Chapter 255 First Miss Wouldn’t See Guests Now
Behind the plum tree turned out Qi Rongzhi with a look of holding her head high, which seemed similar to her look in Jiangzhou at that time. “Qin Wanru, I didn’t know that you used to show a well-behaved appearance in the past, but now you dare to offend Qin Yuru deliberately!”
Qin Wanru definitely understood her pun as the corners of her lips slightly moved upward, of which the beautiful color was as gorgeous as flowers. “When will First Miss Qi leave?”
This sentence implicitly expressed the meaning of driving her off.
She knew that after hearing her words Qi Rongzhi couldn’t help jumping out and coming to her!
Qi Rongzhi was furious and her eyes fiercely fell on Qin Wanru’s body. “Qin’s Mansion is not a good place. It is certain that I will leave, and I will go far away. In future, I will be the Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion, while you are just a… b*stard picked from somewhere. After this leave, there will be a world of difference, a difference between clouds and mud. You will salute to me when you meet me in the future!”
“First Miss Qi, even if you will be the real Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion in the future, as long as both of us are not offered ranks, it doesn’t seem that I have to salute to you!”
Qin Wanru said slightly with a smile.
Such a sentence made Qi Rongzhi suffocated and her face turned all red. Today she originally felt very proud. Her elder brother indeed helped her maneuver outside according to her ideas, and Madam of Duke Xing also did send four gifts to claim kindred with her. However, when seeing the servant girls from Duke Xing’s Mansion would unexpectedly go to give gifts to the Qin sisters, she couldn’t sit still.
Following the servant girls on their backs and staring furtively, to her surprise, she saw that the gift which Madam of Duke Xing gave Qin Wanru was worth more than hers. She immediately became jealous, as if her own things had been robbed by someone.
As for the identity of “adopted daughter”, which actually she robbed, it seemed to her that that originally belonged to her, and Madam of Duke Xing was just confused by Qin Wanru temporarily.
“Why doesn’t Miss Qi go to pack up? Perhaps Madam of Duke Xing will directly ask someone to take you away at any moment!” Qin Wanru turned away with a look that she didn’t want to talk to her anymore. That kind of arrogant look made Qi Rongzhi angry and her face even paled.
“Stop!” She shouted loudly.
Seeing her importunate look, Chunyi pulled her sleeves implicitly and hinted that she’d better be careful since this place was still Qin’s Mansion, and the Second Miss Qin was no longer the one who could be hit and punished at Qi Rongzhi’s will.
“What’s the matter?” Qin Wanru looked back and asked with a cold look.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat indifferent look irritated Qi Rongzhi and she wanted to give Qin Wanru two severe slaps, but she gritted her teeth and held in her anger. “Where is that pair of earrings? I will bring it to Qin Yuru!”
Qin Wanru just nodded without saying a word. Yujie walked two steps forward and delivered the small gift box. Chunyi was hurried to step forward and picked it up, and then she stepped aside, which made her secretly relieved in her heart.
Fortunately, First Miss still listened to First Young Master’s words.
“Since Miss Qi is willing to give the earrings to Big Sister, I would like to thank you a lot, but Big Sister may not be in a good mood now. If she offends Miss Qi, I hope that Miss Qi could be more tolerant!” After saying these polite formula words coldly, Qin Wanru left slowly with Yujie in an immense proud way.
She didn’t even give one more glance at Qi Rongzhi or show more jealousy in her behavior because Qi Rongzhi was about to become Madam of Duke Xing’s adopted daughter, which made Qi Rongzhi feel as if she had landed a blow on cotton.
“This is not true. Qin Wanru’s performance must be fake. It is certain that she envies me though she deliberately pretended not to care.” thought Qi Rongzhi.
“Let’s go to have a look at First Miss Qin!” This sentence was almost said out when Qi Rongzhi was gritting the root of her teeth. Neither Qin Wanru nor Qin Yuru was not a kind person. Since she didn’t get any benefits from Qin Wanru, she went to get them back from Qin Yuru.
