Let's see who has sharper tongues

  As soon as she thought about it, she fell onto the bed laughing uncontrollably and rolling around. She thought about Li Xun in front of a large crowd, under everyone's watchful eyes, and even in front of his mother, the Crown Prince, and he had kissed her for a whole cup of tea time. Thinking about that scene again, thinking about his mother's jaw dropping to the ground, and other people's petrified expressions, she couldn't help but laugh until her stomach hurt.

  Mr. He's words are indeed of a high level, and there is no humor to be found in his writing, which is very serious and straightforward, and it is precisely because of this serious and solemn description that it has the effect of a cold joke, making her laugh so hard she falls onto the bed, holding her stomach and shouting "oh my" repeatedly.

  I thought it would be more fun to share with others, so I was about to show He's letter to Zhi and Yi, but halfway through, something didn't feel right. I hastily flipped the letter over and took a closer look, suddenly feeling suspicious - this mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, wasn't it...

  "Fourth sister, so you're here?" A soft and weak voice came from behind, like a sudden fright, hastily hiding the letter in her sleeve, she abruptly turned around, it was Yuanxue, she slightly let out a breath.

  "No, nothing... So it's Ruan Xue... Hmm... It's been a month since we last met, and your belly is already this big." Yu Qing calmed down and gazed at Ruan Xue's slightly bulging belly. She hadn't seen her in a long time, and Ruan Xue had lost a lot of weight, looking pale and melancholic. Seeing Yu Qing's delicate and rosy complexion, she covered her belly and smiled lightly, "It's okay, I'm almost five months pregnant now. What's that in your hand? It looks so mysterious?"

  "Nothing, just a letter from my sister-in-law."

  "Oh." Yuexue didn't say anything else, suddenly looked around and abruptly knelt down in front of Ruxue, "Fourth Miss, I beg of you, please spare me."

  Ru Qing jumped in fright and took a step back, "Yue Xue, what are you doing?"

  Yu Xue took two steps forward on her knees, pulling at the hem of Ruo Qing's skirt, with tears streaming down her face and a pleading expression. "Miss, I know you dislike me and wish I would disappear from Master's side immediately. But Miss, please have mercy on me, I'm just a weak woman, if I leave the manor, where can I go in this vast world? Please, Miss, have pity on me and don't let Master drive me away, okay?"

  As if sensing the atmosphere, Linglong coldly shouted from the side: "Xuě Niángzi, you're being unreasonable. It's Master who wants to drive you out of the mansion, what does it have to do with us? Are you begging the wrong person?"

  Chen Xiang also said, "Don't try to shift the blame onto our young lady. Why did Master send you out of the mansion in the first place? I'm sure Master has already made it clear to you, so why are you still making a fool of yourself here?"

  The snow was crying, the pear blossoms were tearful, and she grasped her skirt as if it were a sentimental token, refusing to let go. She begged piteously, "Please, young mistress, have mercy on me and don't drive me out of the mansion! Master wants to expel me because you dislike me. I know I was wrong, and from now on, I'll never dare be disrespectful to you again. Please, young mistress, show compassion and don't drive me out of the mansion, I beg of you!" As she spoke, she knocked her head against the ground again.

  At this time, many slaves in the backyard stopped and whispered to each other, looking at Ruoxi. The place where Xue'er knelt was also a must-pass route to Zhīyì's Qingzhú Courtyard. She suddenly came up with such a play, really finding the right timing.

  As Ruoxi stared at Yuexue, who was singing and composing, she didn't say a word. She just waited for Yuexue to finish speaking a bunch of "Poor her, please have mercy, don't drive her out of the mansion, I won't dare provoke her again, and please, miss, don't look down on me, I'll serve you well from now on." Chenxiang Lian was furious and wanted to push Yuexue away, but Ruoxi stopped her. Ruoxi didn't move or react, just staring coldly at Yuexue as she cried and pleaded. Yuexue cried for a long time, seeing that Ruoxi wasn't responding, she couldn't help but lift her head up.

  "Are you done crying?"

  Yu Xue nodded subconsciously and then fell down in front of Ruan Qing's feet again, "Please, Miss, have mercy on me and don't drive me out of the mansion."

  She said lightly: "You keep saying that you want to drive me out of the house, okay, I'll do as you wish. After giving birth to the child, get out of the house."

  Yu Xue was stunned, and the other servants were also whispering among themselves.

  "You keep saying that I dislike you, and it's true. Ever since I entered this household, you've been making things difficult for me everywhere. You know I don't like noodles, but every day you order the kitchen to make unappetizing noodles for me. You know I have injuries and can't eat ginger sauce or soy sauce, but you deliberately tell the kitchen to make these dishes for me. As a concubine-born daughter, isn't this very glorious? But you loudly proclaim it, so now everyone in Datong knows that Fang Zhiyi's sister is just a concubine-born daughter. I wanted to increase the monthly allowance for the servants, but you refused to agree, saying that giving them food was enough and that there was no need to give them so much silver. Last year, when I gave out gifts to the servants during the New Year, you also obstructed me, saying that this would spoil the servants. No matter what I do, you always oppose it. That's why I dislike you. I think you also dislike me in your heart, otherwise, you wouldn't be speaking ill of me in front of my brother every day. When the new sister-in-law arrived, as soon as she got off the carriage, you told her that Fang Ruoxi has a noble status and is a golden branch and jade leaf, isn't this openly mocking the new sister-in-law's humble family background? You're so good at stirring up trouble between me and the new sister-in-law, opposing me everywhere. It's only right that my brother drives you out of the household. Don't push everything onto me. Although I dislike you, I've never spoken ill of you in front of my brother. On the other hand, you don't know how many bad things you've said about me to my brother. Now it's good that you're here to turn things around and shift the blame onto me. A person like you has a life thinner than paper but a heart higher than heaven. Your mind is narrow and your eyes are biased towards everyone else. Your vision is short-sighted, and you have a mouse-like gaze, yet you think you're clever, except for causing trouble for everyone and accomplishing nothing. You rely on your good looks to play some small tricks, but in the end, you'll harm others and yourself. Now that my brother has seen through your true nature and driven you out of the household, you still don't know how to repent, instead pushing all the blame onto me. Pretending to be crazy, reversing right and wrong, acting weak, seeking sympathy, playing the role of a pitiful and innocent person. You're so pitiful and innocent, but our Fang household is a place that swallows people whole without spitting out bones. No wonder my brother drove you out of the household, it's really because someone like you stays in the household, always causing trouble."

  As if speaking with feeling, slowly and in a low voice, but each word and sentence is clear and distinct, unceasing and strong in penetration.

  Yu Xue was scolded until he couldn't utter a word, kneeling on the ground, staring blankly at Ru Qing.

  Looking down on her with a scornful smile, he said: "You don't have to look at me like that. I really don't want to bother with someone like you. The tricks you use behind people's backs are completely unrefined. I don't need to lower my standards to fight with a servant, it would be damaging to my reputation. However, since you've come again today, I think brother was too easy on you by giving you 100 taels of silver and sending you out of the house. You have two options: either obediently return to your room and take good care of yourself, or be carried back with your mouth covered."

  Xiang Ling's face was a mixture of red and white as she clenched her teeth, her eyes gleaming with a fierce light.

  Others who saw her like this, the little sympathy they had for her just now disappeared, replaced by a strong sense of contempt. Hearing Ruo Jing say this, he hurried forward and smiled obsequiously at Ling Long and the other girl: "Miss, let's work together, how about it?"
