Wanyun and Yongjia had just finished studying a poem from the *Classic of Poetry*. Seeing Xi Yu's anxious expression outside the door, Wanyun bade her enter.
Xi Yu came in, bowed to them both, and said, "Miss, the eldest young lady of the Shi family is outside, shouting for you to come out. She's cursing you for interfering in your father's marriage. What should we do?"
Wanyun said with a hint of surprise, "I thought only shrews made scenes and cursed people out in the street. In Yinxing Village, even families with the slightest sense of propriety wouldn't do such a thing. I never expected a noble lady of Chang'an to block our gate and scream like a shrew."
Mr. Liu said, "You don't know Shi Shuangshuang. When she was younger, she was even more reckless, relying on her family's status.
The Shi family secured her the title of 'Chang'an's Number One Talented Lady,' but she has always done as she pleases. It's not surprising she'd come here to cause a scene."
