The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

Yueya's voice became low, as if she was lost in that memory. Tears flashed in her eyes as she continued, "The man looked at me and gently took off his mask. At that moment, I was stunned, because the person in front of me was... my father!"

At this point, Yueya couldn't hold back her tears and they flowed down her cheeks. Her lips trembled as she tried to continue speaking. "I never thought I would see him here, and in this way. He looked very tired, and his face was full of vicissitudes. We stared at each other for a long time, and finally he asked me if I still remembered him. I said of course I did, he was my father."

Yueya took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and continued, "My father told me that he had been looking for an opportunity to get close to me, but due to his special status, he had never been able to do so. This auction gave him a rare opportunity, so he took the risk to come here. He said that he knew that my life in Dingzhenlou was not easy, but he hoped that I could be strong and face all difficulties."

Yueya's voice became lower and lower, full of sadness. Her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, as if she wanted to grasp the distant family affection. "That day, my father and I talked a lot. He told me some secrets about the family and the reason why he left. Although the time was short, it felt like a lifetime to me. In the end, my father left in a hurry, leaving behind a sentence - 'Live well'. Since then, I have never seen him again, and I don't know where he is now."

After saying these words, Yueya was silent for a long time, and the sadness in her eyes was gradually replaced by determination. She raised her head, looked into the distance, and said softly: "Maybe, I will never see him again, but at least I know that he is still alive and has been silently watching me. This is enough."

"I remember that when the county lady saw the obvious birthmark on my face, she felt pity for me. She knew very well how much a woman's appearance affects her self-confidence, so she decided to do her best to help me. So, the county lady generously donated a set of exquisite dresses to give to me as a precious gift. And this dress is the one I am wearing now. The county lady told me that this dress will not only make me look more beautiful and generous, but can also be used as a basic model for her to design other clothes. Although the fabric used is not top-notch luxury, it is extremely comfortable to wear, and its unique and novel style is also quite eye-catching and touching."

"Yesterday, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was fine. The county lady held a grand and lively fireworks display. I was filled with joy and could not wait to put on the new dress that the county lady had carefully prepared and go to the banquet. I was secretly looking forward to receiving praise and appreciation from the county lady for my outfit."

"But who would have thought that things are unpredictable. Just when I happily walked to the entrance of the alley, an accident happened! A group of vicious people rushed out from the darkness like ghosts and dragged me away without any explanation! In the panic, the exquisite hairpin on my head accidentally fell to the ground."

Miss Crescent's story was told in an orderly and logical manner, and everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their complete belief.

"Oh my, if that's the case, did this flower-stealing thief have a plan in advance? Obviously, their real target should be our county lady! If this little girl hadn't happened to wear the same clothes as the county lady, the consequences would have been disastrous. I never thought that in this bright and clear world, someone from a noble family could do such a thing..."

Gao Qiao stood in the crowded crowd, covered his mouth with his hands and whispered softly, looking into the distance thoughtfully. After that, he quietly left the noisy crowd.

"Well, what you said does seem to make some sense. Is this all really carefully planned?"

Someone echoed.

"The world is deteriorating, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be..."

An old man stroked his gray beard, looking distressed.

"This is simply nonsense! You are just a humble maid. How can you have the confidence and dignity to wear such a luxurious and precious hairpin?"

Just a while ago, when they were discussing the question about the fabric, the captain of the guards, who had been taciturn and silent, seemed to be suddenly enlightened when he heard Yueya mention the hairpin, and a crucial clue instantly emerged in his mind.

Then, he quickly and swiftly took out an exquisitely crafted hairpin from his wide sleeve.

"Prime Minister Hua, please take a look! This hairpin is the evidence of the crime left by the cruel villain. How could such a gorgeous and expensive item be owned by an ordinary little maid? It is obvious that she is lying! In my humble opinion, this must be a conspiracy carefully planned by Guihua County Lady. Don't be blinded by it!"

The captain of the guards shouted loudly and righteously, while walking towards Yueya with big strides and a menacing look.

When he got closer, he stared at Yueya's face for a long time. However, after only a short while, his eyes revealed an unbearable disgust and undisguised contempt, and then he quickly turned his head away and no longer looked at Yueya.

