Chapter 965 Riot
Wenyou, who followed closely behind, grabbed Pomegranate's collar and backed away from the wall.
As soon as they stood up, the rioting crowd began to retreat. There are already many people on the street, and stampedes are likely to occur if they retreat.
Immediately after the child's crying, women's shouts came one after another.
"What's going on in the front?" Bai Yunxi saw the center of the commotion through the lantern stand. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see an acquaintance.
In just a blink of an eye, another sharp cry sounded,
"You bastards, stay away from me."
As soon as these words came out, many people were dissatisfied.
"You're really weird. There are already a lot of people at the lantern festival. If you don't want to be crowded, why don't you stay at home?"
"That's right, if you want to join in the fun, don't be afraid of crowds."
"Ah...who pinched me? You losers, push people away from me and don't let them get close." The screams of collapse sounded again, causing the people around her to subconsciously take a step back and take the vacated position. Just enough for Bai Yunxi to see the other party clearly.
She was very familiar with this girl, Tao Ruyi from the Tao family.
Seeing her surrounded by maids and women, staring at the crowd around them with disgust, in her eyes, the crowd next to them was like a plague, which made her feel sick.
Under the commotion of the crowd, Bai Yunxi was stunned. She seemed to see a familiar figure again.
Not only her, but Wenyou also noticed it.
She looked back at Bai Yunxi, their eyes collided, and there was no need to question it now.
While they were surprised, Tao Ruyi yelled and cursed at the crowded people again.
"Bastards, they are all bastards, you stupid people, stay away from me..."
As soon as these words came out, the people who were already dissatisfied became even more confused. They glared at Tao Ruyi who was surrounded by maids and women, and their tone was equally bad.
"You are really too much. You think we are dirty, but we still think we dislike you."
"That's right, you think you are so noble, but we are not willing to get close to you. It's bad luck."
"It's really unreasonable. It was obviously their people who bumped into ours first. They didn't apologize, but they cursed us in return. Isn't this clearly bullying us?"
Complaints sounded one after another, and the eyes of everyone looking at the master and servants suddenly changed.
Tao Ruyi's face turned dark. She knew there were many people watching the lantern festival, but she didn't expect so many. If she had known, she would have been staying in the restaurant, squeezing here and there, sweating all over her body, and smelling bad, which made her feel sick to her stomach.
"You guys should keep me safe. Don't let anyone get close to me. I'll kill them."
"Girl, let's leave quickly. There are too many people here." The girl waiting beside her looked at a few pairs of unkind eyes and felt frightened. They were all female relatives. If there was a conflict, they would only suffer.
There were already a lot of people visiting the lantern festival, but they were blocking the crowds. The people behind them couldn't move, so they started pushing and shoving them in a hurry.
After a while, Tao Ruyi's master and servant were dispersed by the crowd amidst screams.
The girls who were so arrogant just now disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Among the crowds of people pushing and shoving, some people screamed and some cried, but no one paid any attention to them.
Seeing Tao Ruyi being swept away by the crowd, screaming repeatedly, Bai Yunxi shook his head and looked at Yaya, "Did you see it? You can't show off in a crowded place, and you will end up harming others and yourself."
She could even think about it, Tao Ruyi might not dare to go out again after today.
Regardless of whether it was a plot or not, as a girl, to be so arrogant and anger the crowd is simply asking for trouble and is extremely stupid.
Yaya saw the situation in front of her. After the shock, she held Bai Yunxi's hand tightly.
"What grandma said is that losing your temper at this time will only do bad things."
Yaya smacked her lips, it was so terrible,
"The lantern festival is inherently messy. A girl's house can easily make people have bad thoughts. It is irrational to damage your reputation for nothing."
Listening to Yaya's matter-of-fact analysis, Bai Yunxi curled up her lips and said, "You're right. When you go out, it's better to keep a low profile for yourself."
People's hearts are inherently unfair, and class conflicts have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Once ignited, the consequences of angering the people will be swallowed up.
"As the old saying goes, the law does not punish everyone. When certain behaviors are collective or universal, even if the behavior contains some illegal or unreasonable factors, it is difficult for the law to punish it. Therefore, in this mess, , even if the government officials come, there is no way to seek justice for her except to disperse the crowd. "
"Grandma is right, she can only suffer the loss of being dumb."
Yaya looked at the still crowded crowd on the street and didn’t dare to let go of her grandma’s hand.
"Princess Hehui said that she is very favored at home, and she is used to being unruly. She may have forgotten the difference between home and outside, and thinks that everyone has to give her three points."
Listening to her eldest granddaughter sighing, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
"My eldest granddaughter is still smarter."
The few of them stood by the wall and waited quietly. A quarter of an hour later, Jingzhao Mansion, who was responsible for the security of Kyoto, finally appeared.
The Imperial City Lantern Festival is lively and fun for the people, but the government also has to ensure public security in the city.
The yamen drove the crowd away with a cold face and rescued several people who were trampled and unconscious.
The streets were evacuated by government officials and people evacuated in an orderly manner. After a while, the lights returned to normal.
"Grandma, let's go back. I wonder if my second uncle and the others have already gone back?" After this incident, most of the interest disappeared.
"Fine,"
A group of four people followed the flow of people and walked out. After two quarters of an hour, they finally emerged from the busy street.
"Mother, you finally came out. Brother Yan was worried about you and went in to look for someone." Li was standing on the roadside holding her youngest son. When she saw Wenyou and the others, she immediately waved.
"Second Aunt, it was too chaotic ahead. We hid by the wall and waited for the yamen runners to clear the street before we came back."
Ya Ya said with a smile, and then she saw Dong Ye and Dong Xue trotting over.
"Miss, you scared me to death. We were going to rush in to find you. Second Master asked us to wait here. He and Fourth Master went in."
It was a cold day. Bai Yunxi asked Li and Du to take the children to sit in the carriage. She turned her head to look at Wenyou and whispered,
"Was that Dong Qing just now?"
Bai Yunxi didn't feel dazzled, especially the scar on Dong Qing's forehead, which was particularly conspicuous under the light.
"Yes, she should have caused the riot." Wenyou's eyes flashed. The girl was holding back hatred in her heart. She could see it, and Aunt Bai should know it too.
"It is said that every wrong has its perpetrator, and I agreed to take her back to Kyoto because I wanted to be prepared. But I didn't expect that girl to be so bold as to do it in private."
When she first heard Tao Ruyi's name in Liyanfang, she noticed the flash of anger in Dongqing's eyes. At that time, she knew that the Tao family must be Dongqing's enemy.