During these years, Qi Rongzhi had always thought in this way, and behaved in this way. What was different from the past was that she used to feel that when she couldn’t get the benefits from Qin Yuru, she could go to get them back from Qin Wanru.
Full of such anger, Qi Rongzhi went to Qin Yuru’s Yalan Pavilion. But when she arrived at the door of Yalan Pavilion, she was unexpectedly blocked by two old maids.
“First Miss Qi, our First Miss is copying words, and she will not see you for the time being!” an old maid said politely after she came to salute.
Qi Rongzhi knew that Qin Yuru had been grounded, but she didn’t expect that there were some people still guarding here.
She rolled her eyeballs and smiled. “I may be about to leave Qin’s Mansion. Madam of Duke Xing has accepted me as an adopted daughter. This time, I come to give First Miss Qin a gift on behalf of Madam of Duke Xing!”
“First Miss Qi, please!” The two old maids looked at each other and stepped backward to let her in after a hesitation.
Their guard here was not as strict as that in the place where Madam Di was kept. When Qi Rongzhi came over, they just asked a question as a matter of routine. Since her reason was very sound, they would not stop her.
Qi Rongzhi walked inside with Chunyi. Some young servant girls had already seen her and reported it to Qin Yuru. Seeing that Qi Rongzhi came over, Mei Xue, who stayed on Qin Yuru’s side, appeared at the door with a gaunt face and picked up the curtain for her.
Qi Rongzhi going in and taking a glance, Qin Yuru was sitting in the room with a cold face. As for the so-called writing, Qi Rongzhi could only see that on the writing desk near the window there were a few pieces of paper thrown in a mess and several things like writing brushes and ink sticks lying in disorder.
“Qin Yuru, how is your writing?” Qi Rongzhi raised her head proudly.
“What are you doing here?” Since no outsider was there, Qin Yuru answered without a good look.
“It is obvious that I come to see how down you are. First Miss Qin, whom once my elder brother swooned over in Jiangzhou, is now kept here and unable to go out. As for the fiance you got because you abandoned my elder brother, I’m afraid that he hasn’t come to look at you once? Qin Yuru, I really feel unworthy for you!”
Qi Rongzhi sat down on the chair aside, proudly glanced at the condition in the house and said with sarcasm!
“What do you mean?” Qin Yuru’s face was purple with anger, and she coldly stared at Qi Rongzhi. There were no other people at that moment, so these two people had no need to pretend to show any drama of sister love and they were the truest selves.
“I really just come to see your miserable situation and also tell you that I am going to leave soon. Madam of Duke Xing has planned to accept me as her adopted daughter. Since now, I will be the Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion. Qin Yuru, have you ever thought that one day I will step over your head?”
Qi Rongzhi patted the dust that didn’t exist on her sleeves at all, and became more complacent.
“Madam of Duke Xing will accept you as her adopted daughter?” Qin Wanru was stunned. She didn’t know about this, because being grounded made her ill-informed.
“Of course, and she will also pick me up to live in Duke Xing’s Mansion! Qin Yuru, you were originally ambitious to please Madam of Duke Xing, and even willing to bully that little Master. You just aimed to make Madam of Duke Xing look at you one more time, but now, Madam will not see you anymore!”
Qi Rongzhi clicked her tongue twice and proudly raised her eyebrows.
These words reminded Qin Yuru of a bitter scene in her heart, and her face suddenly turned dark.
“Just now Madam of Duke Xing sent someone to give me the present for adoption and also brought a pair of earrings for you. After all, I have lived in your mansion since I came to the capital city. What Madam of Duke Xing means is that she thanks you for me!” Qi Rongzhi leaned back and waved her hands.
Stepping forward, Chunyi delivered a very small gift box in her hands and placed it on the tea table in front of Qin Yuru.
“Have a look. Anyhow, it’s an expression of Madam of Duke Xing’s goodwill. Nothing good has fallen on you since you entered the capital city. It is rare for my foster mother to think highly of you!” Qi Rongzhi even called Madam of Duke Xing “foster mother” at this time.
