Liang Wushuang's ambiguous words made it seem as if Yu Jiao and she were jealous of Cheng Ying, and that they were both Cheng Ying's women.
If this news were to get out, who knows how Yu Jiao would be criticized.
Song Jingrong frowned when she heard this, "Miss Liang, what is your identity? Although everyone calls you Madam Wushuang, you are just a servant outside the palace. Have you forgotten your own identity? Yu Jiao is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, and Cheng Dugong adopted her as his daughter after the imperial decree. In theory, she is the master, and you are just a maidservant. How can you cry and make a fuss in front of the master? It's only because sister Yu Jiao is kind-hearted, otherwise such a maid who doesn't follow the rules and doesn't know the difference between superiors and subordinates should have been severely punished long ago!"
Although Liang Wushuang knew Song Jingrong's identity, she never thought that she would be so powerful as soon as she opened her mouth. She directly described her as an inferior person like a maid. However, she really had no status when following Cheng Ying, and was not even considered a concubine. She opened her mouth but could not think of any words to refute.
Song Jingrong glared at her. Although her smile was still gentle and generous, it was a little bit sharp. "Sister Yu Jiao has just come of age. Why are you asking Cheng Dugong whether he will come to your courtyard in front of her? You are really a traitor to a young girl who has not yet married. If you have the guts, go and cry in front of Cheng Dugong. Why are you pestering a young girl again and again?"
Liu Yaoyu wanted to applaud Song Jingrong when she heard this. In the past, she only knew that Song Jingrong was dignified and gentle, but she didn't expect that she had such a powerful side!
Song Jingrong looked at Yu Jiao again, "You have a bad temper too. Just tell the maid to send away such an annoying and ignorant person. You give her respect and dignity, but she may not want it herself!"
Yu Jiao lowered her head, looking as if she had taken Song Jingrong's words to heart.
Liang Wushuang could tell that Song Jingrong was making a veiled attack on someone else. Her face turned pale, knowing that the show could not go on today. She was secretly annoyed that she should not have said too much just now. She pinched her palms and hardened her heart. In this situation, she could only take the risk.
"Wushuang was impatient and stupid. She said the wrong thing. Miss Song blamed her for saying that Miss Liu San was the master and Wushuang was just a lowly person." Liang Wushuang admitted her mistake timidly. She was extremely humble and bowed to Yu Jiao. "Wushuang is stupid and didn't think so much. She didn't mean any harm in what she said. Wushuang was just too afraid of being abandoned by Cheng Dugong. To be honest, my father died early. I used to live with my mother by selling bean juice. We were often bullied and teased by those noble sons of well-born families. Later, I won the favor of Cheng Dugong and lived a good life without worries."
Liang Wushuang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just too scared to go back to the days I used to live."
There was silence in the private room for a moment, and Yu Jiao did not respond to Liang Wushuang's words.
"Now that things have come to this, Wushuang does not expect to be forgiven by Miss Liu San." Liang Wushuang took out a silver and gold hairpin with a phoenix butterfly pattern from his sleeve and looked at Yu Jiao with pleading eyes. "Last time, Miss Liu San did not like the jade bracelet I prepared for her, so Wushuang specially went out to buy this hairpin. Please accept it, Miss Liu San. Wushuang will not bother her again in the future."
Yu Jiao said calmly, "No need for that. Miss Liang should keep the hairpin for herself. There is no deep hatred between you and me. We should just go our separate ways from now on."
Liang Wushuang pushed the hairpin into Yu Jiao's hand and begged, "Just consider it for Mr. Lu Qian's sake... Miss Liu San will accept this apology, Wushuang will feel much better, and I will never bother Miss Liu San again in the future."
Yu Jiao felt a little uncomfortable when she heard her mention Lu Jin. She endured it and said, "Senior Brother Lu once told me that you are not a bad person by nature. You are a very good girl. When you were in Taoxi Lane, you were simple and honest. It is not necessarily a good thing for Miss Liang to be too eager. You must remember your original intention and you will succeed."
A dark light flashed in Liang Wushuang's eyes, "I've taken note of what Miss Liu San said!"
Liang Wushuang emphasized the second half of the sentence. At the same time, she grabbed Yu Jiao's hand and the hairpin and stroked it on her face.