At this moment, Yueya clenched her fists, her heart filled with endless pain and resentment, but she had no choice but to endure it silently. She really couldn't bear the feeling of being looked at with strange eyes any more!

"I believe you all know clearly that the Zui Fu Sheng run by Gui Hua County Lady has a close relationship with Ding Zhen Lou, and Gui Hua County Lady herself has a close relationship with the young master of the He family. Therefore, I have every reason to suspect that all of this is a conspiracy carefully planned by Gui Hua County Lady."

"Her real purpose is nothing more than to use us to get rid of the Third Young Master and then push all the blame onto this poor little girl."

The captain of the guards was filled with righteous indignation and kept analyzing. His emotions became more and more excited, his voice became loud and clear, and his mouth was spitting, as if he was some kind of judge, criticizing everyone from a high position.

"Hmph~" Lan Wangshu couldn't help but sneer. These reckless people could sometimes really create astonishing "miracles".

If he allowed this person to talk endlessly, he might be able to seduce Miss Yueya. Then wouldn't all his painstaking planning be in vain?

"What are you laughing at?" The captain of the guards opened his eyes wide, and his big copper-bell eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He glared fiercely at Lan Wangshu who was covering his mouth and laughing. The anger in his heart instantly erupted like a volcano.

"I'm laughing at you. You're such a good storyteller! You actually thought I would attack the third son of the Wen family? You must be crazy! Let's not talk about the fact that this matter has nothing to do with me. Even if we take a step back, if it was really me who did it, what would be my motive? Would I provoke him for no reason? Moreover, I don't even know what kind of person the third son of the Wen family is. To put it nicely, I'm just a small county lady, but in fact, what's the difference between me and ordinary people? How can I have the opportunity to make friends with you, the high-ranking and unattainable nobles? Not to mention that you are the core descendants of the direct lineage!"

Lan Wangshu's voice was as calm as water, without the slightest ripple, as if the matter had nothing to do with her at all, and there was a hint of laziness and casualness in it.

Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing the captain's heart, making his face instantly gloomy. At this moment, the captain seemed to be cast a spell, standing there, not knowing how to respond. After all, if he told the truth, wouldn't it be like admitting that the third son had a crush on Lan Wangshu, and was angry after being rejected, and carefully planned such a huge chess game just to play with Lan Wanshu? However, his silence was seen as a signal of tacit consent by others.

"Look at these so-called aristocratic families, they are really going too far! If we allow them to succeed today, wouldn't that mean they treat human life as worthless?" Gao Qiao saw this and quickly changed his position and continued to fan the flames. At this time, an aunt standing next to him followed closely with a basket in her hand, nodding her head repeatedly to show her agreement.

"Who says it's not true? Nowadays, these wealthy and powerful people are becoming more and more arrogant and reckless. We ordinary people can only swallow our anger and swallow this loss in silence."

"Auntie, in my opinion, you are probably a person who has experienced many vicissitudes of life and has a lot of stories." Takahashi asked with a sly smile.

"Of course not! Looking back on the past, I was also a young and beautiful girl. When Rucheng was ravaged by the flower-stealing thieves in the past, I knew the inside story. I returned to my hometown only after the storm subsided. I never expected that such an incident would happen again today." The lady recounted her past experiences with great emotion.

The old lady shook her head and sighed, while putting a piece of cake into Takahashi's hand. At the same time, the crowd centered around Takahashi and the old lady quickly gathered like a tide, and everyone gathered around, ready to listen to the old lady's story.

Lan Wangshu just listened casually at first, but soon came to his senses, turned his gaze to the chief guard of the Wen family, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "What's going on? Sir, the chief guard? After so much time, you still can't come up with a plausible excuse? Then your Wen family..."

At this point, Lan Wangshu lowered his head slightly, took a sip of tea and continued, "We acted so hastily, obviously we were not well prepared! I hope we won't make the same mistake again next time."

The chief guard was about to open his mouth to argue, but was stopped by the butler standing beside him. The chief guard looked dissatisfied and complained to the butler angrily: "Butler, why are you stopping me? Look at the arrogant and domineering appearance of the Guihua County Lady. She is really too arrogant!"

