"Say something. You are so eloquent in front of my aunt, but you are mute in front of me?" The girl stepped forward and looked at Min Yuqing with disdain.
Min Yuqing's expression was calm, her voice clear and every word she spoke was extremely clear: "My cousin, whether Master Wu and I are a good match or not is a matter that Master Wu and Madam Wu have the final say on. You might as well ask Madam Wu and Master Wu instead of asking me here."
"Min Yuqing, it was you who used your coquettish tactics to make my cousin and aunt like you."
"Methods? You're flattering me, cousin. You just said I'm not as pretty as you, and I'm also shabby. How can you deceive people with such tactics? Do you think too highly of me, or do you look down on Madam Wu and Master Wu?"
"You?" The girl raised her hand to hit someone.
Min Yuqing's eyes suddenly became fierce. "Cousin, if you strike me with this palm, everyone will know your ugly face of admiring Master Wu and being jealous of the man he is betrothed to."
"You dare."
"You, a girl in the boudoir, have the audacity to compete for a man who's already engaged. Why shouldn't I?" Min Yuqing glanced coldly at the three maids behind her. "Our young lady has done something so absurd and inappropriate, and instead of trying to stop her, you're actually allowing her to do it. Although you're not maids of the Wu family, I'm sure Madam Wu will have you sold out to protect her young lady's reputation."
The word "sell" made the three maids look at each other in bewilderment.
Chen Heng, watching this scene from a distance, was surprised to see Min Yuqing so imposing against four people. Although Min had been a womanizer since she was young, she had none of the vulgarity of a life worn down by the world, nor did she look like a woman from a poor family.
"The maid greets Madam Shen." A greeting voice suddenly came from the maid of the Wu family.
Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Heng.
Chen Heng: “…” Her eavesdropping was discovered.
The maidservant of the Wu family walked up to Min Yuqing and bowed: "Miss Min, Miss Cousin, the Madam is looking for you."
The cousin didn't expect that someone was eavesdropping here. She looked annoyed and regretful. She stamped her feet and ran away.
Min Yuqing didn't expect Madam Shen to be here. She didn't feel awkward at all. Instead, she relaxed her brows and bowed, "Madam Shen, how are you?"
Shen Heng smiled: "Miss Min is majestic."
Mighty? Well, Min Yuqing was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry for making Madam Shen laugh just now."
Chen Heng said, "This is how you should treat those who push you too far. Otherwise, you'll end up being manipulated."
"Yes." Min Yuqing smiled gently. When she saw Madam Shen just now, she knew that she would help her. The person that Madam Shen liked would not be bad. "Madam Wu, please wait for Yuqing. Yuqing will go ahead."
"My lady." Ah Chan looked at the disappearing figure of Miss Min and stuck out her tongue: "This girl is really amazing, just as amazing as the legitimate daughter that Madam Feng mentioned."
"Young lady?" Shen Heng was slightly surprised. Liu Zhiyue?
Ah Chan nodded and said, "Madam Feng often tells us about the palace, and that's how the eldest daughter scolds people." As she spoke, she began to imitate him.
Chen Heng was amused. This serious look really did resemble him.
Suddenly, she remembered what Xie Jian had said. "She's from nearby Xiao County and only moved to the Imperial City two years ago. Her mother died young, and four years ago, her father was paralyzed by a thief. She has an older sister and a younger brother. Her older sister also went insane four years ago. She's the only one supporting the family."
Four years ago? This time was a bit sensitive for her.
She wore it four years ago.
