When the butler saw this, he quickly coughed twice at the young miss from the Ji family, his eyes constantly signaling to her.

Their master, Ji Yongwang, had just arrived in the capital. Although he had the backing from the Minister of Justice, he still had to make other connections!

The Minister of Justice wasn’t the one calling the shots for everything in the capital.

It would be great if he could form a relationship with the censor too.

Seeing that Sheng Tingchun was about to quarrel with Gu Nuo’er, the Ji family’s young miss hurriedly got off the stool and took the initiative to smile at Gu Nuo’er.

“Your name is Zhang Xiaoman, right? You look a little younger than me. My name is Zi, so you can just call me Elder Sister Zi. It doesn’t matter if you’re sick. Let’s just sit down and have fun together.”

After saying that, Ji Zi turned to comfort Sheng Tingchun. She pressed her hand down and said softly, “Elder Sister Tingchun, give my father some face for and let’s find a chance to teach her a lesson in the future.

“Look at how ignorant she is. Wouldn’t it be easy to embarrass her? There’s no need to get angry with her in public.”

When Sheng Tingchun heard this, she nodded and didn’t forget to roll her eyes at Gu Nuo’er.

They thought that Gu Nuo’er did not hear the whisperings between them, but little did they know that the child’s hearing was very good.

She didn’t get angry with the two of them and just took a seat on the stone stool opposite them.

The young girls on the left and right all retreated a little because they were afraid of the rashes on Gu Nuo’er’s body.

Gu Nuo’er was happy and at ease because of this. She reached out her small hand and grabbed one of the pastries on the table, putting it under her hood to eat.

Sheng Tingchun and Ji Zi looked at each other with mockery in their eyes.

This Young Miss Zhang must be an idiot who had never seen the world!

Sheng Tingchun said to Ji Zi in a soft voice, “I know this Zhang Xiaoman. She’s very timid. Go and call for the things that we usually play with. I guarantee that she’ll be so scared that she’ll cry for her parents on the spot!”

Ji Zi hesitated for a moment. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. My father will be unhappy if he finds out.”

“Why not? Everyone who came today is one of us. Would they spout nonsense outside? Besides, even if someone really spreads the news, my father will help you resolve it.”

Ji Zi was still unwilling, so Sheng Tingchun kept a straight face.

She reprimanded her in an unfriendly tone, “Ji Zi, if you don’t listen to me, I won’t call you the next time I go out to play with others.”

Ji Zi was most afraid of being ostracized by the young misses from the upper class. If Sheng Tingchun didn’t bring her to play, she wouldn’t have any friends left!

Therefore, Ji Zi quickly called for a maid. “Go and bring Little One, Little Two, and Little Three here.”

When Sheng Tingchun saw this, she smiled.

She raised her eyebrows in Gu Nuo’er’s direction and said with a scheming smile, “Young Miss Zhang, it’s boring for us to just sit around. Why don’t we play a game together?”

Gu Nuo’er’s cheeks were puffed up from eating. She had only heard a little of their soft conversation earlier.

When she heard about the mention of a game, her eyes lit up. “Alright. What game is it?”

“You’ll know in a while. I guarantee it’s something you’ve never played before. It’s a novel game.”

After a while, a maid from the Ji Manor brought three young girls who were covered in wounds and dressed thinly.

Chains were hanging from their feet and their clothes were tattered. It was not difficult to tell from their exposed skin that they were covered in bruises.

Their eyes revealed timidity, fear, and cowering.

Gu Nuo’er frowned and looked unhappy. The pastry in her hand didn’t taste good anymore!

It was obvious that these three girls had been beaten up harshly.

Their appearance also attracted the attention of many guests, but everyone didn’t seem to find it strange.

They took a glance, then smiled and looked away.
