Gu Hua Jing's melancholy and carefree tone completely ignited the anger in the woman's heart.

Her eyes blazed with fury, and for a moment, she forgot that Gu Hua Jing wasn't someone she could mess with. She extended her sharp nails, wanting to scratch Gu Hua Jing's face.

A series of screams came from all around. Gu Hua Jing didn't even bat an eye. She was still sitting there looking like a lady from a noble family. The green branch silently retreated behind her.

Under the protection of the maid, that lady also fell to the ground.

The disturbance had attracted the attention of the surrounding people, but Gu Hua Jing seemed to have nothing to do with it. She even had the ability to joke around with Yang Jia Yao in a low voice, as if none of this had anything to do with her.

The women of the Shao family immediately came. It was the Eldest Young Master of the Shao family, Han Wenjing.

"Aiyaya, what's going on? Why aren't you helping the ladies of the Xie Clan up? "

Han Wenjing had an apologetic look on her face as she held her hands and smiled. "Miss Xie's clothes are a bit dusty. How about I accompany you to the back and do some washing?" So let me apologize. "

However, Han Wenjing's gentle voice did not appease Xie Shufang's anger. He had made such a fool of himself in front of Master Bai's eyes that Xie Shufang wanted to skin Gu Hua Jing alive!

"Is this how your Shao Residence entertains guests?!" All kinds of people are invited to enter, so there is no need to fear your reputation being tarnished! "

Xie Shufang clenched her teeth as she shook off Han Wenjing's hand and pointed shakily at Gu Hua Jing. "Don't think that just because your surname is Gu that no one dares to bring justice to us. You dare to make a move in a situation like this! How uncultured!" "Serves you right! The husband doesn't want you!"

Gu Hua Jing's previously indifferent aura suddenly shook, immediately becoming sharp and fierce.

"What you just said … Say that again? "

Xie Shufang thought she'd poked at Gu Hua Jing's weak spot and couldn't help but be overjoyed. "I said you deserved to be rejected by my family!" What? Am I wrong? "

"What did you say about my upbringing?"

Gu Hua Jing didn't respond to Xie Shufang's smug look. Instead, she narrowed her eyes, which flashed with a dangerous light.

"I'm not educated? "I never talk about other people's affairs behind their backs, never talk about them in front of others, and never take pleasure in other people's pain. Tell me, who is uneducated in the end?"

Gu Hua Jing's voice was extremely slow, but each word was spoken in unison, "Is being educated like you? "Long tongue-tied, jealous, and can only privately enjoy the taste of being superior. If that's the case, then I really don't want to be educated in such a way. I guess the Xie Clan's teachings are only mediocre as well."

"You …"

"Oh, I forgot to mention, you're still not good-looking. No wonder."

Gu Hua Jing nodded with a look of understanding. She no longer looked at Xie Shufang, who looked like she was about to faint. Instead, she turned to look at Han Wenjing.

This Han Family's girl had an aura that Gu Hua Jing admired. She was generous and decent, neither servile nor overbearing.

However, her surname was Han, and when Gu Hua Jing mentioned this surname, she couldn't help but think of a sugar-like character.

"Young Mistress Shao, just now, you said something that suits my wishes. The Shao Family is a scholar and should not invite everyone to the residence in case your reputation goes bad, what do you think?"

Gu Hua Jing was brimming with laughter. Her beautiful face was filled with gentleness as her clear eyes quietly looked at Han Wenjing, causing a trace of panic to rise from the bottom of her heart.

Soon enough, Han Wenjing calmed down and instructed the girls beside her in a soft voice, "Miss Xie is feeling a bit unwell. Help her to the side hall to rest. I'll be there shortly."

Xie Shufang was in the midst of her rage, but when she heard these words, she immediately wanted to throw a tantrum. However, the Shao Family's maidservants were well-trained, and it didn't take much effort to get them to leave.

"I'm very sorry for disturbing everyone's mood, but it's not a big deal. I heard that the fourth prince will be coming in person soon. This is really the glory of my Shao family."

"Fourth Prince?! Is that true? will the Fourth Prince come as well? "

Xie Shufang's case was immediately thrown to the back of everyone's minds. Fourth Prince Feng Yao held military power and was a tough man. He disdained false etiquette. He had never appeared on such occasions before.

Han Wenjing let out a sigh of relief as she looked at Gu Hua Jing. "I've startled Miss Gu, but the Shao Family sincerely and sincerely invited Miss Gu to the banquet. I hope Miss Gu doesn't take this small matter to heart."

"Young Mistress, don't worry. Although I hold a grudge, I can still distinguish between right and wrong. Thank you for letting me have the chance to listen in."

Gu Hua Jing's smile was polite, as if she had no grudges in her heart. However, a layer of sweat appeared on the back of Han Wenjing's neck.

Just now, Gu Hua Jing's imposing manner was astonishing, giving her a previously unreasonable demeanor. Although she had already left, the Gu Family treated this daughter of theirs as a treasure. The Shao Family couldn't possibly disagree with them for the sake of the Xie Family.

