Chapter 21: There is always something that can defeat something else
The market town was bustling with people.
Chun Xing ran and looked around. She searched for half an hour and was so tired that she was sweating and panting, but she still couldn't see any trace of Luo Fu.
She stamped her feet in anxiety.
If she can’t find anyone, how can she go back and report to the second girl?
If she fails to complete her mission, then her future life will be...
Chun Xing couldn't stop feeling anxious.
I walked around for a long time, thinking about it in my mind.
If I go back like this, I will never be able to get up again. Instead of doing the most tiring and dirty chores every day, and finally being paired with a mediocre servant and suffering for the rest of my life, I might as well take a chance!
Maybe there will be a way out!
After making up her mind, Chun Xing turned around and walked back.
The Cui family residence was even more magnificent and spacious than the Luo residence. From the outside, the red-tiled courtyard wall alone occupied an entire street.
Chun Xing entered from the corner door, passed through the heavy curtains, and finally walked along the corridor to a courtyard.
The yard door was not closed.
The old woman guarding the door saw her coming back breathlessly and said indifferently, "Go in, the girl is waiting."
Chun Xing didn't even have time to catch her breath. She said "Thank you, Mom", lifted her skirt, walked into the courtyard, and went straight to the main room.
Cui Yuzhen was leaning on the soft couch, with two maids fanning her on her left and right.
I heard from people outside that Chun Xing is back.
Cui Yuzhen quickly sat up and let someone in.
Chun Xing was covered in sweat, bringing with her a sour smell of sweat when she came in.
Cui Yuzhen covered her nose with a handkerchief and said in disgust, "Stand away from me!"
Chun Xing had no choice but to back away until she reached the doorway. Cui Yuzhen then said, "Alright, tell me quickly. Which family did that idiot marry into, and how did they treat her?"
The girl said, "To answer the young lady, it's too late now, and no one can inquire. I haven't found out which family she married yet, but I followed her and the man, turning into more than a dozen alleys and walking for a long time until the road turned into a dirt road. Then I saw them enter a dilapidated house.
"Miss, you didn't see it. That room is so shabby, it's not even as good as the toilets used by the girls and boys in our house!"
Cui Yuzhen seemed to smell something, so she fanned her nose with a handkerchief and asked, "And then, you came back?"
Chun Xing had already finished her story, but seeing that Cui Yuzhen didn't seem to be satisfied, she quickly made up another story: "No, I listened from the corner for a long time. As soon as Miss Luo Er returned, a woman started to scold her..."
She coughed twice, put her hands on her hips and said, "You slutty little bitch, you don't do housework, you always go out with men, and you've led all the good men astray! I'm telling you this, if you ever try to be a good man again, I'll send you to that alley to be a prostitute!"
After she finished learning, she put her hands down again and sighed, "That second Miss Luo was scolded so badly that she couldn't say a word. She could only sob. Her husband was useless and didn't say a word to help her."
Cui Yuzhen giggled.
She considers herself to be unparalleled in beauty.
No one in Qingzhou can match him.
Whenever I go out with my sisters, I always attract a lot of attention.
Although her cousin Luo Zhen from Yanzhou also had to enter the palace for selection like her, and was taught etiquette by a retired nanny invited by her aunt since she was a child, she did not take this cousin seriously at all and looked down on her in her heart.
Luo Zhen is not as beautiful as her. Even if they enter the palace together in the future, she will only be her vassal and work under her.
Luo Zhen is quite sensible and always behaves obediently in front of her.
She would only mention her half-sister Luo Fu from time to time, saying that although this woman was stupid, she was prettier than her.
She didn't care at first.
But once when I went to visit Luo's family, I finally met Luo Fu.
She was stunned there.
When he came to his senses, his nails had already sunk deeply into the palm flesh.
After that, she never went to the Luo family again.
But he has been keeping an eye on Love's movements.
She knew that her aunt and Luo Zhen also looked down on Luo Fu and would definitely not find a good family for her.
She was waiting to see her being tortured into a mad woman after she got married.
Let’s see how she can defeat her!
More than a month ago, my father had his birthday.
Her aunt and cousin came to give her gifts. She wanted to ask about Na Luofu, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
If people see her asking such a fool, wouldn't it be known that she is jealous of that fool!
Normally, Luo Zhen would bring it up first before she would say a few words.
Fortunately, a few days later, Luo Zhen also came.
But he didn't take the initiative to look for her, and hurried back with his aunt.
This matter was always on her mind.
However, as the day for the imperial court to come and see the guests was approaching, her mind was focused on the selection.
I didn't expect that when I went out to choose a headdress tonight, I would run into that idiot Love and see what happened to her!
"What's the point of being so beautiful? If you're just a fool inside, your skin is useless and will only become a burden."
Cui Yuzhen's comfortable smile gradually turned into a sneer: "I really want to see with my own eyes how she is tortured!"
When Chun Xing heard this, sweat broke out on her head.
Fortunately, she was sweating profusely and hadn't been noticed. In her fear, she actually suggested, "When I saw it, I wanted to ask you to come and see it too. How about I take you there tomorrow? But it's dirty and messy there, with pig, cow and sheep feces everywhere. The road is narrow, and neither a carriage nor a sedan chair can pass through. You'll have to walk a distance to get there."
Cui Yuzhen really wanted to go over and take a look, but after hearing what Chun Xing said, she immediately gave up.
On a hot day, walking for a long time just to see a stupid thing, especially a road full of filthy things, is something only a fool would do.
Cui Yuzhen pointed to a maidservant beside her and said, "Go with her tomorrow and take a look. Come back and tell me the truth."
The maid's face turned pale. The girl didn't want to go, and she didn't want to go either.
I just didn't have the courage to refuse, so I could only agree with a forced smile.
No one noticed that the girl looked as pale as death.
Love had no idea that her trip out would cause such a stir.
Honeysuckle and Shanglu were waiting in front of Caimen Huanlou. When they saw someone coming back, they hurried to greet him.
"Girl, why don't you take us with you when you go out?"
"Although I didn't bring you with me, I brought you some sugar figurines." Luo Fu took out a cowhide bag from her pouch and gave it to them. "The flying butterfly is from Pomegranate, and the steed is from Honeysuckle."
Unexpectedly, the girl also brought them sugar figures.
The two men were so happy that they hugged Love and went back to the room.
Murong Jin, who was pushed away from Luo Fu by two maids, looked at the fat carp in his hand with a gloomy expression.
The elderly eunuch who had been waiting nearby broke out in a cold sweat.
Those two maids might not survive.
Luo Fu, who had already walked into the inner hall of the restaurant, thought of Chang Jin and turned around to smile at him, "I'm going back to my room to rest. You don't need to come and serve me. You should rest early too. If you get enough sleep, the redness in your eyes will disappear tomorrow."
…
The beauty has gone upstairs.
The older eunuch observed the emperor's expression and stepped forward: "Your Majesty..."
Murong Jin snorted coldly, and bit a hole in the fat carp with his sharp white teeth: "Go back to the room and rest!"
The older eunuch couldn't help laughing.
It seems that the lives of the two maids were saved.
This is really the case of one thing conquering another.
Sooner or later, the emperor would listen to such advice.
What's more, it wasn't just persuasion. People just gave you an order, and the tyrannical emperor actually listened!
This noble lady Luo will surely become extremely wealthy in the future.
