Chapter 5 - Metamorphosis (1/2)

Proofread by Yin Jing

“You!” Qinger’s face turns black and blue. The Tofu Soup with Chinese Cabbage is far from easy to cook. She meant to frame Qingge, but never expects this fatso should see through it. Her heart jolts and she smiles obsequiously at once, “Sister Qingge, how can you be called scapegoat? For the sake of Feng’s, you…”

“That can’t be done. Even if you want to send away a beggar, you have to give him some.” Qingge smiles, while glancing at half a slotted ring of jade beside Qinger’s waist casually. A flash of sharpness shines through her black eyes.

In the original Qingge’s memory, besides the ring, this half slotted ring of jade is the only thing her mother left. Unfortunately, the original Qingge was an idiot and crap. In possession of such a treasure, she could only be oppressed.

In recent years, whatever is beautiful among her accessories has been plundered by Qinger. If the ring could be taken off her finger, it would also have suffered the disaster. In her memory, Qingge had a deep attachment to this slotted ring, so she must get it!

“I think the jade beside your waist is good. If you give it to me, I’ll take the blame for you.” Qingge yawns and smiles. Qinger nearly spits blood. She glares at Qingge and growls, “What did you say! This jade…” This jade is a real treasure. She once authenticated it in a jewelry store. It is worth at least a thousand taels of silver. How can she give it to this idiot!

Qingge shrugged her shoulder reluctantly and turned around, “Since you can’t bear it, take your own blame.”

“Missie Qinger, the emperor has arrived at the gate of the Fengs, the goodman gets worried. Are you done?” An Anxious voice comes to the backyard from outside.

Pinching the jade hard in hand, Qingge clenched her white teeth and was about to crush them. She takes the jade off her waist slowly. Her expression is like cutting off a piece of flesh from her body.

Her chin cupped in her hands, Qingge naturally nods and says, “The golden phoenix hairpin sister wears today looks nice too. You might as well give it to me together with the jade.”

“Feng Qingge!”

“OK. I know it. Sister would not give it to me. That’s all right. You take your own blame.”

Gesturinga stop at once, Qingge hums a cold hum and is about to leave.

Qinger gets into a flap. She hurriedly stamps her feet and says, “Stop, stop, stop. I give you. I give you. Is it all right? Here. It’s here.” She takes the hairpin off her head quickly and hands it over with the slotted ring of jade to Qingge.

Qinger feels like her lung is going to blast out but is unable to vent. She stares at Qingge with her brass-bell-sized eyes. As long as this crap can cook Tofu Soup with Chinese Cabbage, everything will be all right.

A cunning light flashes by, Qinger stands with her fists clenched.

But the flash deep in her eyes happens to be captured by Qingge. Even if thinking with toes, Qingge knows what Qinger wants to do. Stuffing the slotted ring of jade into her bosom, Qingge claps and laughs, “Sister is indeed generous. All right. I’ll make the Tofu Soup with Chinese Cabbage which the emperor will never forget throughout his life in person!”

Striding into the kitchen, Qingge glances at the messy ingredients inside and only to sneer.

Dressed in dark black overcoat again, the person on the wheelchair listens to the outside noise with his eyes slightly closed and asked calmly, “Is there any good way to change a person within a day?”

“Of course. A little girl yesterday,and a wife today. Isn’t it a sudden change? I say, boss, remember to take eagle and me next time when you go out.” Tapping at the folds of Cangyun’s clothes, the man in red bursts out laughing. He pats the folding fan in his hand and smiles, “I heard that MissieQinger of the Fengs is divinely beautiful. I finally come here so I must get a look at her.”

“Go to the backyard. I want to make sure about Qingge,” Cangyun says softly, with a flash shining through his black eyes. His slender fingers brush across the wheelchair.He still cannot imagine a woman like that should have such a calm personality.