However, the butler ignored the guard's complaint and sternly rebuked him, "Shut up! Stop saying these useless words. Don't you think we haven't embarrassed ourselves enough? Now, you should tell me the truth about why the Third Young Master acted like this."

The captain of the guards was silent and could not say anything. When he gave this reason, he felt ashamed for the Third Young Master.

"Tell me! If you don't tell me, how can I know what to do? Are you going to stay like this forever, leaving me at a loss and clueless?"

The butler glared at the guard captain fiercely, secretly angry in his heart. From the guard captain's expression, he could tell that he had no good words to say. At this moment, the butler became more and more angry, wondering how he could have met such a stupid person. And the third young master was really puzzling. He seemed to be smart and intelligent, but he did such a stupid thing.

"Well... there is indeed a little friction."

The head guard muttered a few words and glanced at the butler secretly, but he saw that the butler was staring at him sharply, as if he had seen through all the truth. He raised his head guiltily, and happened to meet the butler's eyes, and hurriedly looked away.

"Just a little friction?"

The captain of the guards knew that he could no longer conceal the truth, so he had no choice but to tell the whole story.

"The Third Young Master had the honor of meeting the Lady of Guihua County before. He felt that the Lady was very mysterious, noble and cold, and quite intelligent and clever, so he wanted to make friends with her. Unexpectedly, the Lady did not give the Young Master any respect, so the Third Young Master had his eyes on her and wanted to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson."

Lan Wangshu listened to the conversation between the two with his ears perked up, and was so angry that he sneered out loud. It was really outrageous and shameless to the extreme.

It was clearly Young Master Wen who came to harass her, and she just refused. What was the problem? What was going on now? He actually said that she didn't give him face? People from aristocratic families were really interesting. Even the chief guard was so eloquent that he completely shirked his responsibility.

Lan Wangshu's cold eyes swept across the crescent moon exposed to the scorching sun like cold stars, and then he stretched out his hand towards Zhang Cuicui.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Send someone to get the big umbrella from the backyard, and bring an ice basin over, and put it next to Miss Crescent Moon."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

The atmosphere at the trial scene was at a stalemate. Seeing that no one spoke, Hua Qiming had to step forward to take charge of the situation.

When everyone saw Zui Fusheng's servants so generously take out a huge ice basin and umbrella and arrange everything properly, except for the Wen family, they could not help but laugh out loud.

"Thank you for your hard work. My master said that it is not easy for everyone to watch the show here. Please stand in an orderly manner and keep your distance. Here, we have prepared cold water to quench your thirst and green bean soup to cool you down. Each serving costs one penny."

After Zhang Cuicui finished her instructions, she looked at Lan Wangshu and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

"Cuicui is so thoughtful and I really like her. She has worked so hard."

"It is my duty to help my master with his troubles."

Lan Wangshu clearly felt that since she escaped from the gates of hell last time, Zhang Cuicui and Dashu had become much more sincere and respectful towards her.

The girl waved her hand, and Zhang Cuicui automatically stood beside her, gently waving the fan, bringing coolness to Uncle Lan.

"It's so hot, Miss Crescent Moon doesn't have to kneel."

Hua Qiming turned his head and saw a servant quickly brought a chair to Yueya.

Hua Qiming could see clearly that since Lan Wangshu was trying to win him over and give Yueya this reassurance, he only had to go with the flow.

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Yueya was deeply grateful for the kindness shown to her by Lan Wangshu and Hua Qiming.

As for Wen Jia, who had just shown a look of contempt, Yueya had no good impression of him at all.

Regardless of the fact that she had reached a deal with Lan Wangshu, even if there had been no such agreement, she would not stand on the side of the Wen family today. Yueya was abandoned by her parents since she was young, and experienced all kinds of hardships such as begging, stealing, fighting for food with dogs, and was beaten, scolded and humiliated.

If it weren't for the kindness of the He family, who gave her food, clothing and shelter, she would have been dead long ago. It's just a life anyway, so why not throw it away?

Today she must give the Wen family an ending that satisfies everyone. In this way, exposing the evil deeds of the third son of the Wen family will not be in vain for her to come to this world.
