Chapter 214 It’s still uncertain who will have the last laugh
She was sitting in front of the dressing table putting on makeup. When she learned that Lu Zhiran and others had arrived, she immediately stood up happily to greet them, but was held back by Lu Zhiran.
"Hurry up and sit still. Put on your makeup quickly. Don't miss the auspicious time."
The brides' makeup was very heavy, with thick powder on their faces, giving them a fake white look.
Even so, Lu Zhiran could still see the dark circles under her eyes, and she looked quite tired.
When Lu Zhiran thought about the process of learning the rules before marriage, she understood.
I'm afraid she hasn't had an easy time these days.
Xing Chuxue looked at Xiao Baozhu and Ye Hanyi apologetically, "I heard you were injured, but it's really inconvenient for me to visit you in the palace. Are you all recovered?"
Xiao Baozhu turned around in front of her and said, "It's healed naturally, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come and add makeup to you."
The three of them chatted with Xing Chuxue, and she smiled more often. She finally realized the joy and anxiety of being married.
Thinking of the handsome man whom she had met briefly, a blush appeared on her face.
Lu Zhiran was sharp-eyed and noticed something strange in her palm.
"What happened to your hand?"
Xing Chuxue subconsciously hid her hand and shook her head, "It's okay."
Lu Zhiran pulled her hand over without question and spread it out, only to see that her palm was red and swollen, as if it had been hit by a bamboo stick.
Several people exclaimed.
Xiao Baozhu was very angry. "Did it happen that the teaching nanny hit you? She's just a servant, how dare she? I'll go call her over and ask her!"
Xing Chuxue quickly stopped the person and said, "Don't blame her, I'm just too stupid."
"No matter what, you are still the master. She is just a servant. What right does she have to hit you?"
Seeing Xiao Baozhu's reckless attitude, Xing Chuxue sent the servants away and then revealed the truth.
"Actually, this was my mother's idea."
When they heard this, they were all in disbelief.
Xing Chuxue whispered, "These days, my sister and I have been learning etiquette from Madam Li. My sister does everything perfectly, and I'm no match for her. Although Madam Li is strict, she doesn't dare to punish me. It was my mother who saw how useless I was and got angry. She scolded me for not learning well and told Madam Li not to be polite to me and to spank me whenever I needed to. That's when Madam Li started to spank me."
She still remembers the feeling of the bamboo board hitting her palm, which hurt so much that she gasped repeatedly.
During the day, she didn't dare cry in front of others, and could only hide in the quilt and shed tears secretly at night.
She hadn't intended to tell them today and make them worry, but Lu Zhiran found out.
After hearing this, the three of them showed anger on their faces.
"How could Madam Xing treat you like this? Even if your sister has learned the rules well, it doesn't matter. It's you who's going to marry into the palace, not her. How can Madam Xing be so partial?"
Xiao Baozhu has suffered enough from favoritism and can't stand people who are biased.
Ye Hanyi has been a pampered person since childhood, and she cannot understand Mrs. Xing's behavior.
However, Lu Zhiran knew that people's hearts are biased, and those who are not favored cannot change the result no matter how much they do.
Xing Chuxue smiled bitterly, "I'm indeed inferior to my sister in every way. I can't blame mother for being partial."
Xiao Baozhu was full of anger, but that was Xing Chuxue's mother, and today was her wedding day, so Xiao Baozhu could only suppress her anger.
Seeing the concern in their eyes, Xing Chuxue was deeply moved.
"I'm fine. It's all over. I'll be married soon. Even if my mother is unhappy with me, she can't do anything to me anymore."
After hearing this, the three of them could only sigh inwardly, saying that every family has its own problems.
Xiao Baozhu comforted her, "Although my fifth brother is a bit dull, he has a good temper and will definitely treat you well. If he bullies you, just tell me and I will seek justice for you."
Xing Chuxue was more and more moved as she listened, and almost shed tears.
These people who have no blood relationship with her treat her so well, but her own blood relatives...
People really have to go through some things before they can truly grow and understand some things.
In the past, how could she have known that her relatives would be like this?
"Sister, why are you crying on such a happy day?"
A voice was heard, and it was Xing Chuying pushing the door open and entering.
When she saw the situation inside, a strange look flashed in her eyes.
Her sister seemed silly and never tried to socialize, but she was actually very resourceful and in a short period of time she made friends with people she couldn't even get close to.
In the past, I had misjudged her.
Xing Chuxue immediately stopped crying, and the others also quickly adjusted their expressions.
Xing Chuying smiled and saluted Xiao Baozhu and Lu Zhiran, and also asked about the injuries of Xiao Baozhu and Ye Hanyi. The responses from both of them were polite and distant, which was completely different from the closeness they had shown to Xing Chuxue just now.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, so the three of them didn't stay any longer and went to the garden instead.
As soon as they left, the smile on Xing Chuying's face fell. She glanced at Xing Chuxue coldly, "You're crying on such a happy day. If this gets out, people will think you don't want to marry into Prince An's mansion."
Xing Chuxue had wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. In the past, she might have tolerated it, but today, she didn't want to tolerate it anymore.
"Today is my big wedding day, but sister still doesn't smile at me. If you don't know, you might think you don't want me to marry into Prince An's mansion."
When Xing Chuying heard this, her expression suddenly changed, and she jumped up as if someone had stepped on her foot.
"Well, you're really going to be a phoenix. You're so confident now, and you don't even take me, your sister, seriously!"
Xing Chuxue looked at her coldly, "Sister, you keep making things difficult for me, but I'm not made of clay. From now on, please be more polite to me."
Xing Chuying was so angry that her face was distorted and her nails dug deep into her flesh.
Good, very good. She hasn't even married into Prince An's Mansion yet, but she's already started acting like a princess!
Let’s wait and see, it’s still unclear who will have the last laugh!
Xing Chuying turned around angrily. At this moment, a maid came in with a small brocade box in her hand.
"Second Miss, this is a dowry gift from your cousin from the Lin family."
When Xing Chuxue heard this, the coldness on her face disappeared.
"Where is cousin Hui?"
"My cousin gave her a gift and left. She said she was divorced and couldn't come into the mansion."
Xing Chuxue felt a little sad when she heard this. Just as she was about to stand up and take the brocade box, Xing Chuying snatched it away and opened it directly.
"She knows she's divorced, yet she still approaches him, not even thinking it's bad luck! What the hell is this? Huh? Someone only gave a small piece of clothing as a dowry gift. How petty!"
Looking more closely, the embroidery on the small garment was extremely delicate, and it was a picture of hundreds of children and grandchildren.
Xing Chuying pinched the small piece of clothing and felt as if her heart was stabbed again.
"I'll throw this unlucky thing away for you, so you don't get tainted with bad luck and end up getting divorced in the future."
After saying that, she threw the small clothes on the ground and stepped on it twice.
