Young Master

  And as for the land under heaven, it is a place where talented people gather and outstanding individuals emerge one after another. Even those peddlers roaming the streets can come up with a few lines of poetry at will. If they weren't truly remarkable, they wouldn't be remembered by others.

  Xiao family, the Minister of Revenue, had a son named Xiao Heng who was notorious for his absurdity. It wasn't because of his exceptional appearance or because he had a minister as a father that made him famous; rather, it was solely due to his ridiculous behavior.

  He perfectly interprets what it means to be a spoiled and arrogant young master, taking advantage of his power to bully and oppress others, with numerous evil deeds that are too heinous to record. The incident of forcibly abducting a civilian woman today is simply a trivial matter for him.

  In theory, the emperor's feet are everywhere, and the royal family is all over the place. If a brick were to fall, three out of five people would have some connection with the imperial family. Xiao Heng was just the son of a minister, a mere commoner without any official title or merit, not worth mentioning at all. However, he had a close relationship with the current rich and noble King Rui, the third prince. In consideration of Prince Rui's face, people in the capital gave him some respect, which only further indulged his arrogance.

  Xiao Heng was surrounded by his friends as usual, when he suddenly noticed a thin woman in coarse clothing at a small stall. She looked like she was only 28 years old, and despite her dusty appearance, her face was still beautiful. He became infatuated with her and insisted on taking her back to be his eighteenth concubine.

  That woman was a decent and honest person, of course, she didn't want to jump into the fire pit, she refused to budge, hugging the pillar of the small stall and refusing to let go, no matter how hard Xiao Heng and others pulled her, the scene was at an impasse for a while, it was only when a group of onlookers gathered that the previous scene occurred.

  After explaining the situation, both Lan Mei and Su Mei had a hint of sympathy in their eyes. Su Mei hesitated for a moment before looking at Yuan Yi and asking: "Miss, what do you think?"

  Yuanni picked up a book and leaned against the couch, glancing at the two of them and said: "Let's wait until the front is dispersed, then we'll leave."

  The two immediately understood the meaning of their own daughter, and they all lowered their eyes without speaking. Their own daughters were hard to protect themselves, how could they intervene in other people's trivial matters? For a while, the atmosphere in the car was somewhat depressed, only occasionally hearing the sound of Yuan Yi flipping through books, forming a sharp contrast with the noise outside. Lamei has always been restless and couldn't bear the loneliness, so she reported to Yuan Yi and ran out to watch the excitement.

  Before long, Lan Mei came running back, excitedly saying: "Miss, Young Master is here, he's just up ahead."

  Her eyes moved slightly, and she hummed a soft "oh", her face pale, seemingly indifferent, but the book in her hand was never turned again.

  Su Mei stood by and observed, saying, "Miss, since it's like this, why don't you get off the carriage and greet Young Master Bao to avoid being blamed for being rude if Madam finds out later."

  It was unclear whether Su Mei's words had taken effect or Yuan Yi had thought of something else, but he didn't refute her. He put down the book and swung his long sleeve, saying: "Then let's go down."

  And then the case of the strong robbery of civilians took a new turn due to the insertion of Zhang Zhongxi, a talented scholar in Kyoto. The crowd was excited and suddenly saw the curtain of the carriage lifted, and two beautiful maidservants walked out together. Before they had time to be amazed, a tall and slender woman with a graceful figure appeared.

  She was dressed in a water-rippled, hundred-flower skirt, with a light green, scattered-flower, misty gauze jacket draped over it. She stood quietly, slender and elegant, like a lotus flower reflected in the water when still, and like a weak willow swaying in the wind when moving. As her skirt fluttered open, every step revealed a new beauty. They say that a beautiful woman's charm lies in her bones, not just her skin; this girl, with just one glimpse of her profile, had already stirred up countless romantic thoughts.

  Unfortunately, the woman was wearing a thin veil on her head, and her face was indistinct, making it even more mysterious and alluring.

  Yuanyi took a step forward towards the center of right and wrong, facing Zhang Zhongxu in his jade crown and green shirt, and called out, "Older cousin."
