Chapter 319: Chapter 327: Just Chop it Off
As Su Wenyue thought this, her intentions were kind, feeling that the young girl was spirited and adorable. However, her focused way of eating caught not only Su Wenyue’s eyes. When the others looked on, reactions varied. Most, though looking down on the girl, chose to ignore it but there was one woman whose attire drew the eyes. She watched the young girl with a cold laugh.
“Glutton, acting as if she hasn’t eaten in eight hundred lifetimes—truly vulgar!”
Su Wenyue’s brows furrowed upon hearing such a spiteful voice, yet she had no place to speak up. After all, she was not acquainted with the young girl, and she could sit there without trouble only because of Aunt Mrs. Pei. Furthermore, she didn’t know who that woman was, and it wasn’t wise to get involved, lest she offend someone she couldn’t afford to and cause trouble for Han Yu. Nevertheless, her gaze turned towards the young girl.
The young girl seemed unperturbed, as if she hadn’t heard the woman’s remarks at all, continuing to eat her own food, completely disregarding the woman’s sarcasm. It was uncertain whether she was too engrossed in eating to hear or if she pretended not to hear on purpose.
“Hey, I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear? Such a lack of manners!”
Listenting to the woman’s continued provocation left Su Wenyue speechless. Wasn’t this just looking for trouble where there was none? How one ate was none of her business, yet she persisted relentlessly, leading Su Wenyue to look again for the young girl’s reaction.
This time, the young girl didn’t ignore the woman. Though still holding a piece of fruit, she had lifted her head and looked at the woman, appearing somewhat stunned but with a cold gaze.
“Why are you staring at me like that? Did I say something wrong? I’ve never seen anyone behave so rudely as a guest in someone else’s house!”
Su Wenyue truly wanted to say, It’s you who are rude, girl! People around them seemed to share the same thought, but none dared to create trouble at the Governor’s Wife’s banquet. So, they just watched silently, waiting to see how the young girl would respond.
Su Wenyue was concerned that the young girl might be bullied, hardly expecting the girl, who seemed demure and lovely, to shatter her previous impression once she spoke.
“Where did this stray dog come from, barking at the Governor’s Wife’s banquet? Nobody seems to know who the dog’s owner is, nor does the dog have any public decency. I’m trying to eat here, you know, eat! Isn’t this affecting my mood? Shouldn’t someone take a stick and drive it out!” The young girl’s voice was soft and delicate, but her words were remarkably aggressive and harsh, not considering the woman at all, straight up calling her a dog.
Su Wenyue glanced over at the Governor’s Wife’s expression, somewhat worried for the young girl, afraid she might have offended someone. However, although the Governor’s Wife looked somewhat displeased, she remarkably held back. Su Wenyue thought it over and concluded that both women’s identities must be extraordinary.
Feng Ruolin saw her sister-in-law looking at the two confronting women with darting eyes, realizing she might be unclear about their identities, so she explained quietly on the side.
