Chapter 781 The Green Tea Flavor is Too Strong

Yu Jiao stepped on a low stool and got off the carriage. She stood beside Cheng Ying and looked at him in confusion, wondering what he wanted to do by suddenly calling her down.

Liang Wushuang was the first to react. She smiled at Yu Jiao, half smiling and half flattering, "Miss Liu San, this is a little gift from me. We met in the Rouge Shop on Chang'an Street. Do you remember me?"

Yu Jiao glanced at the carved wooden box that Liang Wushuang handed to her, and was unmoved. She just said coldly, "Of course I remember. The words that Madam Wushuang said in the Plum Garden were really harsh. Yu Ning still remembers them clearly."

Although Yu Jiao couldn't figure out the relationship between Cheng Ying and Liang Wushuang, she didn't intend to play along with Liang Wushuang. After all, she was just Cheng Ying's concubine outside the palace. She relied on Cheng Ying's bully power and was the same as Yang Jiyan. Even though Senior Brother Lu Jin said that she was not such a person, Yu Jiao believed what she saw with her own eyes. She really didn't have any good feelings towards Liang Wushuang.

Liang Wushuang didn't expect her to be so straightforward. His smile froze, and he said softly, "I was careless in my words in Meiyuan. I believed the slander of the villain and misunderstood you. I didn't expect that Miss Yang, who came from a famous family, would have bad conduct and would gossip behind people's backs."

She looked at Yu Jiao sincerely, "After she did such a dirty thing in Xinglou a few days ago, I realized her true colors. Whenever I think of what happened in Meiyuan, I feel full of remorse and have been looking for a chance to apologize to you."

Liang Wushuang reached out to pull Yu Jiao's hand, wanting to put the carved wooden box containing the jade bracelet into Yu Jiao's hand.

Yu Jiao moved behind Cheng Ying to avoid her hand, "Madam Wushuang and I are not related in any way, so I can't accept your gift for nothing."

Although Liang Wushuang had made up his mind to pretend to please Yu Jiao first, she still refused to listen to him even though he was so humble, which made him feel annoyed.

She had learned the origins of this Miss Liu San from Chen Rou. She was originally a nobody and was sold by her family to be a bride for a wedding. Now she returned to the capital and became the third lady of the Ci Fu family, who was of noble birth and high status.

It's just luck.

No matter how much Liang Wushuang hated Yu Jiao in her heart, she could only pretend to be gentle and weak in front of Cheng Ying. She bit her lower lip lightly, leaving a pale tooth mark on her lips. She stood there awkwardly and said disappointedly, "I searched several shops for the jade bracelet in this box. Just consider it my apology to you."

Yu Jiao frowned and glared at Cheng Ying's back with some displeasure. Liang Wushuang was clearly here to find him, so why was he pestering her? He just watched the show from the side.

She really didn't want to see Liang Wushuang's pretense, so she ignored her and said to Cheng Ying, "It's getting late, and since the governor has things to do, it's better not to look at the peach blossoms."

Liang Wushuang saw that she was so spoiled by talking to Cheng Ying like this. She was secretly happy in her heart, but her face showed a flustered expression. "Miss Liu San, it was Wushuang who disturbed you and the governor. Don't be angry. Wushuang will leave now."

After saying this, she did not move. She looked at Cheng Ying with lingering and affectionate eyes, and said in a miserable and humble voice, "Miss Liu San, Wushuang is different from you. She was born in a humble family. Fortunately, she met the governor and was blessed by him, so she had a place to stay. The governor is a very good person. He didn't know that I was here today. Don't blame him."

Yu Jiao was so angry that she almost laughed. The smell of green tea was so strong that it almost made her feel uncomfortable.

She was about to speak when Cheng Ying suddenly turned around and stared at her with a cold face, "What do you call me?"
