Chapter 248: Newcomers laugh while old ones cry?
Li's smiling face suddenly turned cold. "Madam Sun, you are so capable! The Fourth Master has only been away for a little over two months, and how dare you ride roughshod over this concubine? Why is this how my sister taught you?"
As he said this, he looked at Ulanara with a half-smile in his eyes.
Ulanara pursed her lips tightly, and meeting Li's provocative gaze, she finally unclenched her fist and said, "Madam Sun, you've overstepped your bounds."
Nanny Sun glanced at her own wife, then stepped forward and bowed slightly to Li. "Madam, I have spoken carelessly."
Li raised an eyebrow, thinking that Ulanara was in a good mood today. She then glanced at Nanny Sun and said calmly, "I've always been close to my sister, but it's you, an old hag, who's trying to sow discord between us sisters. Honestly... you really should be dragged out and beaten to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him instantly froze.
The expression on Ulanara's face, which had just relaxed, suddenly turned cold: "Li, don't go too far!"
Li glanced at the furious Ulanara and the frightened princesses below, her smile undiminished: "Sister, I was just joking. Look at you, why are you still angry?"
Without waiting for Ulanara's reply, he said to his subordinates: "I heard that my sisters came to the mansion today, and I don't have anything to give you. So I will give you some small gifts." As he said that, he glanced at Dong Chan beside him.
Dong Chan immediately sent the three boxes down one by one.
Li stood up at the right moment and adjusted the tassels on her temples: "I am also tired, so I won't disturb you all from chatting."
He glanced at the very ugly face of Ulanara at the top with a half-smile, but held Dongchan's hand and left leisurely with various postures.
After she left, the people below finally came back to their senses. Liu carefully opened the box in her hand, was immediately startled, and subconsciously looked at Fu Jin's expression.
The reward given to them by Concubine Li was also bracelets?
This hollowed-out Hetian white jade bracelet was of much better quality than the one Fu Jin had given her. It also came with a pair of white jade earrings, also excellent items...
The Ulanara family sat at the top, and from this angle it was impossible to see what was inside Liu's box, but from the looks of their faces it was clear that Li had made a big purchase.
With her fists clenched tightly in her wide sleeves, Ulanara had no intention of talking to them, so she asked them to take their maids and servants and stay in the courtyard that had been arranged in advance.
Outside, as soon as Liu came out, she couldn't help whispering to Yin next to her: "This Concubine Li is really amazing. The bracelet she gave is even more valuable than the Concubine's..."
Yin glanced at the servant who had just been assigned to her side and just smiled without saying anything.
This Liu is really stupid. All these servants were arranged by Fu Jin. Isn't she afraid that these words will reach Fu Jin's ears?
Moreover, the concubine had clearly been trying to win her over, bestowing her with the most rewards of the three. If she accidentally angered the concubine, she would likely suffer. Judging from what had just happened, the Fourth Concubine, who was often described as having the best temperament, was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
However, Yin was also somewhat relieved. Fortunately, Liu didn't look like a smart person. Otherwise, with her appearance, she would definitely be a formidable opponent.
Having met all these people in the Fourth Master's mansion, Yin felt more confident.
Although her appearance was not as good as that of Concubine Jin and Lady Liu, judging from their temperaments, it seemed that they would not be able to stay together for long.
Her elder sister was beautiful and outgoing, yet her father always favored her. Her looks were comparable to Fu Jin's. If she was more gentle and considerate, over time, the Fourth Master's heart would surely drift towards her.
For a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
"Sister Yin, how can the concubine wear such a red dress? Her red is much more gorgeous than mine. It's a rich crimson, almost the same as the red at first glance. The color is even more gorgeous than the concubine's..."
As he said this, he carefully glanced at Jinghao Hall behind him and curled his lips.
The wife is not as gorgeous as the concubine, nor does she dress as luxuriously as the concubine. Naturally, she is not as good-looking as herself. No wonder the maid next to the wife got angry when she wore brighter clothes!
Yin glanced at the maid beside her, patted Liu's hand and said, "Sister Liu, the wife taught us the rules for our own good. You must never say such things again."
As he said this, he squeezed Liu's hand with some force.
Remind Liu that Yin also wants to have a good relationship with her. After all, this woman is outstanding in appearance and she should be favored for some time.
Liu frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Why are you pinching me when we are talking nicely?"
Thinking of the red skirt incident, Liu felt unhappy again. She pushed Yin away and walked away by herself.
Yin's face turned pale and blue, but she knew that the maid next to her was watching her, so she followed obediently without making a sound.
Niuhulu, who was standing beside them, saw the whole scene, but her face remained expressionless as she followed the crowd from a distance.
Soon, what Liu and his companions said reached Ulanara's ears verbatim.
Bang!
Ulanara slammed her hand on the table. "Well, a concubine dared to show off in front of me, that's fine. She has children and is favored by the Fourth Master. I can't touch her! Now, a bitch who has never even seen the Fourth Master dares to bully me? Good, that's really good!"
"Fujin, please calm down. The princesses are young and ignorant. They can't tell who is the real mistress of the mansion."
Ulanara laughed coldly, "Young? When I was fifteen, I had already been married to the Fourth Master for two years! Since they are so ignorant, they should be tempered!"
"Well, I'll tell the steward later that he can relax a bit and not work so hard these days."
Nanny Sun offered a cup of tea as she spoke. "Don't be angry, Fu Jin. They are just some ignorant little girls. It's not worth it to get yourself sick with anger. In two days, our Prince will be back. Fu Jin, you must take good care of yourself and give me a plump little prince when the time comes."
Ulanara took the teacup, took a sip, and her expression looked a little better.
"The flower-like little girl has already entered the mansion, how can Lord Beile still see me?"
Nanny Sun smiled and said, "Fujin, you are so graceful and elegant, how can those little girls compare to you?"
Ulanara smiled noncommittally, then suddenly asked seriously, "Look, are these guys up to par?"
Nanny Sun knew that her wife was worried that the new ladies wouldn't be able to share Li's favor. "Don't worry, wife. It's always the case that new people laugh and old people cry. Liu is beautiful, and she has some of Li's flamboyant demeanor from her youth. The prince will probably like her."
