How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

Bai Ye's body trembled slightly. He slowly lowered his head and answered in a voice that could be heard only by himself, "Yes..." At this moment, he felt like a puppet being manipulated, completely losing control of the situation.

"Hmph! You really have a clever plan! First, you marry someone's daughter into the family, and then you use such despicable means to win back the betrothal gifts. In this way, won't the Sheng family become a laughing stock for the whole world? And you still have the nerve to say that you are upright and honest? It's utterly ridiculous!" Jin Shuai couldn't help but sneer, his words full of sarcasm.

Faced with Jin Shuai's accusations, Bai Ye blushed and tried to defend himself, saying, "I...I was just participating in the pitch-pot competition. I knew nothing about the tricks behind it..." However, his voice sounded so pale and weak.

"Hahahaha..." Jin Shuai suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with endless contempt and disdain. "You're truly hopelessly stupid! Being manipulated like a puppet, you're like someone who's been sold out and is still helping to count the money!" After saying that, Jin Shuai once again revealed a wicked smile. Sheng Hong stood to the side, his face turning red and then pale.

"I...I..." Bai Ye's face flushed red, his lips trembled slightly, and he was too ashamed to speak.

"Now that the betrothal gifts are mine, are you still planning to eat here?" Jin Shuai looked at Bai Ye with a smug expression and a mocking smile on his lips.

Just then, a burly, imposing man strode out from the crowd. This man was Yuan Wenchun. His eyes were wide with anger as he shouted, "Wait! These belong to the Zhongqin Earl's Mansion! Who dares to touch them!" His words were thunderous.

Seeing this, Jin Shuai sneered and said, "Go, release those two geese!" As soon as he finished speaking, two strong and burly attendants rushed to the cage and opened the door without hesitation. In an instant, the two geese took flight and disappeared into the horizon.

Seeing this, Yuan Wenchun trembled with rage. Pointing at Jin Shuai, he roared through gritted teeth, "Who are you? How dare you be so insolent! State your name immediately! The Zhongqin Earl's Mansion never lays hands on nameless nobodies!" His voice resounded through the heavens, carrying boundless authority and domineering power. However, facing Yuan Wenchun's questioning, Jin Shuai merely smiled mockingly, completely disregarding him.

"After all this talk, doesn't the Sheng family offer tea as a sign of hospitality?" Jin Shuai asked with a smile.

"Young master, please come in and have some tea. I apologize for my neglect," Sheng Hong said, finally regaining his composure.

"Leave two people to watch over our things." After saying that, Jin Shuai followed Sheng Hong into the main hall. After being seated, Sheng Hong said to Jin Shuai, "May I ask which family you are, young master?"

"My ancestor, Jin Junqing, is currently the Commissioner of the Three Departments. This is our Jin family's eldest grandson, Commander Jin..." the attendant stepped forward and announced.

Sheng Hong quickly told the maid to go and call the old lady and the ladies over to pay their respects.

————Dividing line————

In Shou'an Hall, the old lady of the Sheng family was listening to the maid's report with Wang Ruofu and Hua Lan. Wang Ruofu said angrily, "I don't know why the master took a fancy to the Yuan family. Is he playing with our Sheng family? How will my Hua'er live if she marries into that family? It would have been better to choose the Duke of Jin's mansion in the first place!"

"Shut up! The most important thing now is to find out who that young man is, daring to publicly disrespect the Earl of Zhongqin's mansion. Hualan, what are you thinking?" Old Madam Sheng said.

"Ah! Hua'er doesn't know, I... I'll listen to Grandmother completely." Hua Lan said, her mind in turmoil.

"It's all Lin Qinshuang's fault. She failed to raise her son properly. Otherwise, if he hadn't been involved in gambling, none of this would have happened," Wang Ruofu said angrily.

At this moment, a maid came to report that the master had invited the old lady, the eldest daughter-in-law, and the young lady to the main hall.

"Are you seeing that young man who stood up for us?" Old Mrs. Sheng asked.

“Yes!” the maid replied.
