Chapter 117 Opinionated

Leng Shuang didn’t call Qin Linfeng the Grand Young Master. Even though she served Qin Yunuan, it didn’t imply that she served the Qin Family as well. Qin Yunuan was very much satisfied with that. That was exactly what she wanted from loyal servant girls, always clear regarding their positions and perspectives. Nurse Liao, Maner and Ting Xue were all very good at this. She didn’t want to see another one like Tong.

“Very good.” Qin Yunuan smiled contemptuously. Qin Linfeng was really as reckless as he was in the previous life. However, in this life, Qin Yunuan had the advantage of knowing Qin Linfeng’s weakness, Qin Yunzhuang.

Under the blockade of Qin Yunuan, Qin Yunzhuang still hadn’t received the news from the Psycho Tower when she set off the next day.

“Why don’t you know? The Psycho Tower is only half a day’s drive away from the Royal City, send someone again.” Qin Yunzhuang scolded nurse Gui coldly. If she weren’t getting her manicure done by three servant girls, she must have slapped nurse Gui to calm her uneasy heart down. Nurse Gui had become more and more inefficient recently, and had been absent-minded in her work. Humph, these servants only had their own thoughts as the Dou Family went down.

“Forget it, every one of you is ungrateful.” Qin Yunzhuang was annoyed. She tossed the dyed flower juice beside her hand to the ground, pushed away the servant girls who were serving her, stared at them fiercely for a while, and then looked at nurse Gui and said, “I don’t care. When I return from the palace in the evening, I must know the news from the Psycho Tower.” Then, she turned to the rest of the servant girls and yelled, “Why are you still standing here? Go away! You can’t even do a nice manicure.”

These three servant girls were sent here to serve Qin Yunzhuang just a while ago. That was because Qin Yunzhuang’s temperament changed a lot from a while ago, from the dignified and generous Grand Miss Qin to an irritable and unreasonable lady. Qin Yunzhuang changed her servant girls multiple times, but none of them satisfied her.

The servant girls left as if they were pardoned. Qin Yunzhuang closed her eyes, thinking that she would set off in half an hour, but her mood seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea. She was uneasy as long as she didn’t have any news from the Psycho Tower. She rested her head on her hand, and kneaded her slightly swollen temple with another hand.

Suddenly, she heard the door squeak open, which was followed by a soothing and pleasant smell, and the sound of someone picking up the small porcelain bottle filled with flower juice and tiding up the desk.

“Didn’t I tell you to go away?” Qin Yunzhuang opened her eyes furiously, but she saw an ugly and unfamiliar looking servant girl, who seemed to be honest, packing up the mess from just now. As soon as she heard Qin Yunzhuang’s shout, she immediately stopped and waited aside. She didn’t dare to make any noise.

Beautiful people would easily loosen their guard against the ugly ones. Seeing the timid look of the servant girl, even though Qin Yunzhuang’s tone was still irritable, she seemed to have calmed down a little on the inside. “You stupid thing, who let you in?”

“Grand Miss, the servant girls who serve you said that your room is dirty, so they send me to clean it up.”

Sending someone in while Qin Yunzhuang was losing her temper. Apparently this servant girl was tricked by the others. It seemed that the ugly servant girl was indeed quite silly.

“Alright, go after you finish,” Qin Yunzhuang said impatiently, then she suddenly shifted the subject and asked, “I haven’t seen you before. Are you new here?”

“The Grand Young Master sent me to your courtyard a couple days ago, saying that I have good make-up and combing skills and that I should serve Grand Miss well.”

Qin Yunzhuang’s eyes suddenly lighted up. Knowing that the ugly servant girl was sent by his elder brother, she immediately felt much closer with her. “Do you really have good make-up and combing skills? Why haven’t I heard about it from anyone else?”

“I look ugly, unlike you, Grand Miss. You are the most beautiful woman in the country. You are as pretty as a fairy. I only dare looking at Grand Miss from afar usually, and I would exclaim in my heart that there actually is someone who is as beautiful as a painting. If I could have the chance to do the nails and the hair of such a beauty like Grand Miss, I could die without regrets.”

These words fit the mind of Qin Yunzhuang very much. She loved to be pretty. She loved to be praised. Moreover, she loved this kind of admiration from the ugly servant girl.

“If that’s the case, I’ll give you a chance.” Qin Yunzhuang pouted her lips at her nails and the unfinished manicure, “Finish these for me. If it’s good indeed, I’ll naturally reward you.”

Hearing this, the ugly servant girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if it were a big favor. Then, she held Qin Yunzhuang’s hand as if it were a treasure and started mixing the flower juice for her.

Because of this incident, Qin Yunzhuang was a quarter of an hour late when she finally appeared at the gate of the mansion of Grand Commandant.

