Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 101 - : Arrogant

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Arrogant

Seeing her meddlesome demeanor, anyone with clear eyes knew she harbored no good intentions.

Glancing up, Xuexue recognized that this woman was often close to Madam Ruan. Last time Madam Ruan tried to hit her but accidentally ran into a wall, it was she who spread rumors all over the village, claiming Xuexue was incredibly disrespectful for hitting an elder.

Knowing this woman was a notorious gossip in the village, Madam Xie’s mood soured as she heard the edged words, “What’s different about my daughter?, Isn’t she alright?, Lady Li, you have children yourself, don’t spout nonsense and tarnish my daughter’s reputation.”

The carriage was also carrying six or seven other women who had taken the opportunity of the market day to go to the town and buy various items to bring back.

Losing face in front of so many people, Lady Li’s face changed, and she said shrilly, “Heh, they might look the same on the outside, but who knows if what’s inside is the same?”

That implied, who knew whether Xuexue was a virgin or a tramp.

...

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie’s eyes moistened, and her voice trembled, “You…, you…, how… can you speak like that?”

Lady Li sneered dismissively, “If you can do it, then don’t be afraid of being talked about.”

Xuexue patted Madam Xie on the back and comforted her while giving Lady Li a fierce glare, “What did I do?”

Lady Li’s tone became more sardonic, “You know very well what you did.”

The other women in the carriage couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Lady Li, without any evidence, don’t talk nonsense and tarnish the girl’s reputation. That invites divine retribution and harms your moral virtue.”

“Exactly, usually in the village, your gossiping about this household and that might slide, but now it involves a young girl’s reputation, you really can’t just blabber on.”

Everyone chimed in, one after another, rebuking Lady Li.

Madam Xie, a woman divorced by her husband and barely getting by with her two daughters, was already pitiful, and now, she was being senselessly slandered, inciting everyone to defend her fiercely.

“What’s it to you!, I wasn’t talking about you.” Surrounded by so many people, Lady Li couldn’t help but become angrily embarrassed.

“How can you be like this?, You ruin other people’s reputations and then won’t let us criticize you,” another woman scoffed as she glanced at Lady Li.

“That’s just her way; in Mo Family Village, the most meddlesome woman is her. Just ignore her,” another woman added.

Lady Li sneered, “Pfft, ignore me all you want; I don’t care to talk to you poor wretches anyway.”

Lady Li, with just a bit more land than others in the village, carried herself as if she were a major landowner, always looking down on everyone else.

“Tsk tsk! Look at that awful attitude of hers.” The woman was so infuriated she wished she could slap Lady Li right across the face.

“Let it go, let it go, we know what kind of person she is, don’t be angry, don’t stoop to her level,” another woman quickly advised.

“Hmph!”

Thinking it over, the woman realized it wasn’t worth getting upset over such a person and chose to remain silent.

A hush fell over the carriage; before long, they reached the entrance to the market.

The market was bustling with people, and ox carts were not allowed inside. Everyone grabbed their things and got off the cart.

The passengers took out their copper coins, lining up in front of the cart to pay for their ride.

“Hehe…! Big brother.” When it was Lady Li’s turn, she approached with empty hands, her face breaking into a fawning smile.

“Lady Li, what’s it this time?, Running short on fare again? You didn’t pay last time, and that just won’t do. I’m running a small business and have a family to support,” the middle-aged cart driver saw through her immediately. Coupled with his distaste for her usual pretentious airs of affluence followed by her refusal to even part with a single copper coin.
