Lan Shao's attention was on Jiang Shuyou just now, and he didn't look at Shen Danru carefully. He only looked at her after he heard Shen Danru speak.
But upon seeing it, he was immediately captivated.
This girl is exactly what he looks like. If he could marry her, he would be willing to make her his principal wife.
No wonder she could charm Jiang Shuyou.
If his grandfather Lambeth were here, he would probably be terrified.
Shen Danru and his sister Lan Yangyang look at least seven or eight parts alike. Back then, Lan Yangyang was the most beautiful woman in Sifang Town, and even in Shengjing, she was a recognized beauty.
Lan Shao really wanted to slap himself. It was fine that he was joking with Jiang Shuyou, but given their kinship, his cousin probably wouldn't hold it against him for a woman.
But he was afraid that if he left a bad impression on Shen Danru, it would be bad.
He pretended to slap himself in the mouth and said with a smile, "Please forgive me, young lady. I spoke without thinking and said something I shouldn't have. I deserve to be slapped."
"He deserves to be hit."
For some reason, Shen Danru had no good feelings towards the Lan family. Even now that she knew her grandmother was Lan Yangyang, the second young lady of the Lan family, she still disliked the Lan family.
There must have been a reason why that maidservant, clinging to her father, preferred to ask passersby for help rather than return to the Lan family.
I recently heard that Madam Jiang beat her younger brother and his wife, which is probably related to what happened back then.
Thinking of all the suffering her father had endured over the years, she realized that if she hadn't come back, her father would probably have been tormented by Chen Shi for the rest of his life in that small mountain village.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She ordered Qingtan, "Qingtan, slap him. Don't hold back."
"yes."
Qingtan stepped forward and slapped Lan Shao several times across the face.
Lan Shao hadn't expected Shen Danru to be so fierce, resorting to violence at the slightest provocation.
He wanted to hide, but in front of Qingtan, with his few days of rudimentary martial arts training with Master Wu to improve his health, he had no chance to hide at all.
I've really embarrassed myself today.
This woman is just taking advantage of the Jiang family's influence to bully others.
Given Jiang Shuyou's status, it's impossible for him to marry her. Once his cousin returns to Shengjing, he'll send someone to capture this woman and torture her properly.
Several of his classmates, who had a relatively good relationship with Lan Shao, stepped forward and questioned him: "Why are you hitting people for no reason?"
Shen Danru smiled and said, "Because you're blind, because you're deaf."
They pretended not to hear what Lan Shao said earlier, but now that they've been slapped, they're coming back to speak. It seems they really are good friends.
"You... don't you know who we are? If you offend us, will you still be able to do business in town?"
These men were sons of powerful families in the town, and relying on their families, they were usually arrogant and haughty.
"I don't care who you are. Cousin Wenxuan, remember these people. Tell your men to beat them with big sticks whenever they see them."
At this moment, a waiter brought out a sign, which was written by Shen Yuyan, whom he had asked to write.
Today is the opening day of the shop, and Shen Danru gave Shen Yuyan a day off so that he could get some fresh air.
When the group saw the sign, it really did read, "The Lan family and dogs are not allowed to enter." They were immediately enraged and their faces turned ashen.
Lan Shao belongs to the Lan family, so aren't they just dogs?
"You, you woman, how can you swear like that? It's truly indecent."
Shen Danru was very satisfied: "It seems you still have some self-awareness, knowing that you are beasts. Please leave. Today is the opening day of the shop. Those who cause trouble, don't blame us for being impolite."
At this moment, a crowd gathered by the roadside, all pointing and whispering, feeling very relieved.
Everyone was filled with curiosity about Shen Danru. Who was this girl who dared to offend even these young masters?
At this moment, the crowd parted, and the headmaster of Feiyun Martial Arts School, along with several martial arts instructors, all carried congratulatory gifts, which were also apology gifts.
Lan Shao's kung fu was taught by Xie Hong.
The young masters, knowing Xie Hong's relationship with Lan Shao, were delighted and said, "Master Xie, you've come at the right time. Your disciple has been bullied."
They couldn't beat that woman, but Master Xie was different. He was the head of Feiyun Martial Arts School, and his kung fu was second to none in Sifang Town.
Xie Hong glanced at the group of young masters, then at Lan Shao, a hint of doubt in his mind.
Seeing that Lan Shao's face was slightly swollen, he guessed that he had been taught a lesson by the girl.
He deserved it.
He kicked a hornet's nest; he has no one to blame but himself.
His face isn't very swollen, so he must be very thick-skinned.
He dared not call Lan Shao his master; it was only because the Lan family had invited him that he dared not refuse and had taught him for a period of time. He was already very content to be able to respectfully call him "teacher".
However, he still outwardly showed concern.
He took out a tube of ointment from his person.
He practiced martial arts from a young age and was often injured, so he developed a habit of carrying liniment with him at all times.
This was prepared by an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor he consulted.
"Young Master Lan, what happened to your face? I have some liniment here to reduce swelling, please apply it quickly."
Lan Shao already felt embarrassed, and when Xie Hong said it out loud, he became even more embarrassed.
"Thank you for your concern, teacher. I'm fine; I just tripped and fell."
Xie Hong didn't want to expose him, and said with a smile, "That's good. This ointment is very effective. Take it quickly. It's the same kind I gave you when you were a child."
Lan Shao had no choice but to accept it, even though he was reluctant.
Seeing that Lan Shao didn't say anything, Xie Hong stepped forward with a smile and said, "Miss Chen, this is a small gift prepared by our Feiyun Martial Arts School. We hope you will accept it."
You can't hit a smiling face, and since the headmaster of Feiyun Martial Arts School came to deliver a gift in person, Shen Danru still gave him face.
Furthermore, it was Master Wu from the martial arts school who led people to commit wrongdoing. Although Master Xie was negligent in his management, he had already apologized in person and dismissed Sun Shi, as well as the students who had followed him in committing wrongdoing.
Shen Danru smiled and accepted the gift: "Thank you, Director Xie. Please come in, gentlemen. Cousin Wenxuan, this is Director Xie of Feiyun Martial Arts School. Take him to the private room and tell them to treat him well."
Zhou Wenxuan quickly greeted with a smile, "Director Xie, fellow masters, please follow me."
Before entering, Xie Hong also saw the sign at the door that read, "The Lan family and dogs are not allowed to enter."
He pretended not to see it and went inside with Zhou Wenxuan.
This Miss Shen is a capable person, and we can't afford to offend her. I heard that she even bought two thousand acres of saline-alkali land in the east of the city. The county magistrate is impressed with her, and she's also close to the Jiang family. I'd better turn a blind eye to her. We can't offend the Lan family, and we definitely can't offend Miss Shen.
Although he had never met anyone from the Jiang family, when he entered, there were two elegantly dressed young men and women. It was possible that the legendary young master Jiang Shuyou was also the owner of Yipin Moke, and the other person was probably the young lady from the Jiang family.
Lan Bing'er was even more annoyed. Just now they said there were no private rooms, but when the people from Feiyun Martial Arts School came, there were. Did they think that the people from Feiyun Martial Arts School were less important than the people from Feiyun Martial Arts School?
