Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

After waiting for a long time, Jiang Shun still did not show up, but the girl in blue who had just walked into Zhuji Pavilion walked out with a dignified and elegant step.

When Tao Jiuxi looked up and saw it, he quickly turned away, fearing that the girl disliked him and would come to pick a fight with him again.

She quickly turned around and found a step to sit down, curling up her body, hoping that Jiang Shun would come out soon.

What you fear will come true. The sound of footsteps is getting closer and closer behind you.

"Where did this beggar come from? He's such an eyesore!"

When Tao Jiuxi heard this, he knew it was the woman in blue who said it.

What kind of grudge was that? She actually came here to criticize him personally.

Tao Jiuxi secretly complained: You are such an eyesore that you have blinded yourself.

I'm wearing new clothes my cousin sent me today, so how come I look like a beggar? People in the capital are so arrogant that they look at everyone like a beggar.

"That's right, it's dirtying the girl's eyes." The maid next to the girl in blue immediately agreed.

"Cui Liu, tell the maids in the mansion not to talk to anyone on the street when they go out. Even the lowest-ranking maids must be warned."

"Even the lowest-ranking maid in our mansion wouldn't do this. She actually chatted so enthusiastically with an old man. How despicable."

Tao Jiuxi was simply speechless.

Aren't noble ladies of this era supposed to be reserved and self-respecting? Why is she cursing people herself?

Shouldn't the maid be asked to make sarcastic remarks about this matter?

At this time, Tao Jiuxi felt like a quail. He could only pretend that he didn't hear it and didn't dare to look back.

If I try to be stubborn and talk back at this time, I will definitely suffer because there are servants following them.

The woman in blue muttered a few more words, and seeing that Tao Jiuxi ignored her, she had no choice but to walk into the restaurant in disappointment.

Tao Jiuxi's eyes quietly followed the girls who walked into the restaurant, and he didn't move until he saw them sit down in a private seat by the window of the restaurant.

Tao Jiuxi looked around and saw an old lady scrubbing an iron pot in an alley not far away.

Tao Jiuxi picked up a few large dry leaves from the ground, walked towards the old lady with a smile on his face, and said he wanted some pot ash.

The old lady thought that the pot ash was of no use, and since Tao Jiuxi was sweet-talking, she filled the pot with a whole leaf of ash for Tao Jiuxi.

Tao Jiuxi returned to the front of the restaurant, stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck to look inside, and saw the girl in blue sitting elegantly by the window. There were soft gauze curtains hanging on both sides of the seat, and an exquisite screen outside, making it difficult to get close to her.

So she tiptoed around to the other side, holding her breath and listening carefully to what the woman in blue said inside the window.

"That bitch was secretly watching Wangyue Tower. She must have known that Brother Jinghuan would come to this restaurant to meet with the talented scholars today, so she just stood there stupidly."

"Look at how shabby she is. Master Xie will definitely not even look at her."

"Send someone to check quietly later to see if there are any shameless bitches hanging around outside."

"Miss, I've already sent someone to guard outside. Princess Jiamin and General Li's daughter have already booked the private rooms upstairs. Besides that, there are a few other restaurants across the street that aren't worth mentioning, such as Shihuazhai. The only one left is that little bitch."

"County Lady Jiamin has always been very self-important, yet she's here too?"

"Yes. But even if they come, they can't match your beauty. You don't have to take them to heart."

After hearing this, Tao Jiuxi already understood why she was being targeted. Did she think she also came to see the person she liked?

The two people inside the window were still whispering, but Tao Jiuxi couldn't listen anymore.

This master and servant are a perfect match, they are both evil and stupid.

She glared, pushed the window open with force, and without hesitation threw the ash and leaves in her hand towards the woman in blue's face. At the same time, she quickly reached out and grabbed the dishes on the table and poured them all at the woman in blue.

The woman in blue and her maid Cui Liu were talking bad about someone behind their back when the window suddenly opened and they didn't react at all.

Finally, Tao Jiuxi picked up a plate closest to the window and smashed it hard at the woman in blue.

By the time the two men reacted, they were already covered in dirt and their faces were unrecognizable.

"Ah!" the woman in blue screamed.

"Someone come! Catch her!" the maid Cui Liu shouted at the top of her lungs.

The originally quiet and elegant restaurant suddenly became noisy, with the diners' exclamations and the colliding sounds of tables and chairs intertwined.

After Tao Jiuxi finished this series of actions, he said provocatively: "You have food in your mouth, how can it stink so bad? You two are shit!" After that, he turned around and ran desperately.

Tao Jiuxi ran very fast, like a gust of wind. Her feet were so fast that she ran forward like a wild horse.

When the servant behind him chased out the door, Tao Jiuxi was nowhere to be seen.

