As soon as this thought had entered her mind, the more she thought about it, the more she disliked the dress she was wearing. She had the urge to take off her dress this instant and change into the gorgeous one she was holding in her hands.

Thinking about this, she held the gown up in front of her body, and turned to Liang Xiuqin with excitement.

“Mom, is it pretty?”

Liang Xiuqin sized up the dress. This design by a famous designer really was extraordinary.

“Yes, it looks beautiful! This design by a famous designer is indeed impressive, and you can tell that all the materials used for every st.i.tch are of very high quality. You would definitely look fantastic in it.”

The maid who’d delivered the box opened her mouth and was about to say that the dress was for Yun Xi. She couldn’t bear to watch this any longer.

“What are you so happy about? They sent Yun Xi that dress.”

“Whaaaat?” Only then did Yun Ziling snap back to reality.

She turned her head toward the maid who had brought the dress into the room and asked again, “Are you sure they didn’t send me this dress?”

“The person who delivered it said it was for the eldest lady. I think it was the Chen family who sent it. If it wasn’t the Chens, then it was the Jiangs.”

The maid had been with the family for a long time, and she didn’t like seeing Yun Ziling bully Yun Xi. She spoke loudly and she spit out her words clearly word by word.

“For her?” Yun Ziling’s face instantly darkened.

Looking at Yun Xi’s plain dress, she couldn’t help thinking of how much of a country b.u.mpkin she was. If she were to wear this gown, she would be an unsightly disaster.

“How is that possible! Just look at her country b.u.mpkin looks. If she were to wear such a high-end designer gown, it would seem like a n.o.body was actually trying to seem like she was somebody.”

“But this gown is really for the eldest lady.”

Yun Ziling was already very upset, and the maid’s words were merely adding fuel to the fire.

She glanced over at her with a venomous look in her eyes. “Shut up! You have no right to speak!”

Yao Ying shook her head at the maid. “Go make preparations in the kitchen. The old man is still playing chess at Uncle Gong’s house, but he will be back later at mealtime.”
