Rebirth: Daughter of Marquis - C79 pond
On the second, third, and fourth day, Xia Yuying always sent things over in a different way, without stopping. However, Xia Weilan always refused them, causing him to not know what to do next.
“Mom, she’s not willing to take anything from me right now.” Xia Yuying said somewhat anxiously.
This daughter of hers, is truly a failure. Her eyebrows knitted tightly: “Since she doesn’t want your things, then you must work hard to curry favor with her. If she doesn’t want to give up, you will be the one to suffer in the future.”
The Grand Princess Ping Ning liked her, and the General Palace was her own Grandfather. As for her, she was just a humble woman with a lowly status, so what right did he have to have such a status?
“Daughter understands. Daughter will settle this matter well.” Xia Yuying said fiercely, her face filled with unease.
One day in the Autumn Garden.
The autumn wind blew drearily. The leaves by the side of the pond had already fallen down, piece by piece. There were some people sweeping by the side. The sound of the broom landing on the ground could be heard.
These fishes looked as if they could play around freely as if they were very happy. However, she felt that there was no difference between her and the fish in the pond, and could only struggle nonstop in the pond, unable to escape from this kind of cage.
“Big Sister, why are you here!” Xia Yuying walked over from afar. She was wearing a pink cotton dress with a bell hanging from her waist. She had a face full of smiles.
When Xia Weilan heard Xia Yuying’s voice from behind, she unconsciously creased her brows. Traces of disgust appeared on her face, and she was extremely displeased in her heart, but she had no other choice; she could only feign feigned camaraderie with the woman in front of her.
When Du Ruo saw the person that came from afar, she did not have any sort of feeling, nor did she feel anything strange.
“Don’t say too much.” Du Ruo made a silent gesture, telling Yue Er not to say anymore.
Yue Er turned her face away, feeling extremely furious in her heart: “She hit you.”
“That’s right, I was looking at the fish swimming happily in the pond and I wanted to take a look as well.” She opened her mouth indifferently, the expression on her face was indifferent as usual, and did not show any signs of intimacy.
Xia Yuying’s face carried a trace of awkwardness, and she sat by the side of the pond with her. She looked at the fish swimming around and said: “Have you received the things that Sisters has sent over the past few days?”
Xia Weilan sneered in her heart, how could she not know that she had confiscated those things?
“Sisters, you’re too polite. I don’t have much time in the next few days, so I’m busy helping Grandmother look at the Accounts. That’s why the servant girls beside me are doing all this.” Xia Weilan said.
When Xia Yuying heard this, her face revealed a puzzled expression. She looked towards Xia Weilan’s side, but when she saw Jiang Du Ruo’s face, her expression started to turn ugly. This was not the person who made things difficult for her that day.
Even though he felt embarrassed, he could only force out a smile and say: “The people beside Big Sister are naturally good. I see that her face is injured, I don’t have any good medicine, why not give it to her to use.”
Xia Weilan didn’t say a word and only continued to concentrate as she looked at the fish swimming back and forth in the pond. Her eyes seemed distant, as if she were an independent immortal.
“How could this servant possibly be worthy of using such a good item? I won’t trouble Second Miss with this matter.” Du Ruo’s body lowered her voice slightly, her words carrying a sense of humility.
“It’s fine, I just happen to have it for you.” Xia Yuying said, then turned her head to the servant girl beside him and said: “Peony, go over and bring my jade dew over for her.”
Peony was shocked and unwilling to go. She said, “Miss, that is what you usually cherish the most.”
“If I tell you to go, then go. Where did all this talk come from? Now, you can come and be my master.” Xia Yuying raised her brows, his cold face carried an unknown emotion.
“Yes, this servant understands.” Peony turned and went to get the things.
Seeing that she had walked far away, Xia Yuying smiled again: “Big Sister, Sisters had personally embroidered a sachet yesterday, and I even wanted to give it to Big Sister as a gift. I hope Big Sister does not dislike it.”
Hearing her words, Xia Weilan finally came back to her senses. She did not know what she was feeling, but she had a very familiar feeling to her.
Was he trying to repeat the same trick?
“Come and let me take a look.” Xia Weilan sat at the side of the pond diagonally, her legs just so happened to be hanging in midair, and her face carried a little curiosity.
Hearing that there was something amiss, Xia Yuying immediately passed the sachet over.
Xia Weilan took the incense bag and carefully stroked it, her eyes looking at the light green incense bag which was embroidered with large amounts of lotuses. With a touch, she knew that it was an extremely good material, only, even though it was good, it was something to use to harm people!
“Aiya, how can this be?” Xia Weilan’s tone of voice was shocked. With a slip of her hand, a sachet fell out of her hand, and just like that, it fell into a pond in the direction below.
All that could be heard was a soft “plop.” The exquisite perfume bag fell into the pond.
“Sisters, Big Sister isn’t doing this on purpose. If not, get someone to go down and fish out the sachet.” Xia Weilan’s tone carried astonishment, and her face was filled with helplessness and regret, as if she really couldn’t bear to part with the perfume bag in front of her.
Xia Yuying’s expression did not change one bit, but she was already furious in her heart: “It doesn’t matter, if Big Sister likes it, Sisters can just embroider an incense bag another time, Big Sister does not need to be sad over such a small matter.”
Xia Weilan stood up and went over to help her body. She came down from the pond.
“Sisters is so considerate. I thought you were going to fall into the water when I lost my footing again.” There was a bright smile on her face, but it was as if her eyes were like daggers that could stab someone.
Xia Yuying’s expression slightly froze, but quickly returned to normal. When she said those words earlier, they caused her to unconsciously think back to the scene at the pond that day, and her heart felt slightly cold.
“What is this Big Sister is saying? I can’t understand.” Xia Yuying pretended not to know anything and said.
“Since Sisters doesn’t understand, then Big Sister is even more confused. After sitting there for a while and feeling cold, I will go back first.” Xia Weilan said.
