Chapter 354: Light a Fire in the Backyard
Yu Shengsheng knew the identities of the two women in front of her and had no intention of arguing with them.
Unexpectedly, the woman in pink was very arrogant.
"Hey, isn't today a good day? Why are there still some low-class people coming here? It's really unlucky."
The woman in yellow was startled, then glanced at Yu Shengsheng, covered her lips and said in disgust: "That's right, you are wearing this plain dress, if you don't know, you would think..."
Before he finished speaking, Jin Baobao pointed his finger and said, "Swallow your words. If you can't speak human language, just shut up. No one thinks you are dumb."
The woman in yellow said angrily: "How dare you, a maid, be so arrogant! You have no manners..."
"You have your own rules," Yu Shengsheng said coldly, "You two concubines dared to offend this princess and point at my maid and scold her."
Yu Shengsheng glanced at Luhu, and Luhu immediately understood and went out the door to look at the street.
The woman in yellow was stunned: "You... who are you?"
You actually knew they were concubines?
Jin Baobao said loudly: "This is Princess Ruiyang. You are not polite. My princess will not argue with you, but you insist on bumping into her."
When the two heard that it was actually the princess, they puffed up their cheeks and dared not talk back, only muttering in low voices.
"What kind of princess is this? She's dressed so plainly..."
A cold voice came from the second floor: "The princess is wearing the finest moonlight brocade, which is more than ten times better than what you are wearing."
Yu Shengsheng looked up and saw it was Miao Niangzi.
She walked down the stairs slowly, the ruler still in her hand.
He stepped forward and greeted her, "Princess, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar. I apologize for my inconvenience in taking care of you and causing you displeasure. Please forgive me, Princess."
Yu Shengsheng had a very good impression of Miao Niangzi. The last time she went to the Su Mansion, Miao Niangzi did not look down on her because of her status and was very polite to her.
"Mrs. Miao, you are too polite," Yu Shengsheng said, "It's better if it doesn't affect your business."
Lady Miao nodded: "My princess, what are you talking about? If you need anything, just tell me. I just happened to have made a few new clothes. My princess, take a look. If you like them, you can take them away today."
The woman in pink and the woman in yellow were very dissatisfied when they heard this.
"Miao Niangzi, we were here first, and..."
Lady Miao interrupted with a smile: "In my Jinluo Pavilion, we never follow the first come first served rule. Don't you two know that?"
The two of them choked and said, "Well, we want to see your new clothes, too."
"I'm sorry, you two, but not everyone can see my new clothes."
"You...how do you do business? You are so rude."
Before he could finish his words, someone at the door shouted coldly, "Impolite? You have no shame, and you still expect others to be polite to you?"
Yu Shengsheng turned around and saw that the person she was waiting for had arrived.
Madam Lu strode into the room with her maids and servants. Her aura spread out, forcing the two concubines to take a few steps back.
"We won't argue with you. Let's go."
The two were about to leave, but Mrs. Lu waved her hand and the maid stopped them.
"You left as soon as you saw me. It seems that you know me. If you know me, shouldn't you be polite?"
The two were pressed down by their shoulders and backs, and their struggles were in vain.
"Let us go, we have never offended you."
"No?" Madam Lu sneered, "If it weren't for that bitch Yan's joining our Lu family, if it weren't for her supporting that unpromising brother from her natal family, who would you be? Are you worthy enough to come to this Jinluo Pavilion?"
These two people are the concubines of the Yan brothers.
"Our money is earned by my husband running a pharmacy. It has nothing to do with... with your family."
"Slap him!" Mrs. Lu didn't want to say anything more and gave the order directly.
The old woman was big and strong, and she waved her hand and slapped the two girls in the face.
It swelled up immediately.
The slapping sounds continued and the two girls screamed in agony.
After more than a dozen slaps, the two girls' faces were ruined.
"Someone, take them to the pharmacy, so they don't have to spend money on buying medicine."
The two were dragged out and didn't even have the strength to shout for help.
Madam Lu glanced at Yu Shengsheng, then looked at Madam Miao: "Madam Miao, are my clothes ready?"
Madam Miao nodded and was about to ask someone to fetch it when Yu Shengsheng stepped forward and said, "Madam Lu, may I have a word with you for a moment?"
Madam Lu looked at her again: "This lady remembers you, the niece of the Su family, Princess Ruiyang."
As she said this, she bowed as a gesture of respect.
Yu Shengsheng didn't care: "Madam, you have a good memory. I have something I want to tell you."
Miao Niangzi said, "Please go upstairs and talk. I'll pour tea for you two."
Mrs. Lu didn't know what she was going to say, but she couldn't help feeling confused when she saw that Miao Niang had a different attitude towards her.
Arriving at the cottage, serving tea and closing the door, Madam Lu asked directly: "What does the princess want to say? It seems that there is no contact between the princess, the Lu family and the Su family."
"It will be available soon," Yu Shengsheng smiled and sipped her tea, "Good tea, Madam, try it."
Seeing that she was calm and composed, Mrs. Lu didn't want to lose, so she suppressed her doubts, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I've had the tea from Minister Lu before, and it's as good as the tea here."
Mrs. Lu was startled, and looked at Yu Shengsheng carefully with a sharp look.
Yu Shengsheng smiled lightly: "Madam, please don't misunderstand. Minister Lu and I are on official business. Minister Lu followed my advice on this matter of providing money and grain for disaster relief."
Mrs. Lu was puzzled: "What's your opinion?"
"I didn't even know that the princess could be in charge of these things."
"Every citizen has a duty to take on important matters concerning people's livelihood, not to mention that I am a princess personally appointed by the emperor."
"To thank Minister Lu, I wanted to give him a return gift, but I thought he was too busy to have time, so I happened to meet Madam here."
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Lu knew that this was not a chance encounter.
"My husband is a minister with great responsibilities. He always tells me and our children that we should not accept money or property. I appreciate the courtesy from the princess."
Yu Shengsheng kept smiling: "Madam, you should take a look at what it is first, then it won't be too late to refuse."
"Leopard."
Jin Baobao stepped forward and opened the bag.
The bundle was thin and flat, and looked particularly light. Mrs. Lu wondered what could be put in it?
As soon as the bundle was opened, there was a scent of fragrance.
Although it was much lighter, she could still recognize it at a glance.
She couldn't help but open her eyes slightly and take a closer look. It was a coat. She was very familiar with the style and color.
It belongs to Yan.
Yan was Minister Lu’s favorite concubine before. Although the affection between them has faded a little now, she is still a thorn in Madam Lu’s side.
Especially this Yan, who was searching everywhere for prescriptions for having a child, and her brother even ran a pharmacy.
Madam Lu looked up at Yu Shengsheng, unable to hide her surprise: "How come...the clothes are in the princess' hands?"
Yu Shengsheng said: "Madam, I have more than one piece of clothing in my hands."
"What do you mean, Princess?"
Yu Shengsheng looked at Jin Baobao again.
Jin Baobao took out something again and handed it to Yu Shengsheng.
