Chapter 1302: 175, Condensation Dew (first watch)

Seeing her little sister being bullied like this, Lin Yuan felt an inexplicable rage well up inside her. Was it just because she had a rash from using skincare products? Did that really justify bullying a young girl like this?

"Hey!" Xia Zheng called out first, but before he could say anything, Lin Yuan tugged on his sleeve.

"Xia Zheng, I will handle today’s matters myself. Behind you is the General Mansion; you cannot let people think that those from the General Mansion bully others with their power."

Lin Yuan’s concern made sense. After all, in the Capital city, the reputation of the General Mansion was also very important. But if Xia Zheng truly did nothing, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself.

"You don’t think I have the ability, do you?"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, throwing out her trump card. Xia Zheng shrugged his shoulders, spreading his hands: "Alright, I’ll wait for you at that tea house over there. If there’s any trouble, have Hai Tang come immediately to find me."

Nodding, Lin Yuan then took Hai Tang and Shui Xian to find Xiao Linshuang.

Even though he said he would stay out of it, Xia Zheng still felt uneasy. He threw his Jade Pendant, which could prove his identity, to Dong Qing, having him follow behind Lin Yuan just in case.

Besides those few men surrounding Xiao Linshuang, the one leading them was an old maid over fifty years old. This old maid had a plump and chubby appearance, her face also full of fatty flesh, but unlike Xu Muqing, who gave off an amiable and adorable feeling, she just made people feel especially disgusted.

Du Ruo and Lian Qiao stood in front of Xiao Linshuang to protect her, but even so, Xiao Linshuang still felt her face get sprayed with the old maid’s spit.

The old maid’s face was full of flab, hands on her hips, her muttering mouth was all frothy with white saliva, which was extremely disgusting.

"What kind of rubbish is this, huh? Talking about ’Condensation Dew,’ it’s clearly some kind of toxic dew! My Missy’s good face has been ruined by your so-called dew! Also, you little thing, your fuzz hasn’t even grown properly yet, and you have the nerve to boast about making and selling skincare products, really taking everyone for fools?"

Xiao Linshuang pursed her lips: "I didn’t beg you all to buy! According to what you’re saying, if your Missy bought my Condensation Dew, doesn’t that mean you are calling your Missy a fool?"

The old maid’s mouth twisted askew, choking on her own words, immediately becoming furiously embarrassed: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about! My Missy is no fool; she was deceived by your glib tongue! Hmph, enough, I won’t waste words with you. Either you pay up with Silver or come with me to the Yamen. Either way, you have to give us an explanation!"

Hearing they might go to the Yamen, Du Ruo and Lian Qiao immediately smirked coldly: "Sister, if going to the Yamen is okay, first ask these burly men you brought to step aside. Our lady is timid and cannot stand seeing such aggressive and unreasonable people."

"Oh! Who are you calling aggressive and unreasonable?" The old maid’s eyes bulged out as she took a step forward.

Du Ruo and Lian Qiao, after all, were maids brought out from the General Mansion by Princess Anle, and naturally had an imposing air that was incomparable to ordinary maids.

The old maid had thought the commanding presence that worked so well within her own household would intimidate these two maids, yet she didn’t get even a glance from them, leaving her feeling like she was punching cotton.

Lian Qiao, with an even more feisty temper, huffed: "Whoever replies is the aggressive and unreasonable one!"

The old maid got so irritated that the corner of her mouth began to twitch: "Fine, you sassy little vixen, smooth talker indeed. I’d like to see if you’re still this sharp-tongued once we get to the Yamen! Men, tie these three up and take them to the Yamen! And also pack up all these bottles and jars, these are all evidence, take them to the Yamen too!"

The burly men made a show of rolling up their sleeves and bending down to pick up the bottles and jars. However, seeing the lewd smiles on the faces of the men rolling up their sleeves, both Du Ruo and Lian Qiao felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

"Miss, run! They’re bad people!" Du Ruo protected Xiao Linshuang as she moved back, repeatedly urging her to flee, while Lian Qiao picked up a stool used to prop up the stall, ready to swing it at anyone who dared to approach.

There were many bystanders around, mostly women, as they had been attracted by Xiao Linshuang’s Condensation Dew before. A few righteous women wanted to speak up for Xiao Linshuang, but after seeing the lecherous demeanor of those burly men, they all became extremely frightened. There were also some shrewd people who thought to help Xiao Linshuang find her relatives, but no matter how they asked, Xiao Linshuang wouldn’t reveal where her family lived.
