When I heard the sarcastic voice, I knew who it was without turning around.
Who else could it be except the arrogant, sharp-tongued and unreasonable Miss Hu, Hu Mengyao?
"You are so shameless that you dare to come to Wen Yibo's mansion? Don't you know that Sister Wen doesn't like you?" Hu Mengyao started yelling from a few steps away, as if she was afraid that others couldn't hear her.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished shouting, everyone around her looked in her direction, and some were even whispering to each other.
Summer is full of bad luck, and the New Year is really worrying!
"Do you think I want to come? If your sister Wen hadn't posted the message for me, I wouldn't want to come!"
"Hmph, stop flattering yourself. I even sent you a message. Don't you think it's unlucky to see you during the New Year?" Hu Mengyao said contemptuously.
"That is to say, I don't know what Miss Wen is thinking. It is unlucky to see certain people during the New Year. The whole first month of the year may not be good." Xia Tian imitated Hu Mengyao's tone and looked her up and down as he spoke.
Hu Mengyao was so angry that she rushed forward and pointed at Xia Tian, "Who are you saying is unlucky?"
"Just tell whoever is impatient!" Xia Tian crossed his legs and looked at Hu Mengyao calmly, who was about to jump with anger.
"You! You're so sharp-tongued." Hu Mengyao looked around and asked the others, "Where's Sister Wen? Get this shameless woman out of here!"
"Miss Hu is so amazing! She can call the shots in the mansion of Marquis Wen Yi!" Xia Tian said while giving a thumbs up.
There were also people here who didn't know Xia Tian, and they whispered to others, "Who is this person? How dare he speak to Miss Hu Er like that?"
Hu Mengyao's domineering and arrogant behavior is well-known in the circle of young ladies. Because her father is the Minister of War, she always feels as if she is superior to others.
He usually speaks in a sarcastic manner. In addition, he has a good relationship with Miss Wen, who is famous in the capital, and the fourth daughter of General Huwei's mansion, so he looks down on other people.
"This is the farm girl that Prince Chen Nian of the Wu'an Marquisate married. She even won first place in the last Ice Skating Festival." Someone who knew Xia Tian introduced her in a low voice to someone who didn't.
"Oh, it's her!"
"No wonder Hu Mengyao is looking for trouble with her. She's just standing up for Wen Jin!"
"What does this have to do with Wen Jin?" someone asked, not understanding.
"Hey, don't you know? Miss Wen has liked Master Shen since she was a child. This is not, that...well!" The person who spoke raised his chin in the direction of Xia Tian.
"Oh oh oh, I understand." The person who understood smiled mysteriously and nodded repeatedly.
Xia Tian rolled his eyes speechlessly as he listened to other people's discussions.
I don’t know what Miss Wen was thinking. Did she post this just to let these people laugh at her?
I've been sitting here for a long time, but I haven't seen any sign of Miss Wen.
"Mengyao." Hu Mengyao blew his beard and glared at Lin Saiyu righteously.
"Xiaoyu, you're here." Hu Mengyao saw that it was Lin Sayu, turned around and greeted her.
"Well, where is Sister Wen?" Lin Sayu started looking for Wen Jin as soon as she arrived.
She is indeed a good friend.
Lin Sayu looked around and was surprised to see Xia Tian sitting in the corner. "Mrs. Shen is here too?"
"Hello, Miss Lin." Xia Tian nodded as a greeting.
Seeing that Lin Sayu was still greeting this annoying woman, Hu Mengyao grabbed Lin Sayu's arm, frowned and asked her, "Why are you still greeting her? Don't you know she is..."
"Just a greeting. Besides, she didn't provoke us, did she?"
"No, which side are you from? Why are you still speaking for her? This damn woman almost pissed me off just now." Hu Mengyao said angrily.
"I didn't speak for her. I'm definitely on Sister Wen's side, don't worry!" Lin Sayu explained in a low voice. Seeing Hu Mengyao's expression eased, he quickly pulled her away and said, "Let's go find Sister Wen."
After watching Hu Mengyao leave, Xia Tian didn't worry about her anymore and turned to chat with Ningxue.
The others watched the excitement and then left the group to find their own friends.
Xia Tian was sitting there feeling bored when someone from the host's family came and said that the play had started, so she went with the others to watch the show.
The opera being performed on the stage at that moment was "Eight Immortals Celebrating a Birthday". The scene was very lively and festive. Xia Tian found a suitable seat and sat down to enjoy the performance.
The play has not yet ended, and Miss Wen finally shows up.
When the other ladies saw Wen Jin coming, they all stood up to greet her. Xia Tian sat still, her eyes fixed on the stage.
Until Wen Jin came over and sat in the seat next to her.
Xia Tian always had a serious face and didn't even glance sideways.
"Miss Xia, do you like watching plays?" Wen Jin asked.
"I don't really enjoy watching plays, I just want to enjoy the fun." Xia Tian answered expressionlessly.
"Hmph, you don't understand, do you?" Hu Mengyao snorted coldly.
Xia Tian turned his head and stared at Hu Mengyao coldly, "Ms. Hu, did I dig up your ancestral graves or eat your rice? You chase me and bite me when you see me?"
"What's wrong with me biting you? No, who are you calling a dog?" Hu Mengyao realized that Xia Tian was scolding her and wanted to rush up and attack him.
She raised her hands, but was grabbed by Lin Sayu who was standing behind her.
Xia Tian stood up and said to Wen Jin in a cold tone, "Miss Wen, is this how you entertain guests at the Wen Yibo Mansion?"
Wen Jin's face was filled with embarrassment, and she quickly explained to Xia Tian, "No, no, Miss Xia, don't misunderstand me. I invited you here today because I want to tell you something."
"Let's go, Miss Xia, come sit in my yard for a while." Wen Jin smiled embarrassedly.
"Just talk about it here. It's safer here with more people around." Xia Tian refused without any hesitation.
"Hey, I'm giving you face, right? Sister Wen invited you to her yard..." Hu Mengyao couldn't help but start to ridicule again, but Wen Jin quickly interrupted her.
"Mengyao, stop talking. Miss Xia is my guest, and I really have something to say." Wen Jin stopped Hu Mengyao and turned around and said sincerely, "Miss Xia, I really have something to tell you, but it's not convenient to talk here."
Seeing that Xia Tian was still indifferent, Wen Jin promised, "Really? I promise on my reputation that I will never embarrass Miss Xia."
Seeing that she really seemed to have something to say, Xia Tian nodded in agreement.
Wen Jin smiled slightly, turned around, and walked in front to lead the way.
Seeing that Xia Tian agreed to go to Wen Jin's yard, Hu Mengyao also pulled Lin Sayu to follow.
Wen Jin paused and said softly to Hu Mengyao, "Mengyao, you and Sayu wait here for me. I'll be back after I talk to Miss Xia about something." After that, she winked at Lin Sayu and said, "Sayu, please stay with Mengyao."
"Well, Sister Wen, you go ahead. Mengyao and I will be waiting for you here." Lin Sayu quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Hu Mengyao, and waved at Wen Jin.
Wen Jin nodded and continued to take Xia Tian to her yard.
