She wandered around the gate of the Su Mansion for three days. The maids and servants spoke harshly to her, beat her at every turn, and kept driving her away.

There was no one to help her pass the message, she couldn't see Aunt Liu, she had no money, and she couldn't save her son. What could she do?

The resentment that had been pent up in Hu Niang's heart for so many days burst out at this moment.

She stood there and jumped up and down, "I'm just a concubine of the Su family. I asked you to pass on a message, and you dare to act like that in front of me."

"You're such an ignorant person, you really think you're the boss."

"When I see Madam Liu, I'll make sure she teaches you a lesson."

Hu Niang was born in the countryside and was a famous shrew in the area within ten miles. When it came to throwing tantrums and swearing in the streets, she never lost.

Lin's face flushed red after being scolded. She lifted the car curtain and was about to explode, but Su Manman stopped her, "Taohong will handle it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Taohong, who had been watching Hu Niang warily, suddenly rushed over, "Pa pa pa..."

Her movements were swift, her blows steady and accurate. As she struck, she cursed, "You damned witch, you dare to offend my wife? You're courting death."

Hu Niang was beaten back several steps, covering her face with one hand and staring blankly at the person in front of her.

Obviously, she didn't expect that she, a veteran, would be beaten by a young girl.

By the time she reacted, her facial features were distorted and her bloated body pounced on her, "You little bitch, how dare you hit me?"

When a woman fights, she tears at clothes and pulls at hair, but she never loses.

It is such a shame and humiliation that this little girl got the upper hand today.

Hu Niang used her fat hand to tear Taohong's collar, and tried to pull her hair with the other hand.

"Buzzing..."

The sword blade flew out of its sheath, cutting through the air with a clear sound. Hu Niang only felt a flash before her eyes, and the next moment, a sword blade was against her neck.

The sword blade was icy cold and the sword energy was overwhelming. I felt a pain in my neck and warm liquid flowed down my neck.

"you you……"

Hu Niang stared at the sword-wielding girl with horror in her eyes. She was so frightened that she dared not move. Her face instantly lost its color and turned pale.

"You... dare to kill someone... in the street." Her lips trembled and her voice suddenly became lower.

The commotion here attracted the attention of people around.

Qingluan didn't care at all. She held the sword steadily in one hand, and her young face was calm. "You threw yourself on my sword."

Hu Niang: “…”

Open your eyes and tell lies.

"that is!"

Taohong hid behind Qingluan, laughing triumphantly, "You bold woman! How dare you humiliate and offend the wife of the Minister of Rites? How many heads do you have left to chop off? And you even want to commit suicide by accusing someone of tampering with your porcelain? So what if I grant you your wish?"

Hu Niang: “…”

It's a complete confusion of right and wrong!

"I didn't do that. Please don't throw mud at me." She stiffened her neck and argued.

More and more people gathered around and someone recognized her.

"This woman has been hanging around the gate of the Su Mansion these past few days. She obviously has bad intentions."

"So, she wanted to scam people and extort money from Madam Su. How bold of her!"

"The other day, I saw her snatching a child's buns. She had no shame..."

"Robbing buns is nothing. Last night, she stopped my man on the street and tried to seduce him. How despicable..."

There was a lot of cursing and condemnation all around, and Hu Niang's face turned blue and purple.

The sword in Qingluan's hand inadvertently moved forward a little, and the deeper pain in her neck made Hu Niang scared to death.

"Please spare me! It's my fault."

She didn't dare to act rashly and apologized hurriedly.

Qingluan didn't move, but glanced sideways at her master.

Hu Niang followed her gaze and finally focused on the girl next to the car.

She has a slender figure and a slim waist, and she wears a simple green dress, which highlights her elegant and refined temperament.

At this moment, she stood quietly there, looking at her indifferently with a pair of black grape-like eyes.

Their eyes met, and she looked at her as if she were looking at a dead object.

