Lin Ruozhen came back to his senses and apologized subconsciously. Ning'er also stopped and turned to look at the girl. Both of them were a little surprised.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Ning'er's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and Lin Ruozhen squatted down and bowed: "Miss Lou, Ruozhen offended me. I hope you can forgive me."
When Ning'er heard this, she realized that this was Princess Linping's beloved daughter Lou Ying.
Lou Ying was dressed much more gorgeously than other girls, in a long red gown with gold weave and colorful patterns, and covered with pearl necklaces, which was dazzling. Because of the sudden shock, her eyebrows were raised and she was about to explode.
She was guarding several maids by her side, and judging from their expressions, they were even more dissatisfied than Lou Ying.
Seeing the person who offended the young lady apologize, the leading maid scolded her before Lou Ying could speak: "Young lady, you are too reckless! If you hurt our young lady, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Ning'er was also amazed. Even though Princess Linping was of noble status, she did not expect that even a maidservant beside Lou Ying would be so arrogant.
You have to know that the Duke's Mansion is holding a banquet today. Apart from myself, the ones coming and going are probably the daughters of noble families. No matter who they are, they are not someone who can be easily humiliated by a mere maid.
Besides, they were guests at the Ding family, so even if there were some frictions, few people would make a scene in public like this.
Looking at Lin Ruozhen's expression again, it really turned cold. She acted carelessly and bumped into others. She should apologize, but she would not let a maid bully her.
What's more, the Lin family is not an unknown family. Lin Ruozhan's father is a second-rank official with real power, and she herself is not a weak and timid girl.
Although the Princess Linping was a lady of high status and should not be offended, her daughter was not yet a royal princess, and her maid was not a female official of high rank.
Lin Ruozhen said calmly: "I offended Miss Lou, it's my fault."
Lou Ying saw her expression and snorted coldly: "Why, I can't tell you if you did something wrong?"
Lin Ruozhen shook her head: "I was wrong first, so I should apologize to Miss Lou." She raised her eyes and glanced at the maid: "It's just that in the upbringing of the Lin family, there is no principle that the servant should speak before the master has spoken."
When Ning'er heard this, she thought to herself that something bad was going to happen. Sister Lin was upright and proud, but Miss Lou Ying was an overbearing person. She would definitely be annoyed when she heard this.
Sure enough, before Lin Ruozhen finished speaking, Lou Ying's face changed drastically, and she pointed at her nose and said, "How dare you talk nonsense about my family education!"
Lin Ruozhen was surprised and asked, "When did I ever say a word about the Duke of Ying's Mansion? I was just talking about my own business."
Lou Ying choked up. The maid next to her who had spoken earlier said angrily, "Our young lady treated Miss Lin politely and didn't care about your mistakes. How dare you offend her with your words!"
Lin Ruozhen didn't even look at her, and only said to Lou Ying: "Today is the banquet of Duke Dingguo's Mansion. I don't want to cause trouble and disturb the guests and hosts. If Miss Lou doesn't discipline the servants and lets her act unruly, Ruozhen doesn't mind disciplining the servants for you."
As she said that, she pulled Ning'er beside her and turned away.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she was stopped by two maids. Lin Ruozhen looked back in surprise, only to see the maid next to Lou Ying said complacently: "You offended the young lady, and you haven't apologized yet, but you want to just walk away?"
Ning'er was stunned. How could the eldest princess, who was so majestic and wise, allow such a stupid and arrogant maid to stay with her daughter?
Or does the Duke of England dote on his daughter to the point that he is confident that he can handle any trouble?
The maid's words obviously hit the nail on the head for Lou Ying. She glanced at Lin Ruozhen and also gave Ning'er a look, saying arrogantly, "You two offended me, but Miss Lin said a few words indifferently."
She raised her chin and pointed in Ning'er's direction: "What about her?"
The flames of war spread to Ning'er unexpectedly. As a matter of fact, Ning'er was walking hurriedly in front at that time and did not even touch the corner of Lou Ying's robe. It was really unfair to say that she bumped into her.
But Lou Ying was just picking on the weak at this moment, purely to vent her anger on Lin Ruochan's friends, and she didn't care about the facts.
Unfortunately, Ning'er is a soft-hearted person. It's probably impossible for her to apologize for something she didn't do.
She raised her head and looked at the bright and flamboyant Lou Ying without saying a word.
Lou Ying didn't expect that it would be ok for the Left Censor-in-Chief's daughter, but even a little girl who came out of some corner of Jiangdu would dare to disrespect her.
Looking at her like this, Ning'er felt inexplicably amused. Lou Ying really thought of herself as a princess, but her last name was Lou, not Chu.
No matter how much Princess Linping loved her, she could not change the distinction between the ruler and his subjects.
Ning Er said softly, "Miss Lou, Sister Lin and I have other things to do, so I won't say any more." Then she turned to Lin Ruozhen and said, "Sister Lin, let's go."
Lin Ruozhen nodded. She had completely lost her patience at this moment and said directly to the maid, "Get out of the way."
Lou Ying almost screamed, "Don't let me!"
The two groups of people were in a stalemate. With such a commotion, I don't know how many people passing by watched the excitement. The maid who was smart enough flew to report to the master's family.
Shen Cunzhu had just finished dealing with the eldest princess and had just sat down to take a breath when someone came and told him about this.
She was overwhelmed when she heard this. This matter was nothing, just a quarrel between some children, but it had to involve the noble young lady of the Lou family.
On the other side, there was Shen Chaoning, whom Shen Chongyan had repeatedly asked her to take care of.
After hearing the whole story, Shen Cunzhu cursed the daughter of the Lou family for being so stupid. Lord Lin was in charge of the Censorate, supervising all officials and impeaching those who committed crimes. How could his eldest daughter be easily provoked?
She had no choice but to hold her belly and rush to the courtyard. When she arrived, she saw Lou Ying instructing the maid to block the way of Ning'er and the others.
At this time, there were already many guests and servants standing around, and the most urgent task was to quickly separate the two groups of people.
Shen Cunzhu quickly adjusted his expression, walked to Lou Ying with a cheerful face, and said with a smile: "So Miss Lou is here, it's so easy for me to find you. Miss Lou Rui is looking for you, and wants to go to appreciate the flowers together."
Shen Cunzhu is the host today, the eldest lady of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and the legitimate sister of Marquis Shen. Lou Ying gives her some face.
Hearing this, he snorted, "She's having a hot affair with those Wen girls, so why is she looking for me now?"
Shen Cunzhu smiled and said, "No matter how good others are, they can never compare to my own sister." She smiled and took Lou Ying's arm, saying softly, "I'll go with Miss Lou."
As he walked, he turned his head and winked at Ning'er, indicating that she should take Lin Ruozhan away.
Lin Ruozhan still had a look of indignation on her face, but when she saw Shen Cunzhu's slightly bulging belly, she didn't want to make things difficult for her, so she reluctantly swallowed her anger and stopped caring about it.
Unexpectedly, just as they turned to leave, a hand reached out from somewhere in the crowd and pushed the leading maid violently. The maid was caught off guard and subconsciously grabbed the person in front of her!
To outsiders, it seemed that the maidservant was stubborn and held Ning'er and the others tightly, refusing to let them leave.
Lin Ruozhen was immediately furious, and turned around and slapped the maid in the face: "How dare you, bitch!"
With a "slap", a loud slap echoed throughout the venue!
The same thought came to Shen Cunzhu and Ning'er's minds at the same time: This is trouble.
