As soon as these words were spoken, the lotus courtyard suddenly became quiet for a moment.

Then the maidservant following behind Princess Anyang said loudly: "Our girl is Princess Anyang. How dare you disrespect our princess?"

When these words were spoken, some people secretly curled their lips, while others showed disdain.

But everyone still stood up and bowed to Anyang County Lady: "County Lady."

Princess Anyang was a princess appointed by the current emperor. She had a title and a rank, and she was a second-rank official. Although she was not as important as a second-rank official, she was still a first-class noble among the female relatives.

Although the crowd was not necessarily afraid of the county lady, the rules were there and they still had to pay their respects to her.

Princess Anyang glanced at the crowd frivolously, and without asking anyone to stand up, she just said with disdain, "I thought the young ladies in the capital were all well-educated, dignified and virtuous, but I didn't expect that they were a bunch of gossipers who like to talk behind people's backs. Tsk tsk, it's really disappointing."

As he said that, he turned around, took Yun Shu's hand, and said to everyone, "Compared to you, I think the taciturn fifth young lady of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion is more adorable."

The moment Anyang County Lady grabbed Yun Shu's hand, she was so frightened that she froze. When Anyang County Lady dragged her towards the flower hall, she said in panic, "I, I still need to go to the door to meet someone."

She acted as if the courtyard gate was where she belonged, which made Princess Anyang couldn't help laughing.

Princess Anyang had a very dignified and bright appearance, and with her luxurious attire, when she smiled, her whole body seemed to be glowing, giving a feeling of being in high spirits.

Yun Shu was stunned for a moment, her eyes full of envy and yearning.

"All right, tell your maid to wait at the door. Take me around this courtyard. I've just been to my aunt's house since I came to the capital. I haven't been to other people's houses as a guest. Yours is the first one I've been to."

Then, he took Yun Shu's hand again and said, "Take me for a walk."

Yun Shu was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She looked at Princess Anyang helplessly, then turned back to look at Eryue and Chunyu.

Er Yue and Chun Yu were naturally happy to see this happen, so they looked at each other, smiled and bowed, saying, "Young lady, please accompany the county lady to stroll around the courtyard, and we will go to the door to greet the guests. If there are any very important guests, we will come to find you."

"Slaves, please leave."

Having said that, the two bowed and left.

Looking at the two people walking away, Yun Shu was confused for a moment. She looked at the direction they left with a panicked and anxious look, as if she wanted to catch up with them or call them back, which once again deeply pleased the Princess of Anyang County.

The Princess of Anyang looked at Yun Shu with great interest: "Are you afraid of me?"

Yun Shu shrank back, nodded subconsciously, and then shook her head repeatedly in panic, "No, I'm not afraid."

He said he was not afraid, but he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Aren't you afraid?" Princess Anyang smiled and pondered for a while, then suddenly asked, "So, you are stuttering?"

Yun Shu was really frightened this time. She shook her head in panic and retorted, "No, no, I'm not a stutterer."

The tone of his voice was anxious and a little fierce.

Nanny Li once said that if a woman was reported to have any illness, it would affect her marriage.

She must not develop a reputation as a stutterer!

"Then why do you always speak incoherently?" Princess Anyang continued to tease.

"I..." Yun Shu was speechless.

Seeing that the fifth young lady of Yunshu Shun'an Marquis's mansion was about to cry because of her own county lady's teasing, the personal maid Ruhua hurriedly tried to dissuade her, "County lady, please stop teasing the fifth young lady. Can't you be more dignified when we meet for the first time? When you came here, Nanny Zhou told you to be more restrained."

Princess Anyang glared at Ruhua in reproach, "I knew I shouldn't have brought you here. You're the only one who can talk the most about music, chess, calligraphy and painting!"

Although she was complaining, she didn't seem angry at all, and of course, she didn't seem to want to hold back. The more someone told her not to do something, the more she liked to do the opposite.

Even when Ruhua didn't say anything, she thought the Fifth Miss had been teased enough. But as soon as Ruhua started talking, she wanted to tease the Fifth Miss again.

His eyes rolled, he took Yun Shu's arm, stepped forward and asked, "Did you hear what those people said just now? Are you really not engaged yet? Do you really have a dowry of 10,000 taels? What kind of man do you like? Do you want me to introduce one to you?"

Yun Shu stared at Princess Anyang in amazement, unable to utter a word.

How could there be such a bold girl in this world? Can you say such things casually?

What do you mean by introduce her to someone? It sounds like she can decide on her own when it comes to marriage.

"Why are you so surprised?" Princess Anyang said nonchalantly, "I came to the capital to find my fiancé. I want to ask him why he wants to break off the engagement with me."

After hearing this, Yun Shu was dumbfounded and looked around quickly, looking nervous as if she was afraid of being heard.

Ruhua held her forehead with her hand, and with a depressed look, she pulled her own county lady and said, "County lady, please don't tell anyone anything. This is not a good thing. What if someone hears it?"

"What are you afraid of? This is the truth! I came to the capital just to find Wu..."

Before Princess Anyang could finish her words, Ruhua, who had been unable to bear it any longer, put her hand over her mouth and said, "My little ancestor, please keep your mouth shut. If this matter of yours gets out, will I still be alive? Madam Zhou will skin me alive!"

Princess Anyang rolled her eyes, pushed Ruhua's hand away, and snorted, "Alright, I won't say anything."

Then he glared at Ruhua again, "Who told you to cover my mouth? That's rude!"

Seeing the interaction between the master and servant, Yun Shu couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, she felt that the Princess of Anyang was not scary at all, and was even a little cute.

She looks bright and flamboyant, and seems like someone who is not easy to mess with. But in fact, she is very good at speaking up for justice and defending the weak. She likes to tease people and even has a lot of fun with her personal maid. She is obviously a very unruly person, but she still accuses others of being unruly.

This is clearly a girl who appears tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

At this moment, a sharp and sarcastic voice came from not far away: "As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. The maid is unruly, isn't it because the master didn't teach her well?"

The three of them turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a gentle woman in a goose yellow jacket and skirt, with elegant makeup, walking towards the lake with three or four girls.

The woman walking in front was about the same age as Anyang County Princess, about fourteen or fifteen years old. However, she looked like the complete opposite of Anyang County Princess.

One is bright, the other is elegant. One is flamboyant, the other is gentle.

If the Princess of Anyang County is a magnificent peony, then the visitor is a refreshing and unworldly orchid in the valley.
