Xique and Linshuang were strolling around the street under the pretext of buying things for each other.
Hearing the gossiping women, Xique was so angry that she was about to rush up and argue with them, but she bumped into someone as soon as she took a step.
"Ah!" the woman cried out in pain.
The magpie took two steps back and looked closely, only to find that it was an extremely beautiful woman.
This woman was clearly not from an ordinary family.
She wore a light pink satin cotton-padded jacket and a matching cape. Even though it was winter and she was dressed in bulky clothes, her figure was still slender, graceful, and exquisite.
Moreover, her face was as beautiful as a flower reflected in water, and she walked as gracefully as a willow swaying in the wind. There was a bright red cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, and her eyes carried a hint of sorrow.
Her overall demeanor was gentle and graceful, and her eyes and brows exuded a soft charm that made people genuinely happy and felt that she was a kind and respectable person.
Beside her were two maids with their hair in double buns and dressed in peach-pink clothes.
The two maids were also exceptionally beautiful, like a pair of twin lotus blossoms.
Two maids were supporting the woman, one on each side.
The girl with the oval face on the left quickly reacted, glaring at Xi Que with a fierce look, yet exuding a pitiful charm: "Don't you watch where you're going? There are so many people on the road, why are you running around like that?"
The magpie hadn't even opened its mouth yet.
The woman in pink then spoke softly to stop her maid, "Chunxing, don't be so aggressive. This young lady must have something urgent to attend to; she didn't mean it."
Xiqiao: "..."
Are there really such good people in this world?
Before the other party has even apologized or denied it, she has already made excuses for them?
Lin Shuang frowned slightly as she looked at the beautiful woman, but still pulled Xi Que forward and gave her a curtsy, saying, "I'm sorry, miss, we really have urgent business, so we accidentally bumped into you. We're really sorry."
The woman promptly returned the greeting, saying, "It's alright."
That delicate and gentle voice, like a gentle stream of hot spring water, was extremely soothing to listen to.
At this moment, a bystander who had witnessed the whole thing chimed in:
"This girl has a really good temper. That bandit clearly bumped into her on purpose, but she still gave him a way out."
"What, bandits?"
"Yes, she was the personal maid of the bandit princess of the Ninth Prince's mansion, and she came down from that bandit den together."
At this moment, another person recognized the woman in pink and exclaimed in surprise:
"Isn't this Miss Song?"
"Miss Song? Could it be Song Huiru, the Miss Song who is about to marry into the Ninth Prince's mansion?"
"That's her! Oh my, her looks, her figure, tsk tsk, she's a beauty of unparalleled grace. The Ninth Prince is truly blessed!"
Xi Que had initially felt some goodwill towards the woman in pink, but upon hearing that she was Song Huiru, his expression immediately changed: upon closer reflection, he realized that she had clearly rushed towards those gossipy women by the roadside.
The roads in Kyoto are so wide, how could they have just happened to hit her?!
What's more, the people who are now speaking up for Song Huiru are the very same gossipy women she wanted to confront earlier!
Seeing that Xique's expression had changed, Lin Shuang was afraid that she would cause trouble, so she quickly pulled her away: "Miss Xique, let's go. The princess is still waiting for our things."
"No rush," said Xique, pulling Lin Shuang back.
She abandoned Song Huiru in front of her, not giving her another second glance, and walked straight towards the group of gossipy women, asking in a deep voice, "What were you all talking about just now? If you have the guts, tell me again!"
