Miss Du saw Zheng Xinyi being wronged again.
She also stood up from the ground and said, "You are really unreasonable. You are unworthy of being the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, but the words you say are worse than those of ordinary people.
After I get home today, I will definitely tell my father what happened today, and ask my father to tell His Majesty the Emperor about this during the court tomorrow morning.
His Majesty will definitely punish your Zhou family."
Zhou Yiyi waved his hand nonchalantly.
"casual."
Then he waved his hand at the others who were still kneeling on the ground, "Get up! Stop kneeling."
The shopkeeper felt like he was possessed by the god of bad luck. How could he be so unlucky?
Miss Zhou and Miss Zheng are arguing, so why is Miss Du getting involved?
He prayed secretly that no other ladies would get involved, because even if he tore down his entire jewelry store, it wouldn't ease the war between these ladies.
I don’t know whether the shopkeeper was really possessed by the god of bad luck or his words came true.
The two young ladies who had originally followed Miss Du upstairs also started talking at this time.
Among them, the thin Miss Liu took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead.
He took two steps forward and tugged at Miss Du's sleeve.
"Ms. Du, stop talking. Didn't you just say that? You can fight with a gentleman, but not say a word to a villain. Why get angry over a villain?"
Miss Chen, who was plump next to her, had a much louder voice.
"That's right, you think you're superior just because you're beautiful."
Miss Liu and Miss Chen are not fools actually, but their two families have always been dependent on the Zheng family and rely entirely on the Zheng family's support to survive in the capital.
Just now, Zheng Xinyi took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and gave the two of them a look, and they had no choice but to come out.
Zheng Xinyi’s idea was very simple. She wanted to rely on her numbers to scare Zhou Yiyi away.
At this moment, she pretended to be nice and leaned weakly against her brother.
"Thank you ladies for speaking up for justice. I never thought Miss Zhou would be so rude and overbearing. Not only did she steal my pearls, she also hit me.
He even used foul language.”
Zhou Yiyi was almost amused by Zheng Xinyi's clumsy appearance, and she also imitated her and leaned in Tian Manting's arms.
"Cousin, why are people like this nowadays, always looking for abuse and scolding?
You said I shouldn't scold them, but I'm itching to do it. If I scold them, my mouth will be very tired. What should I do?"
Her words sounded light, but to those people's ears, they sounded like thunder.
Miss Chen and Miss Liu were originally under the orders of Zheng Xinyi, and they were so scared that their calves were cramping.
She leaned tremblingly in the arms of the maid beside her, not daring to breathe.
Miss Du also calmed down at this time.
She finally realized that Zhou Yiyi was not a pushover and would not be scared away by just a few words.
Now I feel a little regretful.
Zheng Xinyi didn't expect that after pretending for so long, Zhou Yiyi scared those people away with just one word.
He glared at Miss Chen and Miss Liu fiercely.
"A bunch of trash! I'll tell my father when I get home and see how he punishes your family."
After saying that, he turned around and ran downstairs.
Zheng Zechen tilted his head, raised his chin, and glanced at Zhou Yiyi with a greasy look.
"Do you really think the Regent likes you? If he sees through your true colors, I'm afraid you won't survive a single day under his control."
After saying that, he followed Zheng Xinyi downstairs. As soon as he went down the next step, Zhou Yiyi's lazy voice came from behind him.
"Just make sure you survive tonight. Don't be left with missing arms and legs, unable to go out and see people."
Zheng Zechen in room number 1 felt a chill on his back after hearing the cold voice. He stepped on empty air and rolled down from the second floor.
When he was helped up by the servant beside him, he no longer looked like the noble young man he had been before. He kept groaning, rubbing his sore waist and legs, and left the jewelry store in a panic.
When Ms. Chen and Ms. Liu saw Zheng Xinyi and her brother leave, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and apologized to Zhou Yiyi.
"Ms. Zhou, please be magnanimous and don't argue with us. We have no choice."
Zhou Yi didn't even look at them. She no longer had the heart to go shopping. She took Tian Manting's arm and went downstairs.
Only Miss Du stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. She was really afraid that she would be scolded by her father when she returned home.
As a result, before she even got home, the imperial edict had arrived to demote her father several times. He was demoted three levels. Not only could he not become an imperial censor, he even lost the qualification to enter the palace.
Poor Lord Du, he was just sitting at home when disaster struck and he had no idea what was happening.
When Miss Du returned home and reported what happened today to him, Lord Du was so angry that he slapped her in the face and sent her out of the capital overnight to the Du family's villa outside the city to reflect on her mistakes.
Ms. Liu and Ms. Chen thought that everything would be fine as long as they apologized to Zhou Yi.
Similarly, before they even got home, their father was demoted to a minor official of the ninth rank.
No matter what, he was still a fifth-rank official, but because of a word from these two people, he instantly became a ninth-rank official.
In the evening, while Ye Xichen was giving Zhou Yiyi a massage, he casually told her about the results of the treatment.
"Have you vented your anger? If you're not satisfied, continue tomorrow."
