Chapter 352 Play
"Evian...you are..."
Yin Tao looked at her in amazement. The fabric of the dress she was wearing was better than what she was wearing, and the jewelry on her head was also much more expensive.
She usually goes out with a plain face, but today she has delicate makeup on and looks very beautiful.
She had a bad feeling rising in her heart.
Before she could ask, Dong Cui said directly: "Aunt Yin, this is the new concubine, Aunt Du. In terms of status, Aunt Du is higher than you, and you should have gone to pay your respects, but Aunt Du thought of you as a sister, so she asked the princess to come in person."
Yin Tao's mind suddenly exploded, and she pointed at Yiyun and screamed in disbelief.
"A good concubine? Why is she a good concubine?"
Dong Cui frowned and waved away Yin Tao's hand.
"How dare you! Aunt Du, how can a lowly concubine like you use your fingers on her?"
Yin Tao widened her eyes, staring at Yiyun who looked calm and composed, and suddenly caught a point.
"Du? Is your last name Du?"
Yin Tao only knew that she was the descendant of a criminal and was sent to the Music Bureau as a slave, but she didn't know her last name and didn't think of asking.
"Yes, my name is Du Yun. I changed it to Yiyun because I didn't want people to abuse my real name."
Du Yun said slowly: "Sister, you and I came to the palace to serve the prince, and now we both got what we wanted. I came here today to tell you that we will continue to be sisters and serve the prince wholeheartedly."
"Pooh!"
Qinggao Yin Tao was so angry that she spat in Du Yunna's face and shouted at her.
"You and I are both lowly slaves, how can you be a good concubine! You must have used some seductive tricks to seduce the prince! Do you think you are noble? You are just as lowly as me!"
Du Yun slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva off his face.
She had been subjected to far more humiliating things than this.
Dong Cui glanced coldly at the maid behind Du Yun.
The older one immediately stepped forward and slapped Yin Tao twice in the face.
He scolded with a cold face: "How dare you! How dare you commit treason! It seems that you don't know the rules of the palace. When you go back, ask the princess to send a nanny to teach you the rules!"
Yin Tao covered her burning face and stared at the maid who hit her in disbelief.
"You dare to hit me?"
The maid sneered: "My status as a lowly concubine is the same as yours, and you dare to offend your master. How can I not beat you?"
"you……"
Yin Tao glared at Dong Cui angrily: "You useless slave, are you going to watch your master being beaten by a slave girl?"
Dong Cui raised her eyebrows: "I am a servant of the palace, and I abide by the palace's rules. My aunt made a mistake and was beaten, what can I do? This is called asking for trouble."
Yin Tao was furious, but she understood one thing: she would not get any good treatment in front of this group of people in the palace.
Seeing that it was almost done, Du Yun smiled and said, "I came here today to say goodbye to my sister. In order to avenge me, the prince wants to take me back to Gongzhou to teach the beast who bullied me a lesson. I can't accompany my sister during this period of time."
Yin Tao covered her face, furious.
The little bitch is here to show off!
Her eyes fell on the wooden hairpin on Du Yun's head: "Give me the hairpin...as a souvenir."
Du Yun signaled Dong Cui and the others to go out first.
The three maids withdrew.
Du Yun stepped forward and whispered, "The wooden hairpin was given to me by the Queen. How could I give it to you? I dare not disobey the Queen's order. Don't worry, you and I are both deeply favored by the Prince. I have already reported to the shopkeeper that you have become a lowly concubine and I have become a good concubine. Especially me, I am deeply favored by the Prince. The Prince is ready to fight for his beloved."
"Bitch!"
Yin Tao couldn't bear it any longer, so she rushed forward and grabbed Du Yun's hair, trying to snatch the hairpin.
Du Yun didn't care about his hair being torn and his scalp being poked and bleeding, and he held on to the hairpin tightly.
Dong Cui and the others rushed in and tried their best to separate the two people who were entangled.
Du Yun ran out crying, but Yin Tao was not willing to let her go. She lifted her skirt and chased after her while cursing.
Dong Cui and the others tried to pull it, but failed.
The two of them, one fleeing and the other chasing, rushed into the garden.