Qin Yunuan was wearing a crimson water-spun top today, and a piece of sky silk skirt that Leng Changxi gave her as Su Chenghai. She was putting on light make-up only, and her lips were naturally red without putting any colors on. There was a beautiful gardenia silk flower diagonally inserted in her hair. Yesterday, Leng Changxi deliberately sent someone to inform Qin Yunuan that the Queen Mother loved gardenia the most. Although it’s unnecessary to try too hard to please the Queen Mother, Qin Yunuan remembered that Leng Changxi once said the Queen Mother was someone that he highly respected. Because of this, Qin Yunuan was willing to dress up for the banquet in an equally respectful attitude.

Meanwhile, as the gorgeous and beautiful Qin Yunzhuang with red nails appeared at the gate of the mansion, she formed a sharp contrast with Qin Yunuan. Qin Yunzhuang was still glamorous and bright as always. But after all that had happened, everyone seemed to think that Qin Yunuan who was recently titled the Infantra and confirmed the wedding with General Leng, with the gentle smile and attitude, was even more pleasant.

“Elder sister’s here,” Qin Yunuan greeted her with a smile.

To Qin Yunzhuang, Qin Yunuan’s attitude was undoubtedly disgusting, but she can’t get angry. The carriage waiting outside was sent directly by the Queen Mother in the palace. Everyone from the driver to the nannies and eunuchs worked for the Queen Mother. She had to stay pretty and elegant, or at least pretend to be so.

“I’m really sorry. I just feel unwell, so I’m a bit late,” Qin Yunzhuang bowed slightly.

“Really? If elder sister was feeling unwell, then what about the banquet?” Qin Yunuan dragged her tone.

“Naturally I’m coming along,” Qin Yunzhuang rushed to say. She immediately realized that she was too excited and slightly lost her manner, so she stroke her chest and said, “Since this is an invitation from the Queen Mother, Yunzhuang would insist on going regardless.”

“Really?” Qin Yunuan lowered her head and smiled slightly.

“Oh, what a beautiful carriage.” Qin Yunzhuang saw the carriage with four horses parking in front of the gate at first glance. The wheels were wood-colored and well-polished. The carriage curtains were purple underneath with yellow covering. Even the spikes on the carriage windows were made of fine silk satin. The windows were hollowed out, and a skylight was specially done on the carriage roof for ventilation in the hot summer. It already looked so comfortable from the outside, which made people wonder how exquisite and gorgeous the carriage could be on the inside.

“Yunuan also think it’s nice.” Compared with Qin Yunzhuang, Qin Yunuan seemed very indifferent, but her eyes still showed a little joy. Seeing this, the people sent by the Queen Mother all felt that the Third Miss Qin was more sensible and decent.

“Okay, elder sister, let’s go. It’s late already.” Qin Yunuan carried her skirt and was about to board the carriage, but found that Qin Yunzhuang followed her subconsciously. She naturally thought that such a beautiful carriage was prepared for the first daughter of the mansion of Grand Commandant, or in the worst case, she would share the carriage with the daughter of a concubine.

“Grand Miss Qin, this is the carriage of Third Miss.” Maner suddenly smiled slightly and blocked Qin Yunzhuang. Then she pointed to the back and said loudly, “Grand Miss, your carriage is the one back there.”

Qin Yunzhuang was stunned. Looking at the direction which Maner was pointing at, Qin Yunzhuang only saw a common carriage with the flag of the mansion of Grand Commandant. Even though it was also finely decorated and set up, it was nothing compared to the majestic carriage of Qin Yunuan.

“I don’t want to sit in that carriage,” she blurted. Qin Yunzhuang had a bad temper recently, but she forgot that she was surrounded by Queen Mother’s people. Although she regretted it the moment she said it, what was done cannot be undone.

Qin Yunuan had already got in the carriage. She heard Qin Yunzhuang’s sentence clearly. Qin Yunuan smiled and lifted the soft carriage curtain, looked at Qin Yunzhuang and said, “If you’re not willing to go by carriage, you can choose to go on foot. Since the empress likes you so much, elder sister, she won’t blame you for sure, even if you arrive tomorrow.”

Qin Yunzhuang’s glance immediately shot at her viciously like flying arrows. Qin Yunuan merely smiled gently, and her glance raised and formed an invisible barrier with imposing momentum, blocking and reflecting all the dissatisfaction of Qin Yunzhuang. In terms of a stare down, how could Qin Yunzhuang fight her?

Seeing Qin Yunzhuang reluctantly get on the carriage behind her, Qin Yunuan ordered Maner, “It’s hot in such a summer day. The nannies and eunuchs must be thirsty. Maner, give them some money for tea.”

Qin Yunuan was no longer the poor girl who had to make every cent worth. Golden Butterfly Embroidery House was now getting bigger and bigger in the regions south of the River. As Shen Xun was letting go, Qin Yunuan took over the management. Now she was the greatest shareholder of Golden Butterfly Embroidery House, a veritable rich lady indeed.

The carriage stopped at Rosefinch Gate, and the invited ladies had already entered. However, there was another carriage that arrived as late as Qin Yunuan’s, and was getting checked at the gate.

Judging from the decoration of the carriage, Qin Yunuan could recognize at a glance that it was from the Shangguan Mansion.
