"Jinyao is here, which is perfect for her to take a look at my young lady. You can go to the clinic with Wanxing without worry. I'll take good care of her."
Her voice was quite loud, and it quickly attracted the attention of several people nearby.
Those people were all daughters of officials in the capital. After having dinner at the restaurant across the street, they were about to go into Jinluzhai to choose some things.
Upon hearing Ye Zhen's words, their gazes fell upon Xie Jinyao. Noticing that she was wearing a veil, one of them tentatively asked, "Xie Jinyao?"
"You've made a mistake."
"Yes, are you Jinyao's friend?"
Xie Jinyao and Ye Zhen spoke in unison.
That person was Su Yanwan, the daughter of the Vice Minister of War, but she was not Xie Jinyao's friend, but Ye Wantang's close confidante.
He had been suppressed by Xie Jinyao quite often, so he was fairly familiar with Xie Jinyao.
After hearing Ye Zhen's words and taking a closer look, Xie Jinyao recognized her.
Thinking of something, he suddenly laughed and said, "Miss Xie is usually so imposing, why is she so low-key today, not even admitting her identity?"
Could it be that they also feel ashamed of what happened to Young Master Xie and dare not show their faces in public again?
Another young lady beside Su Yanwan laughed and said, "I guess that's how it is, otherwise why would the Lady of the Marquis stay at the estate instead of returning to the capital?"
She must feel ashamed of raising such a son; Miss Xie, on the other hand, has a thicker skin.
"Alas, it's such a pity that with an older brother like that in the family, Miss Xie's marriage prospects are probably going to be very difficult."
The thing Xie Jinyao least wanted to happen still happened.
Now that she'd been recognized, she decided to stop pretending and drew her soft whip from her waist. "Shut up! That man isn't my second brother. If you dare spread any more rumors, I won't let you off the hook."
Seeing that she was still so arrogant at this time, and remembering that she liked to whip people, the men did not dare to start another conflict.
Xie Jinyao glared angrily at Ye Zhen, "You did this on purpose."
Ye Zhen is usually a quiet person at home, but today she's unusually talkative. She must be deliberately revealing her identity to embarrass her.
Ye Zhen looked innocent. "I didn't know you couldn't see anyone."
Su Yanwan chuckled and couldn't help but say, "Exactly, if that person wasn't Xie Yunzhou, why were you covering your face?"
Isn't this a classic case of protesting too much?
"Smack."
The whip struck the ground, and Xie Jinyao felt extremely humiliated. She angrily said, "Su Yanwan, if you dare to say another word, the second lash will be on you."
Su Yanwan was also pampered at home, otherwise how could she dare to stand on Ye Wantang's side and oppose Xie Jinyao?
Enraged by Xie Jinyao's public humiliation, the two ended up arguing in the street.
Ye Zhen seemed very frightened and hurriedly sent Wanxing back to the Marquis's residence to inform the Marquis of Zhongyong.
Meanwhile, the people Xie Jinyao sent to the manor also came to Jinluzhai with the idea of the Lady Hou.
