Several ladies standing at the door of Xiuhefang stared with disgust at several outstandingly beautiful women at the foot of the steps.

One of the women was wearing an elegant light green dress, with butterfly patterns embroidered on the cuffs, and a hairpin made of Butterfly Begonia flowers on her head.

Her elegant and refined appearance caused the men in the crowd to talk a lot, while some women pointed at her and other women.

When the woman saw Ning Ziqing, she slightly lowered her eyes, with a bitter and sad smile on her lips.

"What happened?"

Ning Ziqing didn't know why, so he came out and asked a few people.

A lady replied disdainfully: "They are prostitutes from Baihualou. They say they want to come to Xiuhefang to learn embroidery. Are they worthy of their low status?"

A woman in yellow clothes at the foot of the steps immediately retorted: "Third Miss, I clearly said that anyone who wants to learn Mrs. Xiang'an's embroidery techniques will be welcome. Third Miss, you can't break your promise!"

After she finished speaking, Ning Ziqing took over: "I did say so, and I will never break my promise. If you want to learn embroidery, you can come in."

Hearing this, the woman in yellow looked at the ladies with pride.

"The third lady has spoken, but you still don't get out of the way!"

Several ladies looked at each other in dissatisfaction, and said with dissatisfaction: "Miss Third, if you want to teach the embroidery method, we can't say anything. But, it's not right for you to let prostitutes come in and out. Come and embroider the weeds." Most of the people who make custom-made clothes are from high-ranking families in Kyoto. How can we wear clothes that have been stained by them!"

This statement seemed reasonable, and even some of the noble ladies and ladies who were watching did not agree with what the noble lady said.

"Third Miss, you have asked your subordinates to learn embroidery techniques from you before. Because you are kind-hearted and pity their situation, everyone also supports you. But later, such bad people as Huang Niangzi and Xu Niangzi who were abandoned by their husbands' family You don't shy away from anyone who has gained a reputation. Now you actually want to let these prostitutes study in the Embroidery Wo Fang. You are so disrespectful of the Embroidery Wo Fang's brand name, and you use these lowly people to do embroidery work, and let us wear them. The embroidered clothes will make us lose our worth!"

A lady in the crowd stood up angrily and accused.

The look on her face was extremely proud, and she glanced at the prostitutes in Baihualou with disdain.

Someone took the lead, and others followed suit and started making noises.

"Miss Third, we can't let them in!"

"Embroidery Hefang must drive out those embroidery ladies with a bad reputation immediately!"

There was a lot of commotion outside, and with their help, the ladies became even more confident.

"Third Miss, look, everyone is already dissatisfied with what Xiuhefang is doing. Don't insist on going your own way and smashing up Xiuhefang's sign. Drive them away as soon as possible!"

Faced with the lady's ridicule, the woman in yellow wanted to continue arguing.

The woman in green hurriedly stopped her, stepped forward and nodded politely to Ning Ziqing: "Third Miss, we have taken the liberty to disturb you. I wanted to come here to learn Mrs. Xiang'an's embroidery skills, but I didn't expect to get you into trouble." , please forgive Miss Third and the ladies, we will leave now!"

After saying that, she grabbed the woman in yellow and was about to leave. The other two women said aggrievedly: "Sister Qiuzhi, we didn't do anything wrong, why can't we go in and learn embroidery!"

"That's right, why do they drive us away!"

"Stop talking. With our status and reputation, we can't cause trouble to Miss Third and Xiuhefang."

The woman named Qiuzhi advised.

When Ning Ziqing heard the word "Qiuzhi", she immediately walked out and called them: "Wait, don't leave yet."

Qiuzhi and the others were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ning Ziqing expectantly.

Everyone also criticized Ning Ziqing.

Yaoyao and Yinxiang quickly came out to protect Ning Ziqing.

"Little beauty, what do you want to do?" Yaoyao asked doubtfully.

"Miss, you'd better leave it alone and let them go." Upon seeing this, Yinxiang advised Ning Ziqing with a worried look on her face.

Ning Ziqing shook his head and said with a smile: "I will take care of today's matter. Why do these ladies and ladies who claim to be high-ranking nobles have such malice towards women who are also women!"

Ning Ziqing waved to Qiuzhi and the others and said, "Today, you can go into the embroidery workshop to learn embroidery techniques from me. I'll see who dares to stop you!"

After she finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, Yaoyao waved her long whip knowingly, hitting the ground with a loud noise, which frightened the onlookers to take a few steps back.

Fang Yu and Jiang Quhan squeezed out of the crowd.

Fang Yu asked worriedly: "Little prince, aren't we going to help the third lady?"

Jiang Quhan pursed his lips and chuckled: "She is different. Why should we help her with such a small matter? She can solve it by herself. Let's go."

After that, he took Fang Yu and left here.

"Follow me in!"

At the door, Ning Ziqing led Qiuzhi and others into Xiuhefang. Under Yaoyao's sharp eyes, the ladies had no choice but to retreat angrily.

"Miss Third, if you insist on doing this, we can only cancel the order from Xiuhefang and let other garment shops make the clothes."

The noble lady who took the lead threatened, and the rest of the people echoed.

