Xiao Xi Tian gritted her teeth in anger, her little nose furrowed tightly.
She walked up to Yang Jing Rui and, without a word, slapped him across the face…
This scumbag was even more detestable than Lord Wei and his daughter.
No wonder Sister Murong didn't fancy him. With his kind of demeanor, no girl would ever like him.
Yang Jing Rui's head snapped to the side from the blow, his expression bewildered…
“You, you, you—how dare you hit me?” Yang Jing Rui gnashed his teeth, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.
Good heavens, he, the esteemed son of the Prime Minister, had been struck by a little country bumpkin.
Xiao Xi Tian narrowed her eyes. “I hit you, and so what? Young Master Yang, do you think you can do whatever you please just because the Prime Minister has your back? You still have the audacity to call yourself a student of the Imperial Academy? It’s truly embarrassing. If the Imperial Academy has trash like you, it’s practically lowering the standard of the finest institution in the Great Liang Kingdom…”
She couldn’t help but wonder. Prime Minister Yang had lived a life of integrity and was highly respected for his character and knowledge. How could he have produced such a piece of scum like Yang Jing Rui?
“You, you, who are you calling trash?”
Yang Jing Rui clenched his fists, wanting to rush forward and deal with Xiao Xi Tian, but Yun Jin Shan held him back tightly from behind. He could only resort to verbal abuse. “If you have the guts, say that again…”
“Say it again, what about it?” Xiao Xi Tian glanced at him coldly. “I heard you’ve been trying to pursue Sister Murong, but she doesn’t fancy you. Now I finally know why!~”
As she spoke, Xiao Xi Tian took two steps forward and pointed at Yang Jing Rui. “People like you don’t deserve to be liked by girls. Although you look presentable, your heart is too dark, you’re too arrogant, your actions are too rude, and your words are too sharp. My residence used to have fresh air, but ever since you came in, I’ve been smelling a foul stench…”
“Hmph!” Xiao Xi Tian sniffed her nose with disgust. “So it was you, this stinking fish, who polluted our home. Ugh, how disgusting!~”
Yang Jing Rui: “……”
No, who taught you to be so sharp-tongued?
They said the little county princess was only six years old this year. How could her tongue be so nimble?
“Shut up, you shut up!~”
Yang Jing Rui roared in anger, his eyes turning red. “If you dare insult me one more time, I… I’ll sew your mouth shut. Don’t believe me? Let’s try!”
Hmph, a mere country child dared to disrespect him. This was insubordination, ingratitude.
He would find a way to send this brat back to the countryside later.
Was the capital a place for a country bumpkin like her?
“What about it?” Xiao Xi Tian put her hands behind her back, a half-smile on her face. “Young Master Yang, you can’t argue with me, so you’re getting flustered? Did we country folk drink your water or eat your rice? What right do you have to come and yell at me?”
“Alas, I truly feel ashamed for Prime Minister Yang. His entire career was filled with outstanding achievements, but it’s all ruined by you, his scummy son. How tragic, how tragic…”
A scumbag like Yang Jing Rui, if he went to Da Shui Village to show off, he’d be beaten eight times a day.
If nothing else, guys like Du Jin Qiang and Fu Xiao Qiang, who were just growing up, wouldn’t let him off…
How dare he openly look down on country folk? Who did he think he was?
“I told you, you shut up, shut up!~” Yang Jing Rui yelled, his eyes bloodshot.
Seizing an opportunity when Yun Jin Shan wasn’t paying attention, he suddenly shook him off. Yun Jin Shan cried out and sat on the ground. Then, Yang Jing Rui charged at Xiao Xi Tian menacingly. “You little brat, I’ll sew your mouth shut right now, right now…”
He had never suffered such humiliation in his life.
If he didn’t regain his dignity today, how could he possibly mix in the capital from now on?
“You dog, stop right there!~” Yun Jin Shan shouted and quickly got up. “Little Aunt, be careful! This dog is crazy…”
Yang Jing Rui instantly reached Xiao Xi Tian. Yun Jin Shan couldn’t stop him.
Little Aunt looked so soft and delicate. If Yang Jing Rui hit her, could she endure it?
Steward Li was also extremely anxious, warning Yang Jing Rui, “Young Master Yang, if you dare to touch the little county princess, the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince will not let you off lightly…”
To dare to touch even the Emperor’s people, this Young Master Yang was truly cutting off his own future.
But the impulsive Yang Jing Rui, like a mad bull, couldn’t hear anything. He raised his palm and slapped towards Xiao Xi Tian’s face. “Little brat, die!~”
Xiao Xi Tian’s expression turned stern. She grabbed a hammer from her space, ready to teach him how to behave, when suddenly she heard a ‘whoosh’. A small stone, like a shooting star, struck Yang Jing Rui directly on the forehead…
He let out a pained cry, clutching his forehead, and collapsed onto the ground.
Turning his head, he saw Xiao Jie Kong walking over with a dark expression, a few small stones in his hand.
He had been sleeping on the wall, and as he slept, he heard shouting from the back garden…
The little monk ran over and saw a big boy bullying Sister Xi Tian, even about to hit her.
Xiao Jie Kong was so angry he almost threw his flying knife and killed the dog.
“Hey, who were you calling a little brat just now? You’d better say it again!~”
Xiao Jie Kong pulled Xiao Xi Tian behind him, then stepped on Yang Jing Rui’s face. “Whose seed are you, to dare disrespect Sister Xi Tian? How did your parents raise you? Don’t you know to treat others with courtesy when you’re outside?”
Yang Jing Rui’s face was imprinted with several footprints, and his forehead had a lump the size of a fist after being hit, making him look quite comical…
“Get lost! My business doesn’t concern you, you little brat!” Yang Jing Rui said fiercely.
Xiao Jie Kong heard this and let out a ‘tsk’. “You seem unconvinced. Alright then, today I’ll let you know why the flowers are so red…”
Hmph, dealing with scum like this, Xiao Jie Kong could handle him with one hand.
Under the astonished gazes of Xiao Xi Tian and Yun Jin Shan, Xiao Jie Kong lifted Yang Jing Rui with one hand, then raised him high above his head, glancing towards the pond…
“Uh, since you’re a weakling, why don’t you go into the water to cool off!~”
As he spoke, Xiao Jie Kong threw him forcefully. With a ‘whoosh’, Yang Jing Rui, like a tattered sack, fell into the pond with a splash…
It was rather amusing. Before Xiao Xi Tian came to the Yun Residence, Steward Li had already raised many turtles in the pond.
These carnivorous turtles, upon seeing a fresh, living person fall in, began to swarm towards Yang Jing Rui…
