Chapter 133: Venting for Her
Ever since she came out once, Yue Tong liked this feeling. Every now and then when she came out of the villa, she liked the envious looks cast on her by ordinary people.
She also made a good friend, who was said to be the daughter of an official. The friend always boasted about her beauty and took her to various shops in the capital to make lavish purchases.
Such actions are hard not to attract other people's attention.
The old lady was afraid that she would be discovered, so she came to persuade her in person: "Fei'er, you haven't even started yet. If you are so high-profile, it will attract the attention of those who have ulterior motives. This is why grandma advised you not to go out casually."
Yue Tong didn't want to listen to these explanations. She just felt that she had become a rich lady and must enjoy the wealth and glory.
She said coquettishly, "Grandma, I finally came to the capital, and I suffered so much hardship and humiliation during my stay. Now I'm finally back, and for a moment... If you think that my behavior is too ostentatious, I will correct it immediately."
After saying this, his eyes were filled with tears, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"If Fei'er likes, you can go freely, but you need to dress up and have someone to protect you when you go out."
"Thank you, grandma. You are the best to Fei'er."
Thinking of how much suffering her own granddaughter had endured, the old lady couldn't bear it and had to fulfill her wish.
Just in case, she divided the people into several groups to deliver the letter to Youzhou. Even if someone had an accident on the way, there were others who could deliver it.
Counting the days, I think Marquis An Ning will receive the letter in about ten days.
Besides, no accidents have happened to Fei'er during this period, so I shouldn't be so anxious.
When she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the old lady saw that Madam Nanrong Leng Shiyun had bought a bunch of precious medicinal herbs and gorgeous clothes, and she couldn't help feeling dissatisfied.
"Shiyun, didn't you just go out and buy a lot of things last time? Why did you buy so much again this time?"
"Mother-in-law, I will go to the palace to visit Fei'er tomorrow, so I have to prepare some good things."
Hearing this, the old lady felt even more upset: "There is nothing in the East Palace. Do you still need you to buy it outside?"
"These are my gifts, and they are naturally different from the things in the palace. Fei'er is still a little girl, and she will definitely like these clothes. Mother-in-law, I also bought a few pieces of cloth for you. Come and see if you like them?"
In the face of her enthusiasm, the old lady just said calmly: "Let someone put it away. I am old and not interested in these things anymore."
"Okay, mother-in-law, I'll have someone deliver these tonics to your courtyard as well."
Seeing the old lady's cold expression, Leng Shiyun continued, "Mother-in-law, the Linglong Cloth Shop in the capital is doing very well. You can go shopping when you have time."
"understood."
Why should she, as her daughter-in-law, arrange anything for her?
The old lady returned to the room and looked at the clothes that Leng Shiyun had sent over. The fabrics did feel top-quality. Although this daughter-in-law was a bit stupid in some aspects, she still had a good eye. "Put these fabrics away and bring them to Miss Yuetong when the time comes."
She rubbed her temples, hoping to receive a reply soon, and that Marquis An Ning would come back soon to expose the true face of that woman.
On the second day, Leng Shiyun packed her things and came to the East Palace happily. The moment she saw her daughter, she was naturally excited.
"My dear Fei'er, you look much more haggard. I brought these cakes from outside the palace. I have already had them tested for poison. Try them quickly.
Meng Wanran was troubled. In recent days, she had gained a lot of weight due to her pregnancy. The prince had not come to her for many days, so she impatiently refused and said, "Okay, I'm not hungry."
After all, this was not her biological mother, and there were some feelings she could not fake. Every time she came, the lady of the marquisate liked to ask all kinds of questions and show concern for her, which almost exposed her, making her feel extremely annoyed.
"If there is no urgent matter in the future, you don't have to come to the East Palace."
Leng Shiyun seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, "Why, Fei'er, don't you miss your mother? Your mother just wants to make it up to you."
Meng Wanran made up an excuse casually: "Although you are my biological mother, we have not seen each other for many years. You have not seen the suffering I have endured in the past. I still need some time to get used to it."
Leng Shiyun lowered her head in disappointment, remembering that she must be having a hard time in the East Palace, and she still needed more understanding.
