After returning to her mansion, Du Suxi continued to live a peaceful life. At least in the eyes of others, she lived a very peaceful and peaceful life.
However, no one in the house, from the housekeeper to a third-class maid, dared to look down upon her anymore. Instead, every time they saw her, they changed their previous contempt and became respectful and polite. Du Suxi Seeing this, I sighed secretly in my heart. It is indeed easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to send charcoal when the time is right. She was like this in the past, but none of these people took her seriously. Now she is just showing off her skills, and these people are shocked.
Facing this change, Du Suxi accepted it with peace of mind, but never really believed in them. She still went her own way and obtained the reactions and latest news from the major families through Shen Mu's manpower.
Although Shen Mu couldn't rely on him, his help in such trivial matters could not be added, and even Du Suxi could only rely on him.
As she expected, those people were really against her. They even signed a letter requesting that she be allowed to participate in the war. Since the founding of Xiaoyao Valley more than 300 years ago, no one has ever asked major families to work together to request a war for her. Du Suxi can be said to be the first person to do so. However, The aura of this number one person has ulterior motives, but this is simply insignificant to Du Suxi, she doesn't care at all.
She wished that things would get bigger and bigger, so she openly provoked some people in a carriage, acting unreasonably and arrogantly. In just a few days, she became the target of everyone in Xiaoyao Valley. A kind of person, listening to outsiders slandering and cursing him, Du Suxi smiled and listened calmly.
She wasn't even angry at all. Seeing her like this, the old housekeeper thought that this woman was crazy. He comforted and encouraged her, and after a lot of hard work, he suddenly realized that Du Suxi was really He didn't care at all, and he admired Du Suxi's broad-mindedness even more.
However, if he knew that Du Suxi wanted everyone in Xiaoyao Valley to hate her, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood, right? Du Suxi has been a human being for two generations, and she is a lonely soul in the 21st century. After experiencing the ups and downs of Moshang Xiangfang, her ability to deal with the pressure of public opinion has reached its peak.
She also knows very well that the double-edged sword of public opinion, when used well, is more powerful than being the best in the world. It can kill without blood and harm without leaving traces. It makes people completely helpless.
Even though the Xiaoyao Valley Master was determined and was forced by such strong pressure, Du Suxi did not believe that he would not waver or fail to hold on!
As long as she retreats even a little bit, her victory will be just around the corner.
This is a war without gunpowder, but it is no less brutal than any other war. Once the two sides compete, they must fight for a winner.
Basically, things were exactly as Du Suxi expected.
In the past few days, the owner of Xiaoyao Valley has been facing a large number of visiting aristocratic families. He is extremely busy, but he can't find an effective way to stop them. He can stop one or two aristocratic families, and some use Xiaoyao Valley to stop them. The Lord's rights have forced ten or eight aristocratic families to shut up, but what if these people unite? What about twenty? What about thirty? What should he do
All of this was said exactly by Du Suxi.
Facing the crowds of people attacking Jin Yan, he simply had no ability to suppress this matter. However, within a few days, the originally handsome man began to look haggard. News came that the Valley Master was not thinking about food and drink and could not sleep at night because of this matter. Even so, public opinion did not let him off in the slightest. Still pressing hard, it seems that in the eyes of these aristocratic families, looking at the situation like this is actually invisible.
It proved their ability, their majesty, and their rights!
Listening to these words, Du Suxi showed a big smile.
All this finally made her wait.
Instructing his servants to prepare horses, Du Suxi put on men's robes, and with a heroic appearance, under the doubts of the old housekeeper and the others, he mounted the horse and galloped all the way to the highest city wall. With a hook on the rope, his figure was like Like a ghost, he leaned on the city wall a few times and took a few breaths to stand firmly on the tall city wall, quietly leaning down and looking down.
In the past few months, almost no one knew about Du Suxi. When she appeared, she naturally attracted the attention of thousands of people. All pedestrians stopped walking and stood under the city wall, pointing at her. Point and point.
"Sir, do you want me to go up and bring her down?" Xifeng looked at Du Suxi who was standing at the top and asked Shen Mu hesitantly.
Shen Mu mingled among the crowd, looking at the heroic figure with a complicated expression. After a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head, as if mumbling to himself, in a low voice. "No, maybe she is right."
Xifeng was startled, but didn't say anything. He was still guarding Shen Mu quietly, accompanying Shen Mu as he gazed at the graceful figure floating in the wind.
Seeing the crowd gathering more and more, Du Suxi smiled seductively, with a hint of joking at the corner of her mouth. She looked at the crowd and spoke in a loud and clear voice.
"Perhaps you don't know me, but I am the adopted daughter of the Valley Master, Du Suxi."
