Chapter 469 - Yao Ling VS Ying Ying (2) (1/2)
Yao Ling asked the woman once again to get the real answer from her, ”Is it really true, little girl?”
Xiao Yu really wanted to laugh when Yao Ling called Ying Ying as a little girl --- she really wanted to show her dominance in a subtle way ah~! Sometimes, her young mistress was really black-bellied.
Ying Ying gritted her teeth in annoyance because she knew that the woman in front of might be younger or even the same age as her --- judging from her voice --- but she seemed to be mocking her. That veiled woman was indirectly belittling her in front of so many people but there was nothing she could do at this point because she was the one who needed their help.
Ying Ying quickly answered, ”Ye... Yes... But, there's also a story behind it!”
”A love story?” Yao Ling asked softly.
”Ye... Yes... I... I'm doing this for my sister...” Ying Ying started her explanation and tried to look as sad as possible. She wanted to tell everything right away so the woman would pity her --- after all, no woman would be able to refuse a romantic love story, right?
Most noblewomen were like that... They loved hearing juicy gossips and because their marriage was usually being arranged by their parents, they loved to listen to love stories from a performance trope and be touched by them --- she knew it better than anyone else.
Yao Ling merely laughed coldly inwardly. Her pitiful look wouldn't affect her whatsoever, besides, her marriage was quite happy so she didn't really feel interested in others' love stories! Ying Ying had really chosen the wrong target this time. Out of all noblewomen that passed by, she chose her.
She didn't plan to deal with her but she was the one who came to deliver herself out of the blue. This way, Yao Ying wouldn't be able to blame her, right?
”What happened to your sister?” Yao Ling asked curiously. With so many people around, would she dare to lie?
”She fell in love with a man but the man had gone missing...” Ying Ying said weakly while wiping her teary eyes.
”Where is your sister now? Why are you the one who is here and not her?” Yao Ling asked --- this was the thing that she was feeling curious about.
Ying Ying looked around in embarrassment and said, ”There... there are too many people here and the story is quite personal.” She wanted them to talk in private so that she could convince them better.
”Why? Is there something that you need to cover up? With so many people here, they could help my young mistress judge whether she should help you or not, right?” Xiao Yu was the one who said this. Even though she wore a gentle smile on her face, her words were quite vicious.
Ying Ying looked at the arrogant maidservant and really wanted to slap her!
The surrounding people murmured their agreement --- maybe this woman was trying to cover up something. Otherwise, why would she want to keep it under wraps?
”Just say it already!”
”We want to hear it too!”
”The maidservant Jie Jie said is correct! We will become the judge!”
”True ah~!”
