"Look who that is, the way she dressess is so poor." A young lady's somewhat sarcastic voice reached everyone's ears.
Everyone in Tianhe Boutique looked at Banxia who was walking in, their eyes were filled with contempt.
Banxia ignored them. She continued to chose some suitable but not too expensive clothes on her own.
"Miss Ding, she seems to be the young lady from the mansion of Marquis Yao who just came back from the countryside." A lady looked at Banxia and spoke to the young lady who was just laughing at Banxia.
Ding Shuang, the daughter of Ding Yushi, has two brothers in the family. Because she is the only daughter, she has been spoiled and behaved arrogantly since she was a child.
In the previous life, Ding Shuang married Banxia's eldest brother and had a very good relationship with Qingdai. She encouraged her eldest brother to rebel against the fourth prince, and finally made her eldest brother got beheaded.
"Humph! Qingdai's sister is really ugly and ordinary, and her clothes also look so tacky. It's an embarrassment for the Yao Family."
After Ding Shuang finished speaking, she turned around with disdain, as if Yao Banxia was some dirty trash and could only bring shame.
Shaoyao immediately became angry and said: "As a young lady, the way you speak are so vulgar, you're a disgrace to your parent!"
Ding Shuang who heard those words immediately became angry and pointed at Shaoyao and yelled: "What are you saying, little servant? You actually insulted me?"
Shaoyao grew up in the countryside. She has been exposed to the ways of the shrews in the village since she was a child, so how could she be bullied by others.
"Whoever answers the question can tell. Educated people will not ridicule others in public."
Ding Shuang never experienced such anger. She immediately pointed at Shaoyao and said: "Slap her and beat this bitch to death."
Yao Banxia narrowed her eyes slightly. Her voice were cold and sharp: "Whoever dares to touch her will die."
With one sentence, the maid who was about to beat Shaoyao became so frightened that she did not dare to move.
Ding Shuang was extremely angry: "Who are you scaring? I don't believe you dare to kill someone in public!"
Yao Banxia stopped talking and took out the silver hairpin from her hair: "If I insert this thing onto your throat, you will definitely die."
When she said those words, Banxia's expression was as calm as the peaceful wind, but her eyes were cold and terrifying.
She took a step closer, looked at Ding Shuang's maid and said, "Do you dare to try it?"
The maid was so frightened that she quickly stepped back and hid behind Ding Shuang.
Ding Shuang was also scared, but suddenly she saw a figure, she immediately rushed over and shouted: "Young general, someone wants to murder people!"
Jun Han, who was just passing by, stopped when he heard the shout, and was instantly dragged into Tianhe Boutique by Ding Shuang.
She then pointed at Banxia and said, "Young General, she wants to kill someone."
Jun Han followed the direction of Ding Shuang's finger and immediately caught Banxia's figure.
Banxia's silver hairpin was already inserted into her head, and she stood there with an innocent look, allowing others to look at her.
Jun Han was a little confused and looked at Ding Shuang who identified the murderer: "You said the fifth lady of the Yao Family wants to kill someone?"
Ding Shuang nodded immediately: "Yes, everyone here has seen it."
Yao Banxia just leaned over lightly: "Greeting, young general."
Jun Han curled his lips, his eyes full of mirth. "Is it true that you intent to kill someone? Who do you want to kill?"
Yao Banxia was neither angry nor annoyed: "Young general, you can judge clearly whether I really want to kill someone or not, or does the young general found that I have the weapon to do the murder?"
Jun Han looked at Banxia's empty hands and was surprised. He looked at Ding Shuang and was immediately displeased: "Miss Ding, it's wrong to accuse someone without any basis."
Ding Shuang was so angry that she pointed to the silver hairpin on Banxia's head: "The silver hairpin on her head is the evidence. Why do you say that there's no evidence?"
Yao Banxia smiled: "So, Miss Ding's head which is full of precious hairpins and jade beads are all weapons, right? I wonder if Miss Ding wants to kill all of us here?"
