Chapter 257: Public outrage? The show begins
"That's right! This girl was just acting in self-defense. What's wrong with that? Why should she kneel down and apologize?"
"Girl, don't be afraid! The world is going downhill! We will definitely uphold justice."
"That's right! Miss Gu should apologize to this girl!"
"Apologize! Apologize! Apologize!" The onlookers shouted and demanded that Miss Gu apologize.
"Apologize? Is she worthy of it? A bunch of untouchables! Just wait for me!" When Gu Jialing said this, she immediately offended everyone present.
Originally, the people were dissatisfied with Miss Gu because of what Yao Qingnian said just now. Now they heard her say such arrogant words, and they were all outraged for a while.
"She said we are pariahs. The Prime Minister's Mansion is really a good family education!"
"We can't let her go like this! We must apologize to everyone!"
Looking at the excited people, she realized that she had said the wrong thing in a fit of anger, but the words had already been spoken and there was nothing she could do. Asking her to apologize was impossible!
"Get out of the way! You are the untouchables! Was I wrong?" After she said that, she took out the whip she carried with her and swung it at the people who were surrounding her. Several people standing in the front row were hit and fell to the ground groaning.
"Someone's hitting someone! The Prime Minister's daughter is hitting someone!"
Someone shouted loudly, and there was chaos for a moment. Yao Qingnian took advantage of the chaos to take Nanny Song away.
Shen Youran was in a miserable state. She was pushed around by the people, especially a few men, who deliberately leaned towards her. Her maid who was protecting them in front was not much better off. In the end, the two of them were pushed to the ground and stepped on several times. She looked extremely embarrassed. Her usual dignified and generous appearance was gone. In the end, she covered her face and fled the scene, running all the way back to the Shangshu Mansion.
In the teahouse opposite the jewelry store.
"Xuanfeng, what's the noise outside?" Lu Huaijin was talking to someone.
Xuanfeng looked towards the window and saw Yao Qingnian leaving with someone. He rubbed his eyes and thought he had seen it wrong. After confirming again and again, it was indeed the Madam. How did the Madam come to the capital?
But the master was discussing an important matter, so he decided not to make it public. He replied, "Master, the Prime Minister's daughter had a conflict with someone and caused public outrage."
"Public outrage? Haha, Master Lu, it looks like something interesting will happen soon. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
"My lord, walk slowly."
After everyone left, Xuanfeng spoke: "Master, I seemed to have seen Madam just now."
"What?! Why didn't you say it earlier!" Lu Huaijin hurriedly got up and went downstairs, but after looking around, he didn't see Yao Qingnian.
"The Madam has been gone for a while with a maid." replied Xuanfeng.
"Go and check where the madam is now." Lu Huaijin ordered in a cold voice. Previously, due to the sudden death of his master, he stayed behind to deal with the aftermath and sent someone to send a letter back. He thought that Yao Qingnian was worried about him, so she came to the capital to find him.
"Yes, master!" Tornado took the order and went down.
In the Shangshu Mansion.
"Shen Nianran!!" She returned to the mansion, gritting her teeth in hatred! She smashed everything at hand! The servants didn't dare to make a sound. A little maid brought tea with trembling hands. She was frightened by Shen Youran's roar and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground. She knelt down in a hurry to pick up the broken pieces of the teacup: "Miss, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"
She walked over and stepped on the maid's hand as she was picking up the teacup. The maid's hand was stabbed hard on the broken pieces of the bowl, and blood gushed out instantly, but she did not stop. Her eyes were bloodshot, full of hatred for Shen Nianran, and she increased the strength of her feet.
The little maid's face was twisted with pain, but she tried her best to endure it. She knew that if she screamed out, her fate would be even worse.
"Miss, please calm down. It's a good thing that the girl has angered the Prime Minister's daughter! We don't need to do anything, someone will naturally take care of her." Dongmei, Shen Youran's trusted maid, said from the side.
Dongmei's words woke her up. She loosened her legs and smiled viciously, "Yes, she offended Miss Gu. How could the Prime Minister's Mansion let her go so easily?"
"Miss, let me help you dress up first." Shen Youran's hair was messy now and she looked totally out of shape.
"No, just like that. It's just the right thing to do. I'll go add fuel to the fire between my father and grandmother."
So she took Dongmei with her and went to the old lady's yard to complain. Upon hearing this, the old lady hurriedly sent someone to call Shen Wenting and Chen Shuhua over.
As soon as Yao Qingnian returned home, she was called to the old lady's yard. As soon as she stepped through the door, a teacup was thrown at her and she dodged sideways.
"Evil girl, you still dare to hide! Kneel down now!" Shen Wenting shouted angrily.
"Master, please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding." Chen Shuhua advised.
"What misunderstanding is there? You Ran is watching from the side, how can you wrongly accuse her? Get down on your knees quickly." Shen Wenting slammed the table.
Seeing Shen Youran's face full of gloating, Yao Qingnian knew that it must be this good sister who was stirring up trouble again.
"Don't you know what I did wrong? Tell me clearly. You are throwing dirty water on me without any reason. I don't want to take the blame." Yao Qingnian ignored them and found a seat to sit down.
"You! Do you have any rules? You dare to be so presumptuous in front of your elders. No wonder you want to go out and cause trouble. Get up!" Shen Wenting not only ignored her but also sat down as if no one was around. What a wild girl! She is really uneducated.
"What trouble did I get into when I went out? Can't I just sit down for a while if I'm tired? Mom, is this cup of tea prepared for me? I'm thirsty." Yao Qingnian picked up the tea in the cup and drank it.
"Master, Nianran has just come back. If you have anything to say, please talk nicely. Girl, you too, need to learn some manners in front of your elders. When your mother is free someday, I'll ask a female teacher to come over for you." Chen's words were reproachful, but her tone was gentle.
"Let me ask you, what did you do today? Did you offend the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? That's the Prime Minister's Mansion. How can a small Shangshu Mansion like us afford to offend it? You caused such a big trouble just after returning. What should we do now?"
"What! The daughter of the Prime Minister! Shen Nianran, I thought you were a well-behaved and sensible girl, you really disappoint me!" When the old lady heard that Yao Qingnian caused trouble as soon as she came back, all the good impression she had of Yao Qingnian disappeared, and there was only dislike and disgust in her eyes.
“Grandma and father, please don’t blame my sister. It’s all my fault. At that time, Miss Gu asked my sister to kneel down and apologize. My sister asked me to do it for her, and I should have agreed. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have caused such a disaster.” Shen Youran squeezed out a few tears and seemed like she was about to faint from crying. Coupled with her current look, Shen Wenting felt even more distressed.
"How can this be your fault? It was clearly this evil girl who caused the problem. Come here, punish her according to the family rules!"
