Then, countless pairs of eyes stared at the lion, watching it stretch its head toward the street, blinking smartly and looking around, then moving over and giving the hydrangea in its mouth to a little girl on the street.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her. Jiang Yue was also caught off guard that the lion dancer would actually throw the hydrangea to her.

The dancing lion held a hydrangea in its mouth, only two feet away from her, and a familiar face appeared in its big mouth.

Zhai Qingya smiled at her like a demon, revealing a row of neat teeth.

"Come on." Zhai Qingya threw the hydrangea and it fell steadily into Jiang Yue's arms.

Jiang Yue suddenly became so nervous that her breathing became rapid. Her soul was not that of a little girl. Zhai Qingya was confessing his love, how could she not see it?

Jiang Xue was so excited that she almost jumped up.

In the eyes of the crowd, the girl who received the embroidered ball from the lion dance was wearing ordinary clothes, with her black hair simply tied up behind her head and only an ordinary hairpin on her head. But her eyebrows and eyes were gentle and smiling, her face was beautiful and moving, and the lights on the street illuminated her clear and bright eyes. This turned out to be a very beautiful girl!

The lion dance gave her the hydrangea and they were all speechless.

"You are so lucky, girl. This year will be smooth sailing. Find a good husband!"

Jiang Ming was also laughing happily in the distance. Lord Zhai was young and promising, with a handsome appearance, and was worthy of his eldest sister.

After the lion dance, the empty streets were instantly filled with spectators from both sides. Jiang Yue was pulled by Jiang Xue to guess lantern riddles.

Unlike Jiang Xue who was enthusiastic, Jiang Yue seemed a little careless.

Jiang Ming came over quickly. Jiang Yue saw him staring at the hydrangea in her arms with a smile on his face. She thought about how he had gone to the county town many times before and must have known about Zhai Qingya's plan to perform the lion dance. She didn't expect that her elder brother actually helped Zhai Qingya hide it from her.

But she was not a little girl. After a brief throbbing, her heart had already calmed down. Now was not the time to speak, but her attitude had to be made clear in time. So, Jiang Yue stuffed the hydrangea in her arms to Jiang Ming, staring at him and said, "Brother, did you know this a long time ago?"

Jiang Ming was stunned. His elder sister was angry.

Some doubts asked: "Big sister, isn't it good for Lord Zhai to give you a hydrangea?"

Jiang Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother, I'm not saying that Lord Zhai is bad, it's that you shouldn't have kept it from me."

"Sister, Master Zhai is a very good person, young and promising, good-looking, and good to you and our family. I just, just...sister deserves everyone to treat her well."

"Forget it. I can't tell you clearly. You can't hide it from me in the future."

Although she called Jiang Ming brother, he was still a half-grown child. How much could he understand between men and women? Besides, it was just a hydrangea, which didn't mean anything. She was just overthinking.

Jiang Ming was holding the hydrangea with a bewildered look on his face. Lord Zhai had clearly said that this was a surprise for his eldest sister, so why did it feel a bit like a shock? He would listen to his eldest sister from now on.

"Let's go back."

The four siblings followed the crowd back to the teahouse and called Jiang Youshan to walk back to the inn together.

The next morning, a family of five was having breakfast downstairs when a group of servants suddenly broke in. The servants were all fierce and arrogant, and they surrounded them and drove away other guests in the lobby.

This is looking for trouble.

Jiang Yue winked at the children, implying that they should seize the opportunity to fight that had come to them. The children rubbed their hands and nodded at her.

Suddenly, a female voice came from the door: "What a shameless country girl, who dares to covet Lord Zhai?"

Shen Jia started to send people to look for Jiang Yue the last time he saw her having dinner with Lord Zhai. There was no such person as Jiang Yue in the prominent families of Muchuan. He secretly decided that it was a village woman who seduced Lord Zhai. When he found her, he would definitely teach her a lesson.

Last night on the street, she followed the lion dance. Others didn't know, but she knew that one of the two lions was Lord Zhai. She imagined that Lord Zhai had snatched the hydrangea and gave it to her.

But what did she see? Lord Zhai actually gave the hydrangea to that country woman! Her fantasy was shattered, she couldn't stand it, and she would never accept that she was not as good as a country woman? This time, she must be caught and taught her a lesson!

Jiang Yue looked in the direction of the voice. She was dressed in fine clothes and had a slim figure, but she looked domineering. It was Shen Jia, the third daughter of County Magistrate Shen. She said, "Who did I think it was? How come you didn't freeze to death while waiting for Lord Zhai in the snow that day? What a pity."

Shen Jia was furious. He turned around and shouted to the servant: "Why don't you catch this bitch for me? I want to slap her hard in the face!"

"Clatter, crash, crash."

Seeing that there was only one adult and four children, the servants had already let down their guard. Several servants surrounded Jiang Youshan, preventing him from moving, while the remaining servants reached out to grab Jiang Yue.

"Bang bang bang-"

Jiang Yue showed no mercy to the approaching servants, knocking one down with one punch. These servants had never seen such a scene before, and they were all scared when they saw Jiang Yue knocking down several of them in a row.

Jiang Ming took advantage of the situation, rushed to the servant who was surrounding his father, and punched him in the face. The servant immediately collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.

Jiang Xue and Jiang Lei were not idle either. They were too small to reach the man's head, so they joined forces to attack the servants' lower body. The servants were in a panic and were knocked down by a sweeping kick. They became human cushions for the two men and were beaten for a while.

The servants were defeated and screamed, but they refused to give in. They fell down and stood up again. In just a short while, the dozen servants were beaten by Jiang Yue's four brothers and sisters and they dared not stand up again.

Jiang Yue nodded and praised: "Not bad, this is your first actual combat, and you are quite measured in your actions!"

Jiang Youshan watched helplessly as several servants in front of him were knocked down by his own children. His eyes widened in surprise. He simply couldn't believe it. Are these still his children? How come they are all so powerful?

Shen Jia was so frightened that he stepped back tremblingly.

How could Jiang Yue let her leave? She just grabbed her clothes and brought her to her.

Jiang Yue's eyes were as stern as a knife, and she said word by word, "Listen, put away your dirty thoughts from now on. You want to teach me a lesson and make me stay away from Lord Zhai? Not to mention that there is nothing between Lord Zhai and me, even if there is something, it's none of your business. If you have the ability, chase him yourself? If you don't have the ability, retreat back to your home! Do you believe that I will make you disappear from the earth immediately?"

Shen Jia's eyes were filled with fear as he said, "How dare you! My father, my father is the county magistrate..."

Jiang Yue sneered: "What do you think your father would do if he knew that you brought a servant to beat up Lord Zhai's sweetheart? Let me guess, will your father take you to Lord Zhai for accountability, or will he force you to apologize? Tsk tsk, the rank of the county magistrate is higher than that of the county chancellor, right?"

Isn't it just taking advantage of her power to bully others? She can do that too.

Shen Jia was full of disbelief: "You are talking nonsense, how could Lord Zhai be interested in a vulgar village woman like you!"

"Snapped--"

Jiang Yue slapped her in the face and said coldly, "Do you think everyone is like you? You look like a human, but your stomach is full of dirty maggots."

Shen Jia was beaten so hard that tears welled up in his eyes. He clenched his handkerchief tightly and could not utter a word.
