Within two days, Yuan Zhengqing's words came true, and the shop of the Marquis of Zhenguo was jointly boycotted.
People who had nothing to do after eating began to criticize the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion for opening a clan school for the children of servants.
Many slanderous words against Ling Xiang began to spread in restaurants and teahouses. At first, they were openly mocking and secretly mocking her, but later they didn't even try to hide it, saying that Ling Xiang was ugly and had a lot of bad intentions.
"These people are going too far! What we do in our own house has nothing to do with them!" Xiaoyue was very indignant. "Miss, what should we do?"
"It's okay. Let them say whatever they want. We just need to do what we think is right." Ling Xiang looked indifferent.
Xiaoyu couldn't bear to hear others slander her young lady: "But, they are talking nonsense like this, slandering the young lady. Xiaoyu feels sorry for the young lady."
Ling Xiang touched the scar on her face and said, "Why should I feel wronged? They are right. I am indeed not good-looking."
"Miss..." Xiaoyu felt even more distressed, "There must be a way to restore Miss's face!"
"Yes, there will be!" Ling Xiang rubbed Xiaoyu's head. "When the time comes, your young lady will make a dazzling appearance with her peerless beauty, blinding their eyes!"
Puff!
Xiaoyu was amused by Ling Xiang, "That's right, our young lady is the most beautiful in the whole capital, no, in the whole Dajing Empire!"
Mu Heng stood by, carefully wiping the sword in his hand. "Miss, I have already investigated those who spoke ill of you in the teahouse today. Tonight, I will definitely teach them a lesson!"
Ling Xiang looked at the half-grown boy in front of her.
Mu Heng has been following me for some time. He has a simple mind and a kind character. Once he decides to do something, he will do it immediately, and he will not turn back even if he hits a wall.
Ling Xiang took out the second crossbow made by Jin Bowen, which was also modified by Ling Xiang to be able to use spiritual power to fire multiple spiritual arrows at the same time, and handed it to Mu Heng:
"Looking for a fight, huh? Here, take it. This thing is handy, perfect for taking the enemy by surprise and defeating a larger force with a smaller force."
Mu Heng received the crossbow, his eyes gleaming. "Miss, is this the weapon Grandmaster Jin painstakingly crafted? How powerful is it? Is it even more powerful than the sword in my hand?"
Ling Xiang suddenly took out a crossbow and shot two arrows at Mu Heng.
Mu Heng was startled. Before he could react, the crossbow arrow flew past his ear and went straight into the wall behind him.
The renovated Marquis Zhenguo Mansion was built with top-quality gold sand as the building material, which could withstand the attacks of the Spirit King without being damaged. But now it was shot into by Ling Xiang's sword!
"So powerful?" Mu Heng touched his ear, which had almost been hit. He couldn't imagine if such an attack landed on him, would he still be able to survive...
"The one in your hand is a modified one. It's much more powerful than mine." Ling Xiang suggested, "Do you want to try it?"
Mu Heng swallowed, looked at the crossbow in his hand, and then looked at the arrows on the wall. He was very tempted, but shook his head and said, "No, we can't try it here. We can't destroy the wall we have repaired with great difficulty."
Ling Xiang suggested: "Didn't you just say you wanted to fight? It's a good opportunity to try your hand at fighting with them."
Mu Heng thought about it, nodded repeatedly, and walked out with the crossbow.
Ling Xiang held his forehead, "Mu Heng, I'm just kidding you, are you really going to get into a fight? So many people are saying bad things about me, can you really beat them all up? Not to mention that with your current strength, you might get beaten up if you go. Even if they stand there and let you hit them, you won't be able to handle so many people..."
Mu Heng said with a desperate move: "Even if I can't win, I will let them know that our Zhenguohou Mansion is not to be bullied! My young lady is not someone they can talk about!"
"That's right! Mu Heng, I support you! I'll go with you!" Xiaoyu trotted to catch up with Mu Heng.
Ling Xiang put away her joking expression and said seriously, "I have a way to make them admit their mistakes. Are you two willing to help?"
When Xiaoyu heard that the young lady had a solution, she stopped following Mu Heng and came close to Ling Xiang, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Young lady, tell me quickly, what is the solution?"
Ling Xiang hooked her finger at them.
The two of them moved closer and listened carefully to Ling Xiang's ideas.
After listening, Mu Heng scratched his head: "Miss, is it that simple?"
Ling Xiang asked back: "What else, really go and have a fight?"
"I believe in you, Miss. If you say it's okay, it's okay!" Xiaoyu dragged Mu Heng away, "Let's go and get to work!"
Before the two of them left the courtyard, the guard at the door came trotting over with a visiting card and said, "Miss, the Prince of Qin is here to visit. He's already at the door."
Ling Xiang took a look at the visiting card. The handwriting on it was vigorous and powerful. It was actually written by Nangong Yu himself.
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, please come to the living room." Ling Xiang stood up and glanced at Xiaoyu and Mu Heng standing at the gate. "Why don't you two go to work?"
It was certain that something bad was going to happen when the King of Qin came. Xiaoyu couldn't care less about anything else. She had to protect the young lady. "Young lady, I'll stay and serve you tea!"
"I'll stay too! I..." Mu Heng didn't leave either. After thinking for a while, he finally came up with an excuse, "I'll stay and run errands for the young lady!"
"Okay, I don't need to serve tea or run errands. The important thing is to finish the things I told you to do. You don't have to follow me." Compared to Xiaoyu and Mu Heng who were facing a great enemy, Ling Xiang was very calm now. Anyway, Nangong Yu would not touch her until Gao Zhenzhen recovered from her illness. She was not nervous at all.
Xiaoyu wanted to insist, but after being glanced at by Ling Xiang, she immediately turned around and left, not forgetting to pull Mu Heng along with her before leaving.
Xiaoyu and the other person had just left, and Ling Xiang was about to pull out the arrow from the wall when Nangong Yu arrived.
He did not follow Lian Cailiang to the living room, but went straight to Ling Xiang's Xiangyuan. Lian Cailiang couldn't stop him:
"Your Highness, this is the young lady's residence. It is against the rules for you to be here."
Seeing that Nangong Yu had already stepped in, Ling Xiang pretended to leave the wall casually and said with a smile: "Uncle Lian, I'll be here, you go and do your work."
Lian Cailiang looked at Ling Xiang worriedly. Ling Xiang gave him a reassuring look, and then he retreated.
Ling Xiang walked to the table, took out a teapot, boiled water and made tea: "Your Highness, Prince Qin, I thought you knew how to pass the visiting card, and you should know the etiquette of visiting others."
Nangong Yu seemed oblivious to Ling Xiang's sarcasm. "Ling Xiang, I don't care if you open a clan school. However, you are my fiancée now, and you have been criticized for your inappropriate behavior, ruining my reputation. I order you to stop the clan school immediately and admit your mistakes!"
"Your Highness, you are so nosy!" Ling Xiang frowned, picked up the tea in his hand and poured it towards Nangong Yu.
