C109

Ye Jinsu glanced at the hand that was resting on her shoulder and almost stopped Xiao Hong from standing up. Then, without batting an eyelid, she pushed him away and smiled, "I know, I've heard of it."

"Is it a rumor outside that the talented girl is a lady from a noble family? She is proficient in the art of zither, chess, calligraphy, and even knows how to read and write?" the man asked again.

Ye Jinsu followed his words and asked, "That's true. Could it be that there's some sort of secret behind it?"

That person was laughing out loud, and the flesh on his face was squashed together. When he laughed, his saliva was flowing out. She took a few steps back, but her face remained expressionless.

"Little brother is smart. Do you know what kind of person that great talented girl is behind the scenes?"

As he said this, the man laughed even more wildly. He had an intoxicated expression on his face and was gesturing with his hands.

Ye Jinxiu couldn't hold it in any longer and her face turned cold.

That person didn't seem to notice Ye Jinsu's change in expression. As he continued speaking, he stretched out his ten fingers and said, "In my opinion, that little girl is no less than the men sleeping in Fragrant Pavilion."

Ye Jinsu's hand, which was holding the teacup, gradually tightened as the veins in her hand bulged.

Xiao Hong could no longer hold it in. She picked up a cup of tea from the side and poured it on that person's face.

The intoxicated expression on his face instantly disappeared. That person seemed to have been shocked by his words. He stared angrily at Xiao Hong and was about to attack. Lil 'Red was clearly angry. It even wanted to pour another cup of wine.

Ye Jin Su stopped the angry Xiao Hong and took out a silver ingot from her bosom. "Brother, you think we should just let this matter pass?"

The man's raised fist softened the moment he saw the silver. His expression changed as he grabbed the silver. It seemed as if he was afraid that Ye Jinsu would go back on his word.

After taking the silver, he looked at Ye Jinsu and Xiao Hong with a puzzled expression and said, "How strange. That girl isn't from your family. Why are you two so excited?"

As he spoke, he turned to join in the discussion with the others.

The atmosphere had reached another climax, and everyone was having a heated discussion.

All sorts of obscenities flew in the air.

"What do you mean, 'that little girl looks so coquettish' when she walks?"

"What do you mean, you can't even compare to the number one card in Fragrant Storey …"

Ye Jinsu clenched her chopsticks tightly and nearly broke them.

At the last moment when the chopsticks were about to break, Ye Jinsu put down her chopsticks. Her whole body was trembling with anger as she gnashed her teeth and said, "Little Red, let's go!"

A loud sound suddenly came from the crowd behind him.

"Bam."

Ye Jinxiu turned her head and saw that the most boisterous crowd had started to fight. Four or five people were fighting, and the tables and chairs were pushed far away.

Xiao Hong subconsciously protected Ye Jinsu as it retreated into the distance.

In the confusion, a familiar figure stood up, punched his men with his fist, and gave them a nosebleed.

Ye Jinshu's eyes widened as he pulled Little Red back.

"Look at that person, does he look like Young Master Mo?" Ye Jinsu pointed at the man.

Now that it was night and she was far away, it was impossible to tell whether this candle flame was really from the Mo Territory or not.

Xiao Hong also stared for a moment, "It does look like it, but why is Young Master Mo here fighting with these people?"

Ye Jinsu shook her head and observed from the side.

Sure enough, after a while, servants came over and pulled out Mo Yu, who was already at a disadvantage.

With the help of a candle flame, Ye Jinsu finally saw him clearly. Indeed, it was the Mo Territory.

The rest of them also saw it clearly. They looked at him and said, "Yo! Isn't this Young Master Mo? "

"What is it? Do you like that daughter of the Su family? You got angry just from saying a few words? "

"I advise you to wipe the bright spots off your eyes. She is not a good person. Other than you, who knows how many other guests she might have."

"How pitiful!"

"Hahahaha."

After a round of laughter, everyone began to laugh.

Mo Yu's eyes turned red and she shouted, "Shut up!"

There were wounds on the face of the Mos as well, green from green, purple from purple. It seemed as though they had gone mad as it hammered the man with all its might.

This punch had knocked him down to the ground, and he didn't move an inch.

Xiao Hong was shocked and took a step back in fear.

Ye Jinxiu stared at it, and the hand she used to grab Little Red tightened unconsciously.

This time, the matter was too serious. No one dared to play around with him anymore. They all looked at the frenzied Mo Territory fearfully, worried that he would go crazy and punch them. Even the waiter didn't dare to say anything.

Only then did the servant step forward and pull the Mo Territory away, dragging it along with him.

When something happened, the crowd quickly dispersed.

Ye Jinsu stood in the corner and watched everything, tightly holding Little Red's hand.

"Little Red, let's go back." Ye Jinsu said.

It was already late when he returned to the courtyard. Meng Lan was anxiously waiting inside the house. She only saw Ye Jinsu coming back with a serious expression on her face.

That was true. She had heard all the rumors outside. She found them unbearable to listen to, not to mention Ye Jinsu herself.

As she helped Ye Jinsu sleep, Meng Lan couldn't help but comfort her, "Miss, we all know that nothing those people say can be trusted."

"Anyone with a brain would never believe it."

Ye Jinxiu did not say anything, but only gave a dull 'En' and turned around to sleep.

She could tell herself she didn't care about what others thought or said. But such a statement, such a word falling into her ears, would still deeply hurt a person.

Furthermore, there was no way for her to completely ignore them. If she allowed them to develop, she would never know how far the rumors would go.

Ye Jinsu closed her eyes and covered her head with the blanket, trying to get those unpleasant words out of her head.

But it was too difficult.

It kept circling in Ye Jinsu's head.

After she was done spiralling and it looked like the Mo Territory was fighting over her, she couldn't even go up and say thank you.

After rolling around on the bed for the most part of the night, Ye Jinsu finally couldn't hold back her heavy eyelids and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Ye Jinsu still felt very tired. Ever since she had left for the old lady's place, she had always gotten up early in the morning to serve the old lady.

He hadn't slept well last night and had gotten up very early. Ye Jinsu could barely keep her eyes open.

As usual, after serving the old lady breakfast, he would then talk to her. The old lady would then let Ye Jinsu go.

However, when Ye Jinsu entered the Bai Qing Courtyard today, she noticed that the atmosphere wasn't right.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Jinxiu could roughly guess why.

The old lady was abnormally gentle. There was neither joy nor anger on her face. In fact, she didn't even look at Ye Jinsu. She no longer accompanied Ye Jinsu to eat breakfast with her. Ye Jinsu tactfully stood by the table, respectfully serving breakfast to the old lady.

It wasn't until they had breakfast that the old lady finally spoke to Ye Jinsu, "Shui Sang has heard some rumors outside these days."