Qin Yuru trembled with anger, and swung her arm heavily. Thrown out by her sleeves, the gift box fell heavily on the floor with the lid opened, from which a pair of delicate earrings fell out.
“Such a big temper? In those years, why did my elder brother have a crush on you? Qin Yuru, you have neither beautiful appearance nor good deportment, and you are dissolute by nature. When you had an engagement to my elder brother, you had already hooked up with Childe Di. Whosever family marries such a dissolute woman will fall on evil days. Perhaps Childe Di would also be cuckolded for several times at that time!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo outsiders present, Qi Rongzhi could also be bolder at this time. The more she said, the more unpleasant these words were to hear. Even Chunyi who followed her couldn’t help blushing. It was unknown where Qi Rongzhi heard such kind of blackguardly words which appeared in the marketplace. A well-behaved girl from a respectable family unexpectedly dared to say such kind of words.
“Qi Rongzhi, don’t overdo!” With a livid face, Qin Yuru stood up and shouted angrily.
“What? You still want to hit me? Qin Yuru, I warn you. I am no longer Jiangzhou magistrate’s daughter now. I am the Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion and this high status is beyond your reach. If you really offend me, I will ask my foster mother to expose your scandals in Jiangzhou, and see whether you still have any nerve to come out in the future!”
Qi Rongzhi was definitely not someone who was willing to suffer losses, so she also stood up and shouted loudly.
Seeing that this situation was getting worse, Chunyi and Mei Xue respectively pulled one to the side and were afraid that the two of them would fight again. The two Miss were grounded and punished to copy several articles at most, but something terrible would happen to the two servant girls. Perhaps there would be another rebuke and beating.
“Qi Rongzhi, get out!” Strongly suppressing the anger in her heart, Qin Yuru stretched out her hand, pointed outside and said coldly.
“Of course I will go. Qin Yuru, don’t think this is Jiangzhou. This place is the capital city, where the name of Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion is not as powerful as that in Jiangzhou.” Qi Rongzhi snorted coldly and turned to walk a few steps. Suddenly she stopped again, squatted down to pick up the pair of earrings at the feet, and put it in front of her eyes to have a look. Then she turned back to the tea table next to Qin Yuru and plopped the earrings on it.
“Qin Yuru, my foster mother gives you this pair of earrings, but you do not care about it at all. Good, I must tell this to my foster mother!” Qi Rongzhi said sharply.
“Well, tell her. You go to tell her now!” Qin Yuru was angry to tremble. She had always sailed through her life, and no one had ever been able to irritate her like this.
“Hum, you just wait to see!” Qi Rongzhi turned away proudly. The earrings were really broken, with one of the beads inlaid on the top getting loose. If she had the chance, she would definitely tell Madam of Duke Xing.
“Miss, as expected, First Miss Qi did have a quarrel with First Miss again. I heard that they quarreled violently, and the old maids who guarded outside all heard them.” Qingyue reported.
Qin Wanru casually picked up a pair of earrings and looked at it. This pair of earrings with a delicate style, was very beautiful and the inlaid pearls were also good, but they couldn’t be compared with the pearls sent by Madam of Duke Xing. Madam of Duke Xing was really willing to spend her capital.
“They couldn’t have had a fight?”
“This time they didn’t fight, but after First Miss Qi left, an old maid around First Miss went to the kitchen to fetch some dessert for First Miss. First Miss was really open-hearted. She just finished a quarrel with First Miss Qi and then had an appetite to eat something!” Qingyue sighed.
She was sent by Qin Wanru to stare at Yalan Pavilion. Later on, she even followed the old maid to the kitchen, seeing that the old maid took many cakes and pastries in the kitchen. Qingyue was speechless. “First Miss is tired after quarreling, so she wants to have something to eat?”
“Take cakes and pastries to eat?” Qin Wanru was slightly puzzled, slowly putting down the pearl on her hand, and her eyes revealed a deep sense of stagnation!
This was not like Qin Yuru’s behavior…