Hu Niang was frightened. The cold sweat on her back stuck to her clothes. When the cold wind blew, she shivered all over.

"My dear lady, it was my fault. I was shortsighted and imprudent. Please forgive me and spare my life!"

She was in a daze and begged for mercy in panic.

Su Manman smiled lightly and said softly, "Qingluan, don't make a fuss. You'll scare people."

The female voice was soft and gentle, without any sharpness or aggressiveness.

"Yes, girl." Qingluan was very obedient and retracted the sword.

Tao Hong, who was standing by, handed her a handkerchief and said, "Hurry up and wipe the blood off the sword. It's too dirty."

Hu Niang took the opportunity to take a few steps back and reached out to touch the painful spot on her neck.

What meets the eye is a blood-red color in the palm of your hand.

Her mind went blank, her legs went weak, and she suddenly collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Are you here to see Aunt Liu?" The girl slowly approached. "No wonder..."

Her voice was soft and pleasant, "Madam Liu is favored by Lord Su and has been managing the household for so many years. It's nothing for others to call her Madam."

"Girls are kind-hearted!"

Taohong threw the blood-stained handkerchief away and added indignantly, "Madam and Miss are the legitimate wife and daughter of the Su family. How can they allow a concubine to use the title of Madam and act so arrogantly?"

She spat, adding fuel to the fire, "She cries poor in front of the ladies all day long and treats us harshly, while she herself wears gold and silver jewelry, eats delicacies every day, and her maids live a comfortable life, no worse than the girls from ordinary families in the capital."

At this point, she looked at Hu Niang and said, "She treated us so harshly that she was even so cold to her old friend."

"Taohong, don't talk too much." The girl advised.

Tao Hong deliberately raised her voice, fearing that Hu Niang wouldn't hear clearly, and curled her lips at her, "If Madam Liu could scrape out a little silver from her teeth, it would be enough for her to live comfortably, and she wouldn't have to resort to such acts as robbing buns, stealing, and blackmailing."

The girl shook her head helplessly.

Before getting on the carriage, she sighed softly, "Madam Liu is not someone who cares about old feelings. So what does it matter if you say so?"

The carriage moved slowly, and the group headed towards East Street.

Hu Niang covered the wound on her neck, her eyes sinister as she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Madam Liu, I protected you from disaster, and you didn't even remember our friendship. You are such an ungrateful person."

In the carriage, Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter beside her and felt sad. "Man'er, it's because of mother that you are looked down upon."

"Mom, you are wrong." Su Manman lived a new life and saw a lot more clearly.

"Mom, I don't care what others think. I only care about whether I live freely and unrestrainedly. This has nothing to do with external things."

After hearing her words, Lin felt even more upset.

I wonder how my daughter has been living in Jiangyang these years, which is why she is so indifferent, unlike someone of her age.

"Dress up, my daughter is the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Even without dressing up, I'm still the most beautiful woman in the world. After all, I was born by my mother!"

The two of them praised each other for a while and smiled at each other.

Jinli Embroidery Shop is the largest garment shop in the capital, located at the easternmost end of the main street.

It is a three-story wooden building with a constant stream of cars and horses at the door.

Since the incident at the Princess's Mansion the night before, the girls from various mansions were taken back home. Apart from the fire, there were no other rumors in the outside world.

However, since yesterday, the girls from all the mansions have started discussing marriages.

To discuss marriage, one needs to buy clothes and jewelry, so the business of Jinli Embroidery Shop is unprecedentedly booming.

When the carriage arrived at the door of Jinli Embroidery Shop, there was no place to stop.

Zhao Dashan drove the carriage, turning left and right, and finally stopped at a secluded place when the opportunity arose. "Madam, Miss, we really can't squeeze through."

He scratched his head sheepishly.

"It's okay!" Su Manman got out of the car first and helped Lin get out. "Mom, let's go over and take a look."

Su Manman held Lin's arm, with Taohong and Qingluan guarding her on both sides, and entered the shop.
