The next day, Li Wei Yang went to pay her respects to Lao furen as usual but was unexpectedly stopped halfway on the route.

“Isn’t this San Biaomei?” A voice was heard from the pavilion.

Bai Zhi saw a group of young girls approaching and her facial expressions became tense.

Li Wei Yang followed her line of sight and saw a few young girls walked towards her in big steps; leading the group was Gao Min who they just saw yesterday. Gao Min’s eyes lightly squinted, “Li Wei Yang!”

Gao Min was Wei Guo furen and Marquis of Bo Chang’s eldest daughter; she had a well-respected reputation and was also skilled in music and literature so she was well-known in the capitol. Yesterday, she suffered from Li Wei Yang’s tactics so she couldn’t wait to seek her revenge today.

“Li Wei Yang, yesterday you had your share of fun!” Gao Min has a tall stature; she was older than Li Chang Le by a month. At this moment, she was looking down onto Li Wei Yang. 

“I am unsure what is the meaning behind Min Biaojie’s words.” Li Wei Yang brushed off her words as she calmly spoke.

This yatou is brazenly arrogant. A hint of rage flashed across Gao Min’s eyes.

“If you know that I am your Biaojie, why don’t you greet me?” Gao Min’s willow-leaf shaped eyebrows rose, her voiced questioned loudly.

Li Wei Yang lightly smiled, “Wei Yang grew up in the countryside and so don’t understand these etiquettes, please don’t be offended.” After she finished speaking, her eyes turned towards Li Chang Le, who was standing on the side. Seeing her calm expression, Wei Yang knew she must have been the one who instigated Gao Min to seek trouble with her.

Gao Min coldly laughed: “Kneel and admit your fault!”

Her manners were arrogant and overbearing making Bai Zhi angry to the point of reddening her eyes.

Li Wei Yang looked at Gao Min, her face showed a hint of cold malice, Gao Min thought highly of herself so she always stepped upon others as if they were ants. These type of people are very abominable: “Wei Yang don’t know what fault to admit?”

“You are at the very least a prime minister’s qianjin, the daughter of an eminent family. You should cultivate your character and behave ethically but you deliberately covered up your servant’s misdemeanor and continue to make up excuses. If I spread words about your evildoings so that everyone would know, you don’t even have to think of marrying someone in the future!”

Gao Min’s words were malicious, Li Chang Le’s expressions were calm as if she didn’t hear a single word. Li Changxi heard it from the side and her lips raised slightly with a grin. Whether it was dajie Li Chang Le or sanjie Li Wei Yang, whoever fell from disgrace, she will still be in joy. It was only Li Changxiao, although she didn’t speak a word, whose expressions revealed worries.

“So I am wrong from the start ……” Li Wei Yang looked at her as if she was speaking to herself.
“Of course you are wrong! And you are very wrong!” Gao Min raised her chin slightly and looked down at her from her position, “If you kneel and plead for forgiveness now, I will consider letting you off. Or else, if yesterday’s matter was made public, then your reputation will be ruined!”
