"I firmly say that I intend to leave." Liu Shuangshuang declared again in a resolute tone, "I am determined to obtain the Qin family's wealth and glory. I will also attend tomorrow's flower-viewing banquet. And, mother, you seem to desire the Qin family's wealth and glory more than I do, right?"
Ling Meng's smile froze in an instant.
At this moment, she deeply realized that her daughter was not only an uneducated wild child, but also a born naughty person.
"Okay, I will ask your father to allow you to attend the flower-viewing banquet tomorrow." Ling Meng finally agreed reluctantly.
A bright smile broke out on Liu Shuangshuang's face. She ate the grapes happily and spit out the grape skins inadvertently.
Ling Meng couldn't stand being in the same room with her anymore and fled the room in a hurry.
Outside the door, the maids all stared at her.
The reason why they were willing to work together for her and help her conceal Madam Qin was because of the generous money she offered and the relatively easy work. They thought that if they had to endure the humiliation she brought day after day, they would never be willing to continue.
"Don't worry." Ling Meng said firmly, "I will solve this problem as soon as possible."
The maids then smiled with relief.
Lingmeng walked with firm steps.
I had originally planned to postpone dealing with her for a while, but now it seems... I have to speed up my action.
Liu Shuangshuang was swinging her feet leisurely in the room with a scornful smile on her lips.
What Qin Huaiyu? She is the child of the most favored concubine in the Qin family!
She is the only lady in the Qin family!
Since she can attend tomorrow's flower-viewing banquet, she can too!
She wants everyone to see that Liu Shuangshuang is the real lady of the Qin family!
The next day, guests arrived in an endless stream at the flower-viewing banquet.
After everyone gathered, they discovered that Qin's wife Sheng Yunrong was a despicable character.
They couldn't help but whisper, "Oh my! Why did they invite Sheng Yunrong, this loser woman? She has completely brought shame to us ladies!"
"That's right! Not only did Sheng Yunrong fail to protect the Qin family, she even let herself fall to the point where she could only meditate outside! She watched helplessly as that concubine entered the house in a dignified manner! I was jealous of her etiquette, but she could still pretend that nothing happened and go around saying those disgusting and sour words about missing her husband... It's really embarrassing!"
Sheng Yunrong sat upright at the table but never talked to anyone.
She came today not for any other reason, but just to... watch this show.
The new daughter of the Qin family is definitely not a good person.
She was extremely looking forward to seeing the tense scene between the two daughters of the Qin family.
Her revenge plan...is about to reach a new climax.
In the side hall of the flower-viewing banquet, all unmarried girls of marriageable age were invited to enjoy the flowers.
Qin Huaiyu had already arrived.
She wore the most fashionable pearl hairpin on her head and was dressed in the finest fabrics, and she could not hide the smug look on her face no matter how hard she tried.
"Wow, Huaiyu, these accessories on you are the latest and most expensive, right? Your family is willing to buy them for you? I begged my parents for a long time, but they refused to agree..."
"Yes! Look at this cloth and this pearl hairpin. Your family is so kind to you!"
"Yeah." Qin Huaiyu replied casually, "These are all prepared for me by my father."
Although her grandmother and mother no longer paid attention to her, she benefited from Liu Shuangshuang, the illegitimate daughter.
Her father's care for her is deeper than ever!
I heard that her father even went to visit her insane brother, but unfortunately, her brother could no longer enjoy all the benefits she had.
"Your father is so good to you!"
"That's right! Your father really dotes on you..."
"The daughter of the Qin family has arrived!" A high-spirited announcement interrupted everyone's laughter and the smile on Qin Huaiyu's face like a sudden rain.
At this flower-viewing banquet, Liu Shuangshuang also wore gorgeous clothes and dazzling jewelry, which made her particularly eye-catching.
Everyone held their breath and glanced at Qin Huaiyu's face cautiously, trying to capture her subtle expression.
A flash of anger appeared in Qin Huaiyu's eyes.
This bastard!
How dare you wear the same clothes as her!
As Liu Shuangshuang approached, the young ladies could see clearly that Liu Shuangshuang, the daughter of Qin family's concubine and whose name they had heard of for a long time, was wearing clothes of the same style as Qin Huaiyu's but of a different color.
The same goes for the pearl hairpin on her head.
This scene...
The faces of the young ladies instantly became colorful, and each pair of eyes cast at Qin Huaiyu carried unspeakable depths of meaning.
Qin Huaiyu was just boasting about how much she was loved at home and how much her father loved her, but now...
Everything she had, this Liu Shuangshuang who came from unknown origins could actually get a share of it. It seemed that she was not as favored as she thought.
What's more, it was the first time they saw Liu Shuangshuang, and they didn't expect her to be so ugly!
She is thin and has no aesthetic appeal at all!
Having dark skin is an insult to the identities of these noble women!
The Qin family's reputation has been deteriorating recently and becoming more and more shameful.
"Ha." Liu Shuangshuang walked up to Qin Huaiyu without hesitation, with a sneer of contempt on her face, "Qin Huaiyu, are you surprised? You didn't expect that I could wear such expensive clothes, right?"
The dress and pearl hairpin were chosen for her by her mother herself.
She wore these today just to let Qin Huaiyu know who is the most favored daughter in the Qin family!
Humph! She just crawled out of the belly of the woman who was driven out of the mansion. She came to the mansion a few years earlier than her, and she really thought she was the apple of the Qin family's eye!
But she forgot that her mother was the real mistress of the Qin Mansion!
Qin Huaiyu's face turned pale in an instant, and he almost went forward to bite Liu Shuangshuang.
However, the temperament of a lady from a noble family that Sheng Yunrong had trained her to have over the years made her suppress her anger. She just asked in a slightly cold tone, "Sister, what are you doing here?"
"Can't I come?" Liu Shuangshuang glanced at her sideways with a slight smile on her lips.
It's so boring.
How arrogant Qin Huaiyu is in the mansion!
Whenever he saw her close to her mother, grandmother and father, he would glare at her.
But at this banquet with so many guests, he seemed so timid.
So weak!
Qin Huaiyu forced a smile and said, "I'm just curious about how my sister came to be here. As I recall, there were only two invitations sent out from home, one for me and the other for my father."
"Oh, this one." Liu Shuangshuang said proudly, "My mother asked my father to buy one for me."
"Mother?" Qin Huaiyu felt crazy.
Her grandmother was indifferent to her and her mother was cruel to her, but why did her mother help this bastard to win her father's favor?
Qin Huaiyu's chest rose and fell violently, but her years of upbringing made her only able to squeeze out a cold sentence: "Congratulations, sister. I hope you can enjoy the banquet today."
After she finished speaking, she sat back in her seat coldly, not wanting to look at Liu Shuangshuang again.
Seeing this, Liu Shuangshuang felt even more bored. She just curled her lips slightly, sat aside and started enjoying the food.
Qin Huaiyu was fiddling with the flowers on the table, trying to calm the anger in his heart.
