Chapter 264 A Vicious Smile
When Du Siyao heard the name Si Nanyan, her eyes turned red.
She quickly raised her head and saw a familiar figure flash past in front of her.
Nan Yan originally thought about not taking a shortcut again, so as to avoid encountering the incident of that day again, so she walked towards the lake. But as soon as she got closer, she saw a group of people walking towards her from the opposite direction.
Du Siyao and the others...
She tried to dodge, but it was too late.
The maid who had been following Du Siyao all the time, who seemed to be one of the new palace maids, Liyun, had already come over and looked at her with a dark face: "Officer of the Imperial Household, our Concubine wants you to pass by."
“…”
"What are you doing here? Come on over here."
She said coldly: "Don't forget your identity."
“…”
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and could only follow her.
Speaking of which, she and Du Siyao haven't seen each other for several months since that fight. Now their identities are of course very different, but - both of them have been canonized as concubines, and they still come to cause trouble for her. Isn't that a bit too petty?
Nan Yan walked up to her and bowed, "Greetings to the Consort, and to all the selected ladies."
"Lady-in-law, long time no see."
Du Siyao said with a sneer.
A good man never suffers a loss in front of him.
Nan Yan also laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the Concubine would enter the palace again and be canonized. It's really a cause for celebration."
I swear to God, what she said was actually a compliment to her.
After all, one is a concubine and the other is a servant, so she certainly has no reason to provoke her. Besides, she has a severe stomachache now, and she just wants to return to the palace as soon as possible.
However, to Du Siyao's ears, these words were more piercing than a needle tip.
Si Nanyan, how dare you mock me!
If it weren't for you, how could I have only been canonized as a concubine?
She thought for a moment, put on a smile, and said, "No, you, the lady-in-waiting, serve the emperor every day. You must be very tired. Here—"
As she spoke, she wiped off a shrimp whisker bracelet from her hand and handed it to her: "This is a reward from me for you."
Nan Yan forced a smile and said, "No reward without merit, this servant dares not be greedy for money."
Du Siyao's face darkened: "Why, you don't like my reward?"
"No, of course not."
"Then take it."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned, but had no other choice but to carefully stretch out her hands to take the shrimp-whisker bracelet.
But just when her hand was about to touch it, Du Siyao suddenly raised her hand, and the shrimp-whisker bracelet drew a curved arc in the air, and fell into the lake next to it with a splash.
Nan Yan was stunned.
When the concubines next to her saw this, they immediately pointed at her and started scolding her.
"How dare you, a slave girl, offend the Concubine!"
"You dare to throw away the things that Concubine Jieyu gave you!"
"Someone, drag her away!"
Nan Yan panicked a little and said hurriedly: "No, it's not me——"
Du Siyao stared at her intently: "Could it be me? Was it me who threw the gift I was going to give you into the lake?"
“…”
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
She knew that her coming to her today was destined.
Du Siyao has no choice but to take revenge.
So, she simply said, "Please forgive me, Concubine."
Seeing her behave like this, as if accepting her fate, Du Siyao finally smiled, but it was a vicious smile.
She said, "Right, just admit your mistake."
“…”
"I'm not the kind of person who won't give in to others even if they are right."
“…”
"Since the thing has fallen, just go pick it up."
Nan Yan's face suddenly turned pale.
