"How can you prove that it wasn't you who pushed her and broke the hairpin?"
As soon as Xia Muxin finished speaking, a steady voice emerged from the crowd.
Xia Muxin's heart tightened suddenly, and she looked up to see a boy of about sixteen or seventeen stepping out from the throng. He was tall, at least two heads taller than Xia Muxin, and unlike the other boys in the village who had dark skin, he was quite fair and handsome. Dressed in a blue summer shirt, he exuded an air of scholarly elegance.
Seeing those unfamiliar eyes that were different from before, a hint of gloom passed through Xia Muxin's gaze. At the same time, she let out a breath; she had feared that Feng Liulang would be stubborn and unyielding once he made up his mind. However, seeing him today, it seemed she had overthought it.
She nodded politely but distantly at him and said, "It's simple. Everyone can compare my nails with those of my cousin, Gui Lian." With that, she extended her fingers, which still bore some traces of dirt.
Her hands were quite beautiful; unlike those of an ordinary peasant girl, they were delicate and small. Her fingers were long and well-shaped, though they bore some thin calluses at the joints from lack of care. Nevertheless, this did not detract from their beauty.
Seeing her calm demeanor while Zhou Guilian hesitated to show her own hands, everyone understood what was happening. It seemed that the Zhou family still hadn't let go of the Xia family. However, since it was a family matter, they felt it best not to interfere.
Especially with the culprit Feng Liulang present, everyone exchanged a few words before gradually dispersing.
Zhou Guilian lost face in front of Feng Liulang and cried pitifully as she was pulled back into the house by her mother.
"Such cunning at such a young age; it seems I was blind."
Xia Muxin glared at You Shi's murderous gaze and closed the door with a loud bang, shaking her head helplessly. Just as she was about to walk toward her own door, she heard Feng Liulang's sigh followed by his scornful words.
"Taking advantage of this moment to not be blind is a good thing; if one is blind for a lifetime, then it's all over." Xia Muxin was taken aback for a moment, then she scoffed in response.
She wasn't sure if Feng Liulang had seen something, but his disbelief and disdain for her completely erased any guilt or affection she had for him. Moreover, she had never looked favorably upon Feng Liulang; if they were to truly understand each other, this was the best way.
"You..." Feng Liulang choked on his words, flames igniting in his eyes as he pointed at her, unsure of what to say.
"I am just a simple country girl with no knowledge. If I say something that offends Young Master Feng, it is only natural. If you want to hold that against me, then it would be an insult to everything Young Master Feng has learned over the years."
With just a glance and a few simple words, Xia Muxin had already concluded in her heart that Feng Liulang was a staunch male chauvinist. To marry such a person would mean serving him like a mule every day, pouring tea and running errands.
And what she hated most was this kind of male chauvinism.
When it came to speaking, she naturally held nothing back.
Feng Liulang's expression shifted, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at Xia Muxin. Suddenly, he turned and stormed away.
