Yan Ningshuang had never heard such words since she was a child. She was so scared that her face turned blue and she was shaking with anger.
"You, you slut!"
Xiang Qin blinked, looked around, and said innocently, "What are you calling a bitch? Bitch? Madam Third Young Master, who are you calling a bitch?"
Yan Ningshuang pointed at her with a shaking finger and said, "You..."
Xiang Qin pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "Me? What did you call me, bitch?"
Yan Ningshuang was so angry that she almost fainted, but when she came to find Ren Yaoqi today, she had sent all the maids away first. Now she wanted to ask someone to help her teach this slutty maid who dared to commit treason a lesson, but she couldn't find anyone. It would be a disgrace to her status to fight with a maid herself.
Xiang Qin, the head maid of the Ren family, was no fool. She dared to bully Yan Ningshuang so blatantly because she knew Yan Ningshuang was alone. Even if Yan Ningshuang wanted to sue her, she wouldn't have any evidence. And even if Yan Ningshuang wanted to, where could she file a complaint? Could she file a complaint before the Empress Dowager? Xiang Qin smirked inwardly, certain that Yan Ningshuang couldn't do anything to her.
Just when Xiang Qin was secretly thinking of adding fuel to the fire to piss off and scare Yan Ningshuang to death, a man suddenly came out from a fork in the road.
They were walking in a long corridor, and the path the man took out was blocked by dense bushes and a big tree, so neither of them saw or heard the footsteps.
Xiang Qin's heart skipped a beat, wondering if anyone had heard her bullying Yan Ningshuang. That would be disastrous. Thinking of this, Xiang Qin's expression darkened. She couldn't help but secretly scrutinize the newcomer.
Suddenly appeared a young man in a light blue robe. He was not tall and even looked a little thin, but he had red lips, white teeth and a handsome face.
Xiang Qin was stunned when she saw his face clearly. Was he the palace's accountant or some random scholar? But as soon as this thought occurred to her, she felt something was amiss. Although this young man looked refined and handsome, his eyes were dark and dark, as if one couldn't see through them. It certainly didn't look like a scholar's eyes. As Xiang Qin pondered his appearance, she forgot her fear for a moment.
It was the enraged Yan Ningshuang who reacted first. She pointed at Xiang Qin and ordered the person who came, "Catch this bitch!"
Yan Ningshuang knew all the masters in the palace. Since this young man was dressed simply and could appear here, Yan Ningshuang also mistook him for an accountant or a small steward in the palace. As the third young lady of the Yanbei Palace, she had the qualifications to order a servant around.
It was a pity that after she gave the order, the young man just glanced at her without even stopping. Although that look contained no emotion, for some reason it gave Yan Ningshuang goosebumps all over her body.
However, Yan Ningshuang was already furious at the moment because of Xiang Qin's provocation, so she ignored the discomfort in her heart and shouted angrily, "Stop!"
The young man frowned, but still stopped. He turned around and looked at Yan Ningshuang with a dark gaze, without saying a word.
Thinking that the man must have heard the maid's unreasonable words, Yan Ningshuang was determined to bring this matter to the prince and princess, and make the maid's master, Ren Yaoqi, apologize to her in front of everyone. So Yan Ningshuang resisted the inexplicable urge to retreat and said to the young man in a slow tone, "Where are you in charge? Did you hear those insubordinate words of the maid just now?"
