Chapter 107
The women were getting more agitated in their tirade . "What are you putting on airs for? Aren't you just the official eldest daughter? Your waist is like a water bucket . Prince Hao wouldn't accept you unless his eyes have gone blind!"

"I am able to skip meals if that is what it takes . What about you? You're as gaunt as a plank of dry wood, and even have a hidden disease . "
One of the woman's anger got the better of her as she advanced several steps, planning to hit the other woman . "Nonsense, clean out your mouth! Who did you say has a hidden disease?!"
Su Xi-er couldn't help but shake her head . She then crouched down and picked up two stones . With a flick of her wrist, the stones struck both of their knees .
The two women immediately cried out in agony; directly kneeling on the ground from the pain in their knees .
Everyone was dumbstruck . The two haven't even started fighting yet . Why are they already kneeling on the ground?

The scene quietened down all at once, allowing Su Xi-er to break the silence . "I heard that Beimin's Prince Hao is extremely cruel, and hates people talking about him behind his back the most . Perhaps Prince Hao's imperial guards have long overheard your conversation, and will wait until the wee hours of the night to gouge out your eyeb . a . l . l . s . "
Everyone's gaze landed on Su Xi-er, their eyes involuntarily widening at her stunning beauty .
The two women crawled up from the floor, their fury now locked onto Su Xi-er . "Where did you pop out from? You actually dared to interfere with my matters . I see that you're tired of living . "
Su Xi-er smiled . "My words were just to scare you two . However, people with status do in fact hate people randomly talking about them . I suggest that the both of you immediately return home and improve your figures or treat your hidden disease . "
Someone chimed in, "That's right! With both of you making a fuss here and blocking the whole street, how are we going to do business? Aren't you just a landlord's daughter? And aren't you just related to some ministers in the court?"

"However, that minister relative of yours doesn't attach any importance to you . You have long pa . s . sed the prime of your youth, but why hasn't your minister relative found a marriage for you?"
Resentment glimmered in the two women's eyes as the sounds of disparagement from the surroundings lingered incessantly in their ears . They knew that all these people like beauties . They must be helping this woman who suddenly popped out just because she's beautiful!
We have lost . Lost in not being beautiful . The two women clenched their teeth and turned to leave . Hmph, we'll fix her and make her bear the consequences sooner or later .
Even after the two women left, the crowd still hadn't dispersed, but were instead staring at Su Xi-er . The middle-aged woman closest to Su Xi-er had a concerned expression on her face . "Miss, you have to be careful . Those two women are Landlord Wei's official and concubine-born daughters . They have a distant relative who is the Imperial Guard Army Commander in court . "

Such a coincidence! These women are 'related' to Wei Mohai . Since that's the case, I will have to treat them properly .
At this moment, an imperial guard urged the horse carriage and slowly steered it over, forcing the crowd to disperse a little .
Su Xi-er smiled at the middle-aged woman before turning around to get into the horse carriage . Although the carriage was ordinary, it was slightly more s . p . a . cious than a common one .
The crowd separated into two rows on their own, and watched as the horse carriage travelled into the distance . Only after it had disappeared from their sight did they come back to their senses .
"Was that woman a daughter of an eminent family?"
"Although her demeanour and appearance did match those of a n . o . ble daughter's, according to Nanzhao's rules, those daughters have to stay in their boudoirs . How is it possible for them to leave the residence?"
"Perhaps… she just came to Nanzhao, and her family is slightly wealthy . "
Everyone accepted the last theory . Regardless of whether her family was wealthy or whether she was the daughter of an eminent family, her appearance had left a deep impression in the minds of these people .
Furthermore, she hadn't expended any physical strength, but relied on her wisdom to make those two unruly women retreat, causing a trace of respect to involuntarily arise in everyone's eyes .
In the end, at least half of the people in Nanzhao's capital had heard that a peerless beauty had arrived in Nanzhao . Not only was she beautiful, but she was also intelligent, able to subdue two notoriously unruly women .
