Xia Luotong frowned slightly. This malicious voice sounded familiar, and it was obviously directed at her, but she seemed to know no one else besides Zuo Xiyan, right?
Turning around, she saw two girls, each with a maid, blocking her path. Their arrogant eyes looked straight at her with disgust, making it clear that the target was her.
She took a closer look and instantly remembered these two girls. It turned out that they were the two girls who suddenly appeared to talk to Zuo Xiyan a few days ago in Yusheng Pavilion and bumped into her at the end.
Although she didn't know the two of them, she was not confused about the malice they showed toward her at this time. It was obviously all caused by Zuo Xiyan.
Judging from their actions that day in Yusheng Pavilion and their remarks today, they regarded themselves as imaginary enemies.
She didn't expect that this could attract hatred to herself. It seemed that the jealousy of a woman she had a crush on couldn't be underestimated.
Before she could speak, the girl who was still wearing the pink dress spoke again.
"Why, what kind of young master do you want to meet today? Why don't you look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue you have!" The girl in pink clothes did not hide the disgust on her face, holding her chin high, as if this could show her nobility, and Disdain for the other person.
"Qiulan, don't say that. She might not even be able to afford a mirror. Otherwise, how could she be so poor and have no self-awareness? How could we, those of high status, like her?"
Xie Fenfen, the companion next to the pink-clothed girl Zhao Qiulan, covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed. She didn't look as arrogant and arrogant as Zhao Qiulan, but the malice in her words was not reduced at all.
"Fenfen is right. I will do a good deed today and reward you with a few coins to buy a mirror and take a good look at yourself, so that you will not know your identity and pester Mr. Zuo all day long!"
Zhao Qiulan said, taking a few copper coins from the hand of the maid beside her, with a sarcastic smile on her face, she raised her hand and threw it at Xia Luotong!
Xia Luotong's eyes turned cold, and he turned slightly before the coins fell on him, causing the coins to miss and fall straight to the ground.
Glancing at the copper coins on the ground, she stepped on them without hesitation. Afterwards, she twirled them, raised her face and looked at the two people opposite her, slightly curling her lips, revealing a faint and disdainful smile.
Although Xia Luotong never spoke, such contemptuous behavior was obviously a response to them.
Zhao Qiulan and Xie Fenfen did not expect that the other party, who looked like just a commoner woman, would dare to resist them like this, and their expressions dropped on the spot.
"Bold untouchable! This girl is kind enough to reward you with money, but you dare to be so ignorant!" Zhao Qiulan immediately scolded and pointed at Xia Luotong, her face full of anger, feeling that her dignity had been violated.
"Do you know the consequences of defying the daughter of a court official?" The smile on Xie Fenfen's face also disappeared, and she stared at Xia Luotong with a threatening tone and said.
"I don't know the consequences. But since the two girls are the family members of the imperial officials, they should be more aware of the fact that today's saint loves the people like his own children, right? I don't know if you two call us common people untouchables. What do you mean by yourself? Or what do the elders of your family think?" Xia Luotong spoke quietly with a calm face. His voice was neither loud nor quiet, but just enough for the surrounding people to hear.
Discussions broke out for a while, and many people pointed at Zhao Qiulan and Xie Fenfen. The dissatisfaction and indignation in their words were obvious.
As soon as Zhao Qiulan said "untouchable", the people who were watching showed their displeasure. They originally saw a few girls fighting in the street, but they all came to watch with the intention of watching the excitement and did not say anything to help which side.
But when he saw that the girl in luxurious clothes actually started to scold them, the common people, he immediately became unhappy. When he heard the words of the girl in plain clothes, he suddenly felt that they made sense.
In order to show off his image of being diligent and caring for the people, the current emperor often talks about loving the people. However, this is just the daughter of a minister. She dared to blurt out the word "untouchable" in the street, which immediately caused public outrage.
The comments among the people watching became louder and louder. Zhao Qiulan and Xie Fenfen obviously did not expect that the seemingly thin girl opposite them could inflame the emotions of the people watching with just one sentence, and they turned red with anger on the spot.
"Don't deliberately misunderstand me! I'm just talking about you! I didn't expect you, a woman, to be so vicious and want to slander me at this time!" Zhao Qiulan was so angry that the comments from the people watching were even more disturbing. She felt extremely embarrassed, wondering when she, the daughter of a dignified court minister, had ever suffered such humiliation!
"Why did you misunderstand you? I don't know you at all. Just because I don't accept your insult, and I am an ordinary citizen, and you call me a pariah, then next time it will be rejected by any ordinary citizen like me. If you accept your insult, do you also want to call them untouchables?" Xia Luotong replied coldly.
Zhao Qiulan scolded angrily: "I am very merciful and willing to reward such a shameless person like you is already promoting you! Don't..."
"Whose girl is this? Why is she so uneducated?" Some people couldn't help shouting.
"That's right! In such a public place, all he talks and talks is to insult others, which is worse than girls from ordinary families like us!" A woman onlookers looked at the girl in gorgeous clothes with disgust on her face.
The buzz around them was getting louder and louder. If Xie Fenfen hadn't stopped them, Zhao Qiulan would have scolded them all.
"This girl's domineering attitude is really eye-opening to me, and she has the habit of throwing money at people at every turn. I think your father must have a high official position and a rich family, so that you can develop this habit of throwing money at people." Are you used to it?" Xia Luotong said loudly, and everyone's attention was quickly transferred to a new place.
"Hmph! Are you worthy of asking about my father's official position? What does his family background have to do with you? Anyway, it is unimaginable for a poor person like you! If you are sensible, kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake. Maybe I can forgive you! otherwise……"
Zhao Qiulan was talking proudly when her sleeve was suddenly pulled by Xie Fenfen beside her. Seeing the latter winking at her, and not knowing why, the people around her started talking louder and louder.
"If this girl's family behaves like this, her father must not be a good official!"
"That's right! Looking at her attitude towards us, we know what her parents' attitude is! Whose lady is this?"
"Look at how proud she is. Could her father be a corrupt official? Otherwise, how could he develop the habit of throwing money at people and not taking money seriously?"
The discussions among the onlookers became louder and louder, and gradually became more and more confusing. All kinds of speculations and rumors followed one after another, until Zhao Qiulan and Xie Fenfen's eyes burned with anger, and the handkerchiefs in their hands were all wet. It's going to tear apart.
"You bitch! I will tear your mouth apart today!" Zhao Qiulan's temper was so hot that she couldn't help but rush towards Xia Luotong, raising her hand and pushing her to stagger!
Just as Xia Luotong was about to stand firm, Xie Fenfen followed and pushed her again!
"Stop! As the daughter of a court official, she actually beats people in the street. Do you really think that the laws of Zhou Dynasty do not exist?"
Suddenly, a stern male voice came from behind Xia Luotong. The volume was not loud but enough for everyone to hear clearly.
Xia Luotong was stunned when he heard the voice, and immediately recognized the identity of the person. Then his body that fell backward was supported by a pair of strong and warm hands.
What a coincidence, it was Zuo Xiyan again!
