Su Wanti's eyes were cold. She didn't want to waste any more time talking to this family. Without saying a word, she picked up her sword, turned around and left, leaving everyone with a thin back.
"Eh?" Miss Fu San was about to speak, but the words got stuck in her throat, making her feel suffocated.
Looking at Su Wanti's leaving figure, she pursed her lips and said in a low voice:
"Brother, I told you not to mess with her, but you refused to listen. Even though her father is a fifth-rank doctor, he's still far behind ours. She finally managed to hook up with you, so how could she let you go?"
"How can a woman who tries to curry favor with the rich and powerful understand propriety and morality? She's been making such a fuss today, even taking out her sword. Who knows what she'll do tomorrow! I think we should go back home and have a good discussion on how to stop her from having such thoughts."
Miss Fu Si on the right covered her lips and chuckled.
"Third sister, isn't it easy to stop her from thinking about this? Just let her parents know about this. The Su family is very proud, and her parents will definitely send her away for the sake of their own reputation. There is no need for us to do anything."
Miss Fu San nodded, then frowned and said, "My brother wants to marry Princess Shang. Don't let the princess know about this!"
Miss Fu Si's eyes turned,
"Truth will come to light sooner or later. How can we conceal the incident that happened right in front of our residence?"
"But, Third Sister, don't worry. We'll have the servants spread the word that it was the Fifth Miss Su who was obsessed with her brother and caused this farce. Since her brother is so impeccable, the Su family will definitely have no evidence. Su Wanti will be speechless then, and anything she says will only damage her reputation."
When the crowd saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they dispersed, carrying this new story with them and going to different places.
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
Soon, the fifth daughter of Doctor Su of the Ministry of Rites fell in love with the son of the prime minister. She made a big fuss in the prime minister's mansion, opposed the princess's marriage to Master Fu, ruined Master Fu's reputation, and threatened to commit suicide in an attempt to enter the prime minister's mansion. The news spread throughout the capital.
The audience only felt that Mr. Fu was innocent, while the fifth daughter of the Su family was a crazy nymphomaniac.
Su Wanti walked on the street dragging her sword, the tip of the sword scratching the ground, making a clanging and sharp sound.
The children who were nearby couldn't help but cover their ears.
Passersby looked at her sideways, but she had a beautiful little face, fragile and without any aggression. Even if she was dragging a sword, she did not scare people, and people could not help but look at her twice.
In her previous life, she knew how the outside world judged her.
In her previous life, she was powerless to refute and could only stay in her room and dare not go out.
In this life, she was still unable to refute, but her mentality was very different from her previous life.
She became indifferent to the sounds.
At this moment, Su Wanti's mind was in turmoil, with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.
She was reborn and could take revenge, but after the great excitement came the emptiness and confusion.
She didn't know what to do now.
Go back to Su Mansion? If I go back to Su Mansion now, I will run into my sisters and be scolded by them.
You will also encounter your brothers at home and endure their ridicule and mockery...
But if she doesn't go home, where else can she go?
While thinking, Su Wanti felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her for a long time. This gaze was too direct for her to ignore.
She followed the gaze and saw that it came from a small tea stall nearby.
Sitting on a simple wooden chair in the small tea stall was a tall and burly middle-aged man, staring at her with burning eyes.
The man had broad shoulders and a thick back, and his bronze skin made him look even more rugged and sturdy, with an imposing and majestic demeanor.
He pursed his lips, had a leopard-like head, round eyes, and thick eyebrows like swords. He looked serious and terrifying. He exuded an invisible pressure from his whole body. Even if people didn't know his identity, they would still be afraid and dare not underestimate him.
If Su Wanti had met such a person in her previous life, she would have been so scared that she would have lost all her courage and would have run away with her head down.
But now, she was confused and had just recovered from her sadness and indignation. She had forgotten the timidity and shyness of her little girl.
When the man saw that she saw him, he didn't show any intention of avoiding her. His straightforward and scorching gaze didn't waver at all. His sharp eyes wandered across her face, which was very offensive and bold.
Su Wanti pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
At this moment, she only felt that men were heartless and ungrateful, and the man in front of her was...
"lecher!"
She opened her eyes slightly and glared coldly at the bold man, her voice cold and her words clear.
The man didn't react much, but the corners of his lips slightly raised for a moment.
A white-faced man with half-white hair sitting next to him was startled, looked up in surprise, and looked at Su Wanti in shock.
Su Wanti saw that near the middle-aged man, there were several young and strong men sitting. They had firm faces and strong bodies, and they were always paying attention to the middle-aged man's actions.
She then realized that this person was not an ordinary person, but probably a noble lord who was out for a trip.
Can't afford to offend.
Thinking about it, the Su Mansion is safer, Su Wanti decided to go back to the Su Mansion first.
After realizing the man's special identity, she withdrew her gaze indifferently, turned around and left without saying a word.
The middle-aged man saw the woman disappear in the crowd, and then he withdrew his gaze.
Holding the teacup, he thought of her angry look when she glared at him just now, and he found it amusing. His eyes drooped slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Eunuch Zhong looked at his master's expression, his eyes rolling around, and then he whispered tentatively:
"Master, should we send someone to chase him?"
He pointed his finger in the direction the woman was going.
Rong Zhou's face darkened and he shook his head.
Such a beautiful person is hard to come by in this life, so he took a few more glances at her just now.
However, he saw that the girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old, while he was already thirty-six years old, probably older than her father.
If he imprisoned such a young woman in the palace just because of his momentary interest, keeping her company, trapping her for life, and letting her waste her time within the four-sided palace walls...
Then he would be too selfish.
He could do that, but he didn't want to.
"No need. I left the palace to observe the people's sentiments, not to select a concubine. What kind of woman would I be looking for? I just heard someone on the street say that something big happened at the Prime Minister's residence. Come with me to take a look."
Rong Zhou decided to temporarily forget about the woman who amazed him and decided to get down to business.
Eunuch Zhong hurriedly stood up and helped Rong Zhou get up.
He bowed and nodded:
"Yes, Prime Minister Fu is a trusted official of the imperial court. He has always been cautious in his words and deeds, always involved in everything, and has a strict management of his family. What big incident could possibly happen in the Prime Minister's residence? I am also curious!"
"Master, do you think we should notify the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance?"
Rong Zhou waved his hand, "No need, just take a look, don't make a fuss."
Rong Zhou was in front, Eunuch Zhong was beside him, and several young men were standing on both sides, breathing evenly. The group stood up and headed towards the Prime Minister's residence.
