Chapter 556 - 286: Can’t Hide_3
Luo Susu claimed, "We’re not speaking nonsense. It’s clearly what everyone’s been gossiping about..."
Suddenly, a burst of raucous laughter like a drake’s call erupted, followed by the voice saying, "Aunt Jingchang, you should at least have the decency to gossip behind people’s backs. Walls have ears, and someone has overheard all that you’ve been discussing."
Qian Yixiu turned in fright to see four young lords in brocade clothing, about fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen years old, emerge from behind the plum trees. The one who had spoken was tall and handsome, with red lips and white teeth, dressed in a red brocade flower cotton satin robe, with a jade belt around his waist and a purple gold pearl hair crown adorning his head.
This fellow might look like a gentleman, but his words were rather indecent—it was no wonder that his duck-like voice was so annoying. She had no idea how long they had been watching her, yet they were still so eager to stir up trouble. Judging by his appearance, it must be Young Master Huang Jinyu.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the four young ladies approached.
Among them were three whom she had seen earlier in the main hall. The unfamiliar face must be the Commandery Princess Jingchang. The princess must be around fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and pearly teeth, and a look of fury in her eyes.
Jingchang lifted her chin arrogantly, looking down on Qian Yixiu as she declared, "You, why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Qian Yixiu hastily replied, "Your Highness misunderstood. I wasn’t eavesdropping on your conversation. I have been standing here the whole time. It was you who..."
She wanted to say that they were the ones forcefully inserting their conversation into her ears but did not dare to say it.
