Chapter 228 Who's More Arrogant?
Madam Zheng looked at Madam Min helplessly, "Didn't you say you wouldn't hold a grudge against a young girl? Then what are you doing?"
Madam Min Qiao glared at Madam Zheng reproachfully, "I'm tired from walking. I'd like to sit upstairs for a while, is that alright?"
Madam Zheng glared back at Madam Min in disbelief. They had just finished resting at the teahouse, but still followed Madam Min upstairs.
However, as soon as the two went up to the second floor, they saw the little girl from before fighting with someone for something.
"Hey, what are you doing? I was the one who first took a liking to this lake-blue fabric!"
The girl who was fighting with the little girl over the item was a beautiful girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was also dressed in fine clothes and was clearly a young lady from a wealthy family.
"Just because you saw something you liked doesn't mean it's yours. Have you paid for it yet?"
The young girl reached out and took the silver note handed to her by the maid, slapped it on the counter, and said, "I'll take this piece of cloth."
"Don't sell!" the older girl shouted at the shopkeeper, then turned around, glared at the younger girl, raised her chin, and said with a contemptuous look, "Do you know who I am? How dare you steal my things?"
The little girl scoffed dismissively, "I don't care who you are! I'm just taking it! What can you do about it?"
The older girl suddenly smiled, raised her hand and slapped the younger girl across the face, saying, "You dare to steal my things, so I dare to hit you!" Her arrogance was no less than that of the younger girl.
The little girl was stunned for a moment by the sudden slap, but after she came to her senses, she immediately tried to hit back.
However, before his hand could even touch her, the older girl grabbed it.
He was a few years older, taller, and much stronger.
Unable to break free, the little girl angrily yelled at her maids and servants, "Are you all dead? Can't you see I'm being bullied? Grab her right now!"
Seeing that the little girl's maid and servant were about to make a move, the older girl was not afraid at all and slapped the little girl across the face again.
"Aaaaah! You dare hit me! You're dead! I'm going to kill you!..."
The little girl was so angry that she screamed and cried, tears streaming down her face.
From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever dared to lay a finger on her!
That bitch dared to hit her! She even slapped her twice!
She'll pay her back a hundredfold, a thousandfold! No, that's not enough! She'll kill her!
The maids and servants around the young girl could also tell that the other party was no ordinary person, so they did not dare to make a move.
The head maidservant curtsied respectfully and said, "Miss, my young lady is the third young lady of the Yongning Marquis's mansion. Please release my young lady."
Upon hearing this, the older girl released her grip and pushed Miss Yu into the arms of the head maid.
Just when Miss Yu thought the other party was scared after learning her identity, she heard the other party scoff, "Who do we have here? It turns out to be the fake young lady that the Dowager Lady of Yongning Marquis's mansion took back from her maiden home to raise!"
"Tsk tsk, back then they lost the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongning and his wife, and then turned around and brought a girl back from her parents' home to pretend to be their daughter."
"Tsk tsk, I wonder if the old lady of the Yongning Marquis's mansion deliberately lost her own granddaughter back then, just to make room for her daughter from her maternal family."
Then, he said contemptuously to Miss Yu, "Tsk tsk, someone like you, who is just pretending to be someone else, dares to call yourself the real daughter of the Marquis of Yongning?"
"Pah! You're a worthless piece of trash! What are you so arrogant about in front of me for!"
"How dare you insult my grandmother?!" Miss Yu was truly enraged this time. She was about to rush forward and fight, but was held back tightly by her head maid.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Miss Yu glared angrily at her maid. "She hit me and dared to slander Grandmother! Didn't you see that?"
The head maid still held onto Miss Yu tightly.
On the contrary, it was precisely because she saw and heard it that she dared not let go.
The fact that the other party dared to assault someone without knowing their young lady's identity, and that they dared to slander even their matriarch after learning her identity, is enough to show that the other party's identity is definitely not simple.
The head maid shook her head at Miss Yu, "Miss, please calm down. Have you forgotten Madam's instructions before you left?"
Miss Yu calmed down a little when she thought of the look in her adoptive mother's eyes, who loathed her so much.
After calming Miss Yu down, the head maidservant curtsied to the girl who had hit her and asked, "May I ask how you are addressed, Miss?"
The girl who had hit the girl glanced at the head maid and sneered, "You do have a good eye. Just for your cleverness, I'll take pity on you and tell you."
"The Zhong family, the sixth in line."
Miss Yu frowned. What, the sixth son of the Zhong family?
The head maid was startled and quickly bowed, saying, "I have offended you greatly today, please forgive me, Miss Zhong."
As he spoke, he picked up the piece of cloth from before and respectfully handed it to Miss Zhong Liu, saying, "My young lady has already paid for this piece of cloth. Please accept it as an apology from my young lady."
Miss Zhong gave a wink to the maid behind her, who then stepped forward and took the fabric.
Seeing that the other party had accepted the fabric, the head maid breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Sixth Miss."
Miss Yu was furious when she saw this.
She was beaten, her grandmother was insulted, and her maid had to give the other party the cloth she had bought as an apology, and then thank them!
What should she thank? The other person for hitting her? Or the other person for accepting the gift?
Despite being furious, Miss Yu managed to hold back her temper and didn't explode.
She is spoiled, but she is not stupid.
This head maid was specially chosen for her by her grandmother from the Marquis's residence after she returned to the capital a few days ago.
It was said that this head maid knew far more about the people and affairs of the capital than those they had brought from their hometowns. She was advised to listen to this head maid in all matters when she was out and about.
Seeing the head maid's respectful manner towards this Miss Zhong, she knew that the other party was probably someone that even their Yongning Marquis's mansion couldn't afford to offend.
Even if they were angry, they dared not do anything more.
Miss Zhong glanced at Miss Yu, seeing her frustrated expression of being clearly angry but not daring to vent, and scoffed disdainfully before turning and leaving with her entourage.
Just as she turned around, she saw Madam Min and Madam Zheng standing at the top of the stairs.
Miss Zhong Liu immediately smiled and curtsied to the two of them, saying, "Zhong Liu greets Madam Zheng and Madam Qiao."
"I'm so ashamed that I've made my elders laugh at me."
"It's alright. A young man who isn't a little wild is a wasted youth. Sixth Sister is just like that. We don't bully others, but we can't let others bully us either, can we?" Madam Zheng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Madam Zheng!" Miss Zhong Liu smiled broadly, looking at Madam Zheng with admiration. "I have admired Madam Zheng since I was a child. I am overjoyed to receive your praise today."
“If Madam Zheng does not find Zhong Liu’s manners offensive, Zhong Liu would like to invite Madam Zheng for a cup of tea.”
As he spoke, he looked at Madam Min Qiao and said, "I also invite Madam Qiao to join us."
"I wonder if the two ladies would do me the honor of joining us?"