In fact, before she went to the bottom of the window, she had already carefully planned her retreat.

Just run a distance first, then hide on the road that Jiang Shun passed by, and when Jiang Shun goes back, you can follow him and leave.

According to the plan, she hid next to a house not far from Wangyue Tower.

There was an abandoned cart next to the house. Tao Jiuxi quietly hid behind the cart, carefully hiding his body and not daring to be careless.

Today, the sun shines on my body and it feels warm, but it is winter after all. In the shade, the cold wind blows and it is still bitingly cold.

The dry branches on the street swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds under the ravages of the cold wind.

Through the gap, Tao Jiuxi observed the movements of the servant beside the woman in blue.

Fortunately, the servants just glanced around and didn't search seriously.

Tao Jiuxi was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe. He stared at the people coming and going on the street without blinking.

She felt as if time had stopped and was passing extremely slowly.

The streets were still crowded and bustling, but the number of people wearing the same clothes as the servant beside the woman in blue was gradually increasing.

Seeing this, Tao Jiuxi hurriedly reached out and grabbed a few wooden boards next to him, covering himself tightly and praying that no one would discover him.

Those servants were just wandering around the street, looking around. Even if they went into a store to check, they were just going through the motions.

Tao Jiuxi couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart: "Fortunately, the workers in ancient times also gave up."

She waited like this for a long time. The sky got dark especially early in winter, and the darkness was like a huge curtain that covered the earth early.

Tao Jiuxi's stomach also began to growl, as if protesting her long wait.

She watched helplessly as the figures of the servants wandering around became fewer and fewer, but the fear in her heart still made her dare not show up.

Only when there were fewer and fewer people on the street and she no longer saw the figures of the servants who had captured her did she decide to come out from under the wooden board.

"Second girl."

It was Jiang Shun who came. He was holding a lantern in his hand. The dim light swayed in the cold wind, just like his uneasy heart at the moment.

"Jiang Shun! You are finally here." There was a hint of surprise in Tao Jiuxi's voice.

"I'm sorry, Second Miss." Jiang Shun's face was full of guilt, and his voice was filled with apology that was hard to conceal.

"I actually saw you hiding here when I was in the private room on the second floor, but I haven't finished what the master asked me to do yet, so I really can't come to find you."

When he spoke, he didn't dare to look Tao Jiuxi in the eye, but just lowered his head slightly. Thinking that the second girl had been curled up here in fear for a whole day, he felt a little guilty.

"It's okay. Do you know everything I did?" Tao Jiuxi asked tentatively.

"That woman is Zhao Muer, the daughter of Taizhong Doctor. She has always had a good reputation in the capital. Why did the second young lady have an argument with her today?" Jiang Shun was very curious.

"Grand Master? Is this a high-ranking official?"

"From the fourth rank, let's go back to the mansion first. After we get back, we can only wait for the master to make the decision. It was me who brought you out today. If the master wants to punish you, I... I will definitely share the responsibility with you." After all, it was he who brought the person out, and he didn't take good care of him.

"I'm sorry, Jiang Shun. It's all my fault that you got involved." Tao Jiuxi felt scared, but he was so angry at the time that he couldn't help but make those impulsive actions.

Jiang Shun saw her tearful look. He had never seen a woman like this in front of him before, and he felt panic in his heart.

Tao Jiuxi forced himself to stand up, and Jiang Shun led the way in front with a lamp.

The long street at night is no longer noisy as it was during the day, leaving only silence.

"I shouldn't have let you bring me out." Tao Jiuxi said with some self-blame.

"I saw that you were bored in the mansion, so I thought of taking you out for a walk." Jiang Shun answered softly, his eyes always looking forward, not daring to look back at Tao Jiuxi.

"If...if my cousin punishes you, just say that I followed you out secretly and you didn't know about this, okay?"

Tao Jiuxi was filled with self-blame. She herself didn't care much about being punished, but now Jiang Shun and her elder sister who was unaware of the situation at her cousin's house might be implicated. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and her voice was choked with sobs.

In the past, when she was wronged, she would either endure it silently or fight hard. She had long been accustomed to facing it alone without considering the feelings of others.

"Second Miss, you don't have to do this. I will share the responsibility with you." Jiang Shun's tone was still gentle.

"You don't have to treat me, a stranger, like this..." Tao Jiuxi said softly.

"You're like a younger sister to me. I've been with the master since I was seven, and I rarely go home. Seeing you is like seeing my younger sister." Jiang Shun explained hurriedly. The Tao Jiuxi sisters before him should have been in a stable home, enjoying a carefree life.

If they had not encountered any misfortunes at home, they would definitely be laughing and making noises happily at home, surrounded by the love of their family, instead of having to endure so much bullying outside.
