Chapter 140 Ruined Her Good Intentions
Xiao Yanci came over upon hearing the news, his cold gaze sweeping over the few people. He exuded an air of authority without even being angry. "What's going on? Who started it first?"
This was the first time everyone saw him with such an expression, and they were so frightened that they dared not speak.
Little Tiger stiffened his neck, his voice choked with sobs, "I was the first to hit them, but they deserved to be beaten! They were gossiping about my sister behind her back, saying nothing but nasty things. I was so mad!"
Chun Xing's eyes were red and her voice was choked.
"Your Highness Prince Jin, this is all my fault. If you want to punish me, come at me. Please show some mercy and spare Hu Zi."
Xiao Yanci looked at the women and asked, "What did you say?"
They hesitated, "It's just, it's just a casual talk."
"What's just saying?"
They pushed each other and no one spoke.
Little Tiger said angrily, "My sister wanted to join the workshop to learn embroidery, but they said she was a broken flower, that no one would dare to wear the embroidery she made, and that she was not worthy of joining the workshop. They also said that she..."
[She has such an alluring appearance, no wonder she was snatched away as a concubine.]
[She seems restless. The same cotton-padded jacket makes her waist look extra prominent. She must have secretly altered it. Maybe she's trying to find another buyer.]
[Who would want a slut like her? She's so shameless.]
Such words were too harsh for Xiao Huzi to hear.
But Xiao Yanci already understood what was going on.
When Chun Xing first arrived at the shelter, she was so thin that only skin and bones were left. She looked very pitiful and everyone felt sorry for her.
After such a period of recuperation, her face gradually became fuller and she became more elegant and refined. She was very eye-catching among the group of village women, so naturally some people started to gossip about her behind her back.
This was not the first time someone talked about her behind her back. Every time she heard it, she just endured it silently and ignored it.
But Xiao Huzi is not the type to swallow his anger, and he can't bear to see his sister suffer any injustice, so he made a big deal out of it.
Xiao Yanci glanced at them with a cold gaze, "Did you ever say such a thing?"
A trace of guilt flashed across the faces of the three women.
"We were just, just joking."
"Yes, yes, we are just joking, don't take it seriously."
Little Tiger retorted loudly, "You're talking so viciously, you're not kidding! You're all bad people who bullied my sister!"
Xiao Yanci said coldly, "This workshop was spearheaded by the Princess of Pingle. She paid for every penny. What was her motivation? To provide women across the world with a broader path and a brighter future."
"She doesn't look down on you because of your humble background. As long as you're down-to-earth and hardworking, even if you're illiterate and have no foundation, she'll give you equal opportunities. But what about you? Instead of working hard, you gossip behind people's backs, self-righteously creating division and discrimination! You're ruining the future of an innocent woman, betraying the Princess of Pingle's original intention of building the workshop, and ruining her good intentions!"
These words were so shocking that the three women lowered their heads in shame. Others who had talked about Chun Xing behind her back were also filled with shame.
Lu Zhiran looked at Xiao Yanci, surprise flashing in her eyes.
He could express his thoughts so accurately, word for word.
My heart seemed to be gently poked by something, and a strange and indescribable emotion spread across my heart.
Xiao Baozhu immediately stood up and cheered loudly, "Well said!"
Xiao Yanci looked at her and was slightly startled.
When he turned his eyes, they happened to meet Lu Zhiran.
For some reason, Lu Zhiran felt as if her heart was burned, and her eyes flickered slightly.
Xiao Yanci subconsciously touched his arms and found the red coral earring close to his chest.
It’s strange to say, he always couldn’t keep things in the past, but this earring was fine and he didn’t lose it again.
Xiao Baozhu looked at the three women and said, "As women too, you not only have no sympathy for the innocent woman who has suffered misfortune, but instead you speak ill of her. Don't you feel guilty?"
"Whether you can enter the workshop is decided by the manager, not you. I see your hands are rough and cracked, and then I see this girl with long, slender fingers and delicate skin. These are the hands of an embroiderer. If we were to conduct a strict selection, you would be the ones eliminated."
These words made the three of them pale, and many of them looked down at their hands.
They do all kinds of work at home and outside, so whose hands wouldn't be rough?
Chun Xing was taken back to the Fang family. Although she was physically tortured, her hands were in good condition.
The three women immediately knelt down, their faces filled with regret. "Your Highness Prince Jin, we were wrong! We will never do that again."
Xiao Yanci said calmly, "I am not the one you should apologize to."
The three of them immediately said to Chun Xing, "Sister Chun Xing, we're sorry. We were wrong. We won't talk nonsense like this again!"
Chun Xing felt a surge of pain in her heart. All the grievances she had suffered during this period of time were finally vented at this moment.
The three of them pleaded with Xiao Yanci again, "Please let us stay in the workshop. We can't do delicate work, but we can do rough work. We are willing to do any dirty or tiring work!"
Xiao Yanci said calmly, "If you behave yourself and behave well, I will naturally give you a chance. But if you still refuse to repent and continue to cause trouble, I will show you no mercy. The same goes for the rest of you. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!"
This shocking moment calmed down the people who were originally a little arrogant. At the same time, a sense of urgency arose. What if they were not selected? Now, many people come to the workshop every day to inquire about the news, just waiting to grab their spots!
They must try their best to perform well and must not let anyone else take their place!
After everyone dispersed, Xiao Yanci was about to walk towards Lu Zhiran, but Xiao Huzi stuck to him.
"Your Highness Prince Jin, you have helped my sister again. You are such a kind person!"
"It is just my duty."
"Your Highness Prince Jin, if you have any instructions, just call me and I can do anything!"
"I have nothing to tell you. Go and have fun."
Xiao Yanci's eyes were always following Lu Zhiran's direction, but this kid was very ignorant and followed him closely.
Xiao Yanci stopped and he bumped into him.
"What are you doing following me?"
Little Tiger rubbed his sore nose and straightened his back. "I, I'm fine. I just want to stay by your side and be at your service at any time."
Xiao Yanci's eyes moved around him several times, "What are you planning, kid?"
Little Tiger's eyes dodged slightly, but finally he seemed to be determined and shouted, "I, I want to work with His Highness! Although I'm young, I'm very strong. I just defeated three of them by myself! As long as Your Highness gives me a chance, I will definitely do it!"
