The woman who had just been arguing with her shouted, "You ugly hag, you're calling others ugly!"
The onlookers burst into laughter, and Miss Liu's face turned bright red. She regretted not bringing two more people with her today.
Ignoring her rudeness, Yi Mu asked in a soft voice, "May I ask, young lady, what law has my husband broken?"
The second young lady got angry just looking at her face and didn't want to talk to her anymore.
"Get out of my way!"
Yi Mu smiled and said, "But this is my family's shop."
Miss Liu finally found a point that was in her favor. She told Yi Mu triumphantly, "This is my family's shop. Your husband is just paying to rent it. I can kick you out anytime!"
Yi Mu still had that same smiling face, as if he would never get angry.
"Miss already said that it was my husband who rented the shop. Has the lease expired yet?"
Miss Liu replied casually, "How would I know?"
“Since you don’t know, you have no right to deal with the shop. Also, the lease agreement was signed with Master Liu. It seems that the Second Miss does not have the authority to arbitrarily decide the tenant’s stay or leave.”
Miss Liu was rendered speechless by her words. Facing the pointing and whispering of the crowd, she cursed inwardly at her maid for being useless, saying that it had been so long and she still hadn't brought the servants.
Xia Yunxue didn't come out often before; she often played with the small animals in the valley.
After becoming the daughter of a marquis, she saw many new things every day and always wanted to go out.
The Marquis was very strict in managing his household, believing that women should stay at home to support their husbands and raise their children.
Unmarried girls should also study needlework diligently so that they can better bring honor to their husband's family after marriage.
Xia Yunxue grew up in the valley. Although she was not a fierce person in her previous life, she was still unrestrained.
Unable to bear staying in one place all day, she begged the Sixth Prince to take her out to play.
The Sixth Prince liked her lively personality, and even more so, he loved her adorable, sometimes surprising, remarks.
Every time Xia Yunxue asked a maid to deliver a message to him, he would secretly use his light-footed skills to leap over walls and rooftops, landing in Xia Yunxue's courtyard, taking her away from the Marquis's mansion to play in the streets.
That day.
The Sixth Prince carried several bags of pastries, as well as a number of pieces of jewelry and clothes. He walked to the back and looked at Xia Yunxue with doting eyes.
Xia Yunxue stopped curiously in front of a monkey show stall.
There are also monkeys in the valley, each with shiny fur and sharp eyes. They often sneak into the cabin in the woods at night to steal food.
Although it was hated by many, occasionally a few sweet fruits would appear in front of the hut, a sign of the monkeys' gratitude.
Xia Yunxue looked at the monkeys with ropes around their necks, being whipped and urged to perform, and a look of pity flashed across her face.
But soon she shook her head.
Don't be soft-hearted; you've already decided to be a ruthless person.
The Sixth Prince walked up behind her, thinking that Xia Yunxue would ask him to buy the monkey.
But she didn't say anything, and turned away.
The Sixth Prince caught up with her, his attitude unusually gentle: "What's wrong with you?"
Xia Yunxue shook her head, then suddenly saw a large group of people ahead and quickly ran forward.
Her attention was immediately drawn to them. "What are they doing?"
The Liu family servants rushed to the blacksmith shop and forcefully pushed through the crowd.
The Sixth Prince saw an old woman almost fall; if she hadn't been supported by someone nearby, she probably would have broken all her bones.
His face darkened, and he walked over with Xia Yunxue.
When Miss Liu saw that her backup had arrived, she looked smug and made some harsh remarks to Hu Tianqin and Yi Mu.
“You’re finished. My dad will be here soon. You’d better pack your bags and get out of here.”
Hu Tianqin turned around, took out a rental contract from a box, unfolded it, and handed it to Miss Liu.
"I signed a contract with Master Liu five months ago and paid a year's rent. What reason does Miss Liu have to make me pack up and leave?"