"That's right, there is more than just this ready-to-wear shop in Kyoto. Miss Third, you should think twice. Don't make a big loss out of a small gain. You will regret it later."

Ning Ziqing smiled calmly: "It's okay. Since the ladies want to cancel their orders, we won't force them. You can just go to the shopkeeper to handle it now."

Like a punch on cotton, the lady who took the lead was unwilling to accept it and taunted Ning Ziqing: "Miss Third, we are trying to persuade you. It's fine if you don't appreciate it. You even brought these prostitutes in. From now on, you I'm afraid no one will dare to come to this embroidery workshop. If you use these embroiderers, the things they embroider will be as worthless as they are. They are divorced abandoned women and lowly people who make a living by selling sex. This embroidery workshop You might as well change the name to "Xiuchun Tower", it would suit the occasion!"

"Hahahaha...!" What she said made the onlookers laugh.

It even made Qiuzhi and the others in the house, as well as Madam Huang, Madam Xu and others who were standing in the corridor and dared not come down, feel ashamed.

Yaoyao was so angry that she wanted to teach the lady a lesson, but Ning Ziqing stepped in front of her and sneered:

"Madam, you'd better be more polite. How do you know that their situation today is not your fate in the future!"

As soon as the words fell, the lady's face changed drastically, she pointed at Ning Ziqing and shouted angrily: "What do you mean, how dare you curse me!"

The onlookers also defended the lady and accused Ning Ziqing of being rude.

Ning Ziqing strode out the door, glanced at everyone and said angrily: "They are just poor people who were abandoned and reduced to a world of dust. What did they do wrong? If everyone can choose their own origin, who can You will think that you are born inferior."

"They didn't kill anyone, nor did they make money or break the law. They just wanted to learn embroidery, rely on their own hands, and have another skill to survive. What right do you have to laugh at and despise them? We are all women, and you are In high places, most of the people you rely on are either your mother's family or your husband's family. Now you can scold and dislike them at will. But life is unpredictable. Who can predict that one day, the big tree will not fall down and the family fortune will not be ruined!"

"If in the future, some of you will have the same experience as them, I hope you can do better than them!"

The fierce words made Ning Ziqing's own blood boil.

Every word seems to have been engraved in my heart for a long time.

In the past life, if someone could protect me like this, wouldn't there be such a miserable ending?

Everyone was stunned by her words, and it took them a while to recover.

Ning Ziqing looked away and ignored their strange looks.

She walked back with a firm face and asked Qiuzhi and the others to follow her to the embroidery room on the second floor.

"Remember, what's the point of just enduring, caring about other people's opinions and opinions, and living a humble life? You have to live your own life, so you must live a wonderful life and make a world for yourself."

Qiu Zhi walked behind, looking up at Ning Ziqing's back. She clearly looked like such a weak woman.

There is such shocking courage.

It was as if in the abyss of endless pain and darkness, she suddenly saw a light of redemption, piercing the sky and shining into her heart.

Could she have a delusional thought and redeem herself in the future, and still have the courage to continue living...

The crowd outside had not yet dispersed. Not far away, Huo Yunjue was riding on a horse and made a gesture. Wei Feng immediately led a small group of Jinwu guards to disperse the crowd.

Huo Yunjue stared at the position where Ning Ziqing was standing for a long time, with a bright smile on his lips.

The heart of the person he loves is as bright and warm as the morning sun.

In a carriage near the corner of the street, the head of Jiarou County raised his lips and said sarcastically: "This Ning Ziqing Guan loves to put on airs and confuse people. He is really self-righteous and vulgar."

"Sister Princess, she is really not a well-intentioned person. She always likes to pretend in front of others and make people lovable."

Huo Yunxi, who was sitting at the front seat in the car, had calm eyes and no big fluctuations on his face.

"Her brother is really nice to her."

Huo Yunxi paid close attention to the scene that just happened in Xiuhefang, and couldn't help but admire Ning Ziqing for standing up for a woman.

But when he thought about what Ning Zijun said in public in order to protect Ning Ziqing, he rejected his feelings.

Huo Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little conflicted with Ning Ziqing.

The head of Jiarou County noticed Huo Yunxi's mood and remembered the secret he had learned from Yinyue.

So, he tentatively asked in a low voice: "Sister Princess, there are many countries coming to congratulate Your Majesty on your birthday this time. If we can take this opportunity to promote the marriage between the two countries and send people we don't like out for marriage, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

Huo Yunxi's eyes moved slightly and he said calmly: "Jiarou, I have no objection if you want to target Miss Ning San, but don't use me as a cover. Last time you wanted to use my face to fix her problems, I haven't settled the accounts with you yet. Do you want to drag me into the water again?"

The Lord of Jiarou County lowered his head with a guilty conscience: "I did this for the princess sister's good. Without Ning Ziqing in Kyoto, his brother will not be able to pamper her. When they are separated, the family relationship will naturally fade away as time goes by."

Although the Lord of Jiarou County had selfish motives in his words, Huo Yunxi was still moved.

After pondering for a moment, she agreed: "If you want to do it, make it watertight and don't let others see the flaws."

The Lord of Jiarou County quickly nodded in agreement: "Sister Princess, don't worry, you will never miss this time!"
