10. Drama Queen
◎Why is there such a shameless woman?◎
Chapter 10
The three treasures of Shengjing are the Yinxiang Tower with its singing and dancing, the Jingshan Academy with its white-washed pens, and the Jinpin Pavilion with its pearls and brocades.
Compared to the previous two treasures, Jinpin Pavilion was established only a few years ago, but it surpassed them in design and quality, using precious and fashionable materials. It was not only popular with noble ladies, but also quite popular with the royal family.
Jiang Qiuye followed Qiu Ying and Huo Heng all the way, two steps behind them. Although Huo Heng kept chatting with Qiu Ying, he couldn't help but glance back.
He accidentally met Jiang Qiuye's smiling eyes and was slightly stunned, but saw her smile sweetly and then shyly look away, which made Huo Heng feel very happy.
When they arrived at their destination, he took the initiative to turn around and introduce Jiang Qiuye, "Sister Ye'er, this is the Jinpin Pavilion. The third floor of the pavilion, the higher the floor, the rarest the treasures. Today, I will take Sister Ye'er to see the treasures on the second floor. The treasures and clothes on the second floor are rarely available to ordinary officials."
Jiang Qiuye's eyes were filled with admiration: "My cousin was able to buy the treasures on the second floor, how amazing!"
Huo Heng's fingers instantly trembled and went numb, while Qiu Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes and sneered, "Sister, you're from the countryside, and now you're a widowed merchant. You have a small shop and limited horizons. You might not even be able to buy the things you used to buy on the first floor."
Oh, what a mess.
Jiang Qiuye covered her mouth and smiled, looking at Huo Heng with an even more alluring gaze, "Is that so? Doesn't that just prove that my cousin is not only in a high position, but also a dashing man. Ye'er truly admires my cousin."
Huo Heng kept smiling. He pushed away Qiu Ying who was hanging on his arm, tugged at his collar, and walked with the two of them inside with a breeze.
Indeed, it must be said that the Huo family's status in Shengjing is not low. This young master Huo is the nephew of the Queen. Unlike the Anguo Mansion, which sounds noble but is actually a mess.
The guests of Jinpin Pavilion were all distinguished individuals, and the room was filled with jewels and precious stones, exuding a sense of vulgar splendor that was quite different from the elegant style of the literati in Shengjing. But on the second floor, a different kind of elegance emerged, gorgeous but not gaudy.
The gap between the two layers is like a class or a natural chasm.
A charming lady twisted her body and walked towards the three of them, holding a round fan, with phoenix eyes and thick lips. "Oh, it's Young Master Huo and Miss Qiu. Do you want to see jewelry or clothes today?"
As she approached, she noticed Jiang Qiuye behind them. She was a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, sweet and soft, yet gorgeous. She was slightly stunned and said with a smile, "This young lady is unfamiliar."
Qiu Ying raised her head, disdain in her eyes, and said dignifiedly: "This is my sister."
Then he looked at Jiang Qiuye, "This is the head of Jinpin Pavilion, Head Wang."
"So this is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo. Nice to meet Miss Qiu." Manager Wang stepped forward. "Today, Jinpin Pavilion has a new set of gilded veils with the pattern of spring flowers attracting butterflies. Would you two ladies like to try it out?"
"Bring it here." Qiu Ying replied casually, constantly turning her head to look around.
At this time, the voices of two women rang out. They seemed to have just come up from downstairs. Seeing them, they took the initiative to greet them: "Young Master Huo, Sister Ying'er."
Qiu Ying turned around and saw that it was her friend. She seemed delighted and said, "Oh, how come you're here? What a coincidence."
Sun stepped forward, looked at Jiang Qiuye, and said, "Sister Ying'er, who is this?"
Qiu Ying bit her lip and said, "This is my sister."
"Ah, it's the one who brought death to her husband's family and then became a businessman..." Sun's voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of many people around. Before she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Qiuye embarrassedly.
On the other side, Xu didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of disdain. Her beauty had faded and her love had waned. So what if she was beautiful? She was just a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Jiang Qiuye watched the hidden conversation in their eyes and laughed in her heart. Qiu Ying's method was too childish. It was just talking.
Huo Heng, standing by, looked rather glum. He had forgotten, because of this appearance, that Miss Qiu was a bad luck for her husband. He secretly withdrew his thoughts on taking Jiang Qiuye as a concubine. What should he do? Perhaps a mistress would be better?
"Sister Sun, don't say that. Sister Xu, I'm sorry to make a fool of myself. It's not easy for you, sister." Qiu Ying pretended to interrupt the two of them, then turned around and laughed secretly.
