Chapter 7: Today, there is a burning stove to scare the cook
When Qin Yinshi approached, Qin Yinyao smiled slightly.
He raised his hand, swung his arm and slapped Qin Yinshi in the face.
“Bang!”
Crisp and loud.
In a few breaths, several purple and red finger marks on Qin Yinshi's fair face swelled up.
The yard suddenly fell silent.
Qin Yinshi was so frightened that she forgot to breathe.
After coming to her senses, she covered her face and screamed hysterically: "Ah...Qin Yinyao, you..."
Before he could finish his curse, Nanny Li beside him grabbed his sleeve.
Nanny Li bowed to Qin Yinyao and said, "I wonder what the Second Miss did wrong to provoke the First Miss to punish her!"
"If you want to hit her, just hit her. Do you need to wait until she makes a mistake?" Qin Yinyao was satisfied, and her smile deepened a little.
Qin Yinshi's face was distorted with anger, but when she thought of the nanny's reminder just now, she forced herself to endure it.
No rush, let's get the business done first! As for Qin Yinyao, I'll just digest it slowly later.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the resentment in her heart, and put on a smile.
"What my sister said is true. When my sister is in a bad mood and wants to beat or scold me, I just have to bear it."
"It's just...my parents are old, and the ancestral hall is cold and gloomy. How could they endure this?"
"I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come tomorrow? I want to kowtow and apologize to His Royal Highness in person on behalf of my parents."
"What do you think, sister?" As she spoke, she took Qin Yinyao's arm affectionately.
Qin Yinyao caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye and immediately stepped back.
The ancestral hall is gloomy and cold. Two men and women in their prime can't bear this suffering?
How could a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old who had been suffering from long-term malnutrition bear it?
Kneeling down and apologizing in person is fake, the real purpose is to take the opportunity to seduce her.
Qin Yinshi froze and withdrew her hand awkwardly.
Pretending nothing had happened, he continued, "It's not right to be too shabby when paying respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"My sister heard from the housekeeper that there's a set of fine ruby headpieces in the storeroom that was sent to you. It's useless for you to keep them, so why not lend them to you?"
Qin Yinyao listened quietly, and after a while she said calmly, "Are you done?"
"Speak... that's all." Qin Yinshi couldn't guess what Qin Yinyao was thinking for a moment.
Qin Yinyao's smile didn't reach her eyes: "The ruby headpiece is useless to me, so why not give it to you?"
"I think the pearls and jade on your body and the hairpins in your room are useless. Why don't you give them all to me?"
She seemed to approve of this decision and nodded repeatedly: "Hua Niang, bring me the things she wears on her head, hands, and body."
"Go to her room again and take back anything she doesn't need."
Qin Yinshi: “???”
Hua Niang bent her knees softly, smiling charmingly: "Yes, Master."
"Qin Yinyao!" Qin Yinshi said angrily.
Qin Yinyao raised her eyebrows and blinked innocently: "Huh? What did you call me?"
"Sister!" Qin Yinshi dodged the hand extended by Hua Niang: "Eldest sister! You can't do this!"
Begging for mercy was useless, so he turned around and slapped Hua Niang's hand.
Even with the help of the nanny and the maid, they were unable to avoid Hua Niang's actions.
In a short while, all the pearls and jade on Qin Yinshi's body fell into Hua Niang's hands and were presented to Qin Yinyao.
"Well done." Qin Yinyao looked at Hua Niang with appreciation.
She lowered her eyes to survey the pile of jewelry and selected an extremely gorgeous pure gold hairpin with beads. "Dong Ning knelt for so long in vain. This hairpin is my compensation."
She also picked out a hairpin with a gold-threaded border and said, "I'll give this to the little maid just now. From now on, let her stay in my courtyard to serve."
Hua Niang agreed to all of them.
Qin Yinshi's eyes were red. Those were all hers! Hers!
