"Mr. Yu, you don't know how excessive those people outside are..."
"Koharu!"
Lianxing used her eyes to stop him from saying anything, but this time Xiaochun did not listen to him. Instead, he vividly imitated and told Yu Xiaotian all the ridicule and insults that the customers had just used against Lianxing.
"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged!"
Yu Xiaotian felt very guilty when he thought about Lianxing being insulted for no reason because she went to the shop to help.
"Forget it. What they said wasn't wrong to begin with. There are indeed many women who neglect their husbands at home because they hang out in Hongchen Pavilion. Let them scold me if they want. I won't lose a piece of meat anyway."
Lian Xing had long been accustomed to these insults, and even though he was insulted again today, someone stood up for him, so he didn't seem to feel that bad anymore...
"Don't say that, Lianxing. You have a kind heart, which is much better than those people with bad hearts."
Looking at Yu Xiaotian's sincere eyes, Lian Xing smiled bitterly.
"Kind? Xiaotian, do you really think so?"
"Of course, Lianxing. You rescued me when I fainted on the road on a rainy night, and even had someone change me into clean clothes and prepare some hot porridge to warm me up. You even made a special trip today to return my clothes to me. I'm truly grateful to you, Lianxing!"
Lian Xing smiled bitterly upon hearing this. He had never been a kind person. He would argue, fight, and play with people, but he also had his limits. He had saved the man who had fainted on the side of the road, but only because that man was Yu Xiaotian.
"Okay, I'll take note. Thank you, Xiaotian! It's getting late now, and I should go back."
Lianxing asked Xiaochun to pack up the clothes on the stone bench, declined Yu Xiaotian's invitation, said goodbye to Situ Ye in the store, and left.
At this time, the agreed carriage also arrived. Lianxing looked at the sign of Jinghuayuan Snacks reluctantly, and then got on the carriage back to Hongchen Pavilion with Xiaochun's help.
Caiyun Street was particularly bustling today, filled with people gossiping about the Yuan family's martial arts gym and the Sihai gambling house. Unbeknownst to them, however, the Yuan family's misfortunes were only just beginning.
