Chapter 123 Boldness
"How dare you touch our lady's clothes? You can't afford to pay for it if it gets dirty."
The maidservant beside Xu Wan scolded Li Ruanruan.
"Yes, I'll stay away."
Li Runrun was not annoyed at being scolded, because the snake-attracting powder had already been sprayed on Xu Wan.
The head maid saw her retreat and glared at her fiercely, being quite defensive.
I felt that Li Ruanruan would not be so kind as to pat the snow for Xu Wan, so I leaned over to take a closer look, but saw nothing.
He asked Xu Wan with concern, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Wan was good-natured. She glanced at Li Ruanruan and said, "Maybe I wasn't paying attention just now and got some snow on me. In that case, thank you very much."
Li Ruanruan didn't say anything else.
Ye Shuang suggested, "The red plum blossoms are in full bloom amidst the snow. Why don't we go enjoy them? Sister Wanwan, the red plum blossoms are at their most fragrant in winter. Why don't you pick one and give it to my brother?"
Xu Wan smiled and said, "I don't know if the previous prince likes it."
Ye Shuang immediately put on airs: "That's easy, just let that lowly maidservant reply."
Ye Shuang gave her a look, and the maid beside her pulled Li Ruanruan and pushed her out: "I'm asking you a question, but you're mute."
Li Ruanruan lowered her head, looking like a bully who was being bullied by them, and then she said, "The prince must have liked it very much. He found a nice vase to put it in and kept it there for several days."
Chen Ru covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled: "See, just say that the prince doesn't like the gift you gave him."
Ye Shuang also joked, "You're so happy just by a red plum blossom. Why don't you get married soon? This will save my brother from thinking about you day and night."
As Ye Shuang spoke, she threw a handful of snow onto Xu Wan's face, and the two began to play around.
Chen Ru also joined in, and their snowball fights were just small-scale ones.
Until the three of them pretended to fight, they surrounded Li Ruanruan in the middle to use as a shield, pushing Li Ruanruan, and the icy snowballs all hit Li Ruanruan's face, head, and neck.
Each time is more brutal than the last, and it's intentional.
Pianli Ruanruan had no status in front of them, she was just a slave and could not fight back.
I can only let them bully me.
Ye Qiaoqiao couldn't stand these daughters of noble families who appeared hypocritical on the surface but whose methods were more despicable than the other.
She rolled up her sleeves and joined the battle, fighting one against three. Although she was in a mess, she didn't let them get away with it either.
Ye Shuang was obviously angry and pressed Ye Qiaoqiao into the snow and beat her.
Seeing this, Xu Wan and Chen Ru came over to mediate, helped Ye Qiaoqiao up and protected her behind them, and acted like good people again: "We are sisters, why get angry when playing around?"
Ye Shuang was furious for no apparent reason: "Get out of the way!"
Xu Wan advised her: "Come on, why did you get angry while playing around?"
Ye Shuang pushed Xu Wan hard: "Why are you pretending to be nice?"
These words made Xu Wan and Chen Ru change their expressions.
Ye Shuang didn't think she was wrong at all. Xu Wan and Chen Ru were just pretending to be good people.
She snorted coldly and walked forward.
Xu Wancai chased after him again, saying in a gentle voice, "Why are you angry for no reason? If you're like this, aren't you driving me away?"
Xu Wan lowered her posture and tried to coax her: "Okay, don't be angry. Shuang'er, if you are still so angry with your sister, then I really can't afford to stay and play. I can only go home."
Ye Shuang grabbed her arm. The polo game hadn't started yet, and Xu Wan couldn't leave until Li Runrun got into trouble.
She grabbed her and said, "Aren't we going to enjoy the plum blossoms? Hurry up."
Xu Wan chuckled and took out a round bead.
Ye Shuang glanced at it: "What is this?"
"I said I would give it to you, but I forgot. This is a night-shining pearl, a nice toy I got the other day."
Ye Shuang's eyes widened: "It's the night-shining pearl that glows at night?"
"Um."
"Did you really give it to me?"
Chen Ru laughed at the side: "There are fake ones, why don't you take them quickly? If Miss Xu changes her mind later, you won't be able to keep this treasure. As far as I know, she only got this one, and she's giving it to you."
Ye Shuang quickly reached out and took it, holding it in her palm, looking very happy: "Sister Wanwan, you are so kind."
Xu Wan and Chen Ru looked at each other, this was enough.
Ye Shuang was extremely happy and hugged Xu Wan tightly.
Then Ye Shuang gave Xu Wan a look, meaning that it would be up to her in a while, and she would definitely give that lowly Li Runrun a good beating.
Ye Qiaoqiao also exchanged a glance with Li Runrun.
Xu Wan was really generous, but that couldn't hide her hypocrisy at all.
Arrived at the Red Plum Forest.
Ye Shuang instructed Li Ruan Ruan: "Go up and pick a branch of red plum blossoms from the roof. It's easier to keep it when the buds are half-opened. When it blooms, the whole house will be filled with fragrance. Do you understand?"
Li Runrun knew that this was done on purpose to embarrass her. Since Ye Shuang had accepted Xu Wan's gift, she naturally had to perform well, otherwise the night pearl would be given away in vain.
Li Runrun watched closely, knowing that they would not stop until they let her go, so she did not climb very high.
Ye Shuang scolded him: "Higher, higher."
She had no choice but to climb up again, but she was very careful and cautious, for fear of falling.
"Come up a little higher. I want to see the highest branch. It's not this one, it's that one. Why are you so stupid? Come down and try another tree."
Ye Shuang was not satisfied with any of this or that. It was just that Li Runrun was climbing too steadily. She wanted to see Li Runrun fall but she couldn't, so she was unwilling to give up.
"I'll go under the tree and take a closer look."
Finally, Ye Shuang found such an excuse and actually went under the tree and shook it.
Li Runrun climbed down steadily, her hands and feet were very steady.
But Ye Shuang was too unreasonable: "Who told you to come down? You want that one. I finally saw it."
Li Ruanruan lowered her eyes, looking bewildered. "The wind is a bit strong, and I'm a little unsteady. I feel like the tree is shaking. If I climb that high, I'm afraid I'll fall."
"How did you fall? I think you just wanted to be lazy! What's wrong with this tree?"
"Well, alright then."
The pear is soft and climbs upwards.
Just when Ye Shuang shook the tree violently again, she pretended to slip and fell straight towards Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang couldn't even run away, and only had time to scream: "Ouch!"
Ye Shuang was hit hard by Li Ruanruan, and her bones were injured so badly that she felt pain when she moved for ten days or half a month.
Li Runrun hurriedly got off Ye Shuang. She looked injured and in pain, but she was still kneeling on the ground, afraid and not daring to raise her head.
Ye Shuang screamed miserably, "Ouch, my waist! I can't move! If anything happens to me, Li Ruanruan, I'll make sure you die without a burial place!"
Xu Wan and Chen Ru both came over to help Ye Shuang.
Ye Qiaoqiao squatted beside Li Ruanruan with concern: "Ruanruan, did you fall?"
Li Ruanruan stuffed a purse filled with realgar powder into her hand and said, "The show is about to begin."
Ye Qiaoqiao didn't understand what was going on, but she held the thing that Li Runrun handed to her.
She knew that Ruanruan would not harm her.
Sure enough, the next second, a maid shouted, "Snake!"
