Beggars fleeing famine?
Gu Jinli's brows slightly lifted as she signaled Xiao Ji with her eyes, and the clever Xiao Ji slipped away.
Yuanyuan was angry upon hearing this and said to the young girl, "Sister Yue, how can you say such things? Apologize to Sister Xiao Yu right away!"
Shang Xiu Yue laughed and said, "Why should I apologize? Isn't her family one that fled from famine? I've heard that those who flee from famine all become beggars, kneeling and begging for food to survive. Those who can't find food even beg for swill, eating the leftovers that pigs would eat, and they're thrilled to have it."
Shang Xiu Yue laughed arrogantly, lifting her chin as she looked at Yuanyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, you are the young mistress of the Scholar's Family, and also the niece of Lord County Captain. Your status is noble. Don't degrade yourself by playing with a bunch of beggars who have fled famine."
