Tan Huanhuan interjected, "Ignoring someone like her is the right thing to do. She called me a country bumpkin, but I think she’s the real one. She even stretched her hand to block Xiao Chen. As a woman, what is this behavior? It’s disgraceful, and brings shame to us all. Men and women shouldn’t have such physical contact. She really lacks propriety."
The words she used to curse were all thought up with the extent of her education.
It was truly a challenge!
Your loyal Ji Changzhou is now online: "Anyone Huanhuan dislikes is someone I dislike too."
Ye Zhi swore that she never slandered the female lead in front of them. The current situation has nothing to do with her. There should be vengeance for old grievances, and settlements for old scores. Going forward, she asks the male and female leads to let her be.
The group of three from the Ye Family walked toward the four children.
"Ah Zhi, that little girl in red just left."
Ye Zhi nodded and replied to her mother, "Yes, her mother came to pick her up. Mother, I’m not familiar with her."
"If that’s the case, we should head back to the house. This afternoon, start packing up. We’ll send you back to the academy tomorrow. You must respect your teachers. If I hear from the teacher that you’ve been misbehaving at the academy, you’ll see how I’ll deal with you. Xiao Chen is young but has a steady temperament. You should learn from him."
Shen Chen was that perfect child from other families~
Perhaps because he had no parents from an early age, he lacked a bit of the innocence children ought to have.
Taught by three teachers, he was self-disciplined to the extreme, and his studies were top-notch!
Lately, the Ye Family kept praising him occasionally.
Compared to their daughter, it’s like heaven and earth~
But she is their flesh and blood after all, and she lacked nothing that a daughter should have.
Ye Zhi took advantage of her mother’s lecture and slipped away like a puff of smoke, her small body nimble: "I know, I know!"
The sounds of her response echoed off.
Tan Huanhuan, being playful, chased after her, and surely her loyal follower followed as well.
Shen Chen walked slowly behind, not joining the chase!
They soon reached a crowded place, and the few playful children stopped playing around and walked properly.
They didn’t want to be seen as troublesome children.
At this moment, not far from them.
A girl in an apricot-red cloud-brocade pleated dress, her small face pale, with big, dark eyes brimming with tears, spoke: "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to."
Nodding and bowing, she was apologizing profusely.
The wine pot and cup on the ground were shattered, and wine spilled everywhere.
Approaching closer, one could smell the strong aroma of wine wafting.
Fragments of porcelain lay scattered at the scene.
From the fragments, it was evident that the wine pot was from Bianliang, made with high-grade glazing in a celadon color from an old kiln, along with matching cups.
This set wouldn’t come for anything less than several dozen taels.
Indeed, the next words from the owner provided testimony.
"This was a celadon old kiln wine pot set I purchased from Bianliang. It cost me fifty taels of silver."
The owner was a very fat man, with a big belly, small eyes, full stubbly beard, and a despicable face. Next to his mouth was a big dark birthmark, which made him look even fiercer. His tone filled with regret and aggravation.
He glared at the little girl crying like a pear blossom in the rain, "What are you crying for?"
"I’m telling you, this porcelain set cost me fifty taels. I’m not asking for much, just compensate me with a hundred taels, and we’ll call it even."
"Those fifty taels are for your trouble. Do you know how many days it takes to travel from Bianliang to the Capital City? Otherwise, this won’t be over."
Turning around, he instructed the two tall and strong attendants behind him, not to let the woman run away.
The girl in the apricot-red dress had a startled look on her face when she heard "one hundred taels," and she began to cry even louder.
The fat man said viciously, "Crying won’t help, everyone saw you bump into me just now."
