Chapter 158 Anger
Ning Yan knew he was acting again, but he still cooperated by rubbing his hand and saying soothingly, "This is the daughter of the Minister of Rites. These educated families understand the rules of propriety, morality, and honor. I believe that young lady will definitely give you justice."
Huo Yun tilted his head and nodded as if he understood, then looked at Zhang Min, waiting for her answer.
Ning Yan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone present to hear.
After hearing this, the people present began to whisper again.
"Who is this guy? He even dares to hit someone from the Shangshu Mansion."
"What do you mean you even dared to hit someone from the Shangshu Mansion? Wasn't it that maid who hit the child first?"
"But this kid is really powerful. He actually dared to hit that maid. Do you think he will be arrested by the soldiers?"
"It's hard to say. I don't think this young lady is someone you can easily mess with. Maybe the young men will really get beaten up."
"It's possible. This kind of thing has happened before. This young man is really unlucky to have met this young lady."
"Who says it's not true? Being an official is good. Even if you are unreasonable, you will still get three points."
"Be careful with your words. If you openly slander court officials, you'll be punished."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
Zhang Min listened to everyone's discussion, and all their words were derogatory towards her. She was really angry now, and she really wanted to teach this guy a lesson.
But she certainly couldn't do that now. Official families attach great importance to their own reputation. If she really bullied a commoner boy like this, and if her best friend was used by someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't it damage the reputation of their Zhang family?
However, if she didn't teach this guy a lesson, it would be difficult to relieve her anger. Who was this untouchable who dared to offend her like this?
So she looked at Dongchun and scolded him, "Useless thing, who told you to hit someone? Go home today and ask the housekeeper to punish you."
Dongchun looked aggrieved after being scolded. She just wanted to stand up for the young lady. How could a poor boy have the guts to bully the young lady of their Shangshu Mansion?
However, she still bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Miss, I know I was wrong."
When everyone present heard Zhang Min's words, their opinion of her changed instantly. This young lady seemed to be quite reasonable.
Zhang Min naturally accepted the admiring gazes from the people around her. The next second, she winked at another maid, then turned around and looked at Ning Yan with a somewhat arrogant expression.
Humph, if you dare to go against me, I will make you suffer the consequences of your humiliation.
Another maid, Dongmei, received Zhang Min's instructions and said to the servant beside her, "Sir, wrap up these three pieces of cloth. These cloths are gifts that my young lady wants to give to her future husband. We cannot neglect them."
When the waiter heard this, he asked in surprise, "Ms. Zhang got engaged so soon? I wonder which noble family he's with?"
"What do you think?" Dongmei asked back in a somewhat arrogant tone.
"I heard some rumors before, is he the legendary one?" the guy asked cautiously.
"Of course." Dongmei gave him an affirmative answer.
When the clerk heard this, he walked directly to the counter, quickly wrapped up the other two pieces of cloth, and handed them to the maid together with the previous one, saying with a smile, "Here you go."
He couldn't afford to offend the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion, and he couldn't afford to offend that one even more. What's more, this cloth looked much more noble when worn by a prince than when worn by an ordinary citizen.
The shopkeeper, who had been standing by for a long time without saying a word, came over and said politely, "Miss, you bought a lot, so I'll give you another piece of cloth. This is also a new style. The clothes made of this cloth will definitely look good on you."
As he said this, he took a piece of silver-white silk cloth with orchid pattern printed on it from the shelf and handed it to the maid Dongmei.
Money is secondary. If they can establish a relationship with this person, they won't have to worry about having a difficult life in the future.
Zhang Min was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's understanding of the situation, so she said with a smile, "Thank you very much, shopkeeper. I will have someone send the money to you later."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away like a victorious rooster. When she turned around, she deliberately glanced in Ning Yan's direction with a smug look on her face.
The two maids also raised their heads proudly and turned around to follow Zhang Min. Only the young man who followed them did not say a word from beginning to end. Before leaving, he glanced in Ning Yan's direction with a calm look.
Ning Yan looked at Zhang Min's back as she turned and left, without any anger on his face. He just felt that he hadn't chanted a spell for a long time and wanted to cast one now.
So he turned his head and leaned close to Huo's ear, pretending to whisper to him, but actually said something in French - I don't want to escape famine.
Anyway, this thing won't kill anyone, so it doesn't matter if he recites it in the city. At most, he will lose some money, Ning Yan thought to himself.
It's a pity that you can't just point and hit wherever you want, otherwise it would save some time and risk. After all, if you chant the spell too much, it's easy to be discovered.
After hearing the words his wife said that he didn't understand, Huo? probably guessed that he was going to chant a spell again, so he started to cooperate with him again, and the two of them sang in unison, as if they were whispering.
While the crowd of onlookers were still immersed in the regret that the farce ended like this, they suddenly heard a "bang" explosion, and then saw a huge hole as big as a washbasin blown out directly in the roof above the cloth shop.
At once, a lot of debris poured down, and a few tiles fell from above, and the place where they fell was two steps away from Zhang Min and his group.
Since Zhang Min was walking in front, the hole was closest to her, so some of the ashes fell directly on her head and body.
The sudden change scared the onlookers present, and before they could react, Zhang Min's screams scared them again.
The explosion didn't make Zhang Min angry, but the dust falling into her mouth really made her angry.
She screamed in surprise, then turned and angrily scolded the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, what's going on with your shop? Do you know what the crime is for openly insulting the eldest daughter of the Shangshu family? Do you still want to live?"
At this time, Zhang Min's face, hair and body were covered with debris and dust. If it was under the sun, you could definitely see the appearance of the dust clearly.
She now looked like she had just crawled out of a cave that had not been inhabited for a long time. As she spoke, a small piece of dirt fell from her hair, fell to the ground, and then broke into pieces with a "pop" and rolled to her feet.
It looked so funny and miserable.
Zhang Min was stunned at first when she saw this scene, and then she shouted angrily like a madman: "Who is behind this? Come out here!"
You don't have to think about how embarrassing she looks now. Her image is completely ruined. How can she get married in the future? She has never suffered so much grievance since she was a child. She must find out the culprit and tear him into pieces.
