Chapter 912
People say that gold and silver are vulgar, but when something really happens, gold and silver are the things that give people the most confidence.
Just like now, all those people can say is that it's vulgar.
Yao Susu took the two boxes of gold and silver back and had them taken to the storeroom.
A few days later, when she went to pay her respects to her mother-in-law again, her sisters-in-law, who had not been kind to her before, greeted her with smiles again.
Yao Susu's attitude towards them remained the same as before, neither too close nor too distant, neither too warm nor too cold.
As for Madam Ying, she didn't care about anything else. As long as the family was harmonious, that was enough for her.
Now that things have settled down for Yao Susu, she even sent her maid back to the Marquis's residence to tell Huo Zhao about her situation, so that Huo Zhao wouldn't have to worry about her anymore.
When the maid returned home, she naturally came back laden with spoils.
Jixiang escorted the maid back, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Ding Yu and Qi Jing.
Now, Qi Jing has left the Marquis's mansion and moved to the house that Huo Zhao had previously arranged for people to clean up.
I don't know why I came here today.
However, it's unlikely that anything good came of the two of them coming together.
Just as Jixiang was about to pretend she hadn't seen them, Qi Jing took two steps forward and called out to her, "Miss Jixiang!"
Now, Jixiang could no longer leave directly. Instead, she turned around and said stiffly, "Miss Qi, what brings you here?"
Qi Jing seemed oblivious to Ji Xiang's reluctance and said with a smile, "Although I am no longer a concubine of the Marquis's mansion, I am still a relative of the Marquis's mansion. The people inside are my cousins. What's so strange about me coming to visit?"
"Oh?" Jixiang looked her up and down. "Since Miss Qi is here to visit relatives, why did you come empty-handed?"
Now it was Qi Jing's turn to have a stiff smile.
When she left the Marquis's mansion, she imagined her life after leaving the mansion to be wonderful, but she never expected that they would be penniless!
She at least had some silver and jewelry to rely on, while Ding Yu was truly penniless. Neither of them were the type to endure hardship, and sure enough, in just a few days, they had almost spent all the money they had on hand.
Fortunately, they weren't entirely alone in Luoyang City; they still had the Marquis's residence.
So the two of them discussed it and then went to the door.
Even without her saying it, Jixiang knew exactly what Qi Jing was thinking, and she gave them a cold look: "We haven't forgotten the methods Miss Qi used back then, but Miss Qi, you're quite something. First you were comfortably eating and using the Marquis's money in the Marquis's mansion, and now that you've left, you still want to spend the Marquis's money?"
Her ruthlessness made Qi Jing's face even uglier: "Miss Jixiang, no matter what, I'm no longer with the Marquis's mansion, but I'm still a relative of the Marquis's mansion, so I'm practically a mistress. How dare you, a mere servant, speak to me like that?"
Huo Zhao really spoiled Ji Xiang way too much!
Back when she was at home, Qi Jing was always surrounded by servants and had seen many of them, but she had never seen anyone as arrogant as Ji Xiang before!
Jixiang sneered: "You have to show the attitude you should to the person standing opposite you. It is precisely because I am mindful of my status that I dare not give Miss Qi a good look. Otherwise, what if Miss Qi comes here to beg for money?"
This sentence essentially tore away Qi Jing's last fig leaf.
Qi Jing's face had already turned red, but Ji Xiang seemed oblivious: "If Miss Qi has nothing else to say, this servant will take her leave."
After saying that, Jixiang turned and left.
Qi Jing called her several times, but couldn't stop her.
Watching Jixiang's figure disappear behind the screen wall, Qi Jing stomped her foot in anger: "What kind of mess is this!"
Ding Yu's face also looked extremely ugly.
He was a scholar, and when it came to propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame, he valued them more than Qi Jing did.
Ding Yu spent a whole night mentally preparing himself before finally taking this step.
