Chapter 88: Chapter 88: No One Has to Hold Her Up.

Shen Hua has money, hence even if she can’t hear any sound, she’s willing to throw it into the water!

The person before her dares to pretend and deceive her!

Beyond her indignation, she couldn’t help but be filled with anger.

This grievance is too much for her to bear.

Shen Hua, with a cold face and stepping in her embroidered shoes, strode directly towards the other side. It was clear she was gearing up for a big confrontation.

Over here, Xiu’er, draped in coarse linen and mourning clothes, was handling the silver coins until her hands turned sore, secretly very pleased with herself. These past days she went begging on the streets every two to three days.

Yesterday, she was the divorced wife who, after being beaten by her husband, couldn’t even afford cabbage and wanted to end her life.

The day before, she was a girl with a rough background who painstakingly escaped from a brothel, preferring death over selling her body.

As she tragically thanked and kowtowed, she calculated in her mind. If she met that same girl wearing mink and generously handing out money, she could indeed buy a nice house in Shengjing.

And the price was nothing more than playing pitiful and pathetic.

As she envisioned her happy days, a shadow fell over her head.

"Hey!"

It was the girl’s irrepressible fury.

Shen Hua’s delicate face was full of resentment: "Give me my money back!"

"Nobody has let me fall and suffer losses before! I won’t let it go even if one copper coin is missing! I advice you not to play tricks. "

Shen Hua’s noble hand almost poked into Xiu’er’s face in confrontation.

Xiu’er’s face changed drastically.

What fate made her meet Shen Hua here.

The commotion quickly attracted many bystanders to stop and watch. She was indeed a bit panicked.

"I will give it back to milady right now."

She intended to send Shen Hua away as if she were sending off an ancestor.

One is the looming and imposing Shen Hua, the other is the sad and desolate Xiu’er, forced by reality and with nowhere to go.

It was nothing more than four words.

Bully the weak.

The bystanders naturally sided with the latter.

Someone stopped Xiu’er from taking the money, criticizing Shen Hua: "What’s the matter with you, girl? You gave the silver coins yourself, since when is there a reason to ask for them back?"

"Bullying others because of your status, it’s really unreasonable."

"She’s already so pitiful, her Mama hasn’t even been buried! Why must you make it difficult for her?"

This kind of scene was all too familiar to Shen Hua.

It was the same in Fengzhou.

Everyone blamed her. Standing from the highest moral ground, as if all faults were hers. They would also criticize and nitpick how unreasonable and ruthless she was.

Shen Hua... was actually used to it.

Not everyone was obliged to support her.

Yicui quickly pulled back Shen Hua’s hand, taking out a handkerchief and meticulously wiping it, as if it had touched filth.

She gently persuaded: "My lady, do not be upset, Doctor Ni said you should not have too much emotional fluctuation."

"You were just saying that your hand felt itchy."

Shen Hua tightly pursed her lips.

Yicui soothed Shen Hua, then took a step forward.

"A swindler is also worth your protection. It’s really laughable."

"First, Juchao Pavilion, then Yifeng Hall, I really want to ask, where do you plan to kneel next? Let us know in advance so we don’t encounter you again to upset our lady and trouble her heart."

Saying this, she stood up straight, clearly stating her stance.

"If our lady asks her to return it, not to mention a copper coin, even if it’s a stone, she must cough up exactly the right amount."

Upon hearing this, the surroundings quieted down. Soon whispers started.

"One gold ingot? That’s quite generous. If that’s the case, why isn’t she rushing to go back and bury her mother?"

"It doesn’t sound like a lie."

Xiu’er’s eyes darted around, sensing trouble.

Shen Hua solemnly said: "That ingot of gold, not to mention burying your mother, even if you buried yourself there would still be money left."

Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. Seeing that her lies were about to be exposed, Xiu’er immediately grabbed the box with the money and tried to flee, but was stopped by Cheng Gui.

Seeing this, the crowd’s perspective shifted.

"Under the Emperor’s feet, what kind of people exist?"

"To curse oneself like that, really going all out for silver."

Xiu’er stiffened her face: "Madam, I will return it, I will."

Shen Hua was haughty.

"No way!"

"I told you to return it, but you didn’t, now you’re begging me, I don’t want it anymore!"

Xiu’er burst into tears: ...Where on earth did this demon come from.

Shen Hua was thinking about how to torment her when someone tapped her shoulder from behind.

She turned irritably to face a serious expression. The person was dressed in dark blue cotton clothes, with hair secured simply by a single hairpin.

Casually dressed, but clean nonetheless.

"Shen Hua?"

You Qing matched the person in front of her with the girl from her memory who couldn’t bear the slightest grievance, no smile on her face.

"How have you come to Shengjing?"

Shen Hua was stunned.

It took her a long time to recognize You Qing. It was not her fault, after all, the last time she saw You Qing was seven years ago when she was only nine years old.

You Qing seemed hardly changed.

But seeing her again, Shen Hua felt everything had changed.

The domineering Shen Hua seemed deflated.

For a moment, her eyes showed surprise, unwillingness, and a complicated reluctance to encounter You Qing.

Her lips opened and closed, but in the end, she couldn’t utter a word. Even her head, held high, drooped.

You Qing gave a commanding scan around without anger. This clearly wasn’t the place for a conversation.

"You."

"Come with me."

Shen Hua whispered: "I won’t."

You Qing stared fixedly at her: "Say that again?"

Shen Hua’s heart trembled, and she could only follow reluctantly.

Ningzhu and Cheng Gui exchanged glances, it was rare to see such a madam.

They didn’t recognize You Qing, but Yicui did. She looked worriedly at Shen Hua, feeling uneasy.

Listening to the footsteps behind her, You Qing’s brows furrowed tightly as if forming a single line. She was very aloof: "Why didn’t you contact me when you came to Shengjing?"

Shen Hua muttered: "Didn’t want to see."

"Many years without seeing each other, but you’ve grown quite stubborn," You Qing remarked.

"Three years ago, my Mama and brother died, you despised the Shen Family for smelling of copper and didn’t come to offer condolences, how can I not resent your lack of compassion?"

You Qing fell silent.

The two had nothing more to say, the surrounding air becoming oppressively suffocating.

Shen Hua tugged at her handkerchief, walking a long stretch, her steps vacillating. The most delicate girl, yet stubbornly held herself together, without a single complaint. It’s unclear with whom she felt she was contending.

Until, she followed You Qing to a bustling stall.

You Qing was choosing vegetables.

Seeing this, Shen Hua flatly refused.

"I will not go to your house for a meal. And kill that thought. The grievances between you and my Mama are from the previous generation, when you die, she will settle with you slowly."

"As for you and me."

Shen Hua scornfully laughed: "I certainly won’t forgive you. Never in this life."

You Qing’s hand trembled.

She did not turn back to look at Shen Hua.

"I wasn’t inviting you. It’s just for my own meal."

"I happened to be out buying vegetables, seeing you was unplanned, naturally I’m focused on my own matters."

Shen Hua’s face tightened, she scoffed coldly, and was about to leave immediately.

"Stop right there!"

You Qing reprimanded.

"Seeing an elder and not greeting, whose manners did you learn?"

Shen Hua met her gaze.

She spoke faintly as if a gust of wind could shatter her words.

"I have no elders left."
