Only Xiao Ling was still as calm as ever. Her calm appearance showed the deep shrewdness that she should not have at her age. "Xiaoqing, your Third Younger Sister is really eloquent. She is so eloquent and has said so much to me. I think she must be thirsty. Xiaoqing, why aren't you quickly adding more for Younger Sister Xiaoling?”
The anger on Miss Liu's face was fleeting, and she immediately smiled like a flower. She looked at Xiaoqing happily, but Xiaoqing was scared out of her wits. She could not guess what Miss Liu meant. She raised her trembling fingers, held the teapot, and looked at Xiao Ling. How could a concubine's younger sister trouble her to pour tea for her? She really didn't know what she was worth. She already hated Xiao Ling to the bone.
"Elder sister really has a crush on younger sister. It's better for younger sister to pour tea for elder sister.”Miss Liu did not expect Xiao Ling, who did not seem to be at a disadvantage at all, to be so well-mannered. She watched as Xiao Ling slowly stood up and took the teapot from Xiao Qing's hand. Her milky white fingers reflected the blue-and-white porcelain tea set, as if they were a match made in heaven.
Seeing her skillfully pick up the teapot and pour tea for Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing sat down. Xiao Ling was very thoughtful, and she smiled in satisfaction. Lady Liu's face turned white and red. Seeing that she could not sow discord, her bright eyes turned and she came up with another plan. She half-covered her lips and smiled shyly." Seeing that Third Lady is so skilled in doing these servant things, she must have done it often."”
Xiao Ling only smiled and did not say a word. She filled up Xiaoqing's cup of tea and sat down slowly, ignoring Miss Liu's words. Xiaoxun had a look of watching the fire from the other side of the river, her foxy eyes constantly turning between Miss Liu and Xiao Ling, while Xiao Lingyi looked at Xiao Ling with worry, afraid that something would happen if she was not careful.
"Oh, I know. Third Miss must have been following behind the Tuoba family's daughter all day long and is used to serving tea and water to the domineering Tuoba family's daughter.”After Miss Liu finished speaking, she looked at Xiaoqing beside her and giggled together with Xiaoqing, mocking Xiao Ling.
Lady Liu's words were very straightforward. She wanted to be Tuoba Feng's dog, but she had to use this to mock Xiao Ling. All the ladies present knew this, but they could only lower their heads and not dare to say anything.
"Miss Liu, you must be joking. These are the basic things that you have to learn. In the future, when you serve your husband and entertain guests, you won't lose face for your family and be called uneducated. Miss Tuoba is both civil and martial. She's not the kind of ignorant person that you say she is.”
Xiao Ling's words were clearly scolding Miss Liu for being ignorant, incompetent, and uneducated. Miss Liu's words were stuck in her throat. She couldn't say it out, but she swallowed it down. It was really embarrassing to be rendered speechless by her in front of such a group of people. If she didn't teach her a lesson, how could she survive in this industry in the future?
Miss Liu did not say anything else. She picked up the teacup in front of her and was about to splash it at Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling turned around cleverly." Tuoba Feng!”When Lady Liu heard Tuoba Feng's name, she was frightened out of her wits. She obediently put down her hand that was suspended in mid-air and smiled brightly at the door.
After a long time, Tuoba Feng was nowhere to be seen at the door. A few girls covered their mouths with their clothes and giggled. "I didn't expect Miss Liu to be so afraid of Miss Tuoba.”
Miss Liu was furious. Xiao Lingyi and Xiao Xun's laughter made her feel uncomfortable. Since young, she, Liu Yun, had never suffered such humiliation. She no longer cared about Tuoba Feng's face and shouted at Xiao Ling. "Fear? What a joke. I've always been the only one who made others afraid.”
Liu Yun's two slender arms were crossed in front of her chest. The rouge on her cheeks became even redder, and her eyes revealed a fierce light. Clearly, she was angry out of humiliation. She glared fiercely at Xiao Ling, and really wished that she could immediately rush over and tear Xiao Ling's mouth into pieces. "Even if Tuoba Feng was here, I wouldn't put her in my eyes. As for you, Third Miss, don't be too arrogant. This is the Imperial Palace, not your Xiao Family's courtyard. You can't be presumptuous!”
After Liu Yun finished speaking, his fair palm landed on the table, making a heavy sound. Xiao Qing could not help but shiver. Xiao Lingyi and Xiao Xun, who were beside her, were also frightened. Only Xiao Ling still had a calm and steady appearance. She was calm and composed as if she was declaring war. No matter how powerful you are, what can you do to me?
" Young lady, young lady." Just as she was frozen, a maid in green clothes hurriedly opened the curtain of the tent and rushed in from outside. The person standing at the door was suddenly pecked by the cold wind. For a moment, it seemed that the heat in the whole room had dissipated a lot. The fragrance of roses filled the air and filled the entire tent.
"Why are you so flustered? Could it be that you're being chased by some dog? Your reckless appearance is really embarrassing!”Liu Yun was already filled with anger, and her servant girl had barged in at such an inappropriate time. The cold air also attacked her, so she naturally vented her anger on the servant girl.
