631 So angry
After hearing their criticism, Xiao Baili smiled.
“May I ask what I said wrong?
“First of all, Miss Tu is older than me. Isn’t it inappropriate for her to call me sister?
“Secondly, I don’t know Miss Tu well. We haven’t even spoken before. I don’t think it’s appropriate for her to call me Sister Xiao. Is there a problem?
“Thirdly, what do you mean by Miss Tu lowering her status to greet me, but I was very rude? You’re the ones who disturbed our meal without an invitation. You’re the ones who are being rude.
“Besides, if Miss Tu is a young lady, am I not?
“My brother is the magistrate of Northern City, and his position is higher than that of the Tu family’s master. My sister-in-law is a first-rank princess, and my mother is also a county lord conferred by the emperor. Miss Tu’s mother is not even a first lady. May I ask, in what way is my status lower than hers? ”
Xi Rui, who originally wanted to speak, couldn’t help but smile when he heard Xiao Baili’s rebuttal.
Xiao Baili had been with Shi Qingluo for a long time, and she was also very good at manipulating others.
Each of her responses hit the bull’s eye, and they were all reasonable. He wondered how these people would refute
As expected, the two young ladies were stunned and didn’t know where to start.
One of the young ladies pouted. “You’re just a farmer’s daughter. You’re just lucky to be a young lady of an official’s family.”
Xiao Baili didn’t deny it. Instead, she said, “So what if I’m lucky? My brother’s rank is higher than your father’s.”
“If we’re really talking about status, I’m not any lower than you guys. I don’t know why you guys are so prideful.”
The young lady choked again. “You!”
Tu Yujiao didn’t expect Xiao Baili to be such a glib talker. She was just like Shi Qingluo, a village girl who kept pestering her.
The other young Masters didn’t expect this little girl from the Xiao family to have such a sharp tongue.
The few among them spoke up.
“Miss Xiao, you’re in the wrong.”
“Miss Tu also wants to be on good terms with you, so she took the initiative to come over and greet you, but you keep blaming her. It’s indeed a bit rude.”
“Yeah, aren’t you going a little too far?”
This time, before Xiao Baili could speak, Xi Rui spoke in a cold tone.
“I won’t be polite in this. What do you want?
“You’re just a bunch of descendants from a small family. How dare you talk nonsense in front of us? Who do you think you are? Do you need our Baili to be polite to you?
“Baili’s sister-in-law is a first-rank princess, and her mother is a consort, who was married to Prince Yi. She doesn’t need to be polite with anyone in Northern City.”
Xi Rui stood up and looked at them sarcastically. “How noble do you think you are? Don’t think too highly of yourself.
“If your so-called young masters were in the capital and had to clean my shoes, I would have complained that their hands were too rough.”
Then he looked at Tu Yujiao and the other two women. “You’re still too young to plot against Baili.
“You don’t even know her, yet you’re here calling her sister. Your face is bigger than a basin for vegetables, you are so thick-skinned.
“You guys are young ladies of aristocratic families? If you were in the capital, you wouldn’t even be taken in as concubines, let alone be someone’s wife.
“For example, I’m a well-known playboy in the capital. Girls like you come to my door and serve as my servant girls to wash my feet, but I will despise you for your clumsiness.”
Xi Rui had been the domineering one in the capital for so long, and he was used to doing whatever he wanted.
But now that he had been with Shi Qingluo for a long time, his mouth had become particularly vicious.
If they still didn’t know what was good for themselves, then he would make a move.
Xi Rui’s vicious tongue left the young masters and young ladies dumbfounded.
The young masters’ faces turned green with anger. Xi Rui was too much. He actually despised their hands for being too rough to do shoe cleaning.
The young ladies were so angry that their eyes turned red.
This wastrel was too much. He actually said that no one wanted them as concubines and that he wouldn’t even bother about them if they were to wash his feet.
Tu Lihuan’s expression also changed. “Young Master Xi, your words are too much.”
Xi Rui raised an eyebrow at him. “I’ve already said that. What can you do about it?
“The so-called number one family in Northern City is only so-so in a remote place like Northern City. If you go to the capital, the Tu family is nothing.
“And you guys, do you really think that you’re young masters? You’re not even worthy of carrying shoes for us in the capital.”
He snorted. “I can stomp you to death with one foot.”
”
He was not bragging, the children of the local aristocratic families who went to the capital had to bow to him.
Those who were too high-profile and really thought highly of themselves would definitely be provoked so much that they wouldn’t want to go to Beijing again.
His words made Tu Lihuan and the others ‘faces turn even uglier.
However, they couldn’t make a rebuttal.
After all, in the capital, they were nothing compared to the rich young masters.
Especially for someone like Xi Rui, who came from the public administrative house and was doted on by the empress dowager and the emperor, he could do whatever he wanted in the capital.
When they went to the capital, they would usually hide far away and would never provoke them.
“You said that ‘if we were to go to the capital’, but this is the northern border,” one of the young masters said as he was unconvinced.
It meant that this was their territory.
Xi Rui chuckled. “So what if we are at the northern border? If I want to step on you, I’ll still be able to step on you.
“If I can do whatever I want in the capital, I can do the same at the northern border.
“Don’t forget that the magistrate of Northern City is my best friend. The most powerful governor in the North Princedom is my third cousin, and the highest-ranking prince, Prince Yi, is my youngest uncle.”
He deliberately picked his ears and looked at these people with disdain. “Who are you? Tell me.
“Even Liang Mingyu, who’s in charge of Prince Jin’s residence, has to be polite to me. Who do you think you are?”
Tu Lihuan and the others were speechless. They really don’t know so many people with great identities
In fact, their father’s position was not even as high as Xiao Hanzheng’s.
But could he argue like this? No matter what, they were all large aristocratic families in Northern City!
But if Xi Rui wanted to compete like this, they wouldn’t be able to match with him.
Furthermore, now that Prince Jin was crippled and Liang Mingyu had joined Prince Yi, who was Xi Rui’s uncle and the third prince, who had military power in his hands were in charge, this wastrel could really do whatever he wanted in the northern border.
They were so angry!
The two young ladies were also furious. This was the first time they had been humiliated like this.
If Xi Rui’s words were to reach Northern City, how could they get married?
One of the young ladies couldn’t help but glare at him with red eyes. “Xi Rui, you’re too much. You actually dare to speak so harshly to a young lady. Where are your manners and self-restraint?”
Xi Rui raised an eyebrow. “Manners and self-restraint are meant for people who are worthy. Are you worthy?”
The young lady trembled with anger. “You!”
Then she covered her face and ran away in tears. She obviously couldn’t stand this insult.
Xi Rui continued to use his venomous tongue.
“She is quite self-aware and knows that the ugly also causes more troubles, so she doesn’t want to embarrass herself in front of me.”
“Pfft!” Xiao Baili , XIao Erlang, and the others who were watching the show couldn’t help but laugh.
The smile in Xiao Baili’s eyes deepened. Not to mention that brother Rui’s mouth was very venomous.
These people were most proud of their so-called identities, and Brother Rui used his identity to suppress them. After he used his poisonous mouth, these people could not refute
After all, in terms of status, he was noblest one here.
