Chapter 475 Sharing the Bracelets
"You..." Feng Yan looked at Dong Guihu standing in front of Xiao Jiuyue, and her angry words were instantly stuck in her throat.
Xiao Jiuyue said innocently, "Miss Feng, is it true that your rule is that you can teach my maid a lesson, but I can't teach your maid a lesson on your behalf?"
"Or is it that Miss Feng's status is more noble? So she can beat and scold other people's maids at will? And not take other people's masters seriously?" Xiao Jiuyue said coldly. As long as Feng Yan dared to respond, Feng Yan would have the reputation of being arrogant and domineering in the future!
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Feng Yan didn't dare to respond. The corners of her mouth twitched. If she hadn't been concerned about the many people around her, she would have wanted to slap him directly. She said, "Yu Xin was worried that I would be tripped by you, so she was loyal to her master."
"Ms. Feng, you didn't stand firmly, so don't blame me. Your maid scolded me without knowing the truth, and I was just being nice, so I only slapped her twice. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have lost their lives."
Xiao Jiuyue's light words made Feng Yan feel familiar again.
"That's right, Sister Xiao, are you okay?" Song Yu walked over, supporting her lower back and said, "Sister Xiao, you are the eldest daughter of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion. If anything really happened, I'm afraid your life wouldn't be enough to compensate you."
Cheng'en Marquis Mansion?
When Feng Yan heard the name, she exclaimed in surprise: "Are you the eldest daughter of the Xiao family?" When she first came to Beijing, she heard about the Xiao family. The eldest daughter of the Xiao family and the Yongchang Marquis's broken engagement had caused a lot of uproar.
Rumor has it that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family is both talented and beautiful.
"Miss Feng, you know me?" Xiao Jiuyue said modestly, "I've been away from Shengjing for over three years. I never thought Miss Feng would still know me!"
"Miss Xiao's reputation in Shengjing is quite renowned." Feng Yan's expression changed slightly. If she had known that she was the eldest daughter of the Cheng'en Marquisate, why would she have insisted on snatching such a bracelet? She explained awkwardly, "Miss Xiao, I thought you had just arrived in Shengjing, so..."
"I just returned to Shengjing not long ago. It's normal for Miss Feng to remind me of some rules." There was a hint of sarcasm in Xiao Jiuyue's words.
Feng Yan pretended not to hear the sarcasm in the words. She forced a smile and said, "Miss Xiao, it was all a misunderstanding just now. Yu Xin is just too concerned about me. Yu Xin, why don't you apologize to Miss Xiao!"
Feng Yan knew very well how she became the concubine of the Second Prince. It was not worth it to have an enemy like Xiao Jiuyue under the tree!
"Miss." Yu Xin was shocked. Why was it that when other maids were beaten, not only was she beaten back twice as hard, but now she had to apologize to the person who beat her?
Feng Yan glanced at her coldly, and Yu Xin apologized obediently.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Feng Yan knew very well what happened today, and didn't dare to say anything more and wanted to leave.
Shopkeeper Feng said, "Miss Feng."
Feng Yan listened to Shopkeeper Feng's voice, followed his line of sight, and instantly said, "Yuxin, what's going on? Haven't you paid the money yet?"
"Miss, we don't have enough silver." Yu Xin said softly, "Only two hundred taels."
"The remaining ten taels of silver are your thanks to Miss Feng for her generosity." Shopkeeper Feng smiled and reached out to take the two hundred taels of silver from Yuxin's hand.
Feng Yan looked at the silver and felt as if his flesh was being cut. Two hundred taels to buy a bracelet. In an instant, Feng Yan felt that the bracelet was not good-looking!
"Sister Xiao, it has to be you." Song Yu gave Xiao Jiuyue a thumbs-up and said, "Last time at the Qiqiao Feast, Miss Feng stole the show and scolded the daughter of a seventh-rank official to the point of hanging herself!"
Song Yu whispered to Xiao Jiuyue, "Those who know think she's a concubine, but those who don't think she's an imperial consort."
Song Yu's voice was low, and only she and Xiao Jiuyue heard it.
Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyebrows. "She wanted to raise the price to buy the bracelet herself, so don't blame me. Xiaoyu, when can you come to my house and play?"
"Okay!" Song Yu agreed readily, then pulled the woman beside her and introduced her, "Sister Xiao, this is my husband's sister-in-law, Zou. Sister-in-law, this is the Sister Xiao I often mentioned to you."
"Sister-in-law Zou." Xiao Jiuyue took the initiative to greet her. She was quite shocked when Song Yu and Hao Jingfeng got married. Knowing that their relationship had something to do with her, she marveled at the wonder of fate.
Regarding the previous salt well incident, she asked someone to find Hao Jingfeng, who happened to run into Song Yu who was being harassed by someone and rescued her directly.
This story of a hero saving a beauty, the two of them soon became a couple!
"I've heard that Miss Xiao is extremely beautiful. Seeing her today, it's clear that she is a fairy from heaven." Zou's words of praise and gentle tone did not offend people.
"Since Sister Zou said so, I must try and see if I can fly like a fairy." Xiao Jiuyue said jokingly, and everyone laughed for a moment.
After agreeing with Song Yu on a certain day to visit, Xiao Jiuyue left with her people. As soon as she got on the carriage, she said, "Donggui, buy some hot eggs."
"Luo Kui, how are you? Does it hurt?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at the slap marks on Luo Kui's face and frowned, "I should have used a little more force just now."
"Miss, it hurt a lot just now, but now it doesn't hurt at all." Luo Kui grinned and said, "Miss, didn't you see that Yu Xin's maid? She was much worse off than me."
Luo Kui didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but felt happy instead. The young lady was protecting her. She said, "Young lady, does your hand hurt?" Yu Xin's face was swollen like a bun.
Luo Kui took Xiao Jiuyue's hand, looked at her slightly red palm, and blew gently: "Miss, don't do it yourself in the future, I can do it."
Xiao Jiuyue: “…” How come the one who got beaten became like her?
"Miss, here are the eggs." Dong Gui peeled the eggs neatly and rolled the hot eggs on Luo Kui's face. "Miss, I have also avenged Luo Kui."
Xiao Jiuyue and Luo Kui both looked at Donggui. Luo Kui felt the burn and pain from the egg rolling on her face, but she still asked anxiously, "Luo Kui, you didn't poison her, did you? She's the future prince's concubine. It's no big deal for me to get slapped once, and the young lady even slapped me twice in return. If this..."
"Don't worry, I just put some itching powder on their clothes. Who knows if they got stained with something dirty?" Dong Gui said confidently, looking at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Miss, it happened suddenly at the time, so I didn't tell you."
"I will fine myself one month's salary." Dong Gui couldn't stand the master and servant, who acted so arrogant and looked down on others.
“Well done.”
Xiao Jiuyue praised and said, "As long as no one finds out!"
"That's impossible." Dong Gui said firmly.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the slap on Luo Kui's face and took out the bracelets he had just bought and said, "Here, here are these four bracelets. I'll give one to each of you later. Divide them."
"Ah, isn't this the dowry bought for Hua Qing?" Luo Kui was dumbfounded. These bracelets worth seventy or eighty taels were bought for the four of them?
