Chapter 145 Refutation
Chapter 145 Refutation
"You..." Ye Lingya was speechless for a moment after hearing her say that her thinking was outdated three times in one sentence. She could only stand there in frustration.
Hearing this, everyone chuckled inwardly, agreeing with Long Chuqing's words. Yes! How can the times progress if we forever cling to outdated ideas!
After hearing Long Chuqing's words, Ye Lingwei couldn't help but ponder them to herself.
Although she had read many books and possessed considerable talent and knowledge, her family had raised her according to the traditional virtues of obedience, submission, and chastity. The etiquette and rules she received were the same as those of Ye Lingya.
The saying goes that a woman follows her husband after marriage. In this era, once a woman is married, she is expected to dedicate her life to supporting her husband and raising her children.
She never imagined that the changes of the times would be related to the thoughts of a young woman like her.
People in this era are so conservative in their thinking. Just like what Long Chuqing just said, most people would only think that she is open-minded and shameless, and would not agree with her words.
At this moment, Long Chuqing thought to herself, since others have already called her shameless and said that she was having an affair with a man, she can't let them talk for nothing. She might as well make it a fact and add some fuel to the fire.
A sly smile appeared on her lips as she turned slightly, gazing at Xiao Han behind her.
Then, she slowly raised her fair right hand and placed it in front of Xiao Han. She parted her red lips slightly and spoke in a slightly aggrieved tone.
"I ran into two hooligans on the road just now. They tried to grope me, and I couldn't stand it, so I accidentally taught them a lesson. Their hands are still a little sore!" After saying that, she winked playfully at Xiao Han, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Xiao Han instantly understood the implication in her eyes, then smiled gently and looked at her tenderly.
He gently took her hand and asked in a tender voice, "Let me see, does it hurt? I'll rub it for you." After saying that, he carefully began to massage her hand.
The scene unfolded so suddenly that everyone present was stunned and didn't know how to react.
What was I saying earlier? Compared to a man's secret rendezvous, it seems like nothing is a big deal anymore.
After all, the two of them held hands directly in front of everyone without any hesitation.
Ye Lingwei, who had been silently observing the situation, was deeply moved when she saw the two of them acting so intimately, especially the tenderness in Xiao Han's eyes.
She recalled that every time she saw him before, he always had a cold and aloof demeanor, keeping people at arm's length.
I thought he was always cold and indifferent, but I never expected to witness such a tender side of him today.
Thinking of this, she felt indignant and bit her lip tightly, clenching the silk handkerchief in her hands.
"Truly shameless!" Ye Lingya, standing to the side, couldn't help but sneer at the sight.
After hearing Ye Lingya's sarcastic words, Long Chuqing remained calm and unperturbed. She simply reached out and wrapped her arms around Xiao Han's waist.
She gently rested her head on Xiao Han's shoulder, turned her pretty face slightly to face Ye Lingya, and said with a hint of innocence in her tone, "Um... what did Miss Ye just say? I didn't hear clearly."
Xiao Han smiled slightly, his lips curving upwards in indulgence. He then reached out and gently stroked Long Chuqing's hair, completely disregarding the stares of others.
Fei Feng chuckled dryly and praised, "Qingqing, you're really something!"
Feng Yu was speechless for a moment: "Well... let's just say you have some tricks up your sleeve!"
Prince Rui and the others standing nearby were once again stunned by the sudden scene before them, secretly marveling at how bold this girl was! How dare she make such an intimate gesture in public... wasn't she afraid of what others would say?
After seeing this, Qingying stared wide-eyed and secretly exclaimed, "This is on the street! Miss Long is so daring! I admire you, but well done!"
Bronze muttered to himself, "As expected of Miss Long, only she would dare to do something so bold! Now let's see how that Miss Ye can still be sarcastic."
Qing Tong and Qing Ying secretly gave Long Chuqing a thumbs up.
However, Zi Guang lowered his head shyly and muttered softly, "The girl is really brave! But this is quite satisfying."
Seeing the scene before her, Ye Lingya turned around angrily, realizing that Long Chuqing's actions were actually a provocation against her.
Ye Lingwei lowered her eyes, hiding the jealousy and resentment in them, her hands clenched into fists under her sleeves.
For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward. Long Chuqing felt that the commotion had gone on enough, so she released her arms from Xiao Han.
To ease the awkward atmosphere, she quickly changed the subject: "By the way, did everyone mention poetry just now?"
As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Han behind her and asked, "Um... have you written it yet?"
Xiao Han smiled slightly: "I didn't write one, but my brother and sister-in-law each wrote one."
Seeing this, King Xuan quickly chimed in to help change the subject and ease the awkward atmosphere.
He waved his hand and said, "Alas, I am ashamed. We were just showing off our limited skills, merely joining in the fun and writing casually. If we were to say which one is the best written here, it would be Miss Ye." Prince Xuan then looked at Ye Lingwei beside him.
Princess Rui also smiled and said, "Yes! Miss Ye is truly a woman of outstanding literary talent and exceptional ability. Compared to her, we are truly ashamed of ourselves."
Ye Lingwei composed herself slightly and put on a gentle smile: "I'm just showing off my limited skills in front of an expert, please don't laugh at me."
Prince Qi chimed in: “We are telling the truth. As for the poems that everyone just wrote, none of them are as outstanding as yours.”
"That's because Seventh Master hasn't picked up his pen yet. If he were willing to write a poem, it would definitely be better than what I wrote." After saying that, Ye Lingwei glanced in Xiao Han's direction.
After listening to their conversation, Long Chu turned to Xiao Han and said, "That's right! Why don't you write one? I've never seen you write a poem before!"
Xiao Han pondered for a few seconds after hearing this, then raised his eyebrows and looked at her with tender eyes, saying, "Alright, if you want to see it, then I'll write one." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the table next to him.
After seeing Xiao Han's actions, Prince Rui complained angrily, "This kid, when I asked him to write just now, he said he had no inspiration! Now he can write whenever he wants."
Princess Rui, standing beside him, glanced at Prince Rui and joked, "Looking at your face, I definitely won't have any inspiration."
King Xuan looked at Xiao Han, who was writing furiously not far away, and complained, "I've never seen my seventh brother so obedient. Before, when I asked him to compose a poem, I had to coax him for a long time before he agreed."
