"Go ahead, call me ugly and dark, it's not the first time you've insulted me anyway!"
But upon reflection, she felt aggrieved.
"You said that there was no one in the inner courtyard and told me to go out for some fresh air. But I hadn't been playing in the courtyard for half an hour when several men appeared. They followed me wherever I went, as if they were deliberately making things difficult for me. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have embarrassed myself so badly!" Chenxing was convinced these men were the cause of her bad day. She looked up, accusing him, "One of them was even Brother Baihao! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up in the outer courtyard like a headless fly, encountered so much bad luck, and lost all my dignity!"
Where did she lose her dignity? Isn't it more like she's gaining face?
With a teasing raise of his eyebrow, Gu Shaocheng pretended to be ignorant: "Baihao was with me playing golf, how could he possibly be in the inner courtyard?"
