Chapter 305: Why Do Women Make Things Difficult for Each Other?
"What's wrong?" Her expression softened somewhat, but the coldness in her eyes remained.
“A few days ago, that little rascal from the Yuan family beat up Zhu’er, and today Yuan Siyin sent someone to the mansion to embarrass Master. I was thinking, do you have any ideas…”
"The Yuan family? He offended the Yuan family?"
Madam Wang hurriedly explained, "It was just children playing around. Who knew that the Yuan siblings would deliberately cause trouble? Zhu'er is now covered in blood from being beaten by the master and can't move on the bed. How can I feel good about this?"
"So you want me to deal with Yuan Siyin?"
"I won't force you, but I've raised you with so much hardship, and now your younger brother..."
Before Wang could finish speaking, Shen Ruolan sneered and went into the inner room. A short while later, she came out angrily and threw a stack of papers in front of her: "Mother's heart is so biased!"
All they ever do is worry about their uncle and brother, they can't see what I, their daughter, have done!
At first, Wang's expression was somewhat embarrassed, but after picking it up and looking at it, she was immediately shocked: "Where...where did you find all this? I clearly bribed them with silver..."
"Naturally, it was Yuan Siyin's doing!"
Shen Ruolan sat down again, annoyed: "Does Mother really think I don't want to punish her to vent my anger?"
"When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. I've thought of a plan, but my uncle and brother's little scheme ruined everything!"
Wang lowered her head and remained silent for a long while before struggling to stammer, "They didn't know either. If they knew you had a plan, how could they have let Yuan Siyin have something on you?"
Shen Ruolan was so angry that she couldn't speak. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the tea box in Xiyue's hand and, in a fit of rage, swept her sleeve and knocked it to the ground: "I, as a daughter, truly cannot accept my mistress's kindness!"
If Mother truly feels guilty towards me, there's no need for further accusations. As long as Shen Ruozhu is kept in check, that would be a great relief!
"you!"
Wang was also furious: "He's your own brother!"
"My stepmother is also my own mother, yet she shows no affection whatsoever for her daughter!"
"She's not even as good as the eldest mistress. The matriarch has such a magnanimous spirit; she even sends people over with snacks during festivals. This young lady only knows how to clean up her uncle and brother's messes!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than a resounding slap landed across her face.
Wang was so angry that she trembled and couldn't utter a complete sentence, while Shen Ruolan covered her face and straightened up, her beautiful eyes filled with hatred.
The two parted on bad terms, and Shen Ruolan didn't leave the house for several days afterward, even waiving the greetings from her concubines.
...
Yuan Siyin sat in front of the dressing table, closed her eyes and yawned slightly, "Good Ziyuan, remember to wear fewer hairpins. Your young lady's neck wants to live a few more years."
Ziyuan feigned helplessness while dodging her questions, but her actions were swift and decisive: "Miss, how can we be lazy on His Majesty's birthday? Every hairpin has a specific standard. If others see something amiss, who knows what they'll say behind our backs."
"Do they have that much free time?"
"Two years ago you wore two hairpins, and you were criticized for a long time. Later, you got so angry that you decided to go all the way and didn't wear any hairpins at all, and the Empress Dowager even scolded you for that."
No wonder she just tied her hair up in a high ponytail and went out.
I really miss the days when I could relax and have an easy life.
Yuan Si sighed and gave in: "Then you can wear three hairpins, no more than that."
"Six hairpins are needed, Miss."
Yuan Siyin: "..." Oh my god.
Why do women have to make things difficult for each other, Ziyuan?!