"Fei'er is doing well in the palace, so I feel relieved. It doesn't matter whether you come or not. If you are unhappy one day, you can come back to the Marquis' Mansion. Your grandmother misses you too."
Meng Wanran just felt it was fake. That old man had never thought about her and never gave her a good look.
Moreover, she knew exactly what she had done in secret, and had some clues in the past few days. She discovered that the old lady had secretly gone to meet a young woman.
The people she had sent before had been investigating that woman, and they believed she was the immortal old man's biological granddaughter.
Now, she has made up her mind. Since the old immortal loves his granddaughter so much, she will let her die together with his biological granddaughter and bury the secret forever.
"I understand. If there is nothing else, mother should go back early."
Leng Shiyun had just walked out of the palace when she suddenly remembered that her daughter's maids had been replaced again. She knew that she had given the maids to the prince to consolidate his favor, and she couldn't help feeling worried.
Although this is a common method in the palace to win over the prince's heart, it cannot last long. I wanted to go back and remind him a few words.
However, he discovered that his daughter had thrown away all the cakes he had sent over, and severely reprimanded the maids around her: "You are so useless. You are all beautiful, but you have no brains. You can't even seduce the prince! That vixen is really annoying!"
"Crown Princess, you are pregnant, so please don't get angry. I will definitely find another opportunity in the future."
"Chance? Who will give you a chance? Come on, drag this maid out and give her to the old eunuch in the palace as a concubine. Useless things can only be given to rootless perverts."
"No, miss, please!"
She ignored the other party's pleading and had her dragged away. "By the way, remember to scratch this girl's face. Since she is so useless, it would be a waste to have such a beautiful face. Her tongue must also be cut off."
"Also, these things are not allowed to be spread out. If they are spread out, your fate will be worse than hers."
Leng Shiyun, who was outside the palace, heard all of this. She felt a chill in her heart. She had never expected her daughter to be so vicious. She actually felt a little strange.
Fearing that she would find out, he did not say anything and hurriedly left the East Palace.
After returning, Leng Shiyun was still feeling uneasy, and for some unknown reason she came to Linglong Cloth Shop again, where she saw Hu Lianxue still busy in the shop.
Then he walked in involuntarily, "Miss Hu, are you still busy?"
"Mrs. Nanrong? Didn't you just come here yesterday? Are you coming to buy clothes again today? It's just that you have bought almost all the nice styles in the store, so you may have to wait until next month..."
Before she could finish, Leng Shiyun shook her head and said, "I came here today, not to buy clothes, but to sit here. You won't mind, right?"
Hu Lianxue quickly shook her head, "How could I dislike you? It's just that I'm busy in the shop and sometimes I may not be able to take care of you."
"It's okay, I'll just watch you here."
She just sat there quietly. It seemed as if this Miss Hu had some kind of magic power, and the anxiety in her heart was comforted at this moment.
"Mr. Wu, I made it very clear last time. I will not marry, let alone be your concubine. I hope you will not harass me again."
Hu Lianxue didn't expect that Mr. Wu would come again today.
She deliberately did not tell Miss Jiang about this matter because she did not want to upset her. This time, she was afraid that she would not have the same good luck as last time, and Fu Rongxuan probably would not come to help him again.
Mr. Wu did not pester her, but knelt down in front of her. Hu Lianxue looked and found that his face was bruised and swollen.
"I was blind and didn't recognize the real man. I offended you last time. This time I came here to ask for your forgiveness. It doesn't matter if you hit me or scold me. I was wrong and I regret it."
After saying that, he kowtowed to her several times.
Hu Lianxue was surprised. She didn't know what had happened to cause Mr. Wu's attitude to change so quickly.
"Please, young lady, let your boss continue to cooperate with our Wu's Company."
Only then did she realize that all this must be the work of Miss Jiang.
"You can go back. Our boss will make the decision on these matters. I can't make the decision."
"I'll leave right away!" Hu Lianxue breathed a sigh of relief only after Master Wu limped away.
Leng Shiyun saw everything that happened just now, "Miss Hu, your boss is really kind-hearted. You should not be afraid of being bullied when working under her."
"She is indeed kind-hearted. Not only that, to me, she is like a deity in heaven." Hu Lianxue shook her head again, "No, even a deity cannot compare to her."
