Chapter 97 - Rogue
"Third Sister is too self-apologetic, and today you are the one who stole the limelight." Nangong Lin covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Lin with a wry smile and deliberately asked, "Does the Fourth sister really want to be in the limelight?"
Nangong Lin was speechless, did she want to admit that she wanted to be in the limelight?
It would only make people laugh! It would ruin her reputation! This Nangong Yue was really hateful!
Nangong Lin was so angry that she could only say in a firm voice: "Third sister, how can you talk like that! I didn't say I wanted to be in the limelight."
"If that's the case, why would Fourth Sister think that I'm trying to make a name for myself by winning the competition?" Nangong Yue said, pretending to be surprised.
Nangong Lin's mouth was agape, she didn't mean that at all, but what she had just said seemed to reveal that meaning. Damn, she had actually been trapped by Nangong Yue!
"Fourth sister, it's good for the third sister to win the quiz competition, it has nothing to do with being in the limelight or not." Nangong Zheng's tone showed a trace of displeasure, "If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak, so as not to make others misunderstand. In front of your own sisters, we can still understand your youthful ignorance, but if this were outside, it would be the reputation of the Nangong House that would be affected."
If Nangong Zheng went to her grandmother Su Shi to complain, she might have to suffer another punishment. But in her heart, she was indignant. The two of them were the first daughters of the Di family, and they were all in the same boat, so she couldn't beat them. But Nangong Yue is now looking more and more outstanding, and she is catching up with Nangong Zheng. Is Nangong Zheng not jealous at all? No! She didn't believe that Nangong Zheng was so generous!
Su Qingping smiled and stepped forward to round up the situation: "Just as Zheng Jie Er said, Lin Jie Er is young, so you, as older sisters, should teach her well."
Nangong Lin gave Su Qingping a grateful look and thought to herself, "Yes, she is younger than all of them, even if she said something wrong, just say it nicely, why do you have to beat people up and shake their faces at every turn?
Nangong Yue said nonchalantly: "What Ping Biaogu said is true, me and my elder sister, as well as my second sister, will certainly teach my fourth sister well in the future." At the end of the sentence, there was something meaningful in her tone.
Nangong Lin almost wanted to say that she was fine and didn't need to be taught, but once she thought of what had just happened, she swallowed hard.
At this moment, Su Qingping suddenly pointed to a stall across the street and said, "Hey, are they selling green bean cakes there?" It was obvious that she was going to change the subject.
"Brother, can I go over and buy a few?" Surprisingly, Nangong Yan, who had always been quiet, actually spoke up.
Nangong Sheng nodded and said, "If you want, let the maid go over."
Nangong Yan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Yiniang likes to eat this, so I want to pick out some flavours for her myself."
"Big brother, why don't we go over together and take some back for grandmother, mother and aunt?" Nangong Zheng suggested.
"It's fine." Nangong Sheng nodded his head and agreed.
In this way, a group of people flocked to the stall across the street again.
The stall was manned by a chubby middle-aged lady, who was all smiles when she saw how many people had arrived, and greeted the crowd with great diligence.
Nangong Yue saw that the stall and the stall owner were quite clean, and the cakes looked good, so she followed suit and bought a few. As she was telling Yi Mei to put away the green bean cakes, a large wave of people suddenly came over, and several people shouted, "Look! The dragon and lion dances are coming!"
With these shouts, the crowd of pedestrians all around her burst into a frenzy, as if a river was flowing into the sea and rushing frantically in the same direction.
In just a snap of her fingers, Nangong Yue was pushed and shoved by the crowd for a long way, "Yimei ......" She turned her head to look for Yimei and the rest of Nangong's family, but after looking most of the way around, she saw that everywhere she looked there was a black mass of people, and there were no familiar faces in sight.
Nangong Yue tried to get out of the crowd several times, but she could only passively walk further and further away, she was so crowded that she could not turn around and could only helplessly continue to walk with the crowd.
The sound of drums, gongs and cheers came from time to time, and the dancing red dragon could occasionally be seen in front of her, but Nangong Yue did not care to enjoy it. She had been walking with the crowd for almost a tea time when she finally saw a small alleyway next to her and rushed to turn into it, finally relieved.
She had to reunite with her family quickly!
Nangong Yue walked towards the alleyway for a while, but found that it was actually a dead end and there was no way to get out.
Nangong Yue turned back to look at the entrance of the alley, although the flow of people has now ceased to surge, but still very crowded, as if a brick wall blocked the exit.
As of now, it seems that the best option for her is to stay in the alley and wait for the crowd to disperse, or for someone from the Mansion to come ......
