Chapter Eleven: Rogue

  When sitting upright, the people next to them cast strange glances at the two of them. Xiao Min was somewhat puzzled, but also understood in her heart.

  I'm afraid I must have scared them off with my dignified demeanor!

  Just then, two beggars in tattered clothes walked towards them.

  "Miss, be generous and do us a favor. Give us some food!" One of them, eyeing the exquisite pastries on the table, swallowed his saliva and asked Xiao Min.

  However, before Xiao Min could speak, the shopkeeper's assistant yelled impatiently, "Get out of here quickly, you're delaying our business!" and roughly chased the two beggars away.

  Xiao Min looked at the two beggars' shriveled figures and sighed, indeed, in such a prosperous street, they were still begging.

  Xiao Min felt a sense of unease in her heart, wondering why a beggar was staring at her with an unwavering gaze.

  Maybe it's because modern people are used to seeing those professional beggars, whose monthly salary is several times higher than their own, and they feel a bit unfair! Shaking head.

  Coming back to oneself, savoring the delicious food on the plate with relish.

  "Guys, I didn't know, this time I went to North Vietnam for business, and it was freezing!" A man with a hat and slightly larger nose complained to his fellow merchant friends at the table.

  "The land of Beiyue is fertile and there are many good things inside!" The merchant, who looked refreshed and wore a blue linen shirt, was not to be outdone.

  It's said that the war between Beiyue and our country is getting intense, and soon His Majesty will send someone to make peace! The man with a big nose wearing a hat carefully raised his head, looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to them, and continued.

  The other two were thrilled when they heard the news, but in an instant, their faces were full of gossip. "Brother is indeed skilled, but I don't know if this news can be trusted?"

  Xiao Min was so absorbed in listening that he didn't notice Yueniang being attracted by the masks sold outside, gazing at those colorful masks dancing in the wind, and she couldn't help but walk towards them.

  But unexpectedly, his line of sight was completely absorbed by the mask, and he didn't notice the person approaching him.

  "Bang!" The two of them bumped into each other with a full body collision.

  "What the heck, who doesn't have eyes and dares to block my way?"

  A young man's eyes seemed to be on top of his head, with no manners, scolding and cursing as he patted his body, as if he had been stained with some bad luck.

  The onlookers quickly scattered to the side, everyone knew that this arrogant young man was none other than the younger brother of the beloved wife of Xiao Cong's mansion, who managed the overall situation, and the younger brother-in-law of Xiao Cong, who was revered like a god!

  This scoundrel is usually ignorant and untalented, relying on the protection of the prime minister's wife to curry favor with the powerful in the imperial city, eating what he can eat, flattering and fawning those he cannot eat.

  So that everyone feels extremely disgusted and painful! But there is no way.

  The several men who followed behind him immediately came forward with a flattering expression, one by one nodding and bowing "Sir, are you okay?......"

  Xiao Min heard the crowd gathering and pointing fingers, realized that Yu Niang had been surrounded in the middle, and immediately squeezed over with a burning sensation.

  "It's okay, it's okay!" Xiao Min anxiously checked Moth Daughter's body, afraid that she had been hurt.

  Looking at the ugly woman who suddenly appeared, the arrogant man was clearly taken aback.

  After a moment, she came back to her senses, and her eyes were clearly filled with disgust.

  His eyes finally fell on Yuè Niáng, and immediately shone with a sly light, his face full of lewdness.

  "Ah well, running into you today is also fate!" He swallowed his saliva and gave a glance to the attendant beside him.

  He followed the class, and immediately walked out, with a fierce tone of voice, "Do you see that? Today we met the wise and brave Lin Ye. If it were someone else, humph!" He let out a cold snort.

  Xiao Min innocently looked at these two men who had been singing in harmony, but didn't say a word.

  "Hmph, today our Master Lin is in a great mood. If this beautiful woman can go up and accompany Master Lin for a few cups of wine, then the matter will be settled!" He spoke as if he was some kind of great benefactor, making it seem like he was doing her a favor.

  Finally showing their true colors, Xiao Min wordlessly rolled her eyes at these good-for-nothing second-generation masters.

  Muttering to himself in his heart.

  Before they could even open their mouths to refuse, they were already tightly surrounded by others.

  That man with a sly smile and beady eyes walked up, pushed Xiao Min aside, and before she could speak, he had already arrived at Yuenniang's side, making admiring noises.

  "Oh, what a magnificent woman with an elegant demeanor! Although she's somewhat older in age, this snowy white skin... wow, it's almost comparable to that of a young girl!" His lecherous eyes were already narrowing into slits.

  "I wonder what it feels like to touch her hand?" As soon as he said that, he wanted to stretch out his hand to touch Moon Niang, but she dodged away. Seeing Moon Niang's frightened expression, like a startled little rabbit, everyone burst into loud laughter without any restraint.

  Lin Su-li was like he had picked up a huge bargain, and with a wave of his hand to his subordinates, he couldn't wait to lead the way into 'Guest Come Fragrance'.

  The little servant behind him understood and directly left Xiao Min on the side, wanting to pull Ruyi towards the inside, but Xiao Min was not willing to agree with their forceful behavior.

  He rushed forward, pulled Moon Daughter over, blocked her behind him, and stared at the group of people with a fierce gaze, saying that he couldn't allow such a thing to happen under his own eyes.

  It's even more unbearable to think that I'm already in a precarious situation, and if I don't take good care of Ruyi today, I fear the days ahead will be even harder to get through.

  Xiao Yun Tian's voice echoed in his mind, full of warnings.

  With chest out, looking at the other's sloppy appearance, not a hint of fear, Xiao Min knew that in the Chancellor's mansion, as long as he didn't die today, the consequences absolutely wouldn't need to be borne by himself. At once, with an imposing manner, he faced the crowd, as if saying: "Whatever happens, come at me!"

  Looking at Xiao Min, who was like a mother hen protecting her chicks, Lin Su's mouth curled up in a sneer, but his face was gloomy to the point of being able to squeeze out water. This stinky girl really didn't know how to show gratitude.

  "Little master is in a good mood today, so he can finally see you from behind. Just look at your ghostly appearance," said Xiao Yan, sizing up Xiao Min from head to toe.

  "It's just being given to Young Master, but he still thinks it's an eyesore!" With that, Zhang Kuang let out a strange laugh towards the people behind him.

  "If you guys don't mind, just pick it up and use it!" The lewd smile and one sentence made the guards behind him look like they had been injected with chicken blood.

  They are not some rich young masters, and they still have to give out a lot of silver when going in and out every day.
