Chapter 339 – Lost All of My Dignity
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was true that Xie Qiao disliked Xia Yayun, but looking at the rumors out there, she found it strange.
Especially since she was besieged by a group of hooligans yesterday.
Logically speaking, this rumor…
Xie Qiao thought of something and her expression turned cold.
If she guessed correctly, the rumors outside should have been aimed at her!
However, why did it become Xia Yayun…? It was probably because of the Crown Prince’s help.
Even if the Crown Prince was on her side, he would not casually slander other women. Therefore, those hooligans must have been hired by Xia Yayun. Thus, this rumor was a revenge!
She had fallen asleep in shock yesterday, so she did not think too much about it. Now that she had come to her senses, she was somewhat glad.
She lowered her head and looked at the talisman that she messed up.
Xie Qiao got up, threw it aside, and started inscribing again.
She inscribed more as thank-you gifts.
..
At the Xia Residence, Xia Yayun’s father had gone to the imperial court. At that moment, Xia Yayun was still stuck at home instead of going to the academy.
Xie Qiao had won eight first places, so she would definitely be showing off recently. Everyone in the Orchid Courtyard would praise her. If she went, she would definitely be filled with anger, so she might as well stay at home and be quiet.
Moreover…
She was waiting for the good news out there.
The maidservant who went out to inquire about the news came back quickly.
“Miss…”
“How is it? Has Xie Qiao’s reputation been completely destroyed?” Xia Yayun’s eyes lit up as she asked excitedly.
When she said that, the maidservant hurriedly knelt on the ground, “Miss, i-it’s your reputation who has been destroyed!”
Xia Yayun was stunned, “It’s me? How could it be me? Were the people you assigned unreliable?!”
“I don’t know how this happened either. I wanted to go out and ask Third Brother about how things were going, but when I reached the gate, I bumped into him. He said he had no idea what happened to the people he assigned, that they actually replaced Young Lady Xie with Young Lady Xia…
“Didn’t you go out of the city yesterday…? They made up rumors about you. They said…” The maidservant was so scared that her face was pale, and she could not speak clearly.
“What did they say?!” Xia Yayun’s voice was sharp, as if she wanted to eat people alive.
“They said that you like beautiful young men, and that you looked like you were doing good deeds, but i-in fact… it was to satisfy your own selfish desires! They also said… that you were ruined by hooligans!”
With a thud, Xia Yayun threw the thing in her hand over directly.
In an instant, the maidservant’s head was hit and she was knocked unconscious.
Xia Yayun started throwing things around frantically, “B*stard! B*stard! B*stard! How can they do this? It’s clearly Xie Qiao, why did they say it was me?! These idiots, my dignity!”
Xia Yayun merely shouted one sentence, and her bedroom door was kicked open.
Master Xia and Madam Xia charged in.
Master Xia went forward and slapped Xia Yayun on the face, “You unfilial daughter! What have you been doing outside all day?! I lost all of my dignity because of you!”
He had gone to the imperial court, but on the way there, he had heard people gossiping and thought he had heard wrong. He had specially gotten someone to ask which Young Lady Xia they were referring to!
Who was it in the end, it was his daughter!
Why should he still go to the imperial court? Did he not feel embarrassed enough?!
Madam Xia looked at her daughter and felt both pained and angry. She hugged Xia Yayun and cried, “My darling, do you know what people are saying about you? How would the Meng family still want you?!”
Xia Yayun was stunned by the beating.
She had lived for so long, and this was the first time her father had hit her.
“It wasn’t me…” Xia Yayun murmured, “It really wasn’t me, Father, Mother! It was Xie Qiao who was in trouble! It wasn’t me!”
