Lai Shun scratched his head, "Aiyo, I forgot! Wasn't I too upset by those shrewish women? Next time, next time I'll definitely remember your instructions, Young Master!"
Xu Huilin glared at him. Did he think Xu Huilin didn't know his own mind? Did Xu Huilin need anyone's pity?
Fortunately, Xu Huilin had passed the age of being a hothead. He gave Lai Shun a look and turned to walk back.
Soon, the incident of several women being slapped by the riverside spread through the village. Some said the Young Master of the Meng Family shouldn't have hit people, but more people were afraid to provoke this young master from the city lord's house. Of course, the rumor of mistakenly identifying him as the Bai Family's son-in-law also disappeared.
Bai Ruozhu only found out about the matter a day later, and she shook her head helplessly. Xu Huilin could treat the villagers roughly, but as a native of Mountain Village, she could not do so. Xu Huilin had indeed stood up for her.