When Banxia said this, everyone noticed the dazzling hair ornaments on Ding Shuang's head and wanted to pull away all the hairpins.
Now that the evidences are pointed out, it makes people instantly laught out loudly.
Seeing that she was being laughed at in public, Ding Shuang yelled angrily: "Don't laugh, my father is the Censorate. If you dare to laugh at me, believe it or not, I will ask my father to put you all in prison."
Yao Banxia was speechless: "Truly, the Censorate is so busy, even the one who laugh at Miss Ding could be imprisoned.”
Ding Shuang was immediately embarrassed, and feel angrier.
The young general Jun Han said impatiently: "You, the eldest lady, really hasn't change your temper. Who will dare to marry you in the future?"
When Ding Shuang was reprimanded like this in public, her eyes instantly turned red and she felt extremely aggrieved.
"Little General, how can you say that to me?" She almost burst into tears as she stared at Jun Han.
Jun Han grew up in the military camp and never knew what sympathy means, especially towards the opposite gender. He said very bluntly: "You are also nineteen this year, and you haven't married yet. Have you never thought about it?"
Now, Ding Shuang was so angry that she started crying, she pointed at Jun Han and aggrievedly said: "Even if your father is the General of the country and your grandfather is the Marshall, you can't bully me like this."
Jun Han frowned slightly and said nothing. He didn't understand what he said wrong. Can someone tell him, why is this woman crying?
"It's all because of you. You're an ugly girl. You don't even have your own virtues. You look like a poor ghost from countryside. Why is someone like you come into Tianhe Boutique today?"
Ding Shuang can't do anything with Jun Han, so she poured out all her anger and grievances on Banxia.
Everyone looked at Banxia again, and they all started talking about it.
"She is also a young lady from the Marquis Mansion? Why is there such a huge difference? Look at how gaudy the fifth lady of the Marquis Mansion is."
"And she is incomparable in term of looks with the most beautiful lady, Miss Qingdai. Miss Qingdai is like a flower, while this fifth lady is like a mud in the field."
"It's normal to not be able to dress up when you just came back from the countryside. Look, her skin is rough after staying in the village for a long time. Also, don't forget, Miss Qingdai's grandfather is the Duke of Jin, and her aunt is the royal concubine in the palace who is pampered by His Majesty. As for the mother of this fifth lady, she is nothing more than a child-bride of the Yao Family. Without the support of her maternal family, how can she be compared with Miss Qingdai?"
Everyone said one word after another, and the contemptuous words were like knives, pricking on Yao Banxia's skin.
Ding Shuang finally felt relieved: "Miss Qingdai and I are close friends. Her appearance and conduct are simply a few blocks away from this fifth lady. The difference is so big as if she is not a young lady from a prestigious family."
At this moment, on the second floor, Qingdai's personal maid, Baizhi, was reporting to Qingdai everything that happened downstairs.
"Miss, should we go down and take a look?" Baizhi asked.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yao Qingdai's lips: "It's better for a piece of shit like her to be humiliated. What are you going to do down there? I want to be the most beautiful girl at the banquet. Come over here and help me choose a style."
The second floor of Tianhe Boutique was full of clothes. All the clothes designs, be it the style in a set or in pieces that needed to be matched, are all very popular at the moment. It was said that they were designed by Mr. Mo Shang from Tianji Tower.
However, the price were also very expensive. A piece of clothing can cost thousands of taels, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Seeing everyone ridiculing Banxia like this, Jun Han originally wanted to say a few words, but then he thought about how calm she was when instead he was the one who was shocked that day, so he wanted to know how she would deal with it now.
Yao Banxia was still as calm as water, and it seems as if she has not heard those vicious words.
Shaoyao's eyes were already red, and her little fists were clenched tightly, as if she wanted to rush out and beat up all those people who said bad things about her young lady.
At this moment, Yao Banxia ignored everyone and instead went directly to choose the clothes she liked.
