Deliberately comparing that servant Liu to Ling Xiao was undoubtedly provocative and humiliating.
Jiang Shi frowned, and Ling Ji’s eyes also darkened.
Ling Jingshu suppressed her smile and responded calmly: “This lady is kind-hearted. She takes the illness of a servant so seriously, especially more than her relatives. It is really admirable.”
Fourth Miss Liu: “… .”
Fourth Miss Liu was used to being domineering at home. She had never been ridiculed like this. She immediately blushed and replied: “What is better than your relatives? How dare you humiliate me like this!”
Ling Jingshu twitched her lip: “You just said it yourself. Your servant was carried in, which made you even more worried. If I follow your words, how come it turns into humiliating you?”
Fourth Miss Liu choked. She was speechless.
Her face turned red and white, and there was a burning sensation behind her ears.
Fortunately, it was covered with gauze, otherwise, she would have been embarrassed in front of everyone.
Ling Ji and his wife looked at each other and remained silent in a tacit understanding.
This Fourth Miss Liu was far from Ling Jingshu’s opponent. Even with the menacing middle-aged woman behind her, it was not something to be afraid of.
Sure enough, when the middle-aged woman saw that her master had lost in the verbal exchange, she immediately took two steps forward to protect her master. She raised his head and sneered: “This girl has such a sharp tongue. Our lady is kind-hearted and cares about the servants in the house. She wants to go to the Huichun Hall to see for herself. Is there anything wrong? This girl is blocking me here. I don’t know why. What’s the purpose? Everyone can come to the Huichun Hall this time, does the girl want to stop our lady from entering?”
She looked aggressive and wanted to make a scene.
A hint of anger flashed in Han Yi’s eyes. Just as he was about to open her mouth to speak, Ling Jingshu said calmly: “This momo [1]elderly maid made a few mistakes. First of all, it was Manager Han who asked you to wait outside just now. You are not convinced. You should not vent your anger on us siblings.”
“Secondly, it was your master who insulted our siblings just now, and that’s why I opened my mouth to refute. If you mean to cause trouble, that person is not me.”
“Also, you want to enter the Huichun Hall, it has nothing to do with me. I am accompanying my younger brother for medical treatment today, and I have no time or mood to pay attention to other people.”
She finished. Without even looking at the “miscellaneous people waiting”, she turned around gracefully and stepped into the Huichun Hall.
The middle-aged woman was ridiculed and looked disgraced. She was very angry. There was another snicker in her ears, which made her even more embarrassed. She immediately turned around and stared at the people, shouting sternly, “Who’s laughing?”
No one wanted to quarrel with such a shrewd momo, and the snickers and whispers suddenly became much quieter.
The middle-aged woman turned her head again. Squeezing out a smile to comfort Fourth Miss Li: “That girl just now is from an unknown family. She has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth and has no trace of ladylike demeanor. Miss, there is no need to argue with such people. Why don’t you go back to the carriage to rest for a while and wait for Dr. Wei? When he comes, get off the carriage.”
Fourth Miss Liu had never been so embarrassed before. Her eyes were red with anger and she was ready to leave. At this time, when he heard the name of Imperial Physician Wei, she was reluctant to leave. It took a while before she said yes.
The middle-aged woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly helped her young lady back to the carriage.
Just walking a few steps, they saw a huge group of people walking over.
...
Fourth Miss Liu already had quite a few maids, momo, and bodyguards, but this group of people had more than double the number. It was as if Stars were surrounding the girl in the middle like a moon.
This girl was tall. The body was extremely developed. The purple dress on her body was made of some kind of precious material. It was thin, light and soft. Dark lines flashed out when she walked, which was extremely gorgeous.
The girl also wore a curtain hat. The gauze under the curtain hat was decorated with several rubies. She also wore a gemstone bracelet of the same color on her wrist. Although she did not show her face, her gestures showed a bit of arrogance and nobility.
Why was she here too?
Fourth Miss Liu knew this girl, and she secretly muttered in her heart. She stepped forward and blessed her: “This girl has met Princess Fumin.”
Princess Fumin’s father, Prince Rong, was a cousin of the current Emperor. Prince Rong was in charge of the clan mansion and was considered to be a high-ranking authority among the royal clan members.
Princess Fumin was the only daughter of Prince Rong. She often visited the palace and had a good relationship with Princess Changping. Her noble status was naturally not comparable to that of an official or a rich man.
Princess Fumin glanced at Fourth Miss Liu, hummed, and asked lightly: “Why did Fourth Miss Liu come to Huichun Hall today?”
The two had only met a few times, and they were not familiar with each other, nor did they have much friendship. They only exchanged a few words or two when they met.
Fourth Miss Liu opened her mouth and replied: “My concierge Liu Laoshi suddenly suffered from an emergency today, and it cost him his life. I couldn’t bear it, so I brought him to Huichun Hall for treatment.”
What she said was very high-sounding and pleasant.
But who didn’t know the true intention?
Princess Fumin twitched the corners of her lips with a half-smile: “You have a bodhisattva-like heart. You are willing to spend so much thought on even an insignificant concierge.”
Intentionally or unintentionally, the word “thought” was emphasized.
Miss Liu San snorted in embarrassment.
There were many daughters from famous families in the capital who secretly admired Imperial Physician Wei. Princess Fumin was the well-deserved number one. Relying on her status as the princess, she pestered Imperial Physician Wei openly…
Princess Fumin really has the nerve to criticize others.
Wait a moment!
Fourth Miss Liu rolled her eyes and realized her plan. She deliberately lowered her voice and said, “Princess Fumin came a step late today, but she missed a good scene!”
Princess Fumin raised an eyebrow, indifferent as she said, “I wonder what drama this is?”
Fourth Miss Liu’s eyes flashed and she whispered: “It’s not unusual to say that. A young girl appeared out of nowhere and accompanied her family to treat illnesses. She shamelessly entered the inner hall of the Huichun Hall, waiting for Imperial Physician Wei!”
Princess Fumin was unhappy, but pretended to be indifferent: “Oh? What does that girl look like?”
Fourth Miss Liu hesitated for a moment: “Wearing a veil, I couldn’t see her face clearly. The girl was dressed in a bamboo green dress, without much fancy jewelry. However, she had an outstanding temperament, a graceful figure, and a pleasant voice. She should be a rare beauty. But, that girl is quite sharp-tongued. She just insulted me for no reason a while ago. With the Princess’s noble status, I assume the girl wouldn’t dare to speak freely in front of her.”
This trick of causing trouble and stirring up discord was not a clever one.
Anyone with a bit of discernment could hear the instigation in Fourth Miss Liu’s words.
However, understanding was one thing, and whether you were willing to take the bait was another.
Princess Fumin was arrogant by nature and very self-reliant. How could she put an ordinary boudoir girl in her eyes? Hearing this, she twitched the corners of hrr lips: “When you said that, I got a little curious. I have to go in and meet her for a while.”
(To be continued.)
