”Yes, Miss taught him a good lesson.” Little Zhui quickly used her hands to wipe away the tears flowing down her face as she listened to Xue Ronghua's lecture.
”Firstly, do you know the phrase 'one gets jealous when one is popular'?”
”I know, I know. The Eldest Miss framed you because she was jealous of you.”
”Secondly, do you know how much jealousy a woman has?”
”This servant knows this very well. But, what does it have to do with Su Hang Yun's silk?”
Xue Ronghua looked at Little Zhui as if she hated him for not being able to meet her expectations. She then randomly took out her empty hands and poured herself two cups of tea to warm her stomach.
”Drink it.” She moved one of the cups of tea to Little Zhui and indicated for her to drink.
Little Zhui's entire person seemed to have gone through an electric current as she hugged her teacup in shock. Her bright eyes looked at Xue Ronghua and while she was hesitating, Xue Ronghua asked: ”What's your mood right now?”
Hearing her young miss's question, Little Zhui naturally replied honestly: ”I feel a little panicked, it feels like it's not true, it's a little fake.”
Xue Ronghua looked at Little Zhui, and took a few sips from her teacup, feeling a warm current seep into her body, before she gave up. Finally, she continued to ask: ”Is there anything else?”
”Surprised.”
She looked at Little Zhui with praise, ”Then that's it. Now that my position has risen greatly, and I am in the state of being shaken at any moment, those good materials, no matter what, should not be chosen by a concubinage like me first. ”
”But you are the future Princess Duan …”
”Don't you understand that? This was a show of support. The moment I entered the trap, I would be caught by someone saying, 'Self-confidence is high,' 'With the support of the prince, you will be able to trample on the head of the elders' and other similar words would be okay. Furthermore, the eldest wife and father's aunts have not been selected yet, once the rumors start to spread, I will definitely be doomed. ”
”You, you're saying …” Little Zhui's eyes were wide open, she never thought that a Suhang Cloud Silk could bring about so much trouble.
”The most terrifying thing is the human heart. I'm afraid this is a scheme by the First Lady. ” Xue Ronghua said with a serious face. ”Little Zhui, you should be extra careful in the future. Now, I can only trust you.”
”Yes!” Little Zhui will definitely live up to young miss's expectations! ” Years later, when the palace's female officials, who were strict in their methods and refused to budge, were presented with gifts and bribes, they would always think of this scene. It was her young mistress who had taught her the first lesson and allowed her to grow up … However, let's not talk about it here.
As night fell, the Clothing Department had sent over several types of Suhang Cloud Silk. Under the dim glow of the yellow halo, they were actually glistening and overflowing with color!
He truly deserved to be called the renowned Suhang Cloud Silk!
One horse was said to be worth half a tael... Silver.
How much private silver did the Prime Minister's Mansion swallow to be so extravagant?
But Xue Ronghua merely glanced at it and Little Zhui followed along to send him back.
Clothing Department.
”Second Miss, what are you doing?” The Head Supervisor looked at Xue Ronghua's method of sending the silk back in confusion. ”But you don't like these colored materials?”
”No.” Xue Ronghua smiled and said, ”I like it a lot, but thinking about how my mother and aunties have yet to choose, it's not good to be rude to them.”
”Why is it so abrupt?” The Head Supervisor sized Xue Ronghua up slightly, ”The young miss was the one who picked him out first.”
”No. I should first choose one for mother and the others. ”
”This is the lord's order.”
”That's right, master has been treating you very seriously recently.” The manservant at the side could not help but interject. This was supposed to be impolite; how could a servant interrupt his master's words?
Just as the Head Supervisor wanted to reprimand him, he was stopped by Xue Ronghua. ”Forget it, in this cold day, people can't blame him for thinking about such a thing. Can the Chief Steward spare me for the sake of my little weakness? ”
”Since the young mistress has asked, how can I not do it?” The steward answered with a smile, his eyes shining brightly as if he wanted to scheme something. ”Still not thanking the young mistress?”
”Thank you, young miss, for your great kindness! This servant will not taint your beautiful eyes anymore and will take my leave first. ” The manservant bowed, then pulled the wooden carriage away.
”So it's like this …” Xue Ronghua muttered, as though she was thinking about something strange.
”Miss …” Little Zhui's soft call brought Xue Ronghua back to reality. What happened to her?
”No problem, return the silk back to the steward.” Xue Ronghua laughed and said, ”Thank you, Manager.”
”Not at all.” Control shook his head, a smile plastered on his face, but no matter how you looked at it, it seemed to be an act.
However, life was like a play to them.
We who perform plays never know who manipulates them.
Heavens? Or … As for himself?
Originally, he thought that it would be good if she could dodge, but he didn't think that the person inside the Prime Minister's Mansion would give her a huge surprise.
”This is?” When Little Zhui went to collect her season clothes, she took them and left as she usually would, but she still heard Miss's lesson. As a result, she carefully checked a few times.
Little Zhui picked up the clothes made of the material and touched it, discovering that this material was actually the piece of Su Hang Yun's silk that he had delivered back in a few days!
What was going on?
Could it really be as the young mistress had said?
No, we can't let Miss get into the circle.
Little Zhui looked at the clothes of the young miss.
Although the style was similar in color, the material was not the same. Once the two items were worn, it was bound to mean that their young miss was even more dazzling. This … Maybe someone was talking about it again. Little Zhui thought, when no one was looking, he would switch out the two sets of clothes.
At that time, it's not too late to say that the people in the Clothing Department are in a state of confusion …
Little Zhui thought of everything she could think of, so she carried the clothes that she had wrapped up with the hand-made wood incense paper and rushed to Xue Ronghua's small residence.
”So you learned a lot that day.” As Xue Ronghua listened to Little Zhui's explanation, she glanced at her with great relief. She put on the fox fur coat and moved it to the window, watching the snow fall bit by bit.
”I still have to thank you for your advice.” Little Zhui saluted, and then took a small thermos bottle to's side, afraid that it was going to freeze her.
