After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 95

Seeing that everyone agreed, Luo Shuiyao gently waved to the old woman serving in the courtyard.

After a brief pause, she turned her head and cast her gaze towards Su Yu'an, then slowly spoke, "Miss Su, could you have your maid accompany this nanny? Although we're all well-educated and well-mannered, we can't guarantee anything will go wrong. Let them keep an eye on each other to prevent anyone from doing anything inappropriate."

Su Yu'an was originally leisurely admiring the scenery in the courtyard. When she heard Luo Shuiyao's words, she raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of interest flashed in her smart eyes, and she replied crisply, "Of course."

As the nanny and the maid left with the papers with poems written on them, it was as if a small stone had been thrown into the courtyard, causing ripples to appear.

The noble ladies gathered together, talking to each other in groups of three or two. For a while, the sound of whispers echoed in the courtyard.

Luo Shuiyao listened to their chatter, but the voices were too low to make out anything. She knew she wasn't liked by them, so she didn't approach them.

Lu Zhaozhao approached her and said in a pretentious manner, "I didn't know that a country girl like you, Sister Yao, could understand poetry."

Luo Shuiyao turned sideways to avoid her, feeling goose bumps all over her body. She didn't bother to pay attention to the meaning of her words and said lightly: "There are many things you don't know."

Lu Zhaozhao was choked by her and her voice turned cold: "Sister Yao is so ignorant, it's really annoying."

Only then did Luo Shuiyao turn her gaze towards her, staring at Lu Zhaozhao expressionlessly.

Seeing her like this, Lu Zhaozhao thought he had finally angered her. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw her lips suddenly curl up, and she said with a forced smile: "There are many people who hate me, who do you think you are?"

"What?" Lu Zhaozhao suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

She took a small step forward. "What did you just say?"

Luo Shuiyao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and stared into Lu Zhaozhao's eyes without blinking. She said slowly, "I told you there are so many people who hate me. Who do you think you are? If you want to earn the right to hate me in advance, that's fine. Please pay me two hundred taels of silver first."

As she spoke, Luo Shuiyao spread out her hands towards Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao was stunned for a long time before the string in her mind finally turned around. She raised her voice and angrily said to Luo Shuiyao, "Are you crazy about money? Otherwise, why would you say such ridiculous things?"

The sound immediately drowned out the whispers in the yard.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at her.

Luo Shuiyao stared at her with a smile on her face. Seeing this, Lu Zhaozhao felt nervous. Oh no, she had been fooled by this village girl.

Turning around, she found that everyone was looking at her. She quickly put away the anger on her face, forced a gentle smile and said, "Sisters, please don't blame me. I was just talking to Sister Yao and my voice was a little loud. You don't have to worry about us."

Seeing her like this, the noble ladies were filled with admiration. How could this woman be so shameless? Did she think they were fools? Couldn't they hear the anger in her tone just now?

However, these noble ladies were all very proud and naturally would not point it out to her, so they all smiled and nodded, echoing, "Nothing."

Then they each continued what they had not finished saying before.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Lu Zhaozhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to Luo Shuiyao.

Luo Shuiyao's expression remained calm. She couldn't help but lower her voice, a hint of coldness seeping through her teeth: "Luo Shuiyao, you're just a country girl. How dare you go against me? Don't you think that if you offend me, I will make you wish you were dead!"

On the other hand, Luo Shuiyao seemed not to have heard these harsh words, and continued to eat the snack in her hand slowly.

After a while, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Zhaozhao lightly, swallowed the last piece of dessert in his hand, and said perfunctorily, without any sincerity: "I'm so scared!"

Lu Zhaozhao was about to open her mouth to continue lashing out at him, but Luo Shuiyao spoke first. She clapped her hands, narrowed her eyes, looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "But what can I do? I only have this one worthless life. Don't forget, even rabbits bite when they're angry!"

After saying that, he winked at Lu Zhaozhao mischievously, looking like a cunning little fox.

Lu Zhaozhao felt as if something was choking her chest, and her breath felt stuck there, unable to go up or down.

She was worried that she would hear something infuriating from this person, and she still had to consider her own image, so she didn't dare say anything more.

She took a few steps back, glared at Luo Shuiyao fiercely, and sweared in her heart: Country girl, today is the day when you will be ruined, just wait and see.

Luo Shuiyao received the deep meaning in her eyes and gave her a look that said "Okay, I'll wait."

Lu Zhaozhao snorted coldly, then ignored Luo Shuiyao and walked towards the other noble ladies.

In the courtyard across from the lake, the male guests had already arrived. They ate their food while chatting animatedly, sharing their own interesting experiences. Aside from some of them seeming a bit reserved due to their concerns about Ye Yunzhou, the overall atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After Ye Yi returned to the courtyard, he reported to Ye Yunzhou that he had delivered the items to Miss Luo without any errors. Ye Yunzhou nodded, sent Ye Yi off to have fun with the others, and then left him alone.

Ye Yi walked out of the yard and looked around. He found that Yi Xiaowei and Chu Tianhao were nowhere to be seen. However, he did not think much about it. He just thought that the two of them went to the toilet or hid in some corner to watch the fun. Then he walked towards the people in the yard.

The people in the yard saw him coming and made room for him. Someone called out to him, "Ye Yi, try it. The snacks in your mansion are really delicious. Can you pack some up and take them back so that my brothers can have some too?"

Ye Yi smiled and replied, "This is a small matter. I'll tell our prince later and ask him to give the order."

As he spoke, he also picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite, and said proudly to everyone, "How is it? Delicious, right? This is made by our cousin."

On Ye Yunxing's side, his classmates took leave from the academy and sat around him, trying to strike up a conversation with him, wanting to go see Luo Shuiyao, but Ye Yunxing refused: "No, there are only female guests over there, what will it look like for a group of men like you to go over there? We'll talk about it later if there's a chance."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the yard: "Is the prince here?"
