Did Miss become a nun today?

Xie Yun Chu nodded slightly as a greeting, but Wei Lin objected.

Why were you so polite to him, yet so rude to me?

She looked impatient. Didn't she bring this on herself?

Some people are just naturally unlikable.

Wei Lin snorted, "You're so charming, but you've been following Pei Changfeng around for ten years and he still doesn't seem to like you."

Meng Qi'an coughed lightly, "Brother Wei, be careful what you say."

"I'm just stating the facts. Pei Er brought his cousin with him today. Who are you, and who are they?"

"Everyone knows what you're really after. You couldn't climb the social ladder, so you've changed tactics and adopted the aloof approach?"

Even Meng Qi'an couldn't stop Wei Lin from talking. "Brother Wei, please say less. Miss Xie is a young lady, please save her some face."

"What's wrong with being a young lady? She shamelessly clung to Pei Changfeng back then, never considering that she was a young lady. She has no shame, so why should I save any for her?"

Lan Yue was furious standing next to her mistress. Normally, it was not her place to interrupt when her mistress was speaking, but this Third Young Master Wei was really going too far.

"Young Master Wei, how can you insult my young lady like this in the street? Where is your sense of shame?"

Wei Lin chuckled, "As expected of Xie Yun Chu, even her maidservants are sharp-tongued, daring to speak to me like that!"

Xie Yun Chu immediately pulled Lan Yue behind him, stood up, and looked at him with a gloomy expression.

But this person didn't seem to care at all. "What's wrong, are you angry?"

"I didn't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Yun Chu picked up the soup beside her and poured it over his face.

"Wei Lin, I've been so tolerant, yet you've only become more arrogant and demanding. Do you really think I'm made of clay?"

She just couldn't understand why, when they had no grudges against each other, she was being humiliated like this simply because she was not good enough for Pei Changfeng.

She clearly did nothing wrong; she just liked someone, and that became his reason for humiliating her at every turn.

He looks down on people of low status just because he is the second son of the General's Mansion. If he didn't have the protection of the General's Mansion, what would he be?

Wei Lin was stunned by the bowl of soup she poured over him and didn't react for a long time.

Meng Qi'an's expression also changed, and he quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Miss Xie, Wei San is always like this, please don't be angry."

"Wei Lin, although the General's Mansion is a family of military officers, surely there are scholars in your family? Didn't they teach you how to be a decent human being?" Xie Yun Chu said coldly.

Wei Lin's face flushed red and then turned pale, and the servant was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to wipe the dirt off his face.

He finally realized what had happened, slammed his fist on the table, and stood up, shouting, "Xie Yun Chu, how dare you!"

"I'm not new to being so audacious. You're bullying me, I'm being lenient by not slapping you!"

"You...you still dare to hit me?" He looked at her incredulously.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Xie Yun Chu was never a coward. If he dared to say it, she dared to do it. At worst, they would both perish.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, but fortunately, the street was bustling, so their noise didn't attract much attention. However, the customers at the surrounding tables still looked over.

She sat down again, let out a long breath, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures in her heart.

Buddha saves all beings, the good and the evil, but not the mindless fools. Although she lost her composure today, Buddha should not blame her.

I recited "Amitabha" several times in my heart, without backing down.

Neither of them spoke, and Wei Lin's chest heaved, on the verge of exploding.

"Thank you, Sister Xie!"

Sui'er, slightly out of breath, rushed into her arms.

"Sister, my brother bought me some sugar figurines, here you can have some."

Seeing Sui'er, her mood, which had just sunk to rock bottom, improved somewhat. "I won't eat it; you can keep it for yourself."

Chen Yan caught up and saw Wei Lin and Meng Qi'an, sensing that something was wrong.

Quickly pull Sui'er up. "Sui'er, stop making a fuss, be good."

Wei Lin was furious and wanted to say something more, but Meng Qi'an stopped him.

"Xie Yun Chu, are you still planning to have them back you up?" Wei Lin glanced at Chen Yan and his sister and sneered.

"Wei Lin, if you still have any humanity left, you shouldn't drag others into this."

After saying that, he looked at Sui'er and said, "Sui'er, be good. Come home with your brother first. I'll come see you again next time."

Sui'er looked around the room with the others, tilted her head, and asked, "Did they bully my sister?"

Xie Yun Chu was taken aback. Sui'er stood on tiptoe and reached out her little hand to pat her head. "Those who bully sister are bad people. Sister, don't play with them. Play with me. My brother and I won't bully sister."

The child's words of comfort brought tears to her eyes, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Tears welled up uncontrollably. She hugged Sui'er, kissed her cheek, and choked out, "Yes, from now on, I'll only play with Sui'er."

The little girl clumsily pulled a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped away her tears. "Don't cry, sister. Your brother won a lantern by guessing riddles and gave it to you."

Then, she looked at Chen Yan and said, "Brother, didn't you say the lantern was for sister if we won?"

Chen Yan was at a loss for words. Miss Xie was of noble status, so he decided to pass on his lantern.

Seeing her crying with such distress, he couldn't bear it and handed her the glass palace lantern.

Xie Yun Chu wiped away her tears, reached out and took it, then smiled through her tears, "Thank you."

"Sister, let me tell you, brother is amazing! This is the most beautiful lantern there. He won it by guessing all the riddles correctly."

Chen Yan was a little embarrassed. "Miss, don't listen to Sui'er's nonsense. I just happened to come across it and took it to play with."

Sui'er took a bite of the sugar figurine and muttered, "No, brother went there specifically to win the lantern for sister."

Chen Yan was at her wit's end with her younger sister, so she glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Regardless, Xie Yun Chu accepted the favor and asked the shopkeeper to pack up the remaining food, and also packed two portions for Sui'er before preparing to leave.

"It's getting late, I'll take you home first."

She took Sui'er's hand, ignoring the two people behind them.

Sui'er consciously took her older brother's hand with her other hand and skipped away.

Wei Lin stood there stunned, the last thing he saw was the glass palace lantern in her hand.

Holding the lamp in her hand, it swayed with her movements. Occasionally, when she turned her head, her profile showed a smile. She said something, shook the lamp in her hand, and smiled even more happily.

He glanced at the lamp the guard had been holding all night, and remained motionless for a long time.

The guard asked softly, "Young master, Miss Xie hasn't gone far yet. Should we still deliver this lantern?"

What appeared before my eyes was Xie Yun Chu's tearful face just now. Her eyes were like the moon when she smiled, frosty when she was angry, and when she cried, the light fell into them and shattered into stars.

He took the lamp, thinking that all the other young ladies in the Marquis's mansion had lamps, but she didn't, which was quite pitiful, so he decided to give it to her.

How did they start arguing?

And Xie Yun Chu, he was just telling the truth, why get angry?

Are we not allowed to speak the truth anymore?

Pei Changfeng is right, arrogant!

Who would dare to marry someone like her in the future?
