Chapter 98: They are all opportunists. The lady should teach them a lesson.
The moment Lan Xiyue stepped into the side hall, Yun Yiyi's gaze shot out like sharp arrows. She stepped forward quickly, circled around Lan Xiyue, her eyes full of criticism and disdain.
"Hmph! Lan Xiyue, why don't you look your usual colorful outfits or heavy makeup today?"
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, a faint smile playing on the corner of her mouth. "How I dress seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yiyi placed her hands on her hips, her face filled with disdain. "Lan Xiyue, you are truly shameless! You used to shamelessly pursue the Crown Prince, and now you're seducing the Regent. Your tactics are truly astonishing! I'm warning you, stay away from the Regent and don't try to seduce him with your despicable tactics again!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue's smile widened, and a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes.
"Oh? Why should I listen to you? Could it be that you also have some intentions towards the Regent? But judging by your behavior, I'm afraid the Regent would look down on a young girl like you."
Yun Yiyi's face turned pale with anger, her sore spot being touched. "You... Lan Xiyue, you're just a little girl! I'm already thirteen years old, old enough to discuss marriage! I don't like the Regent. The Regent belongs to Sister Yan. You are not allowed to compete with Sister Yan for it! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"
Lan Xiyue shook her head slightly, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
"Sister Yan? The Sister Yan you're talking about, is she Bai Lianhua? Did she ask you to come?"
Yun Yiyi glared at Lan Xiyue, "What white lotus! That's Sister Yan! Stop talking nonsense! Also, what did you do when you were alone with the Regent yesterday? Lan Xiyue, you're becoming even more shameless!"
Lan Xiyue's eyes were as sharp as torches as she stared straight into Yun Yiyi's eyes, with a hint of coldness in her tone.
"It's not your place as a little girl to interfere in the affairs between me and the Regent."
After saying this, Lan Xiyue gently lifted her sleeves and sat down on a chair beside her nonchalantly with a lazy posture.
Yun Yiyi stood in front of him, her eyes fixed on Lan Xiyue, her eyes full of unkindness and hostility.
"Lan Xiyue, Sister Yan is better than you in every way. How dare you compare yourself to her?"
Lan Xiyue heard this and a playful smile appeared on her lips. She propped up her chin and casually looked at Yun Yiyi in front of her. She said slowly, "Yun Yiyi, don't forget that I am your blood cousin. It's really chilling that you are so disloyal."
Yun Yiyi's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she was stunned for a moment. But she soon reacted and a look of contempt appeared on her face.
"Lan Xiyue, Sister Yan is my best friend. She's not only talented, but also kind-hearted. She once saved my life, a favor I'll never forget.
And you, who in the capital doesn't know your reputation as a nymphomaniac and arrogant? I'm ashamed to have you as my cousin!
"Oh! In that case, Chuchun, please show me around!" After saying that, Lan Xiyue stood up and walked out with big strides.
Yun Yiyi frowned and stamped her feet angrily, "Hey! Lan Xiyue!"
However, Lan Xiyue didn't even turn her head, and Yun Yiyi became even more angry.
Chuchun bowed expressionlessly, "This servant is here to escort my cousin."
Yun Yiyi snorted coldly, with no place to vent her anger, and left angrily.
In the yard, the swing was swaying gently, and Lan Xiyue sat on it leisurely.
Chu Xia said angrily, "Miss, Miss Yi Yi is too much. How can she say that to you? You are her cousin."
Lan Xiyue smiled slightly, "She's just a little girl. I don't take her seriously."
At this time, Chuchun returned to the courtyard with an angry look on her face, and her voice was a little unfair: "Miss, Miss Yi Yi is gone."
Lan Xiyue looked at Chuchun and Chuxia with amusement, "Why do you both look so angry?"
Chuchun felt even more indignant when she heard this: "Miss, you are Miss Yi Yi's cousin. She came to accuse you early in the morning. Aren't you angry?"
Lan Xiyue swung gently on the swing, her tone neither hurried nor slow: "What's there to be angry about? However, I'm curious, when did Bai Lianhua save Yun Yiyi?"
Chu Xia interjected, "I know about this. It seems like two years ago, Miss Yi Yi went to see the lanterns at night. There were so many people that she got separated from her guards and ended up being harassed by some hooligans. Miss Bai happened to be passing by and came to her aid. She even personally sent Miss Yi Yi home. Since then, Miss Yi Yi and Miss Bai from the Prime Minister's Mansion have become good friends."
Lan Xiyue's eyes flashed with understanding when she heard this. "So that's how it is. They probably came to the Marquis' Mansion yesterday and learned that I was with the Regent. And Yun Yiyi knew that Bai Lianhua liked the Regent, so they hurried to find me and ask for an explanation. Just ignore her."
Chu Xia suddenly added, "By the way, Miss, Madam Liang has been very worried lately, and I feel bad seeing this."
Lan Xiyue frowned slightly when she heard this, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, "Nursing nurse? What's wrong? Chuxia, go and call the nurse over quickly. I want to ask her myself what's going on."
Chu Xia responded and left. Not long after, Chu Xia came with Liang Ti.
When Liang Ti saw Lan Xiyue, she bowed and said, "Miss, are you calling me old servant?"
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue felt helpless. She had long ago instructed them not to be so formal, but the nurse would never change. She could only laugh softly and say, "Nanny, please don't be so polite. I heard from Chuxia that you've been worried lately. What happened?"
Liang Ti paused when she heard this, then slowly lowered her head and said in a low voice: "This old slave is fine, Miss, don't worry."
Lan Xiyue stroked the edge of her sleeve, her thoughts drifting away.
She suddenly remembered the trip to Zouma Village. The lady who led the way said that the wet nurse's daughter Xiaoshu had a tragic fate. After the miscarriage, she not only lost the right to be a mother, but also suffered from the cold eyes of her husband's family. The wet nurse must be worried about Xiaoshu!
She had wanted to check Xiao Shu's body before, but later forgot about it.
"Nanny is probably worried about Xiaoshu! Anyway, I'm fine. I'll go check on Xiaoshu. Maybe I can heal her damaged body."
When Liang Ti heard this, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
"Thank you for your kindness, young lady. But Xiaoshu... well, I'm afraid it's just fate."
"Nurse, don't say such depressing things. Chuchun, go get someone to prepare the carriage."
Chuchun responded and left.
A moment later, Chuchun returned, "Miss, the carriage is ready. These people are all very capable. My wife is paralyzed in bed and can't speak. Yesterday, Miss spent the whole day alone with the Regent. When I went to tell her that she was going out and asked the doorman to prepare the carriage, the doorman immediately rushed to prepare the carriage."
Chu Xia snorted, "They are all opportunists. Young lady should teach them a lesson. The last time I went to pick up Madam Liang, I even rented a carriage!"
