Chapter 29 Three Young Ladies
"Miss Yun, can you please tell me where you are going next time? Guard Xiao scolded me yesterday because of you." Aunt Wang's tone was filled with a hint of blame.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Wang. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just afraid that you would tell the Marquis if I told you." Yun Wansheng said a little embarrassedly.
"Miss Yun, I have nothing to do, so why don't you go shopping for clothes with me?"
Yun Wansheng knew that she was worried about him and was lying to her again: "Okay! If you're okay, then follow me!"
Anyway, she is not leaving now, so I can just let her stay with me for a few days and rest assured. After a while, she will no longer be wary of me.
As the master and servant were talking, they came to a busy street market and then entered a clothing shop.
"Miss Yun, what do you think of this one? I think this color suits you very well." Aunt Wang smiled flatteringly.
Yun Wansheng took the pink dress and looked at it: "Isn't this color too young?"
"You look better when you look younger. You're only seventeen, and this color is perfect for you."
"I don't like brightly colored clothes. Let's take a look." Yun Wansheng put the clothes back.
At this time, a woman's voice came over: "Isn't this my cousin?"
Yun Wansheng looked towards the person when she heard the voice, and saw three brightly dressed young ladies standing near her.
"It's you three ladies. Are you here to buy clothes too?" Yun Wansheng greeted them naturally.
"Miss cousin, please don't blame me for being nosy. There is something I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Miss Song said in embarrassment.
"Just say it straight, miss."
"Miss, I don't know what your family is like, but since you are the Marquis's cousin and have come to this remote place, you must be considerate of the Marquis in all your words and actions."
"Oh? I don't know what I said or did to embarrass him?" Yun Wansheng's eyes turned cold.
"Take your clothes for example! As a cousin of the Marquis's family, you can't dress too simply. If people know that you are the Marquis's cousin, they will think that the Marquis has treated you unfairly." Miss Song looked like she was preaching.
"What's your name, miss?"
"My surname is Song and my name is Yaqing. My brother is the local prefect." There was a hint of pride on Song Yaqing's face.
"No wonder Miss Song is so nosy. It turns out the prefect is your brother." Yun Wansheng smiled sarcastically, turned around and didn't want to pay any attention to this person.
Song Yaqing was stunned for a moment by her disrespectful words. When she saw her about to leave, she finally reacted and glanced at Miss Zhou beside her.
Miss Zhou immediately understood what she meant and shouted, "Stop right there!"
Yun Wansheng didn't even turn her head and continued to choose new clothes.
"Hey! Do you know any manners? Miss Song is teaching you how to do things for your own good. Don't you know how to be ungrateful?" Miss Zhou rushed to Yun Wansheng and scolded her in indignation.
Yun Wansheng raised an eyebrow and glanced at the arrogant young lady: "Who are you?"
"I'm Zhou Yanyan, a young lady from the Zhou family. My father is the county magistrate in the Qingtian Yamen." Zhou Yanyan put her hands on her hips and gave her name.
"What about you?" Yun Wansheng looked at the young lady next to Zhou Yanyan who was glaring at her with a common hatred for her enemy.
"My name is Sun Xianglan, and my father is the chief clerk." Sun Xianglan said with an arrogant smile.
"It turns out that you are all daughters of officials. No wonder you want to lecture others when you meet them. But have you forgotten? No matter how useless I am, I am still a cousin of the Marquis. It is not your turn to comment on how I do things." Yun Wansheng said coldly.
"You...!" Zhou Yanyan was choked for a moment and didn't know how to refute. After all, they were just looking for trouble by relying on their status and didn't want others to ignore their tricks.
At this time, Song Yaqing stepped forward, her expression full of apology: "Miss Cousin, I'm sorry, we didn't mean any harm just now. We were just trying to protect the Marquis's face. We didn't consider you for a moment. Please forgive us."
Yun Wansheng smiled softly, "Miss Song is still polite."
"Cousin, may I ask your name?" Song Yaqing smiled softly.
"Miss Song, you can just call me Miss Yun."
"Well, Miss Yun, why don't we be friends? To show my sincerity, I'll pay for whatever clothes you want to buy today."
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Song. I don't have the habit of spending other people's money. What about friends? I don't think we are the same kind of people. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the shop without waiting for Song Yaqing to speak.
"Miss Song, she is so rude! How could she just leave without waiting for a reply? No, I must teach this wild girl who came from nowhere a lesson."
Zhou Yanyan said this angrily and chased after them, not letting them dare to ignore them like that.
Song Yaqing was feeling ashamed and angry because she was ignored by that woman. After all, she was the prefect's sister, but she was looked down upon by an ignorant commoner. This made her lose face in front of everyone. When she was thinking about what to do, Miss Zhou stood up for her.
Yun Wansheng walked out of the clothing store with a slightly gloomy face. Before she had gone a few steps, she heard someone behind her shouting angrily, "Wild girl, stop right there."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng stood still as if she was really obedient. This made Zhou Yanyan smile triumphantly, and she walked a few steps in front of her, pointing at her angrily.
"Wild girl, apologize to Miss Song right now. You were rude to her just now."
Yun Wansheng looked back at Song Yaqing and Sun Xianglan who had walked out at some point, and then looked at the domineering Zhou Yanyan.
"Ms. Zhou, are you trying to bully me?" he asked calmly.
"Who bullied you? Don't spit blood at me. Miss Song was so kind as to buy you some clothes, but not only did you not appreciate it, you didn't even give her a chance to reply, and you just walked away in a huff. Even if you're my cousin, you can't just ignore someone's kindness like that."
Yun Wansheng looked at her self-righteous appearance and really admired this woman who seemed reckless and brainless but was actually very smart.
Even though they knew that they were rude first, they still spoke openly about things that were beneficial to them when blaming others.
If someone who doesn't know me hears this, they would really think that I am a person with a humble heart who doesn't know how to be grateful and doesn't understand etiquette.
"Miss Zhou, what are you saying? I was shopping for clothes by myself, and you came up and told me I wasn't dressed properly, and you embarrassed me, and you even spoke rudely.
I just said a few words to you and you bought me clothes. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you have bad intentions. You bully me like this, so why should I care about your face? "
"Who has bad intentions? You still dare to hurt us so badly now. Does your cousin know that you are such a person?"
"Hey! You still know who my cousin is? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell him about you?"
"What do we have to be afraid of? If he cared about you, his cousin, why would he let you go out in such a plain way? Besides, we haven't done anything wrong."
"That's right, Miss Yun, I think you'd better apologize to Miss Song. If you don't apologize, we will go there without waiting for you to complain." Sun Xianglan came over and supported.
"What if I don't apologize?" Yun Wansheng's face turned cold.
