When Qibao heard this, he looked back and saw a woman in a light green dress walking slowly behind them, accompanied by a little maid.
When Xia Qiuyue saw the woman, her expression was a little uncertain. She wanted to say something, but seemed to be afraid of something, and her face turned pale and blue.
The woman in the green dress was a little surprised when she saw Qibao turning around to look at her. She didn't expect that this guy from the country could be so handsome. However, she quickly regained her condescending expression. What's the point of being good-looking? He was just a person with no identity or background.
"Xia Qiuyue, you wouldn't think that this young man is from some rich family just because he is handsome and well-dressed, right? It's true, he was born from your aunt's belly, and she has a shallow vision." The woman continued to mock Xia Qiuyue.
At this moment, Xia Qiuyue just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Why couldn't this young man be a son of an official, but just came from the countryside? Not only did she lose face so much, but she was also ridiculed so wantonly.
At this time, the ladies and girls who were choosing clothes around also looked over. Some of them covered their mouths and laughed, while others watched the excitement with interest.
"Why does Sister Yuman insult Qiuyue like this? Qiuyue just wants to make friends with this young man and has never offended Sister Yuman. Why do you always make things difficult for me every time you see me?" Xia Qiuyue's tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
"Put away that disgusting look of yours. Who is your sister? Are you worthy of calling me sister? If you dare to try to make connections next time, I will slap your face to pieces." The woman in green said coldly.
Xia Qiuyue felt extremely humiliated when she heard this. She looked at the ladies and young ladies around who were watching the fun. She didn't want to stay here any longer, so she picked up her skirt and ran out.
"Hold her." Seeing this, the woman in green hurriedly said to the maid beside her.
"Yes." The maid quickly agreed after receiving her master's order. She grabbed Xia Qiuyue's arm and said, "My lady hasn't finished speaking yet, why are you running away?"
Xia Qiuyue was pulled and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
"Did you hear what I said? Do you think what I said is bullshit?" The woman in green said gritting her teeth.
"Yes, Miss Wu, Qiuyue is just calling Yuman Sister together with my elder sister. Since Miss Xu doesn't like me calling you that, I won't call you that next time." Xia Qiuyue lowered her head and said in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly, but her eyes were filled with deep hatred.
"You're just a concubine's daughter, how can you be compared with your sister? I heard from Xinyue that your aunt's mother is always courting your father and giving you everything that should have been given to her."
Xia Qiuyue clenched her fists when she heard this. She knew that her elder sister Xia Xinyue liked to invite a few young ladies to her house when she had nothing to do, and then say bad things about her and her mother. And this Wu Yuman was Xia Xinyue's best friend.
"Miss Wu, you misunderstood. I am also my father's daughter. It's just that the day before yesterday, I made his favorite snacks for him. He was so happy that he gave me a gold and jade headdress." Xia Qiuyue said in a low voice.
"Hmph, stick to your duties as a concubine's daughter and don't show off your affection everywhere for no reason. If I hear Xinyue say that you stole her things next time, I won't just insult you with a few words like I did today." Wu Yuman snorted coldly.
"Yes, Qiuyue remembers it." After saying that, she ran away without looking back, her two hands tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, her fingers pinched white, her eyes filled with humiliation and resentment.
"Bitch." Wu Yuman looked at Xia Qiuyue who was running away with a mocking and smug look in her eyes, and cursed softly.
Qibao and Fuqiu watched the whole thing from beginning to end. Fuqiu even whispered in Qibao's ear, "Miss, this is too... horrible."
Qibao calmly patted Fuqiu's hand as a comfort.
However, in Wu Yuman's eyes, this scene was indeed a bit contemptuous and disdainful. It was another drama of a maid seducing her master. When she passed by Qibao and Fuqiu with a smug look on her face, she whispered "country bumpkin" and snorted, then walked past arrogantly.
Fuqiu was furious when she heard the three words coming out of her mouth. She said, "Master, we didn't offend her, why did she say that?"
Qibao explained softly, "Some people just like to feel important, thinking they're insignificant and looking down on others. Such people are so arrogant and domineering because they haven't experienced the harshness of society. However, I'm not one of those people who can gossip about others."
Qibao snapped his fingers, and a ball of invisible energy hit Wu Yuman's knee.
"Ah!" A scream was heard suddenly.
"Miss! What's wrong with you?"
Wu Yuman was seen hugging her knees and rolling back and forth on the ground.
"It hurts so much, it hurts... It hurts so much that it kills me." Wu Yuman was howling in pain on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and her facial features looked a little distorted because of the pain.
Qibao curled the corners of his lips. This was the price for speaking rudely to her. She knew how much strength she had used. Wu Yuman's leg must be mostly bruised, and the calf muscles must be injured as well. If she didn't lie down at home for half a month, she would never be able to get out of bed.
The onlookers were frightened by the scene and retreated one after another.
Later, with the help of the maid and the shop assistants, Wu Yuman was lifted up from the ground. Someone found a stretcher and probably carried her to the clinic.
Everyone was also extremely confused. Wu Yuman, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly hugged her legs and wailed on the ground.
Qibao continued to choose clothes calmly, but he also heard some news from the onlookers. Wu Yuman was the daughter of Wu Zhongqian, a deputy historian of the Ministry of Public Administration of the fourth rank, and she was also an arrogant and domineering person.
Qibao shook her head. To her, this kind of person was brainless. He was just the family of a fourth-rank official in the capital, a title that was neither high nor low, yet he dared to act so recklessly. He must have never suffered any hardship.
At this time, the shop owner came out and said, "I'm sorry, ladies and girls. It was just an accident and I frightened you. Miss Wu's accident also happened in our shop. We can't be irresponsible. I will go to the clinic myself in a while. Please don't be afraid, ladies and girls, and continue to choose the clothes you like. This kind of thing will not happen again in the future. We will definitely strengthen the safety of our customers."
The ladies also expressed their understanding and nodded, indicating that they didn't care.
"Miss, did you do this?" Fuqiu asked softly in Qibao's ear, with some excitement in her eyes.
Qibao patted Fuqiu's head helplessly and said, "Don't ask so many questions. After you choose your clothes, go meet up with Big Brother and the others."
Fuqiu chuckled when she heard that. She knew that no one here had this ability except her young lady.
