They even put on an act of repaying a small kindness with great gratitude, as if anyone who didn't express thanks was an ungrateful person.
So you guys are just using that broken hairpin to put on a show, putting down other people and trying to boost your own reputation?
Now that you see others giving substantial gifts of gratitude, and you don't want to be outdone, you're using silver notes from who-knows-where—who are you trying to humiliate?
Wang Shi loved to stand up for the weak, and besides, Ye Zhen called her aunt. Could she stand by and watch the younger generation be bullied?
She was truly furious, and knowing that someone would come to her door again today, she raised her voice extremely high.
However, they did not mention the Xiao family's intention to marry Ye Zhen, so as not to ruin Ye Zhen's reputation. They only said that the Xiao family was putting down other families.
Xiao was not very bright, but she understood Wang's intentions. Some people outside were already dissatisfied with her son. If these words were to spread, those who were unwilling to thank Ye Zhen but had no choice but to would hate her son to death.
Furthermore, considering herself superior, she couldn't stand Wang's words and immediately tried to shift the blame back to Ye Zhen, so she started speaking recklessly.
"She's just a widow, what's so great about her? The Xiao family sincerely came to propose marriage, but she's already learned to act high and mighty. Yet she secretly seduced my son and had him give her gifts in the street."
She blamed Ye Zhen for Xiao Zuo's gift-giving, her slanted eyes looking upwards.
“Princess, I know you have long admired my son. Today I have come in person to give you one last chance. If you still insist on playing coy, then don’t even think about entering the Xiao family. The Xiao family is not a bunch of scumbags; we have been played with by countless people before…”

She was slapped to the ground by Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen said coldly, "I know your Xiao family is poor and you want to take advantage of me, but I really can't stand the character of your Xiao family. Throw them out."
The servants of the Marquis's mansion threw Xiao and her son out. Xiao was indignant and cursed outside the mansion.
Xiao Zuo also felt that Ye Zhen was ungrateful, saying ambiguous things outside the door as if Ye Zhen and he had already had something going on and then abandoned him.
Wang Shi, not wanting to let her talk nonsense, followed her out.
Helian Qing was being coaxed by Cai Yueya to play with pebbles when he heard that someone was causing trouble and even wanted to take Ye Zhen from him, so he ran towards the gate.
Just as he heard Xiao Shi say that Ye Zhen was seducing Xiao Zuo, he walked up to Xiao Zuo and kicked him in the groin.
He ordered Fu Guang, "Dare to steal a woman from me? Castrate him."
Without a second thought, Fu Guang drew his sword and stabbed at Xiao Zuo's groin.
