"Miss, don't stand at the gate of the princess's mansion without an invitation, it's embarrassing to attract attention. If you accidentally offend someone important, you won't be able to bear the consequences. Your act is quite convincing, if I hadn't seen the Madame of the Shangshu Mansion taking you inside just now, I would have been deceived by you. The moral standards of the world are declining, why are the young ladies nowadays so shameless?" The guard obviously interpreted my silence as guilt and spat at my feet before speaking with a tone of contempt.

In the past, there were numerous people who gossiped behind my back, but no one dared to say anything in front of me. Being openly ridiculed like this is a first for me. I can no longer maintain the elegance of a lady, and my face has turned pale. I tightly grip Yin Yin's arm, trying to prevent my figure from trembling. Yin Yin glanced back at me and said, "Madam of the Shangshu Mansion? You must be blind. Everyone in Yancheng knows that the Madam of the Shangshu Mansion passed away many years ago. It's only you dogs who look down on others that consider a concubine to be a noblewoman and a commoner to be a miss. The legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion is right here, but you can't see her, can you? Besides having something wrong with your eyes, it seems like your brain isn't functioning properly either."

I didn't expect Yin Yin to suddenly speak up. The face of the guard turned red and white as Yin Yin spoke, resembling the color palette used by those painters. Although what Yin Yin said made me feel relieved, I knew deep down that we couldn't act recklessly here at the entrance of the princess's residence. I tugged at Yin Yin's arm, shook my head at her, and put on a smiling face as I said to the guard, "Big brother, this servant girl of mine is ignorant and has offended you. I hope you won't stoop to her level." As I spoke, I reached into my sleeve and took out a handful of silver coins, which I then stuffed into the guard's hand, saying, "This is a small token of this girl's appreciation. Please accept it as a gesture of goodwill and buy yourself a cup of tea."

"Hmph, how dare you call yourself the legitimate miss of the Shangshu Manor with such a petty attitude? Giving a few silver coins to beggars? Let me tell you, Miss Zhu of the Shangshu Manor always brings out silver ingots every time. Look at you all, tsk tsk. Not only did you not bring an invitation, but even the carriage doesn't have the Shangshu Manor's seal. I don't know where you got this fake stuff from. Compared to Miss Zhu, you're like a world apart." The guard clearly did not appreciate it and threw the silver coins I handed to him onto the ground. His words became even more harsh. Before I could say anything, Yinyin pushed away my hand holding her arm and stepped forward to stand in front of the guard, saying, "If you have milk, you are the motherf***ing dog. My young miss rewarded you because she thought highly of you. But instead, you act like a mad dog barking here. Are you capable of bearing the consequences of offending my young miss? In the end, you're just a guard dog at the Princess Manor. Yet, you dare to act like a lord. Shameless."

"You little bitch, who are you calling a dog? Watch as I tear your mouth apart." The palace guard was clearly provoked by Yin Yin's words, and he cursed as he charged towards her. I, of course, was no match for Yin Yin as a man. Seeing that things were not looking good, Xiao Si, who had driven the carriage over, quickly hid under the carriage. In a moment of desperation, I reached out and pulled Yin Yin behind me. Just as the palace guard was about to grab my shoulder, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, "Well, well, well, look who we have here. Isn't this Miss Yu Ying from the Shangshu Residence? How come, tired of bullying others with your power at the residence, you've come to the princess's residence to seek some excitement?"
