Chapter 233: Picking on the weak
Elizabeth's words, as well as her tone and expression as if she had seen excrement, further confirmed that Ducati's going to the brothel was a foregone conclusion.
In a hurry, Ducati argued:
"Don't talk nonsense. When did I go to that kind of place?"
Qin Xinghe just scratched his head and said:
"I don't remember the time, but I'm sure it was you."
Ducati roared angrily:
"No, it wasn't me, I didn't go!"
"You have it, it's you, you go!" Qin Xinghe said righteously.
"I don't!"
"You have it, that's you!"
"You're lying, you're talking nonsense!"
"It's you! It's you! It's you!!"
"I didn't, you are wrongly accusing me, you are slandering me!"
"You did it but you dare not admit it. You lied in public!"
"..."
The two of them argued back and forth, arguing with each other for a long time.
Gradually, everyone saw that Qin Xinghe's face turned red, his voice became hoarse, and tears were clearly welling up in his eyes.
This is clearly a situation where an honest person is being wronged.
Plus Ducati's bad reputation.
Suddenly, the upper-class people who were watching the excitement subconsciously thought that the little male peacock named Ducati had obviously gone to that lowly place.
And several of his friends who had been standing next to Ducati just now gradually moved their feet back and no longer stood with him.
At this point they all felt very ashamed.
Regardless of which of them was telling the truth, as a superior aristocrat, it would be beneath Ducati's status to step forward and provoke them.
Moreover, he was still quarreling with a silly-looking mixed-race dwarf in the presence of so many noble people. This was simply too embarrassing...

As for that dwarf, I heard that he was just a mixed-race, with only half of his bloodline belonging to the upper class. He was destined to never become an official in this life.
But Ducati is a pure-blooded nobleman and will definitely become a ruling class in the future.
If what happened today is spread around by people with ulterior motives, it will be extremely difficult to get a good official position in the future.
At this time, Ducati was so angry at the dwarf in front of him who was speaking foul language that he lost his composure.
After a while of yelling, his already weak body became even more breathless, and stars appeared in front of his eyes, as if he was lacking oxygen.
He thought, how could he endure being framed in public by a short mixed-blood man at this dinner party where many elites were gathered?
As a result, Ducati lost control of his emotions.
He suddenly jumped up and punched Qin Xinghe in anger.
However, how could this pampered little peacock hit our battle-hardened Miss Shen?
Others only saw that "Qin Xinghe" twisted his feet slightly and easily dodged the fist.
Then, "he" pushed gently from behind in the direction of Ducati's force, as if trying to get away from him.
However, what everyone didn't see was that Shen Yiyi secretly tripped him with her foot at an extremely fast speed.
Then, the Ducati rushed forward like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, and among the people in the direction where he rushed, no one reached out to help him. Instead, they scattered to both sides, causing Ducati to fall face first to the ground, with stars in his eyes.
Looking back at "Qin Xinghe", he was trembling all over as if he had suffered a great injustice, and blurted out a series of questions:
"What right do you have to hit someone? Why did you hit someone? Not only did you lie, you were also violent! You have no manners, you are unreasonable!"
These words, coupled with his extremely aggrieved expression, his acting skills are completely comparable to a Cassio statue.
No one among the people watching expected that Ducati would actually take action at the prince's dinner.
Therefore, many people speculated that he was angry and humiliated after his true identity was revealed, and for a time, this matter was confirmed.
At this time, the little peacock Ducati had just fallen down. His body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex, and his brain and language system were in a "cooling off" state. Apart from making some meaningless sounds of "hmm ah ah", how could he defend himself?
At this time, "Qin Xinghe" was heard saying to Elizabeth and Talcoco:
"Really? You shouldn't argue with a bad guy. Not only is this person irresponsible, but he's also a violent person. How can he look like a gentleman? Humph!"
Seeing Shen Yiyi like this, Talkoko turned his head away and tried hard to hold back his smile.
The episode just now made her almost forget that beneath this ordinary-looking appearance is the heroic sister Yiyi.
Unexpectedly, her sister Yiyi also had a crazy temper. Anyone who saw her honest and straightforward state and righteous expression would be fooled.
"Sister Yiyi, it seems that you have a talent for being a spy. I will write a report when I get back to see if I can transfer you to our intelligence agency. Haha, I look forward to going on missions with you."
Talkoko was secretly calculating in his mind, but his face was filled with anxiety.
As the only person at the scene who knew Shen Yiyi's background, she was really having a hard time enduring at this moment.

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger and their partner was also suffering, the friends who came to the dinner with Ducati began to stand up for him.
They stopped "Qin Xinghe" and one of them shouted, "What are you doing? Do you want to run away after beating someone up?"
This is obviously unreasonable.
Because everyone present saw that it was Ducati who made the first move, and "Qin Xinghe" just pushed him out of fear.
As for the fall that followed, it can only be said that Ducati had little experience in fighting, exerted too much force, and was unable to control it.
However, almost all the people watching the scene were upper-class people, and they formed a class of their own.
Although many people looked down on Ducati's behavior, no one stood up for "Qin Xinghe".
Because the incident happened a while ago, the identity of this dwarf who was obviously of mixed race has become known to everyone.
In the minds of these so-called superiors and nobles, there is no absolute distinction between justice and evil; it just depends on whether it can bring benefits to themselves.
To the outside world, they naturally maintained those hypocritical so-called aristocratic etiquette on the surface, but in the current situation where they were at a disadvantage, those "etiquette" were thrown to the wind.
Elizabeth was furious when she saw those Ducati companions blocking the road.
She pointed at them angrily and said, "It was obviously that little bastard who started it first, but you are picking on the victim instead. Do you think you can be reasonable?"
It's a pity that it would have been better if Elizabeth didn't speak. The moment she started to defend "Qin Xinghe", a person who had always had a rift with the Canpedra family where Elizabeth was from jumped out and said loudly:
"You said Ducati was the first to attack. Do you have any evidence? Anyway, we saw this short guy pushing Ducati."
As soon as these words were spoken, several high-ranking officials from the Ducati family faction responded.
In fact, the circles and factions of the entire Riyuan Kingdom are both complex and simple, but also complex and simple.
To put it simply, the eldest prince Steve and the second prince Dennis each have many families supporting them.
Although the third prince Alex has no chance of ascending the throne, he has the support of several noble families behind him.
There is naturally a situation of competition among these families.
If we talk about it in a more complicated way, some of these families have been allies for decades, some have been intermarrying for generations, and some are mortal enemies.
Some newly-emerged upper-class families would become dependent on the old nobles, while some of the old nobles, due to disintegration, were swallowed up by other families.
Therefore, these aristocratic children of the upper class, in such a circle, are not all fools like Ducati.
In a sense, what they have been exposed to since childhood has made them understand better than most people when to stand up and fight for justice, and when to lay down and keep quiet.
Moreover, there is an unwritten rule within each circle, which is that once something happens, they must support each other.
This is the most important prerequisite for them to get together.
Although Ducati is a bit of a fool, his father holds the power over information and publicity, and is one of the core families among the several families that support the second prince Denis.
So, when this kind of thing happened to him, his friends would definitely stand up to support him.
What's more, the Campedela family, to which Elizabeth belongs, has just been expelled from the center of military power and is a family on the verge of decline.
