"You weren't angry when that kid called you a country bumpkin? And you even chatted with him for so long?" Gu Shouxin asked his daughter as soon as they left the restaurant.
"I'm not angry! He just wanted to say I'm ignorant. I come from the countryside, so I'm not as knowledgeable as him from the capital! Besides, he's good-looking!" Gu Xin explained.
"The last sentence is the key point," Gu Hui said speechlessly.
Cai Xiaolian was amused. She hadn't interrupted Gu Xin's conversation earlier because she wanted to see how Gu Xin would react.
Once their family settles down in the capital, Gu Xin will inevitably have to deal with those ladies and young women, and she'll definitely encounter ridicule.
She thought Xin Xin would directly confront the person, but unexpectedly, the person was good-looking, and she even started chatting with her.
Cai Xiaolian had already started imagining a scene at a banquet where those arrogant young girls mocked her Xinxin, and Xinxin looked at her and exclaimed, "Wow, sister, you're so pretty!" This immediately silenced the girls.
Of course, she believed that Xin Xin could sense people's kindness and malice.
“That’s the heir of the Kang Prince’s mansion; everyone in the capital is afraid of him,” Gu Shouxin explained to Gu Xin.
"Hehe, he's faking it. Dad, didn't you see he blush when I said he was handsome and complimented him? He even wants to play with me and be my friend!" Gu Xin said with a smile.
"He is mischievous and domineering, but he has never bullied the weak. However, not all young masters in the capital are like him. You should be more careful in the future," Gu Shouxin said.
"I know, Dad. Anyway, there are no good people in Yuanyuan's family. If I meet someone surnamed Lu in the future, no matter how good-looking he is, I won't be polite," Gu Xin assured him.
Gu Shouxin smirked, thinking, "I thought you'd forgotten about your Yuanyuan brother, but you've remembered him again."
"Hey? Dad, Mom, Sister Huihui, look, isn't that Li Shan?" Gu Xin suddenly saw someone in front of her who looked a lot like Li Shan.
The group looked over and saw that Madam Xie was leading Li Shan and a woman into the jewelry shop, and the woman was also with two girls.
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian frowned. This really shows no restraint whatsoever!
"Father, Mother, is it them?" Gu Xin asked again.
"Never mind that, let's go." Cai Xiaolian led Gu Xin by the hand. It was their first time going out for a stroll and they ran into Li Shan and the Lu family, which was really unpleasant.
Just as the four of them arrived at the jewelry shop, Li Shan happened to come out with a few girls. She was taken aback when she saw Gu Hui and Gu Xin dressed as men, and walked up to them: "Second Uncle Gu, Aunt Lian, Sister Huihui, Sister Xinxin, have you all gone to the capital? Why didn't you go to the Duke's Mansion? After all, we all came from Qingzhou."
"Shanshan, who is this?" a little girl next to Li Shan asked curiously.
“Sister Ni, these are my uncles, aunts, sisters and cousins from my time in Qingzhou.” Li Shan said, then introduced them to the Gu family, “Second Uncle Gu, Aunt Lian, Sister Huihui, Sister Xinxin, this is Sister Lu Ni. Her family is the Lu family of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion. You should know that the Lu family is the one that Master Zhou’s daughter, who is very close to your family, married into.”
Lu Ni's expression changed instantly, and she looked at the Gu family with hostility.
Lu Ni is the daughter of Lu Zheng's stepmother, Lin Shi. Naturally, she looks down on the Zhou family. When she heard Li Shan say that this Gu family member had a good relationship with the Zhou family, she became even more disgusted.
Upon hearing the name of the Lu family, Gu Xin also glared at Lu Ni with hostility. "Hmph, the bad guys from the Lu family, how dare they glare at us!"
Gu Hui glanced at Li Shan thoughtfully. She had heard Xin Xin and Si Si say that Li Shan was bad before, but she had never seen it in person. Now she had seen it for herself. She had instantly drawn hatred from the noble ladies of the Duke's mansion!