As soon as these words came out, the discussion under the city wall became louder and louder, but Du Suxi didn't care at all, watching everyone's expressions, and continued to speak.
"I heard that you all think that I am just a fragile woman? Did you use unfair means to get the Valley Master to recognize me as his daughter?"
No one around him acknowledged it, but the disdain in his eyes was real. Du Suxi looked at those disdainful eyes, but smiled indifferently, and continued to speak.
"You don't have to talk about me. I don't take any of you seriously at all. In front of me, you are the same as idiots."
As soon as the words fell, it was like a depth bomb was thrown into the deep sea. It exploded silently and burst into undercurrents. Many people clamored to go up and teach Du Suxi a lesson. Yellow-haired girl.
Seeing the excited people like this, Du Suxi put on a nonchalant smile on her lips and continued to speak while watching the people.
"I am the daughter of the Valley Master. If you people use despicable means to hurt me so that I can't make a name for myself on the battlefield, your sin will be huge. You must think about it."
Her tone was arrogant and contemptuous, and her demeanor was contemptuous and direct. She looked down on such a group of people at all. This description immediately aroused public outrage.
A young man wearing a black shirt pointed at Du Suxi, gritted his teeth, and spoke loudly.
"You woman, I originally admired your courage, but I didn't expect you to be so virtuous. Even if I take action against you, it would be an insult to my identity. It's ridiculous that you still think so highly of yourself because of what you are. This thing is really ridiculous! Poor!"
As soon as he said this first, everyone agreed with him one after another. What's more, they spat out a mouthful of phlegm in disdain to express their contempt. For a while, no matter they were brave men or ordinary farm workers, one by one, They were all like saviors, showing strong disdain for Du Suxi.
Dusu
Xi kept standing there, looking at these people calmly, as if their actions had no interference at all to her, they were just a bunch of clowns.
This lazy attitude angered everyone even more. Just when everyone was filled with indignation and prepared to give Du Suxi some color, Du Suxi suddenly spoke, looked down at everyone, raised his brows, and said disdainfully.
"Everyone hates me so much? Have you ever heard about my request to be a general?" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of excitement among the crowd. They were all talking about Du Suxi's overestimating his ability. , even showing a look of gloating over misfortune, as if he wished Du Suxi had died on the battlefield.
Amidst everyone's ridicule, Du Suxi spoke indifferently. "I know that each of you hopes that I will die on the battlefield, but one day, what will happen if I come back victorious? What should you do?"
Her voice was not loud, but it had a strange penetrating power, silently invading everyone's eardrums, and her words could be heard clearly.
Everyone was startled. After a moment of silence, there was even louder laughter.
Everyone was laughing at Du Suxi's overestimation of his capabilities. In their opinion, Du Suxi was so immature that he had never even read a military book before, yet he dared to mention the matter of returning from victory. Did he think that this was a military expedition? , is it for children to play house? Is it something that you can win if you want to? Really naive, extremely naive!
The sarcasm in everyone's eyes became even stronger. In their eyes, Du Suxi was already the embodiment of stupidity, clumsiness, arrogance, and arrogance. All derogatory words seemed to be easily applied to Du Suxi. Su Xi's body. This woman is really ridiculous.
He Liankuang stood in the crowd, looking at the girl who was reviled by millions of people but was still calm and composed. Her brows were furrowed, her lips were pressed into a tight line, and her fists were clenched secretly under her body, but what? I couldn't do anything, so I could only watch quietly.
He had already guessed Du Suxi's plan, and even admired her decisive decision-making!
Everyone was afraid that public opinion would catch up with them and ruin their reputation, but this woman did the opposite. Although she was extremely smart, she showed an arrogant, domineering and unreasonable appearance in front of everyone, which aroused them. She was so angry that she asked them to jointly submit a letter and let her go to march and fight. How could anyone think that this was just a plan on her part? Some are so small that they are no longer worth mentioning.
When everyone was talking about it, Du Suxi suddenly laughed out loud, looked at the people talking about it below, and said loudly.
"I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me! This is my explanation to Xiaoyao Valley!"
Buzz! There seemed to be an invisible big hand grabbing everyone's throats. For a moment, everyone closed their mouths and looked at Du Suxi with blank expressions.
I can't believe that such heroic words were spoken by a woman like Du Suxi.
So domineering, so arrogant, he has the air of a hero in troubled times. If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, they would have thought that this man must be a heroic man. However, what they saw in front of them truly told them that the person who said this was just a weakling. little woman.
A woman can be so generous and magnanimous. Even if she is arrogant and arrogant, she has extenuating circumstances. In the minds of a few people, an incredible idea even comes up.
Perhaps, this woman can really come back victorious.