"The girl not only does business, but also helps many homeless people. It was because of her care that I came to the capital. The girl is still looking for my lost relatives for me. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't exist in this world." Hu Lianxue's eyes became moist when she spoke of the emotional part.
She did not tell Miss Jiang that she had been bullied, nor did she know where Miss Jiang found out about it. She helped herself to vent her anger at the first opportunity. Thinking of how much effort Miss Jiang had put in for her, she felt that she would never be able to repay her even if she worked like a slave for her whole life.
"Hearing what you said, she really is a kind person."
Leng Shiyun changed the subject and asked, "You also lost your family?"
"Yes, when I was a child, I must have been... separated from my family, right? I couldn't find them after that. Fortunately, the old couple who adopted me were very kind to me, but after they both passed away, I was left alone."
Afterwards, she was abducted by bandits and taken to the mountains. Naturally, she did not tell anyone about this.
Leng Shiyun couldn't help but think of her own experience and held her hands, "You are also a child with a miserable life."
It would be great if her Fei'er could be so sensible and kind, but she couldn't ask for much. As long as she could come back safe and sound, it would be better than anything else. Even if she became vicious, she was still her child.
"Compared to many people, I am already lucky."
Hu Lianxue noticed from the beginning that Madam Nan Rong must be in a bad mood today.
"By the way, Madam Nanrong, thank you for taking care of my business these days. This is the sachet I made by myself, if you don't mind."
Leng Shiyun looked at the lifelike peony flowers and couldn't help but admire them: "It's so beautiful, how could I dislike it? I will keep it well."
It was rare for this kid to be so thoughtful. Leng Shiyun even felt that the two of them were destined to be together.
"When I have time, I will come to the Marquis' Mansion for a visit. It just so happens that the elders in my family need clothes made." She just made up an excuse casually, but she really wanted to see her.
"Okay, if you need anything, just send someone over."
……
In the East Palace, Meng Wanran dealt with the pastries and looked at the clothes of novel styles.
"These styles obviously shouldn't appear in this era. They are so novel. Could it be that the person who made the clothes also traveled through time?"
She began to feel a sense of crisis. It seemed that there were quite a few people traveling to this world.
But she believed that these were all her competitors, and she was the only one who could be in a high position.
Meng Wanran looked at these clothes and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, she thought, "Wendaidai, that little bitch, likes beautiful clothes, right?" So she gave these clothes to her.
Of course, she would hide something special inside those clothes to make life difficult for that little bitch.
After she succeeded, she would also push the blame on the people who made the clothes. She was pregnant, which was the best ticket to avoid death.
Meng Wanran left all of this to his trusted confidants to handle, and had them stain the clothes with oleander juice and cover it up with incense.
"Even I am tempted by these clothes. Wen Daidai, you are really lucky." Meng Wanran covered her mouth and chuckled, "Let someone send them to her! She will definitely like them."
Then he gave another order, "Tell those people to keep a close eye on the old lady. If she goes out, report to me immediately. If she goes to the other garden to meet someone secretly, tell them not to hesitate and burn down the other garden."
"But, Your Highness the Crown Princess."
"But what but? Didn't I tell you? Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
It seems that this maidservant can no longer be kept. I have to find a way to get rid of her when the time comes.
……
The guy who was originally in charge of delivering the clothes happened to have something to do at home and didn't come today. The other female worker was in a hurry to go home, so the job of delivering the clothes had to be given to Hu Lianxue. "Lianxue, it's really not on my way. I have to rush home to cook for the children. I can only trouble you for a while."
"It's okay, just leave it to me."
She should be fine if she went out with the veil on and didn't make eye contact with anyone. Hu Lianxue put on the veil with trembling hands and saw Jiang Nianwei coming over. "Miss Jiang, how did you find time to come here?"
Jiang Nianwei said with a smile: "I came here specially to see you."
"Did Mr. Wu come to see you today? You must not take what he said to heart."
"How could I take those words to heart? I have to thank Miss Jiang for helping me vent my anger." She lowered her head, her cheeks slightly red. "But it's really not worth it to ruin a business just to vent my anger."
"What's worth it? As long as I can vent your anger, I think it's worth it!"