Nangong Yue looked around again, but heard a man's frivolous laughter suddenly coming from behind her: "Yo, everyone, come take a look, there is a little beauty here, although her body has not yet grown, but this skin looks really good, ice skin and jade bone is not too much, right?"
"Yes, yes, boss. Look at the clothes she's wearing, tsk tsk, the material is so good, she's the daughter of a big family. If we can hold her, we can get a lot of money for her." Another shrill male voice chimed in flatteringly.
"More than that, maybe they'll even make the boss their son-in-law." The second boy laughed playfully.
Nangong Yue laughed coldly in her heart, who would dare to think of her? She quickly took out the Soul-Sealing Scatter from her belt and slowly turned around, only to see three vulgar men standing at the entrance of the alley, followed by five or six others.
"I don't dare to think about being the son-in-law of a noble family, but it would be nice to catch this little beauty in exchange for a few silver pieces!" The man who spoke was a man in his twenties in brocade, from the sound of his voice he should have been the first to speak, but he had slightly scattered eyebrows, eyes as big as cows, slightly dark skin, and his fingers were swirling his nostrils, he looked extremely lewd.
" Boss said right." A skinny, long-faced young man to his left said curtly.
"The boss ......" another short and fat man rubbed his hands, "the brothers have not had meat for several days. This little beauty, a little small, but it is better than a woman, but still a young girl. " He said, with a lustful glint in his eyes.
Nangong Yue looked at the few people in front of her with disgust. From the looks of it, they were just ordinary punks, and it wasn't particularly difficult to deal with them. If they dared to make a move, she would definitely not be merciful and teach them the power of her homemade Ecstasy powder.
The boss slapped "chubby face" on the back of the head, and said fiercely: "What do you know, what kind of beauty can't be found if you have money? The most important thing is to catch this little beauty for money !"
"Zhu San, the boss is right. If this beauty doesn't want to behave, we'll be left with no money." The thin face shook his head and said, "I've heard that these young girls from big families are very particular about their honour, sometimes they want to die, so if this person dies, we won't get any money."
Nangong Yue didn't let her guard down, she didn't believe that these punks would be so "kind" as to seek only money and not sex.
"Then what do you think we should do, Dog Two?" Zhu San was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, "Catching her for money? Who knows if she's really a young girl from a big family, maybe she's just a maid! I've heard that some maids are dressed no worse than the masters."
"Well, Zhu San has a point!" The boss rubbed his chin with a glint of calculation in his eyes, "If it's just a little maid, that won't change much money."
"Boss, I have an idea." Dog Two said in a hurry.
"Speak!"
"Whether it's a girl or a maid, just sell her for money, so far away that no one knows." Dog Two said with glowing eyes:"This little beauty may have her face covered by a mask, but from my experience, she must be very good looking! This young girl is easy to train, there are plenty of people who want her, and the price is certainly not low."
"Good idea." The boss nodded approvingly, and with a wave of his hand, he led the two men towards Nangong Yue, "Catch her for me first, take off the mask and check the goods, in case we receive a pockmarked child, it would be a big loss."
"Yes, Boss." Zhu San was the first to rush towards Nangong Yue, "Let me help you check the goods first, Boss."
Nangong Yue's body did not move, planning to wait for the one called Zhu San to rush to him, and then use the Ecstasy powder to deal with him. However, it would be better to capture the king before the traitor,so it would be better to capture the boss!
Unfortunately, Nangong Yue had no chance to strike, but at this moment, a white figure swept by like lightning, blocking Nangong Yue's front, and punched Zhu San's fat face hard.
"Ah!" Zhu San let out a pig-like scream, covering his nose in pain as blood trickled down from his fat fingers.
The white shadow turned its head and looked at Nangong Yue, unable to hide the concern in its tone, asking, "Stinky girl, are you alright?"
Nangong Yue was shocked to see that the visitor was Xiao Yi, who was still wearing the pig's head mask on his face.
She suppressed the surprise in her heart and shook her head at Xiao Yi, "I'm fine."
Seeing that Nangong Yue was fine, Xiao Yi heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the gangsters with blazing eyes.
Zhu San covered his face in embarrassment, and walked to the boss' side screaming in pain, crying and howling: "Boss, you have to avenge the little one."
"Go, useless thing!" The boss rudely pushed Zhu San away, looked at Xiao Yi, and cursed fiercely: "Boy, you'd better not meddle in other people's business, or you will lose your life!"
Xiao Yi did not move his body and looked at them calmly, smiling lightly, "Oh, is that so? But I can't just ignore this, this girl won me at Shenghua Restaurant. If something happens to her now, maybe people will think I'm the one who can't afford to lose and kill her! At that even I explain it is useless" Although he was smiling lightly, his eyes were as cold as a thousand years of ice when he looked at the gangsters.
