"Look at your memory, Auntie. You've come for tomorrow's palace banquet. The young lady looks much better these days, but she can't go to the palace dressed like this. Granny Zhang, why don't you bring the things up to the young lady?" Aunt Liu glanced at Granny Zhang with a smile.
Qian Yingxue pouted. Even if she went to the palace banquet, this ugly thing wouldn't be the main character. She didn't know why her mother was wasting money.
Lianxin stepped forward and took the items from Granny Zhang's hands: a pink gauze dress, made of the finest fabric and embroidered with beautiful patterns—a style favored by young ladies from noble families. Besides the dress, there was also a set of jewelry, far more valuable than the pieces kept in the young lady's room.
She stroked the gauze skirt with obvious delight and looked at the young lady with a happy expression.
Yo...
Is this going to result in massive bleeding?
Qian Youxue observed this, but felt little joy. After all, what good intentions could a weasel possibly have when it offers New Year's greetings to a chicken?
"Do you like it?" Aunt Liu asked with a smile.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Auntie." Qian Youxue said this, but in her heart she despised Liu's disgusting taste. This kind of gauze dress suited Qian Yingxue, who was a lovesick girl, quite well. If she could, she would rather not have it.
Upon seeing the jewelry, Qian Yingxue, who had just been acting like a well-bred young lady, immediately lost her composure and reverted to her usual spoiled self, excitedly shouting, "Mother, I've asked you for this jewelry so many times, but you wouldn't give it to me! How could you give it to this ugly hag! No, this jewelry is mine, it's mine!"
"Shut up! What kind of behavior is this? Get back here right now!" Aunt Liu shouted sternly.
Waaah...
When Qian Yingxue saw Aunt Liu scolding her, she covered her face, stomped her feet, and burst into tears: "No, this is mine, this is mine! Mother, Yingxue is your own daughter, how could you do this?"
As she spoke, she reached out to snatch the jewelry, but Aunt Liu blocked her way: "Granny Zhang, why don't you take the Fourth Miss away? This is getting more and more outrageous."
"Fourth Miss, please listen to your mistress and let's go back first," Granny Zhang advised politely. However, once Qian Yingxue got angry, it was difficult to persuade her back.
Finally, with no other option, Aunt Liu had to order Granny Zhang to forcibly drag Qian Yingxue out of the courtyard.
"Fourth Miss is being immature, please bear with her, Eldest Miss. I'll head back now. You should rest well today, and I'll come to fetch you to the palace early tomorrow morning." Aunt Liu maintained a kind smile throughout, and after speaking, she gracefully walked out of the courtyard.
call……
Lianxin let out a deep breath, looking at the things in her hands in disbelief. Coming to her senses, she said happily, "Miss, with these things, I won't be so embarrassed when I go to the palace tomorrow. Look at this material, it feels so comfortable to the touch. And this set of jewelry, seeing how Fourth Miss looked just now made Lianxin happy."
"Hehe... Over the years, she has not only withheld jewelry, but also deducted money from my finances. Do you think she would let me off so easily?" Qian Youxue's lips curled up slightly, and she was very certain that Aunt Liu was not so simple.
With a look of disgust, she picked up a corner of the clothes, and a strange fragrance wafted over. She could roughly guess the 'good intentions' of that wicked woman.
"Miss, could it be due to pressure from the old lady that Aunt Liu has no choice but to do this? You're overthinking it." Lianxin looked at the eldest young lady with a somewhat naive expression.
Qian Youxue didn't say anything more. She patted Lianxin on the shoulder and walked towards the house, leaving Lianxin standing there, her heart full of turmoil.