After hearing this, the distinguished guests around glanced at Jiang Qiuye with a hint of contempt, but because of their status, they did not want to talk about her like ordinary women, so they could only speak in low voices.
"This is the bride who was involved in the tragic Zhang family massacre."
"How dare she still live like this? A true and virtuous woman would have gone to her husband's house long ago."
"Don't you see how she looks? She's a natural seducer. How could she be so frivolous and leave with her husband?"
Jiang Qiuye rubbed her fingers, acting, right? But in this regard, she would never admit that there was anyone who was more adept and proficient than her.
These three people were showing off their skills in front of an expert. They were like a small fry compared to a master. When they met her, they had to kneel down and call her "Master".
She lowered her head and slowly walked towards the three of them. From an angle where no one else could see, she grabbed Qiu Ying's hand and pushed her hard towards herself. Qiu Ying was stunned by Jiang Qiuye's action and tried to break free, but was stunned by her immense strength and could not move.
"Qiu Ziye!"
Jiang Qiuye let go of Qiu Ying and fell onto Sun and Xu, knocking them to the ground. Without warning, they were used as cushions, one of them scraping his palms, the other hitting his tailbone, and cried out in pain, unable to speak.
The angle of Jiang Qiuye's fall is perfect, the silver hairpins on her bun dance with a few strands of black hair, her peach blossom eyes are fragile and affectionate, and she is a fragile beauty with a willow waist that is easily broken, which really makes people feel pity. At the same time, her beauty is dazzling and seductive.
Qiu Ying stared at Jiang Qiuye, who was sitting on the two handkerchiefs. Before she could speak, she saw her eyes reddened, tears welled up, the corners of her mouth turned pale, and she cried in a weak voice, "Second sister, why did you push me?"
"I, I pushed you? I didn't! It was clearly you who held my hand!" Qiu Ying's pupils dilated as she looked at the woman in disbelief.
Why?
Why is there such a shameless woman?
And this woman is her country bumpkin sister.
Jiang Qiuye looked at Huo Heng, who was stunned, and said, "Second sister, I'm just accompanying you and your cousin. You've been with us all the way, so how could you not know what happened between us? I know that my cousin is handsome and talented, but you shouldn't be trying to embarrass me in public like this. You even caused both of my sisters to fall and get hurt."
Huo Heng immediately stepped forward upon hearing this and said, "Ying'er, what's wrong with you? How could you push your own sister?"
Qiu Ying: "I, I didn't..."
Xu: "You, you get up quickly!"
Sun cried out in pain: "It hurts, it hurts so much, I'm dying, you get up first!"
Jiang Qiuye seemed to have just realized that two people were under her buttocks, and immediately tried to get up. But just as she was about to stand up, her feet went soft and she sat back down.
There was a sound of bone cracking, and Sun couldn't help crying and shouting, as if her arm was dislocated.
"Sister Sun, I'm sorry, I think I sprained my foot. I'll get up right away." Jiang Qiuye was frightened. After getting up again, she tried to pull Sun up, but pulled her dislocated arm. Unexpectedly, she fainted from the pain.
Seeing this, Xu became even more resentful towards Qiu Ying.
I'm so scared. I've never seen such a scary woman.
I will definitely take a detour if I meet him again next time. If I had known this would happen, I would not have helped Qiu Ying to commit such evil.
Jiang Qiuye stood up crying, but finally let the two go. She turned to look at the furious Qiu Ying, who roared, "Qiu Ziye, you were the one pulling my hand just now, and I pretended to push you! And you still refuse to admit it!"
Jiang Qiuye bit her lip, glanced at Qiu Ying timidly, and quickly lowered her head: "Yes, I pulled, pulled, your hand, pretended, pretended to push me."
"You!" Qiu Ying was so angry that she couldn't speak. It seemed as if she was forcing her to say these words. It would be better not to say them.
The expressions of the people around them when they looked at Qiu Ying changed, and Huo Heng said, "Enough! There are so many people, she is really a shrew!" He ignored Qiu Ying's expression and walked away.
Qiu Ying didn't expect Huo Heng to scold her like that, and she was a little at a loss.
No one noticed that there were two men standing at the entrance of the attic stairs on the third floor. They were Ji Ci and Tian Qu, who had watched the entire drama that had just unfolded.
Ji Ci couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking of the young widow who tried to commit suicide in Guihong Hall that day.
Is this... the legendary scheming woman who is two-faced and scheming?
The author has something to say:
Jiang Qiuye: Brother Jian Xi, I twisted my ankle.
