10 Chapter 9: Meeting the Prince (1/2)
Ying Yue got up from her bed, and called out to Zhu Xinya, completely ignoring the maid before her.
”Zhu-Zhu, come and help me get dressed and do my hair. I think it's been a while since I've visited my fiancee. Since he has taken the time to visit, it would be rude to not go and receive him.”
Hearing her mistress and seeing that she paid no attention to the maid, Zhu Xinya decided to disregard her as well, and started to go about helping her mistress get ready. She didn't understand why Ying Yue wanted to see the crown prince, since she was under the impression that yesterday they had decided he was a bigjerky bastard. However, she trusted her mistress, and so decided she wouldn't question it.
Watching the master-servant pair completely ignore her, the maid felt enraged. Since when had she been treated like this? Even though she was just a maid, she was still Yao Xiuying's maid, and as such people had always treated her with at least a certain level of respect. However, these two seemed to act as though she completely didn't exist!
Knowing that she was no match for Ying Yue, she left in a huff, intending to go tell her mistress what happened and have Yao Xiuying use her relationship with the prince to get revenge.
Once the maid left, Ying Yue turned to Zhu Xinya
”Zhu-Zhu, I want you to help me look as good as possible. I want to make that stupid prince realize he's made a mistake.” Of course, this would not be enough to satisfy Ying Yue, but seeing as how she couldn't cultivate until she broke Jiu Niu's bracelet, this was the most she could do for the moment. What she really wanted was to torture the prince slowly, both physically and psychologically. At the moment, however, she was no match for the prince, and so could only flaunt that she was better looking than her sister.
Hearing this, Zhu Xinya shook her head in agreement. This was how her mistress should be. Let's make that jackass regret his decision!
In Yao Xiuying's part of the residence, the crown prince and Yao Xiuying were sitting at a table, listeningng to the maid's report. When Fu Longwei heard that Ying Yue was coming to see him, he smiled. It seemed that he wouldn't have to worry about her saying anything about what happened. That moron was still in love with him, and probably didn't blame him at all for what happened. Thinking about how she was probably coming here to fight with her sister for him, a smile broke out on the prince's face. Even if she was a waste, what man wouldn't like it when two girls fought over him?
Yao Xiuying, on the other hand was seething with rage. It was good that she decided to come, as that means they could put their plans into action, but the fact that she was coming also infuriated her. Wasn't her coming here to see the prince the same as saying that she was a match for Yao Xiuying! Who did that whore think she was, as if she was someone worthy of having the prince's attention!
While the two were both absorbed in the respective thoughts, Ying Yue arrived.
When the two looked up and saw her, they were stunned. Even though her body was covered in wounds and she was clearly malnourished, this couldn't hide the fact that she was drop-dead gorgeous.
