Chapter 159: First Encounter, Hero Saves Beauty



After leaving the study, the two went to the embroidery workshop. Chi Xingyue bought a long piece of brocade and a lot of beautiful silk threads, intending to give them to her mother-in-law as a gift.

As soon as he went out, he saw a well-dressed woman bullying someone. Chi Xingyue had no intention of interfering, but found that it was Cui Wan'er who fell to the ground.

The heroine and the former heroine were both dangerous people, and she was so scared that she pulled Ling Jiheng back again and again. She wanted to leave, but she was curious about how the plot would develop.

Ling Jiheng found it difficult to understand her conflicted and curious mood, but he tried his best to cooperate.

He calmly led her to the back of the crowd and tried to reduce their presence.

"Bitch, do you know who I am? How dare you dirty my shoes? Get down on your knees and lick them clean!" The woman in yellow spoke arrogantly, her face full of defiance.

Chi Xingyue noticed the other person's bun, and decisively took out some soot from the space and smeared it on Ling Jiheng's face.

Even patted it on the clothes.

Ling Jiheng was a little confused. Maintaining his trust in the little fairy, he just glanced at her suspiciously.

Seeing her showing her teeth guiltily and mouthing "go back and explain", I restrained my curiosity and continued to observe the people in the middle of the road.

As the original heroine, Cui Wan'er is naturally very beautiful.

Even after experiencing exile, her beauty did not diminish much. Instead, she had a sense of resilience that came from having experienced hardships.

However, Cui Wan'er was a smart person. She knew that with the current status of the Cui family, they could not protect the beauty, so she dressed in gray every day and even deliberately made her skin color a little darker.

Today she had gone to the city with her brother to buy winter supplies, but unexpectedly their money was stolen. In her panic, she stepped on the young lady, and her brother disappeared while chasing the thief.

Isolated and helpless, Cui Wan'er remained unmoved. As the daughter of a minister, she had never suffered such an insult.

But she was wrong first, and it is not convenient for her to offend others now.

Cui Wan'er stood up and bowed to Huang Yingying. "It's my fault. I'm sorry. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me. I'm willing to compensate you for the price of these shoes."

She didn't know why, but she had been very lucky recently and had found a lot of good things in the mountains. Cui Wan'er finally got rid of the embarrassment she felt when she first came to Youzhou.

Huang Yingying was dissatisfied with the other party's frivolous attitude. After all, these were her favorite embroidered shoes bought from Shangjing City.

He looked Cui Wan'er up and down, then sneered, "Can you afford to pay for it? This is Liuguang brocade from Shangjing City. A pair of shoes is worth a hundred taels!"

Everyone was in an uproar, but Cui Wan'er frowned, wondering if the other party had been deceived?

She was wearing a pair of ordinary shoes that didn't even cost two taels of silver.

"Miss, Liuguang brocade is known for its bright colors and smooth, supple texture, and is often used to make skirts. The shoes you're wearing clearly don't match the characteristics of Liuguang brocade."

Huang Yingying was startled. She never expected that Cui Wan'er, who looked so miserable and embarrassed, would know something as precious as Liuguangjin.

She originally wanted to trick the other party and take the opportunity to see Cui Wan'er's humble appearance as she knelt and begged, but she hit a wall.

He suddenly became angry and slapped everyone so fast that they were caught off guard.

Chi Xingyue almost exclaimed "No", but realized the power of the plot and quickly covered her mouth to keep quiet.

Cui Wan'er didn't expect the other party to attack her as soon as they disagreed with her. She wanted to resist, but she knew the situation well.

I am now a criminal with no relatives around me. I can neither beat them nor use my power to suppress them.

Pursing her lips, she suppressed the resentment in her heart and asked in a cold tone, "Can I go now?"

After saying that, she turned around, but someone grabbed her arm and said, "Did I let you go? I need to make things clear today. I'm the daughter of a county magistrate, how could I possibly wear fakes?"

Cui Wan'er smiled. She had meant to kindly remind the other party that he might be deceived, but she forgot that the more prestigious a person is, the more he cares about face.

He had undoubtedly just thrown the other person's face to the ground and stepped on it. However, he didn't want to explain anything, he just wanted to leave this place of trouble.

But Huang Yingying refused to give in. She had just been scolded by her mother for being incompetent at home, and when she went out she met a girl who was prettier and more elegant than herself, and she felt very unhappy.

That's right, when women judge other women, they never dwell on superficial appearances. Huang Yingying only took one glance to know that Cui Wan'er was deliberately playing dirty.

Looking at the other person's indifferent eyes, she couldn't help but feel angry. She called the maids and servants to stop Cui Wan'er, and she wanted to beat people up in the street.

Of course Cui Wan'er couldn't just stand there and get beaten, so she quickly dodged left and right.

But she was surrounded by onlookers, and no matter how clever she was, she was hit several times and her cheeks were burning with pain.

Chi Xingyue was stunned, thinking, where is the heroine's halo? She grabbed Ling Jiheng's sleeve and almost made him rush to save people.

Fortunately, the moment his hand was held, a calm and powerful male voice appeared: "Stop!"

Huang Yingying stopped and busily adjusted her clothes, with a shy smile on her face.

The crowd made way for a path, and a tall, resolute-looking man came over with a frown, followed by two servants.

"What's going on?"

"Brother Chengyu, this little girl stepped on my shoes and I asked her to apologize to me!" Huang Yingying subconsciously tried to hold Zhou Chengyu's arm, but he dodged her.

After knowing each other for several years, Zhou Chengyu understood the character of the Huang family very well. This eldest daughter was not as innocent as she appeared.

"Miss, please speak!" Zhou Chengyu glanced over and felt that Cui Wan'er looked familiar.

Cui Wan'er pursed her lips, glanced at Zhou Chengyu, and then glanced at Huang Yingying.

Under the other party's half-hostile, half-threatening gaze, he lowered his head and said softly, "It's just like what this lady said."

Zhou Chengyu didn't believe it at all, but since the parties involved did not pursue the matter, it was difficult for him to seek justice.

He nodded and asked someone to let Cui Wan'er go.

Cui Wan'er saluted subconsciously, but she didn't expect that it was this etiquette that exposed the secret that she was from Shangjing City.

Zhou Chengyu easily thought of the Cui family. He smiled and winked at the servant beside him, asking him to escort them for a while.

"Brother Chengyu..."

"Miss Huang, we are not familiar with each other, please respect yourself!"

"Why aren't we familiar with each other? Let's..."

Chi Xingyue didn't listen any further, he just thought this melon was really big.

No need to think about it, Cheng Yu’s surname is Zhou. If he is not the male protagonist in this life, he is also a close relative of the male protagonist.

After Ling Jiheng and I were away from the crowd, we whispered a reminder: "Next time you meet that person, be polite. Even if you are not friends, try not to offend him."

Ling Jiheng nodded, vaguely guessing the other party's identity.

The two of them strolled back to Ruyi Tower, ordered a table of delicious food and chatted while eating.

I packed ten roast chickens when I left. The smell was so delicious that it could be smelled from miles away.

Chi Xingyue got into the car, put the roast chicken into the space, and took out a can of canned yellow peaches.
