Chapter 16
“…..Fourth Sister, when you visited my courtyard yesterday, I happened to be asleep. Sadly, my maid Cai Wei lacked manners and didn’t properly serve you, so you generously taught my personal maid a lesson. Unfortunately in the process, you accidentally broke some antiques given to me from my father. That’s why you wrote this IOU….”
When the the crowd heard this, they started chattering once again.
“This Fourth Miss, isn’t she too arrogant? Taking the opportunity when her elder sister is asleep to steal her things. Not mentioning the fact that she was hitting her servant…..”
“Tsk, tsk. Arrogance and despotism, she sure doesn’t lack either of them! Whomever marries her in the future will be cursing their eight future lives!”
“This Third Miss is just too pitiful….”
Bai Ruo Yan was at her wits end. Due to her anger, she could not control herself and directly lash out with her whip as she shouted: “Venomous slandering! You, shut your mouth for me!”
Hopping lightly to the side, Huang Yue Li clutched her stomach and exclaimed: “Fourth Sister, this one really did not speak groundlessly. At the time, there were many people on the busy street who saw that you did not wear….”
“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”
Stomping her foot furiously, Bai Ruo Yan released all the rage within her. She could no longer pay attention to her surroundings as she directly charged forward to attack.
“One thousand two hundred? Why don’t you just steal them??”
“But, that’s what is stated on the IOU right? If you do not want to admit it, I can go find a witness…..”
“Enough!”
Biting down on her lip, Bai Ruo Yan interrupted her. All the while, her hands were trembling non-stop.
One thousand two hundred, this definitely wasn’t a small number.
Even she, a stately young miss, only received fifty silvers from her monthly allowance.