"Miss Gu is benevolent, then I'll go first. As for Miss Xie, I also have to go and pacify her."

Han Wenjing was well-mannered, but was shocked to discover that even now, there was no trace of complacency in Gu Hua Jing's eyes.

It was as if she really didn't care about what had happened just now. It was as if someone had stepped on her shoe and she had calmly stepped back.

Han Wenjing couldn't compare to him if he wanted to be so neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Not far away, the Second Young Master of the Bai Clan stood. Regardless of the reason for Gu Huanjing's and the Bai Clan's He Li's actions, the relationship between the two of them was beyond ordinary.

But why was Gu Hua Jing so calm? Why did she not care about her and Li's status at all and turn a blind eye to the gossip? Just what kind of woman was she?

Even the Bai Clan looked down on a woman like Miss Gu. Could it be that the Bai Clan wanted to marry the princess and enter the clan?

While Han Wenjing was shocked, Bai Lingtian could not come up with an answer no matter how much he thought about it.

It wasn't that he didn't hear the discussions of these people, but his ears were sharper than ordinary people's. He didn't miss out on a single detail about how these people planned Gu Hua Jing's business.

When Xie Shufang went to look for trouble, to be honest, Bai Lingtian wanted to go over to relieve the situation. It was because of the Bai Clan that a young lady was embarrassed like this.

However, there was no need for that. Gu Hua Jing was not affected in the slightest. She stood tall and aloof, making Xie Shufang look like a clown.

She despised these gossips, she despised them.

However, this was the first time for Bai Lingtian to see someone so blatantly plotting in the house.

However, Gu Hua Jing's strong counterattack was because of the Gu family's reputation, not because of him …

Bai Lingtian could not ignore the sour feeling in his heart once again. He did not know what was wrong with him, but he suddenly wanted to walk over and personally solve the rumor between them.

He did not want their names to be on the same level as each other!

His feet moved slightly, but when he saw the jade-like figure, he could not help but stop.

"Miss Gu, we meet again."

Her smiling tone seemed to be filled with spring wind, giving Gu Hua Jing a headache.

When Yang Jiayao saw who had arrived, astonishment appeared in her eyes. She immediately stood up and saluted, "Young Master Han."

"You must be the second young mistress of the Gu family that Miss Gu often talks about, right?" This humble one pays his respects. "

Han Xi bowed gracefully with a smile at the corner of his eyes, making people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.

However, Yang Jiayao didn't think so. Who didn't know the relationship between Han Xi's and Bai Lingtian's? As soon as Xie Shufang came over to pick a fight, Han Xizhi appeared behind her. Who knew what he was planning?

Yang Jiayao's eyes revealed traces of wariness. Gu Hua Jing pretended as if she didn't see him. Han Xi's expression was full of grievance as he waved his fan.

"I have never understood why Miss Gu treats me so coldly. I don't think I have ever done anything that would annoy a girl. "

Gu Hua Jing didn't even bother to look at him, "It's probably because this little girl likes to interact with smart people."

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"This little girl has repeatedly hinted for Young Master to keep his distance from me, but Young Master didn't seem to understand. Could it be that this little girl wants to praise you for your wisdom?"

Rolling her eyes, Gu Hua Jing's tone was full of disdain. Did Han Xizhi really think that he would be bewitched by her beauty? He had long since been prepared for what he wanted to do.

When Han Xizhi heard this, he actually burst out laughing, his hearty laughter causing people to glance at him repeatedly.

"Miss Gu is truly interesting, but this junior is very sad for what you've done …"

Han Xizhi's amorous eyes drooped slightly and his expression darkened slightly. He looked very pitiful.

"I only came forward because I felt that you were very different from others. If you give up after just a few words, doesn't it mean that I have no sincerity?"

"..." Young Master, please use your sincerity in other ways, this little girl cannot take it. "

She raised her eyes, "Young Master Han and Young Master Bai are best friends, and you should keep your distance from this little girl. What Young Master is doing now, will only make this little girl feel childish."

Gu Hua Jing felt that she had made it clear enough. Even Yang Jia Yao who was listening had an angry look on her face. This Han Xi was actually planning something like this? Was he bullying the Gu family because there was no one left?

Yang Jiayao was about to kick him out when Han Xizhi suddenly waved his hand with a puzzled look, "Why can't I understand what you are saying, Miss? What? What does this have to do with Brother Bai? "

"Young Master Han, my fourth sister and the Bai Clan have already reconciled. Everything that happened earlier is like passing clouds. If Young Master Han wants to avenge the young master, please come openly. My Gu Clan will not disappoint you."

Yang Jiayao looked at Han Xizhi with a serious expression, "But if Young Master uses any underhanded methods, then don't blame my Gu family for being heartless. Fourth Sister is the daughter of the Gu family, and no one is allowed to bully her!"

"You guys wait a bit, when did I think of bullying her?"

Han Xizhi's blank look was genuine. He had always thought that his charm was not enough to capture Gu Hua Jing's heart, but it actually wasn't? Gu Hua Jing felt that she had other plans?
