"If you're so capable, get your benefactor to send you two more boxes. What are you envious of here?"
Chunyu was stabbed by her and pounced on her. The two started tearing at each other at the kitchen door.
Lin Qingwan waited hungry but Muxue didn't come. Instead, she saw Qin Ma, who was by Lin Shi's side. "Miss Qingwan, Muxue and Chunyu, the young lady's maid, got into a fight. They were tied up by the old women and sent to Madam's courtyard."
Lin Qingwan thought to herself, "Mu Xue has always been timid, why is she suddenly fighting with someone?"
She slipped some loose silver to Qin Ma and learned what had happened.
Upon arriving at Lan Garden, Jiang Yanwan was already beside Madam Lin, speaking softly to her. The two were almost touching heads, and Madam Lin habitually shielded Jiang Yanwan with half her body, making them appear so intimate that it was enviable.
Even though she had given up all hope, Lin Qingwan still felt a slight pain in her heart.
She gave a perfect and graceful bow, saying, "May Mother be well."
The plum blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom, and sunlight filtered through the petals onto Lin Qingwan's slender back. The moment she lowered her eyes and bent over, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
The capital city has no shortage of beauties, but it is rare to see someone with such a bright and aloof demeanor as her, which is very fitting for the chilly winter day.
Jiang Yanwan had been suffering from a rash for the past few days and looked unwell. Seeing Lin Qingwan looking completely transformed, she felt as if she had swallowed a stone.
Madam Lin hummed in agreement. "You've come at the right time, lest I punish the people in your courtyard and you become unhappy."
Lin Qingwan looked at Muxue. Although the girl's clothes were disheveled, there were no injuries. On the contrary, Chunyu had a few scratch marks on her face. She breathed a slight sigh of relief. It was good that she hadn't suffered any losses.
When Mu Xue saw her, she felt guilty and uneasy. "Miss, I'm so sorry."
Lin Qingwan asked, "Who made the first move?"
Mu Xue said aggrievedly, "Even if you gave me the greatest courage, I wouldn't dare to touch the people around Miss."
Chunyu bared her teeth, which aggravated the injury at the corner of her mouth, causing her to gasp in pain. Muxue interrupted her, saying, "This servant did not block Chunyu's way, but Chunyu was unhappy for some reason and said many bad things about Miss while blocking this servant."
“When I got angry and retorted, Sister Chunyu hit me.”
Lin Qingwan sighed inwardly, thinking that Mu Xue's ability to put on airs... showed great promise.
"You're talking nonsense!" Chunyu shouted in front of Lin.
Mu Xue immediately added, "Everyone in the kitchen heard it. First, Sister Chunyu said that Miss Qingwan was clueless, and then she said that the eldest young lady was magnanimous and gave the prince's things to the young lady, but those were originally a gift from the prince to the young lady."
Chunyu's chest heaved. "The topmost begonia fox fur coat is our young lady's favorite, and the prince only ever gives things to the young lady!"
"Everyone knows that our young lady is engaged to the prince. Shouldn't Miss Qingwan avoid suspicion and return the items?"
"Now everyone outside is saying that Miss Qingwan is seducing the Prince and trying to steal the eldest daughter's marriage to become Princess Jing!"
Lin Qingwan's heart tightened as she watched the spectacle unfold; no one had ever told her that Jiang Yanwan and Prince Jing were engaged!
