Chapter 316: Water Splashing
Hu Xiner suddenly had an idea.
On the first day back at the Liu Mansion, the eldest old lady once said that she and her biological mother seemed to be carved from the same mold.
In other words, by following her appearance and slightly changing her clothes and hairstyle, you can draw a portrait of her mother!
Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, Chen did not disturb her, but asked the servants to urge the doctor to come quickly.
Hu Xiner lay there absentmindedly for a while, and after her pulse was diagnosed, she immediately returned to her Lanxin Garden.
"Young Madam, what are you doing?" Yun Qiu was a little confused.
Hu Xin'er smiled mysteriously: "You'll know in a moment. First, bring me a mirror and place it next to the desk. Use it to reflect my face."
Then she walked to the desk, picked up a pen and drew a portrait of her mother. After the ink dried, she went to the upper room to find the second old lady.
When Hu Xin'er left, she took the green bamboo pen with her. The characters she drew with it were lifelike.
However, on the way to the upper house, he met two unexpected people - Liu Zhi and Liu Qingyi.
Hu Xin'er originally wanted to pretend that she couldn't see it by walking with her head down.
It's not that she doesn't understand the etiquette between these noble families, but she thinks that people like Liu Zhi are not worthy of her courtesy!
But she wanted to go her separate ways, but Liu Zhi refused to give up.
If she had been a little wary of Hu Xiner, the sudden addition to the family, now she was clearly disgusted and disdainful of him.
Because, Hu Xiner's act of shielding the Second Old Lady was nothing more than joining the Second Old Lady's camp.
Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Zhi stood in front of Hu Xin'er with a half-smile: "Xin'er, what are you going to do?"
"Nothing, just strolling around." Hu Xiner bowed and didn't want to pay too much attention to her.
"Didn't you get hit on the back just now? How come you have the energy to hang out now?" The smile on Liu Zhi's lips widened, as if he had something on Hu Xiner.
Hu Xin'er didn't want to argue with her any further, so she said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm not seriously injured."
Although both are aunts, Liu Zhi is a smiling tiger, while Jiang Yao is a cold beauty. They may not seem like anything special when viewed alone, but when compared together, you will find that Jiang Yao is much cuter!
At least she is a real villain, not a hypocrite. Even if she does something bad, she is always open and honest about it. She always complains about people to their faces and will not try to trick you behind your back.
Thinking of this, Hu Xin'er said directly: "Aunt, where are you going? If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
The sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the courtyard exuded a faint fragrance. Several servants walked by, whispering, "How long will you stay this time, young master?"
"I heard it's half a year. I wonder which sister will be so lucky to win the favor of the young master!"
Hu Xiner glanced sideways. It looked like these were the maids in Liu Yanchuo's yard. They were holding basins of water and other things in their hands, and no one knew what they were going to do.
Liu Zhi originally wanted to stop Hu Xin'er and set some rules, but when he saw so many maids passing by, he put on a smile and took Hu Xin'er's hand: "I'm going to..."
However, Liu Qingyi did not have such meticulous thoughts as her. When she looked at the Tianshui blue horse-faced skirt, the exquisite embroidery on the collared shirt, and the round gold and pearl hairpins on her temples, her eyes became hot.
The material of Tianshuibi is so precious, even she only has one! Thinking back to the thousand-year-old ginseng that Hu Xin'er used up earlier...
"This should have been mine!" Liu Qingyi thought bitterly, "It's all because of those bitches from the Second House who bullied my grandfather and made me, a legitimate daughter, end up in this situation!"
She felt that she was the legitimate daughter, while Hu Xin'er and Liu Yanchao were just illegitimate children.
A person born out of wedlock should be as humble as a dust ant by nature!
But why, why was she often scolded as stupid as a pig by her grandfather at home, and why did she always fail in her marriage proposals.
However, Liu Yanchuo, a bastard with only good looks, was able to easily reject the marriage proposal from the Duke's Mansion!
Hu Xin'er was even more outrageous. They were both granddaughters, but as soon as she entered the mansion, she was favored by Old Master Liu, and everyone in the mansion had to call her "Young Miss."
Moreover, the man she married was Lu Yunjue!
Lu Yunjue, that is the man that all the women in the capital dream of marrying.
"Why can they climb over my head one by one!" Liu Qingyi thought so, his eyes turned red with anger, and he stared at the gold and pearl hairpin on Hu Xiner's temples.
All these good things and good marriages should have originally belonged to her!
If the Second House didn't exist, she would replace Hu Xin'er, no, she would surpass Hu Xin'er and become the most dazzling existence in the capital!
Hu Xiner couldn't imagine her train of thought at all. She felt that her dress today was not outstanding, who knew that it would offend Liu Qingyi's eyes?
She noticed Liu Qingyi's hostility and her heart was immediately alarmed, but before she could get rid of Liu Zhi's hand, she was splashed with water!
Liu Qingyi actually snatched the basin of water from a passing servant and splashed it at her!
Fortunately, the weather is cold now and she is wearing thick clothes. Otherwise, if it were summer, wouldn’t she be exposed after drinking this basin of water?
Yun Qiu angrily stepped forward and shook off Liu Zhi's hand: "What are you doing?!"
Hu Xiner didn't care about all this and quickly opened the painting in her hand, but water had also been poured on the painting and the ink had melted in some places.
This painting is completely ruined!
The little maidservant next to her fell to her knees in fear.
When Liu Zhi saw the opened portrait, his pupils constricted: "How did you get her portrait?!"
Yun Qiu angrily said, "This was painted by our wife herself, and you guys ruined it right after it was finished! You two are really going too far!"
What?
Now even Liu Qingyi, who had just vented his anger, was surprised.
After all, she was born in the Liu family, so she could naturally tell that the ink on the painting was new.
But how long had it been since that farce? How could Hu Xin'er have created such an exquisite painting?
Liu Qingyi thought of her own painting skills and said angrily, "You woman are too narcissistic. You actually painted your own portrait!"
Liu Zhi quickly calmed herself down. She said sarcastically, "Qingyi, you're too young to know that your sister is actually drawing her mother!"
Liu Qingyi curled her lips: "Mom, don't scare me, didn't her parents die because of her?"
Liu Zhi pretended to be panicked and said, "Be careful with your words! Actually, her mother was unfaithful and was kicked out of the Liu family. Alas, now that she's married, she's come back alone—"
She said with a very sinister intention: "I am really worried that she will follow in her biological mother's footsteps!"
