qingyan let her sisters and Hong Gu get on the carriage first before she prepared to get on herself.