The servant girl lowered her head and remained silent as she listened to Liu Yun's lecture. She still did not know that her master was righteous. Her mouth kept muttering something. Xiao Ling looked carefully and saw that she was a servant girl from a wealthy family. She was born so delicate and pretty. Although she could not be said to be devastatingly beautiful, she was still as beautiful as a flower. However, her impetuous character was the same as Liu Yun. After following her for a long time, her words and actions had some of Liu Yun's charm.
Xiao Ling was sizing her up when Liu Yun quickly walked over and slapped her face. The crisp sound shocked everyone. When the servant girl came back to her senses and saw the fierce light in Liu Yun's bright eyes, she knew that she had caused trouble and was scared out of her wits.
She cried out in pain. Without thinking, she immediately knelt in front of Liu Yun. She did not dare to touch the palm print on her face. "When did you have the right to pick on this lady's words? I think it's because I spoiled you too much and spoiled you too much.”
After Liu Yun finished speaking, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right. Wasn't she destroying her own prestige? In this way, Xiao Ling became even more arrogant. She stomped her foot fiercely and stepped on the servant girl's finger on the ground. She instantly screamed in a heart-wrenching manner. Liu Yun was also shocked and hurriedly moved her foot away.
The servant girl raised her arm. Her originally slender fingers were covered with a layer of shoe dust, and then they became red and swollen. "What are you shouting for? Isn't it embarrassing enough? Get up quickly.”Liu Yun looked at the servant girl kneeling on the ground in disgust and shouted sternly. Therefore, the servant girl swallowed her sobs and stood up.
"Tell me, what is it?"
"This servant was…behind the tent over there just now. I heard the laughter of a woman. Then, I went over to take a look. It was…it was Miss Tuoba and Miss An. They…they had…"
The servant girl stopped talking. Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Xiao Ling was frightened. She quickly pulled the servant girl beside Liu Yun and said anxiously," What, what do they have? Hurry up and say it."”The servant girl looked at Liu Yun beside her. Her expression was slowly improving, and the corners of her mouth curled up into an obscure smile.
"Speak!" Liu Yun gave a one-word order. Even without saying it, everyone present knew that An Ming was good at sharpening mirrors. She and Tuoba Feng were hiding behind the tent, and there was the sound of women laughing. The servant girl must have seen the two of them fooling around. "They, they're both half-naked. Miss An, Miss An, this servant can't bring herself to say it.”
The servant girl shut her eyes tightly. When she recalled the scene she had just seen, her face turned red. Xiao Lingyi and Xiao Xun exchanged a glance before lowering their heads with red faces. Xiao Ling's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at the servant girl for a long time and was speechless. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted.
The flowing red hair on her bun swayed gently as Xiao Ling bit her lower lip fiercely. "How dare you spread rumors about the Tuoba family's daughter and Ms. An? You're really tired of living.”
Xiao Ling said fiercely. The scene of Tuoba Feng and An Ming hanging out appeared in her mind. She remembered Tuoba Feng's silence towards An Ming and how she nodded at her before leaving. Now that she thought about it, it was too late for regrets. She should have gone with Tuoba Feng just now.
"Third Miss, you're the one who's bold, aren't you? You're a servant girl of the Liu family. Since when is it your turn to teach her a lesson? Besides, you can go and see for yourself whether what our Qing 'er said is true or not. Everyone in our circle knows that An Ming is good at polishing mirrors. How do you know that it's our Qing' er who spread rumors?”
Liu Yun's expression was much better. She was not happy when she saw Xiao Ling's pale face and speechless appearance. Her smiling eyes landed on Xiao Ling's red lips. Looking at her lips that were bitten until they were a little green, she sneered in her heart.
"No, Tuoba wouldn't do that. It must be you. You're the one who's stirring up trouble here and deliberately ruining Tuoba's reputation.”Xiao Ling knew how important a good reputation was to a young lady. Didn't she suffer from this in her previous life? If her reputation was ruined, her future would be ruined. Otherwise, the young lady who lost her handkerchief would not have taken her life.
"Hmph, how do you know she won't? You're not a worm in her stomach. You're just a dog by her side.”As Liu Yun spoke, she walked towards Xiao Ling. She lifted Xiao Ling's chin frivolously, and that beautiful face was delicate and moving. Xiao Ling merely lowered her eyes and stared at Liu Yun with a fierce look. The more she hated him, the happier Liu Yun would be. As long as Tuoba Feng fell, this beautiful third young lady would also die.
" You're quite pretty. Look at your red lips. They're so alluring. Perhaps the Tuoba family's daughter has taken a fancy to your beautiful face.”As she spoke, her fingers gently brushed across Xiao Ling's lips. Her fingertips were slightly cold, and Xiao Ling felt a bone-piercing chill. The happiest one was naturally Xiaoqing. This time, he could borrow Miss Liu's hand to get rid of Xiao Ling, the thorn in his side.
