She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Xu Deng immediately picked up on something different from the conversation and said excitedly, "A few children fighting in the Pavilion of the Gathering of Sages tavern? They must be from distinguished families. Ordinary families wouldn’t be indulged by the tavern to disrupt their business, right? Did you ask whose children they were?"

Xu Deng’s Attendant silently resented his master for lacking insight, didn’t he see how troubled he was?

The Attendant spoke vaguely, "Those are just idlers, engaging in baseless gossip and speculation. How would they know about the noble children’s families?"

Xu Deng completely failed to detect the hidden meaning in his Attendant’s words and said in surprise, "That can’t be, how could it be? Haven’t I served from a young age? When two groups fight, they would definitely shout their names and flaunt their family backgrounds, showing off to each other before starting the fight. It’s the usual practice. You must not have inquired properly, go ask again."

The Attendant hesitated, unwilling to set off immediately.

Xu Deng grew annoyed and kicked at the Attendant through the air, urging him to go again. Xing Zhonghe, however, had already sensed something was amiss. Xu Deng’s Attendant kept sneaking glances at him with meaningful looks. What did this signify?

"No need," Xing Zhonghe stopped Xu Deng and instructed his own page, "You go over and find out what happened."

Xu Deng’s Attendant opened his mouth, considering that Young Master Xing would find out sooner or later, and since it was his own page who went to inquire, getting the details would be good. It would save him from the embarrassment of recounting the story.
