Chapter 125 I feel like she is not as easy to fool as before
After a while, Lan Jiaoyun stepped into Lan Xiyue's residence with anger.
"Big sister!"
Lan Xiyue's eyes casually swept over the maidservant behind Lan Jiaoyun who was lowering her head.
Lan Xiyue pointed at her and said, "Look up."
The little girl slowly raised her head, and Lan Xiyue's gaze instantly froze on the slap mark on her face. She turned to look at Lan Jiaoyun, "You hit me?"
Lan Jiaoyun's lips curled up into a disdainful smile: "She's just a lowly servant, yet she dared to stop me from coming in. I just taught her a lesson."
Upon hearing this, the little girl defended herself in a low voice, "No, I wanted to come in to report, but the Third Young Lady wouldn't let me and even hit me." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
Lan Jiaoyun snorted coldly, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes: "Do I need to inform you when I come to this eldest sister's courtyard? You slut, what if I hit you? You have no sense!"
At this moment, Lan Jiaoyun's eyes fell on the breakfast on the stone table. The delicate pastries and steaming porridge complemented each other beautifully, but she couldn't help but frown. "Big sister, everyone in the mansion is frugal, yet you have such a lavish breakfast? Where did you get the money?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue slowly stood up and walked to Lan Jiaoyun. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and without saying a word, she slapped Lan Jiaoyun hard in the face.
"Ah..." Lan Jiaoyun screamed, covering her cheeks with her hands, her eyes full of disbelief, "You...you...why are you hitting me?" This bitch hit her again, damn it!
Lan Xiyue's face was as cold as ice: "Lan Jiaoyun, you are just a concubine's daughter. Not only did you break into my yard without permission, but you also hit my people. You really deserve a beating!"
Lan Jiaoyun widened her eyes, glaring at Lan Xiyue, gritting her teeth and saying, "Sister, you hit me for a slave girl?"
"Well! You are just a concubine's daughter, so I'll beat you. What? Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, just hold it in."
Lan Jiaoyun was so angry that she was shaking all over. She stamped her feet, turned around and ran out.
Lan Xiyue looked at Lan Jiaoyun's departing back and was slightly stunned: "Huh? She ran away like that? So what was she doing here?"
Hatsuharu also shook her head, a look of question marks on her face.
Lan Xiyue retracted her gaze and looked at the little girl opposite: "Go down and apply some facial mask. A girl's face is very delicate."
The little girl bowed slightly and retreated.
Lan Jiaoyun stormed out of the gate of Xilingyuan, her face livid, and she cursed non-stop, "Damn it! Lan Xiyue, you bitch!"
The resentment in her heart burned like a raging fire, difficult to quench. Originally, she had thought that after Yun Qing became paralyzed, her aunt would only need to whisper in her father's ear, and her legal title would be secured. By then, she would be transformed into a legitimate daughter.
However, I don’t know why my father went to my aunt’s room yesterday, got furious, and even beat my aunt.
When I asked my aunt what happened, she didn't say anything.
This scene was completely unexpected for Lan Jiaoyun, and her dreams were instantly shattered. She was even more discontented because the palace's storehouse had been robbed, leaving her unable to buy new clothes and jewelry for several days. Her concubine was also strapped for cash, unable to meet her material needs.
Today, she wanted to go to Xilingyuan to check out the situation. After all, everyone in the mansion had been living a tight life in recent days, but Xilingyuan seemed to be unaffected at all.
Just as she turned to leave, a gentle voice called her: "Third sister!"
Lan Jiaoyun turned around and saw Lan Lingrou with a veil covering her face. "Second sister, why are you wearing a veil?" Lan Jiaoyun asked with pretended concern.
Lan Lingrou sighed softly and said, "I'm just getting angry. I have a pimple on my face. I'm going to my eldest sister's yard. Do you want to come with me?"
Lan Jiaoyun curled her lips into a cold smile and said calmly, "I won't go. I just came out of Xilingyuan and was slapped by my elder sister! Oh, and my elder sister had a delicious breakfast. Didn't the kitchen run out of ingredients? Where did she get the money? Did my grandmother give my elder sister some banknotes when she went to the Duke of Huguo's residence?"
Lan Lingrou stiffened involuntarily upon hearing this. Did Grandmother really give Lan Xiyue the banknotes? Although Grandmother did send a lot of medicinal herbs to her mother, she never sent her any banknotes.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of imbalance in her heart.
Seeing Lan Lingrou remained silent, Lan Jiaoyun raised the corner of her mouth and continued, "By the way, I haven't congratulated my second sister yet. She's getting married soon. It's really a cause for celebration. I'm sure mother will be very happy for my eldest sister too."
"Shut up!" Lan Lingrou glared at Lan Jiaoyun and walked towards Xilingyuan.
Lan Jiaoyun locked her eyes on Lan Lingrou's receding figure, a meaningful smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
Lan Jiaoyun whispered, her tone full of sarcasm and disdain, "If Second Sister hadn't lost her virginity to someone, how could she be willing to marry?"
Her thoughts suddenly turned, and she thought of another possibility. Lan Jiaoyun couldn't help muttering to herself: "Second sister is like this, it can't be my good eldest sister who did it, and Yun Qing, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence! My eldest sister seems to have changed a lot..."
The maidservant beside her heard this and replied cautiously, "Miss, the eldest lady...hasn't been as friendly with the second lady and the mistress as before recently. I don't feel any difference in the eldest lady at all!"
"You know what! It seems like she's not as easy to fool as before. She seems to have suddenly become smarter. Could Lan Xiyue be possessed by some evil spirit or something? And why does she beat me up every time she sees me? She wasn't like that before."
After saying this, she couldn't help but shudder, as if she was shocked by her own guess.
Lan Jiaoyun glared at the maid: "Why don't you leave? Go find some ice cubes and put them on my face!"
After saying that, Lan Jiaoyun flicked her sleeves and left.
