When Xu saw Roman standing on the steps with her hands on her hips, her eyes immediately turned upside down and she cursed in a shrill voice: "Oh, who was it? It turned out to be a dog beside the princess."

"Why, you dare to speak so arrogantly to the master? If you don't know, you might think that our Li family is not upright and can't even discipline servants. How dare you climb over the master's head and act wildly?"

What she meant was that Li Shuang was disloyal and unfilial, and that even her servants had lost their manners.

The two guards guarding the gate of Prince Heng's Mansion looked at each other and did not make any move. As long as they did not come to Prince Heng's Mansion, they would just stand by and watch.

“Heh.” Roman sneered, “The Second Madam is a good trainer, but I don’t know what rules have made you disregard even the Heavenly Family and dare to come to the gate of Prince Heng’s mansion to pick on the mistress of the mansion!”

"Don't say that my princess doesn't know which direction the door of your Li Mansion faces. Even now, your whole family, young and old, still lives in the mansion of the eldest son, enjoying everything that the master risked his life for on the battlefield."

"If we really want to follow some rules, the king comes first and the ministers come second. You should greet the princess first. That's the proper rule. As for whether you are an elder or not, oh, not everyone deserves these two words."

"You!" Xu was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

The people started to point fingers at Li Shuangwan and turned to the second wife.

"Yes, he is too bold. He doesn't even take the royal family seriously. He dares to curse at the gate of the palace so early in the morning. He is too rude."

"That's right. I also heard that most of the things awarded to the General's Mansion by the palace were taken by the Second Wife. Otherwise, how could the Second Wife, a small official of the fifth rank, have so much money when he has concubines and wears gold and silver jewelry?"

"That's right. You have accepted the favor from others, but you want to act like an elder in front of their daughter or the princess. How can you be so shameless? This is really like eating with the bowl in hand and cursing after putting down the chopsticks."

WTF.

“You, you, you! You have such a sharp tongue, I’ll tear you apart!” Xu felt dizzy from the words of the people around her. She immediately lifted up her skirt, walked up the stairs, and pounced towards Roman.

She was born in a poor family and had a shrewish look about her. When Roman provoked her and the common people added fuel to the fire, she suddenly became ferocious, with her triangular eyes erect, like a mad dog.

Li Shuangxi hurried forward to pull her: "Mother, mother, this is the gate of Prince Heng's Mansion, please don't be impulsive. Today is the centenary of my great-grandfather's birthday, and we still have to follow my eldest sister to the White Horse Temple."

Xu was so angry that she fainted. She refused to listen to any advice and raised her hand to slap him.

Li Shuangxi also hurried up the stairs to pull it, but Xu Xu pushed her hard in the direction of Roman.

Because they were going to the White Horse Temple, Li Shuangxi got up early and dressed up nicely. She wore a plain dress with a light blue cloak over it. The cloak was thrown to her by Li Shuangmiao because he thought it was too plain.

Although Li Shuangxi felt aggrieved, she and her daughter had been tortured by the Xu family in the backyard, so how could they have such a good thing? They had kept it like a treasure and only took it out today to wear it.

She was two years younger than Li Shuangmiao and was a few centimeters shorter than Li Shuangmiao. When she put on such a cloak, some of it dragged on the ground.

After being pushed so hard by Xu, the maid didn't have time to help her. She was tripped by her cloak and fell towards Roman.

How could Roman be fooled by her and jumped away immediately.

Li Yuanming quickly got off the horse, but it was too late. He heard a thud and Li Shuangxi fell heavily to the ground and rolled down the steps.

In order to protect his face from injury, Li Shuangxi almost instinctively covered his head with his hands, and only heard a crisp sound of broken bones in his ears.

There was sudden silence at the door. Li Shuangmiao in the carriage was so frightened that he trembled a few times and curled up into a ball.

Li Shuangxi was in so much pain that she almost fainted. Tears welled up immediately. Li Yuanming helped her up and said, "Third sister, how are you?"

Li Shuangxi's face turned pale, with cold sweat on her forehead: "Second brother, my hand, my hand seems to be broken..."

Luo Man screamed immediately, "Oh my God, the Third Miss's hand is broken. Second Madam, although the Third Miss is a concubine's daughter, you can't abuse her like this, right in front of the Prince Heng's mansion. After all, she calls you mother, how could you have the heart to do that to her?"

The people were also excited.

"Yes, how can you take your anger out on a concubine's daughter? She's still just a child."

"How pitiful! This happened in public. If this happened behind people's backs, I don't know how they would torture a concubine's daughter. Look at this girl, she is skinny, and it's obvious that she doesn't even have a full meal on a daily basis."

"Tsk tsk, the hand is broken. If it can't be healed, it will ruin the girl's life. How vicious is the mind."

"That's enough, stop talking!" Li Yuanming picked up Li Shuangxi and said to Li Huaiyi, who was still sitting quietly in the carriage, "Father, I'm sending my third sister to see a doctor."

Li Huaiyi didn't even lift the curtain of the carriage to take a look from beginning to end, he just hummed in a deep voice.

How could Xu agree? "Yuanming, you are the eldest son of the second wife, and she is just a concubine's daughter who is not presentable. Why do you need to go in person? We have to go up the mountain soon, and we can't let her business be delayed. Just let the servants take her there."

Li Yuanming was extremely disappointed with his mother. At this time, with so many people around, she still didn't know where she was wrong. She could even say such words. It was really unacceptable to even pay attention to her.

Zhou Caiyao appeared at this time. She had seen everything that had happened clearly from behind the door. The couple from the second branch of the Li family were both stupid and selfish.

Seeing so many people gathered at the gate of Prince Heng's mansion, Zhou Caiyao felt that it was time for her to show up.

"Second Aunt, Third Sister is so badly injured, why didn't you let Second Brother take her to see a doctor first? If she becomes disabled, how will Third Sister get married in the future?"

"A Wan? No, you are not A Wan." When Xu saw Zhou Caiyao for the first time, she called out subconsciously, but when she looked clearly, she knew that this was not her.

She scanned Zhou Caiyao from head to toe with cold eyes and said, "Who was that? It turns out to be the abandoned country girl from the eldest wife whose real identity is unknown."

These words were really harsh to hear. In the past month, she had attended countless large and small gatherings of noble ladies in the capital with Princess Jianing. She hated it most when people said that she was a wild girl abandoned by the General's Mansion.

"Oh, so she is the second daughter of the General's Mansion who became an actress."

"What second young lady? She's not even on the family tree. Don't you hear people calling her Miss Yao? I can't tell if it's true or not."

Zhou Caiyao's eyes immediately turned red with anger. Just as she was about to explode, she heard a soft voice coming from behind her.