Dong Cui and the other three were chasing after them, and they kept shouting, "Aunt Yin, don't be jealous. Aunt Du is the prince's new favorite just like you. Don't bully Aunt Du."
Four or five gardeners were pruning flower branches. One of the women looked up when she heard the sound and looked in astonishment at the two women wandering around the garden.
She recognized it as Evian.
Du Yun met her gaze, hurriedly pulled out the hairpin, and cried, "Sister Yin Tao, please don't take my hairpin. My hairpin is a memory left to me by my mother. I can give you anything you want, except the hairpin!"
Yin Tao went crazy and grabbed Yiyun: "You bitch, you seduced the prince and flattered the princess, you don't deserve this hairpin! Give it to me! All the credit should be mine!"
When Dong Cui and the others saw that the female flower farmer had made eye contact with Du Yun, they immediately rushed over, grabbed Yin Tao and pressed her to the ground, and silently removed her jaw.
Yin Tao was still cursing, and Du Yun hugged the hairpin and cried pitifully: "Sister, this hairpin means a lot to me, and I will never let it down. But you want to use it to betray me and win credit from the prince and princess, isn't that hurting our sisterly feelings?"
The female flower farmer had a gloomy expression on her face. She glanced at Yin Tao who was struggling hard, then squatted down and continued to tend to the flowers and plants.
Du Yun wiped away her tears and returned to the courtyard that the princess had just assigned to her, and threw the wooden hairpin on the table.
The show was over and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Her two maids came in.
The leading maid bowed and said, "Auntie Du, I will go and report to the princess."
"good."
Du Yun nodded, thought for a moment, and asked hurriedly, "Are you sure that the flower farmer heard me just now?"
"You should have heard it. Please rest for a while. I will see if the princess has any further instructions."
"Okay, thank you, sister."
Du Yun wasn't feeling well. He was running, crying, and nervous just now, so he was indeed a little tired.
Another maid quickly brought her a bowl of tonic: "Auntie, drink it while it's hot. This is the tonic prescribed by Doctor Shen."
Du Yun took it and drank it quickly.
"I want to see Dad."
She wanted to discuss with her father about accompanying the prince to Gongzhou.
"I will go out and see if the flower farmer has left the house."
"good."
Du Yun sat down obediently.
Her courtyard was not far from Mu Junyan's study, but she had to go through the garden to go out.
After a while, the maid came back and whispered, "That flower farmer deliberately planted flowers nearby, as if he was looking for an opportunity to see my aunt."
Du Yun's whole body tensed up.
She was still afraid.
But the maid who was supposed to report to the princess hasn't come back yet...
“There is a way.”
Du Yun stood up, walked to the desk, tore off a small piece of rice paper, picked up the pen and quickly wrote a few words on it, then rolled it up and stuffed it into the wooden hairpin.
"I'll go out and find a way to throw it away and see if she takes the bait."
The maid nodded: "Then I will follow you out, and then you can find an excuse to get me out of here."
"good."
The maid helped her change into her tunic and skirt, and supported her out of the yard.
In order to make it convenient for her to leave the house or go to Mu Junyan's study without being discovered, Gu Huan specially arranged a place far away from other courtyards.
The two of them walked through the corridor leading to the garden and saw the female flower farmer nearby, trying hard to look over here.
She also saw Du Yun and quickly bent down and pretended to trim the branches.
After Du Yun and the maid walked in, they deliberately said loudly: "I'm a little hungry. Can you help me go to the kitchen to see if there are any snacks?"
The maid responded and turned to leave.
She immediately pulled out the wooden hairpin and threw it towards the female florist not far away.
Seeing this, the female flower farmer pretended to squat down to check the base of the flower branch, reached out and took the hairpin in her hand, and then threw her hairpin back where it was.
Then he turned and left quickly.
Du Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene with Yin Tao today was performed for the female flower growers to see, so as to spread the news that Yin Tao had betrayed her master.
After a while, the maid came back with a food box.
"It just so happens that the kitchen has made a few snacks for the masters to have as afternoon tea, so I have chosen two for you."
Du Yun smiled slightly and said, "Then let's go back and eat."