Especially that pearl hairpin, which she obtained after begging her mother for a long time!
"Sister, you bully me like this, aren't you afraid that I will go to our parents and complain?" She had tears in her eyes.
There's no pretense this time, it's all genuine emotion.
"I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me." Qin Yinyao smiled brightly: "Before we go to search her yard, send her to the ancestral hall to kneel as punishment."
Qin Yinshi widened her eyes in disbelief.
"People shouldn't be too idle, otherwise they'll tend to kneel in the ancestral hall." Qin Yinyao sighed, "Hua Niang, don't you agree?"
Hua Niang half covered her lips and giggled, "Master is absolutely right."
Qin Yinyao was satisfied. She happily returned to her room holding a cloth bag filled with gold and silver jewelry.
The cloth used to wrap the jewelry was torn from the hem of Qin Yinshi's skirt.
This is so satisfying.
The house is clean and tidy, and the decoration is very luxurious.
However.
Neither the delicious food nor the bath water that Qin Yinyao ordered before going out were available.
I subconsciously wanted to call for help, but when the words came to my lips, I fell silent again.
Dong Ning injured his knee, and Hua Niang went out to do some work.
If I do it myself... I can't do anything.
Just then, the little girl poked her head in from outside the door.
"My lady, this is my maidservant Hua Sui." She bowed from a distance and said, "Sister Hua Niang said that Sister Dong Ning was injured, so she asked me to come and serve her first."
"Yeah." Qin Yinyao's eyes lit up: "Go to the kitchen and see what's going on. Are the food and hot water ready?"
"yes."
Hua Sui bowed and retreated.
Qin Yinyao walked around the bedroom and picked out a nightgown made of high-quality fabric from the box.
I thought that after I had enough to eat and drink, I would take a hot bath, take care of some small things, and then I would be able to have a good beauty sleep on the soft big bed.
The curve of the corners of the mouth cannot be suppressed.
Half a cup of tea later, Hua Sui returned, dusty and dusty: "Miss, the kitchen... the kitchen said that the master in the mansion won't eat today, so... they didn't cook..."
Qin Yinyao: "..."
She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and took a gold hairpin from the pile of jewelry: "Take this and go to the street to buy a table of fine wine and bring back."
After a pause, he added, "Go to the best restaurant."
After Hua Sui agreed to the task and went out, Qin Yinyao waited for Hua Niang in the armchair.
When Hua Niang came back, she was taken to the kitchen without even entering the door.
A man and a ghost stood in the kitchen yard. Qin Yinyao waved his hand and said, "Burn this place down."
Hua Niang bowed as usual: "Yes, Master... Hmm?"
She suddenly looked up, with a rare look of surprise: "Master, you mean to burn down the kitchen?"
"Yes, if you don't cook, what's the use of the kitchen? Just burn it down." Qin Yinyao crossed her arms, took a few steps back, and leaned against the courtyard wall.
He looked like he was waiting to see the fun.
Hua Niang's face was full of excitement, and her tone was even more cheerful: "Yes, Master!"
While no one was around, he used his Yin energy to set the kitchen on fire.
Walls made of bricks, tiles and mud are difficult to burn, but the wooden windows, doors and beams on them are very easy to burn.
As the breeze blew, the fire grew fiercely.
Qin Yinyao clicked her tongue and said, "Look at this fire, it's burning so beautifully."
The servants in the kitchen, who had sensed something was wrong, rushed out in a swarm, covered in dust and dirt.
Some were looking for water, some were choking and coughing, and it was a mess.
Qin Yinyao: "Tsk, in ancient times people used beacon fires to scare the princes, and now people use burning kitchen stoves to scare the cooks."
Hua Niang just found it funny and turned to look at her.
The flickering firelight reflected on Qin Yinyao's face, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and in a trance, she looked like both a god and a devil.
Hua Niang was amused by this thought: "Master, you are right. It burns beautifully, just like the fire when I died."
