Chapter 20: Wishful thinking is just wishful thinking



"Girl, this handkerchief..."

Zi Yi walked back, pinching the handkerchief that had been stepped on to pieces like a mustard seed with two fingers.

"Throw it in the river!"

Xia Qinghe stamped her feet angrily and turned away.

When she returned to her room, Xia Qinghe was very angry.

"She's born with a foxy look, I wonder who she's trying to seduce!"

"A lowly maid dares to snatch my person from me?"

"She's like a whore! Can't live without a man?"

"Bitch! Do you really take yourself seriously? Dreaming of getting something that doesn't belong to you will always be just wishful thinking!"

Xia Qinghe was sarcastic and jealous, and she cursed everyone in the room in different ways.

"Girl, be quiet, be careful not to be heard."

Zi Yi looked around and pushed open the door to remind him.

"roll!"

Xia Qinghe grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it hard on Zi Yi's face.

Zi Yi didn't dare to dodge and was hit hard on the forehead. He waited until the teacup slid down his nose before closing the door again.

Xia Qinghe cursed at the top of her lungs for half an hour before she stopped talking with a dry mouth.

Zi Yi squatted outside the door and bent down to pick up the broken teacup.

Thinking of her unknown fate, she was a little dazed. She accidentally cut her finger with broken porcelain pieces and blood oozed out from between her fingers.

At this time, Chunmei happened to come to the yard to deliver something. Seeing that her finger was cut, she frowned and immediately helped her up. She held her injured hand and said, "Oh, how could you be so careless?"

"I'm fine."

Zi Yi hurriedly pulled his hand away, lowered his head and used the night to cover his swollen forehead.

"Just now, when I was serving tea to the young lady, I accidentally broke the cup. Fortunately, my young lady was generous and didn't make a fuss."

"Well, you better be careful next time."

Chunmei handed the tray to Ziyi and left.

Zi Yi carried the tray into the room and closed the door carefully.

When I turned around, I found that Xia Qinghe had already sat up.

Xia Qinghe pulled out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and handed it to her, saying, "This medicine is very effective. Take it and apply it on your wound. Don't leave scars or people will say I've treated you harshly."

"Thank you, Miss." Zi Yi took the porcelain bottle respectfully.

Xia Qinghe nodded and the expression on her face relaxed.

Zi Yi has been with her the longest and is the most active.

If she wanted to enter the Regent's Palace, she needed the help of her personal maid.

The next day was originally a sunny day.

But for some reason, this cousin Xia Qinghe asked Lingzhi to serve her in her room during meal time.

Lingzhi served her meal carefully, but she had a stern face and was picky. Finally, she asked Lingzhi to stand aside holding the hot teapot.

"I don't know what I did wrong to make my cousin so angry."

The teapot was too hot, so Lingzhi could only use her sleeve to cushion it.

Xia Qinghe snorted coldly: "Look at you, you have such a coquettish look on your face! I'm telling you, put away those evil thoughts of yours."

Foxy?

She is naturally beautiful. This is the face given by God. Is it her fault?

But Lingzhi still said: "My dear cousin, please be careful with your words. I have always been well-behaved and would not dare to harbor any unrealistic thoughts."

Hearing this, Xia Qinghe glared at Lingzhi viciously, with uncontrollable jealousy and hatred in her eyes, as if she was going to skin her alive in the next second.

"Don't you dare harbor any false thoughts? Then why did Master Xiao insist on bringing you back to the capital? I think it was you, a lowly servant, who seduced him!"

The lady who was gentle and soft-spoken yesterday is now so rude and violent.

Lingzhi sneered in his heart, what, you don’t want to pretend anymore?

While Xia Qinghe was drinking tea, Lingzhi quietly stepped forward and slowly raised the teapot.

I want her to know that I am not someone who can be bullied.

But just as the teapot was about to fall on her head, there was a knock on the door.

“Girl, Miss Shen is coming over.”

Zi Yi pushed the door open and walked in, then quickly closed it.

Being interrupted by her, Lingzhi had no choice but to stop and quietly stood back in her original position.

Xia Qinghe turned around and glared at her. After Ziyi came forward, took the teapot from her hand and put it back on the table, she signaled Ziyi to open the door.

Miss Shen Furong came with Chunmei.

The young lady seemed to be in a good mood and even brought Xia Qinghe the most delicious pastries from a shop in the south of the city.

"Cousin, I know you love sweets, so I specially asked someone to buy this for you. How about it? I'm being nice to you. Are you touched?"

Xia Qinghe was stunned when she heard this, and nodded her head with a smile.

"Do you think I'm as greedy as you? You're trying to bribe me with food! Tell me, what's the matter?"

"No one knows me better than my cousin."

Shen Furong smiled and said, “Lingzhi is very good at incense. I asked her to come over and make two plates of spices for me.”

Xia Qinghe teased Shen Furong, "How come someone who usually doesn't like to dress up likes cosmetics and fragrances now? It seems that you are different now that you are older. You know how to love beauty."

Shen Furong pretended to be angry and said, "Good sister, stop making fun of me, and quickly ask Lingzhi to follow me!"

"Since my cousin has come to look for me personally, Lingzhi, you should go back with her."

Xia Qinghe narrowed her eyes and stared at Lingzhi for a long time, but didn't know what to say.

I can only let her go.

Lingzhi bowed to her and walked to the side of Miss Shen Furong.

The young lady glanced at the redness and swelling on her hand and said nothing. She just took her hand and said to Xia Qinghe behind her: "In that case, my cousin will take his leave."

All the way back to the young lady's courtyard.

The young lady asked Lingzhi to sit on the bed, and ordered Chunmei to get an ice pack and carefully apply it to her red and swollen palms.
