Chapter 558: Chapter 558: What a Big Tone!
Qingcheng left with Zhu’er and Miao’er, just stepping out of the teahouse when they saw a carriage pass by in front of them.
Qingcheng glanced at Little Anzi once and imdiately knew roughly who the person in the carriage was.
“Miss, this carriage is more grand than ours; which family’s young lady is sitting inside?” Miao’er asked curiously.
As the carriage went farther away, Qingcheng looked at Zhu’er and Miao’er, “The person sitting in the carriage that just left is probably the one you were recklessly talking about earlier.”
Miao’er’s pupils dilated, Zhu’er covered her mouth; the person in that carriage was the Empress. They didn’t expect Zhan Lan, now exalted as the Empress, to still ride in such a low-key carriage.
Qingcheng saw the two were scared and said sternly, “You two need to change your habit of speaking without thinking; otherwise, your words will bring trouble, and even I won’t be able to save you.”
They replied in unison, “Yes, Miss, we dare not anymore!”
The alley where the teahouse was located was quiet, and Qingcheng was about to leave when suddenly, a few playboy young masters ca down from the teahouse.
As they passed by Qingcheng, they eyed her up and down.
A tall man among them said lecherously, “Oh, such a beautiful girl. Do you need us young masters to accompany you around Ding’an City?”
The others coaxed along, “Exactly, let’s go! I’m in a good mood today. If the young lady wants anything, just say so. I’ve got plenty of Silver.”
“Co on, co on!” Soone intended to pull at Qingcheng’s arm.
Miao’er and Zhu’er imdiately stood in front of Qingcheng.
“Don’t you dare touch our young lady!” Zhu’er shouted angrily.
Miao’er coldly said, “Do you know who our young lady is?”
The playboy young master laughed, “Oh, you’ve sent over two more little beauties; bring them along.”
Zhu’er and Miao’er were pulled aside by the playboy young masters, and Qingcheng suddenly found herself isolated and helpless.
Qingcheng took a few steps back, and one of them laughed loudly, “What a pity, such a beauty, but she’s a cripple!”
“Oh, how is she disabled? Tsk, tsk! I’ve lost interest all of a sudden!”
“If you don’t like her, leave her to . I still quite fancy this beauty’s face!”
Just as one of them was about to place his hand on Qingcheng’s shoulder, a carriage suddenly drove from the alleyway and stopped in front of Qingcheng.
A clear, steady voice from inside the carriage ca through the curtain, “What skill is it to bully a woman with several n?”
A short playboy young master touched his chin and said wretchedly, “Oh, what a pleasant voice this lady has. Must be a beauty in the carriage, our luck is good today!”
“Yes indeed, beauty, let us see what you look like!”
The group laughed ridiculingly.
Qingcheng listened to the voice in the carriage and found it sowhat familiar.
The woman inside waited until the young playboys had laughed enough, and coldly asked, “Who are you?”
They burst into loud laughter upon hearing this, and one nearly laughed to tears.
“You ask who we are? You don’t recognize us! It seems like you haven’t been out much; don’t you know Mr. Chen, the Fourth Master of the Chen Family in Ding’an City!”
“The Chen Family.” The person inside the carriage sneered disdainfully, “I thought it was soone important.”
The Chen Family used to be one of the four great families, although now in decline, they shouldn’t be looked down upon like this.
Mr. Chen You stepped beside the carriage, “Who are you, young lady? You sound as though you look down on our Chen Family!”
The woman’s voice inside was cold, “You’re right, I do look down on you.”
Mr. Chen You furrowed his brow, “May I ask who you are, speaking so boldly? What’s your relationship with this cripple!”
As he spoke, he pointed his thumb at Qingcheng.
Suddenly, soone walked by the carriage, and Qingcheng saw his face clearly; he had delicate features but exuded a feminine air.
Qingcheng guessed from the mont she saw Little Anzi that he was an eunuch!
This was the carriage she had just seen, and the person inside was Zhan Lan!
Qingcheng felt complicated; why would Zhan Lan co to help her out of this predicant?
If Zhan Lan only wanted to flaunt her position as the Empress, she would have stepped out of the carriage, intimidating these young playboys directly.
However, Zhan Lan clearly didn’t want to show herself nor reveal her identity.
It seed she didn’t want Qingcheng to be grateful to her.
Qingcheng also didn’t want to owe Zhan Lan any favor, and was about to leave when Zhan Lan suddenly answered Mr. Chen You’s question.
“You just said she’s a cripple, I don’t like hearing that. I have an elder in my family who is a cripple, so what?”
Her master Zhang Zhao was missing a leg.
“In this world, there are always people who look at others with prejudiced eyes, thinking those with physical disabilities are ugly, not knowing that your hearts are the ugliest, the filthiest!”
Zhan Lan’s words were powerful and resounding. Qingcheng had been a cripple for many years, but it was the first ti soone stood up for her.
Unexpectedly, the person was Zhan Lan…
Mr. Chen You was humiliated by Zhan Lan’s words, and he gritted his teeth, looking at his fellow playboys behind him, “Pull this woman off the carriage for , let this young master see if she is also a cripple. What? Did I hit a sore spot by calling her a cripple!”
The playboy young masters exchanged glances and imdiately surrounded Zhan Lan’s carriage.
Little Anzi beckoned, and suddenly, a few n in martial attire appeared from the dark.
Mr. Chen You sneered, “Oh, you brought people. Do you think only you have people on your side!”
He clapped his hands, and imdiately, over a dozen thugs appeared from beside the teahouse.
These more than a dozen thugs quickly surrounded Zhan Lan’s carriage.
The right corner of Mr. Chen You’s lips curved charmingly, his voice sinister, “You didn’t even bother to find out that our Chen Family is not one you can offend! Even though Nanjin has turned into Dayu, so things will never change!”
Little Anzi frowned; this person truly did not fear death. Did he know who was inside the carriage, and still dared to act this way!
He had heard of this Mr. Chen You, who thought his family wealthy and with so foundation, and often bullied n and dominated won.
However, this person was too arrogant, thinking everyone is soone he can offend, thinking he can settle everything with Silver!
Little Anzi looked at the carriage, but the Empress would not outright save an unrelated woman; there must be a reason why the Empress did so today.
Mr. Chen You, leading his family’s young playboys, still didn’t know what kind of person they were about to offend and even called for thugs to deal with the Empress, practically courting death!
Seeing no response from the person in the carriage, Mr. Chen You laughed loudly and looked toward the secluded alley, saying, “Today is really interesting. Quickly bring both that cripple beauty and the woman in the carriage to this young master’s residence!”
