Girls from noble families like them are different from girls from wealthy and noble families. Girls from wealthy and noble families don't pay much attention to morality, but they have to keep consistent with the reputation of their fathers, brothers and families.
Just like her father, who once used a servant's back to support his feet when getting off a carriage, was impeached by the censor, saying that he had forgotten his duty and was unkind to others.
The words of the girl in front of her today were a slap in her face, and it was done from both sides.
She pursed her lips, looked at the person in front of her with resentment, and asked in a cold voice: "Where did this dog come from? It's barking in front of people!"
At this point, the other girls in the Xie family already felt that something was wrong, and they all spoke out to dissuade Xu Huixian, hoping to calm things down and get her to leave quickly. However, Xu Huixian refused, as she had never suffered such a great injustice before.
Thanks to the upcoming birth of the Empress Dowager, jewelry and clothing stores in the capital have been particularly popular recently. So now that they have caused such an unpleasant incident, the area is already crowded with onlookers, including many acquaintances.
If Wang Yuerong was servile and felt ashamed of herself, then it would be fine if Xu Huixian just vented her anger, and she didn't want to fight to the death with Wang Yuerong. But she was not ashamed but proud of it, neither humble nor arrogant, as if she was not affected by the cancellation of the engagement at all.
Why did she still flaunt herself everywhere like a peacock with its tail spread out after being rejected twice? Where in the world could there be such a shameless woman!
Even the lackey beside her is particularly disgusting.
Unable to pull her, the girls from the Xie family panicked and explained to her in a low voice: "This is the fourth daughter of the Yongding Earl's Mansion..."
Oh my God, the eldest daughter of the Xie family is particularly weak-kneed. She is a good friend of Tian Rui. She had met Su Yao when she was a guest at the Wang family. The fourth daughter Su's words were so sharp that it was hard to resist. Moreover, she was not a person who could tolerate others. If she said she would slap you in the face, she would do so even if the king of heaven was present.
She didn't want to lose face in public.
So she looked at Xu Huixian suggestively, and at the same time felt a little resentful in her heart. To be honest, what her grandmother said was not wrong. Originally, the family had arranged a good marriage for Mu Jun. Even if he didn't like her, he should have thought more about the family. Even if he really wanted to cancel the engagement, there were many ways to do it, but he was secretly hooking up with others, which was really inferior.
It was the Xie family's fault in itself. Grandmother went to the Wang family in person to apologize. Miss Xie really didn't think there was anything that needed anyone to step up for her.
Now, the Xie family’s scandals are bound to be brought out again for everyone to comment on.
She looked angrily at Xie Mujun's sister, Miss Xie Qi.
Miss Xie Qi pretended not to see it, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, who was it? It turned out to be the fourth daughter of the Yongding Marquis's Mansion. I heard that she had been wandering outside for more than ten years and was only recently found."
Xu Huixian had heard of Su Yao's name before. She was moved, and thinking of her mother's expression when she mentioned this name, she spoke even more without thinking: "No wonder, growing up in the countryside, what rules can there be?"
Wang Yuerong could no longer bear it and was about to take action. She had finally endured enough of the humiliation. After all, everyone knew that she had broken off the engagement twice. What else did she have to be afraid of? At most, her reputation would be even worse. Who was afraid of who
Su Yao suddenly stepped up a step coldly, faced Xu Huixian, and asked sternly: "What does Miss Xu mean?!"
Xu Huixian sneered disdainfully: "That's what you meant. You said you're from the countryside and you're not presentable. What? Was I wrong? You're not presentable?"
"Then may I ask, counting back three generations, what did your great-grandfather do? What did your grandfather do before he graduated?" Su Yao was tired of these people always bringing up the fact that she grew up in the common people, as if it was some kind of insignificant handle. She righteously interrupted Xu Huixian who was about to speak, raised her voice, and said almost deafeningly: "Let me tell you, Miss Xu, even with your grandfather, Lord Xu, when he was your age, he was still worried day and night about the few taels of silver for the imperial examination, and he also studied hard for his future! Wasn't he born in the countryside? Didn't your great-grandfather dig in the fields to make a living and struggle to support his family?! Is he also lowly, and your grandfather is also lowly?!"
Oh my God! Miss Xie cried out in her heart. She knew that she couldn't offend Miss Su Si. She had seen how Miss Su Si spoke. She was used to changing the concept and putting a big hat on you.
Xu Huixian is simply courting death.
Xu Huixian was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Su Yao who was making such a strong argument, and she wanted to pounce on her and tear her mouth apart! How could she be so good at making up stories!
I don't know if someone shouted "good", but there was suddenly a burst of laughter and voices of agreement from the side. Miss Xie wanted to cover her face and run away, but the matter was not over yet.
Su Yao glanced at them again, and said solemnly, "Students have studied hard for many years to stand in the court. People like you who are born noble are a minority. According to what you said, why does the court still need to hold imperial examinations to recruit scholars? Are all the adults standing in the court now from the rich and powerful? Or do the Imperial College, Hedong Academy, and all the academies in the world no longer accept people from the countryside?! Miss Xu, you should be careful with your words. Do you look down on me, or do you look down on ordinary people in the world?!"
My god! The shopkeeper next to him was completely dumbfounded. He looked at the fourth girl Su in front of him. The fourth girl Su was really a blockbuster!
There was silence in the store for a moment, and then a young man in cloth clothes praised the product enthusiastically.
After he started the conversation, even the young scholars gathered in the teahouse next door came over unconsciously. After hearing what Su Yao said, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
Even Miss Xie Qi was a little panicked by the situation. She suppressed her fear and said in a cowardly way, "Don't put the blame on others! How could we have such intention?!"
The word "we" made Miss Xie want to go up and shake her head to see what was inside.
Idiot! Idiot!
It was clearly Xu Huixian who had the dispute with Su Yao, and now it was also Xu Huixian who had angered the public. In fact, they should just avoid suspicion and not express any opinions on the matter.
But Xie Qi was stupid enough to stand with Xu Huixian. Wasn't it because he thought he hadn't lost enough face and the incident wasn't a big enough incident? !
Sure enough, Miss Xie was horrified to see Su Yao's mouth curled up in a mocking arc.
Then Su Yao said, "If you don't mean that, why do you keep bringing up the fact that I was raised in the countryside?"
