The young lady quickly defended herself, "Sir, it's my fault for not being able to discipline Cui Yu properly. It has nothing to do with my father! My father has been working diligently all these years, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and certainly not condoning a servant who abuses his power to bully others. Please don't misunderstand me!"

"Oh! Diligent?" Jiang Er suddenly sneered, "This young master originally saw that it was not easy for a girl like you, so he didn't want to make things difficult for you. But you insisted on jumping out, so don't blame me for being rude."

He looked the young lady over from head to toe, then continued, "Although your clothes and jewelry are not luxurious, you are using rose water from foreign countries, and a small bottle of it is worth a hundred taels of silver.

Your father was a prefect, and his monthly salary was only fifty taels of silver. If he relied solely on his salary, could he support so many servants and buy you such an expensive perfume?

Don't say that all the money used was your mother's dowry. Whether it is true or not, we will know after the Black Kirin Guards investigate."

At the end of his words, Jiang Er glanced coldly at the young lady and her four maids, then turned around and left with Xie Ying in his arms.

Xie Ying's eyes widened in surprise: "One hundred taels of silver for a small bottle?"

Her mind is now full of this matter, how can she have the mind to pay attention to that lady?

Jiang Er snorted proudly: "Yes, I bought it not long ago. I am very familiar with the smell. There is no way I can make a mistake."

Xie Ying glanced at him and said nothing.

Is it the taste that she cares about?

What she cared about was that a small bottle cost one hundred taels of silver!

This thing is so profitable!

It turns out that she is still too conservative. There are still many suckers in the world.

Xie Ying was thinking about it when she suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Bai Sui's aura, and he seemed to look back at the young lady.

She felt strange, but was concerned about Jiang Er's presence. Besides, this was a street with people coming and going, not a place for talking, so she didn't ask.

However, does Baisui think that there is something wrong with that lady?

Xie Ying turned her head curiously and looked at the young lady.

Seeing her hurriedly get on the carriage and leave with four maids, Xie Ying couldn't help but curl her lips in sarcasm.

Sure enough, not long after, the maid Cui Yu's dissatisfied complaints were heard from the carriage: "Miss, Jiang Er is really too much!"

"Shut up!" The young lady who had been so gentle before suddenly scolded Cui Yu harshly, "Don't you think the trouble you've caused is big enough?"

There was silence in the carriage at first, and then Cui Yu's aggrieved voice was heard: "Miss, it was my fault just now, but I really feel sorry for you.

The one called Baisui is just a guard, and he wears a mask and dares not see anyone. She is the one who looks like an assassin, but Jiang Er actually scolded the young lady for her!

"Idiot! Even if you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner first. Haven't you heard that?"

The lady's voice suddenly became sinister. As she spoke, she twisted Cui Yu's waist hard.

Cui Yu's face wrinkled in pain, but she didn't dare to make a sound. She could only look at the young lady pitifully.

The three remaining maids in the carriage all looked as if they were used to it, and no one pleaded for Cui Yu.

After a while, an older maid said suspiciously, "Miss, the hundred-year-old man wearing a mask just now reminded me of someone."

The lady's expression suddenly changed: "She can't be that person!"

Upon hearing this, the maid quickly explained, "I also thought it wasn't her, but Young Master Jiang's attitude just now was really strange. His hostility towards the Master was a bit too great. I'm worried that someone must have said something to Young Master Jiang."

When the young lady heard this, her face instantly became extremely ugly.

After a long silence, she shook her head and said, "No...it can't be her. It must be just a coincidence! If she really was the person from back then, Jiang Er wouldn't have just given a few warnings."

Having said that, she did not continue.

The carriage gradually went away.

Xie Ying looked at the direction where the carriage was going away with a deep gaze. Thinking of everything she had just seen and heard through Xiao Miao, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

She wasn't surprised that the young lady was two-faced.

But what did the other party mean by those words?

Could it be that Baisui actually had a feud with her family? And a deep-seated hatred?

Xie Ying looked at Bai Sui again, feeling a little concerned.

So when Jiang Er took them into the private room of the restaurant, she deliberately asked Jiang Er: "Is the Shaoxing prefect a bad person?"

She was asking Jiang Er, but her eyes were secretly on Bai Sui.

Unfortunately, Baisui was wearing a mask and couldn't see her expression at the moment.

Jiang Er snorted disdainfully, "Yingying, have you ever heard a saying? A county magistrate who destroys a family, a prefect who wipes out a clan.

How many of these officials out there are any good people? Most of them feel that the emperor is far away, and they rely on the little power they have to abuse their power and do evil!"

Xie Ying was speechless. Did Jiang Er want to see what he was talking about? He actually had the nerve to say such things.

He didn't even think about how much tribute he had received these days.

However, compared to those who casually seize other people's property, Jiang Er, who only accepts some filial piety, is indeed much better.

And… Baisui’s reaction seems a bit too big.

Although he couldn't see her expression at that moment, Xie Ying keenly noticed the change in her aura.

Xie Ying asked again: "So the Shaoxing prefect is a bad guy?"

Jiang Er said with certainty: "That maid just now was so arrogant. How could her master be any good? Would your servants dare to be so arrogant outside?"

Xie Ying quickly shook her head. Of course, the servants in her family wouldn't dare to do that.

Jiang Er smiled proudly, "So I'm sure that the Shaoxing prefect is no good! The rose water that woman used must have been bought by her father by squandering the people's money!

I can't tolerate such a pest! I'll go find Luo Zheng later and ask him to arrange for someone to investigate the Shaoxing prefect! If he finds evidence, he will be severely punished! "

Baisui couldn't help but say, "What you just said, didn't it alert the enemy? She will definitely tell that old man!"

Xie Ying couldn't help but glance at her.

Baisui really had a grudge against the other party, otherwise how would he know that the other party was an "old thing"?

Jiang Er was also a little surprised. He frowned and looked at Bai Sui: "Have you met the Shaoxing prefect?"

Baisui didn't deny it: "Yes, I was almost beaten to death by his servants. I have a blood feud with him!"

Jiang Er's expression instantly turned extremely ugly: "What? He actually dared to have someone beat you up?"

Baisui explained, "Because of my ugly appearance, I frightened his new concubine into having a miscarriage, so he hates me to the core. Although it's human nature for him, he almost killed me, and I can't let this hatred go unresolved."

Jiang Er slammed the table and said, "What kind of human nature is that? I think his concubine might have been drugged and deliberately framed you!"
