The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 545: warn
Chapter 545 Warning
Bai Qingyan turned around and saw Old Lady Dong sitting on the sandalwood bed by the window. She was holding a pair of gilded bronze scissors with a look of pain on her face. She smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m not very good at it…”
All the maids in the room couldn’t help but smile with their handkerchiefs covering their lips.
“Madam, cousin… the master sent a message to ask the cousin to go to the study, saying that a letter has arrived and it’s for the eldest daughter!” A pretty little maid came in, smiled and bowed and said.
The letter from Dadu should be from Jinxiu. Bai Qingyan put down the scissors in his hand and bowed to Old Lady Dong: “Grandma, I’ll be back soon!”
“Go, go! Just spare my flowers and plants!” Old Lady Dong waved her hand at Bai Qingyan.
The brave maids in the room had already laughed out loud, and Chuntao also laughed and said, “Our eldest daughter can do everything, but she is definitely not capable of tending flowers and plants and sewing.”
Old Lady Dong took the hot towel handed to her by the maid, wiped her hands, and said with a smile: “No one can know everything. Taking care of flowers and plants and sewing are just things to kill time when you have free time. What my Abao knows… is what truly benefits the country and the people, and builds a legacy for generations to come.”
When Old Lady Dong said these words, her voice was full of pride.
“Go quickly! Maybe it’s a letter from Jinxiu!” Old Lady Dong paused while wiping her hands. “According to the date, next month… Jinxiu will give birth!”
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Yes…”
“Okay! Grandma will prepare a generous gift for you to bring to Jinxiu!” Old Lady Dong said, waving her hand, “Go! Nanny Wang, bring me my bonsai so I can fix it!”
Bai Qingyan bowed and took her leave, then came out of her grandmother’s yard with Chuntao, where she happened to meet Aunt Luo who was waiting for her outside Old Lady Dong’s yard.
Under the shade of a tree, fanning herself with a round fan, the anxious Concubine Luo, upon seeing Bai Qingyan coming out, quickly straightened the hem of her copper-green skirt embroidered with white camellias, and lifted her golden hairpin, then stepped forward to salute: “I… meet the Princess Zhenguo.”
Bai Qingyan had never seen Aunt Luo, so she didn’t know who the woman in front of her was. Chuntao kindly reminded her, “Miss, it’s Aunt Luo.”
Bai Qingyan raised his eyebrows, but did not let Aunt Luo stand up. He just said, “Aunt Luo, did you not understand what I asked Chuntao to tell you last night?”
Aunt Luo’s heart skipped a beat. Bai Qingyan looked like a weak woman with an extraordinary appearance and a slender figure. She looked like a very soft-hearted girl, but when she opened her mouth, she was so sharp.
After all, Aunt Luo was still bewitched by her good-for-nothing brother, who said that since Aunt Luo couldn’t see Lord Dong these days, she could come to ask for an audience with Princess Zhenguo and ask for marriage on his behalf in front of Princess Zhenguo. After all, Aunt Luo gave birth to Dong Changmao for the Dong family, and Princess Zhenguo would definitely give Aunt Luo some face. Only then did Aunt Luo muster up the courage to come shamelessly.
Unexpectedly, Princess Zhenguo spoke so harshly as soon as they met, which made Aunt Luo unable to say all the words of flattery she had prepared.
“Mrs. Luo hasn’t learned the rules very well. I’m at my maternal grandfather’s house… I don’t have any guards with me. If we were outside the Dong residence, and Mrs. Luo barged in on me like this, I’m afraid she would have been killed before she could even open her mouth.”
Bai Qingyan’s voice was cold and chilly. Aunt Luo felt a chill on her neck and knelt down hurriedly: “Princess Zhenguo, spare my life!”
“Mrs. Luo, I am willing to give you some dignity for Changmao’s sake, but you have to remember… I gave you dignity, and you have to live up to it. As long as you don’t plot against the people around me, I can ignore the affairs of my uncle’s harem. After all, it’s not good for a niece to interfere in the disposal of my uncle’s concubines. But if you plot under my nose, let alone if I want a servant to disappear, even if the maid next to me wants a concubine to disappear, there will be people in this mansion who will rush to help deal with it cleanly.”
The plot was to get close to the people around the Princess Zhenguo…
Aunt Luo immediately trembled like a sieve. She knew that Qingyan’s voice was not loud, but every word was like a needle piercing her heart. She understood that Princess Zhenguo was talking about the purpose of her visit!
Today, Aunt Luo originally wanted to borrow Chuntao to arrange a meeting with her brother, and also to ask Chuntao whether she liked her brother.
“Before you do anything, think more about Dong Changmao. It’s already difficult for a bastard to live in the Dong Mansion. Don’t let him lose face in the Dong Mansion because of you, his concubine!”
After saying that, Bai Qingyan took Chuntao and walked towards Dong Qingyue’s study.
It was not until she heard Bai Qingyan’s footsteps walking away that Aunt Luo collapsed to the ground with a pale face.
The maid who was kneeling on the ground with Aunt Luo quickly crawled to her side and said, “Aunt, let’s go! If Old Lady Dong sees us here, you will be punished again!”
The drowsy concubine Luo originally still had some hope, thinking that it would not be considered a low marriage for the maidservant beside Princess Zhenguo to marry her own brother, but now Bai Qingyan’s words were like a slap in the face, waking her up!
If the Dong family was not the maternal family of Princess Zhenguo, what would she, a concubine of the Dong family, mean in the Dong family? I’m afraid her weight is not even comparable to that of the maidservants around Princess Zhenguo, not to mention being Princess Zhenguo’s personal maidservant!
She was obsessed with the relationship between Princess Zhenguo and the Dong family. She actually believed the words of her good-for-nothing brother and wanted to let Princess Zhenguo’s personal maid marry her brother. It was simply a foolish dream!
If this matter fails, it doesn’t matter if I’m blamed by the master, but what if Changmao is implicated by the important matter?
Changmao is a bastard’s son, and even though he is so outstanding, it is still difficult for him to make a living in the Dong Mansion. She originally wanted to marry Princess Zhenguo so that Changmao would have more power in the Dong Mansion in the future. But if things failed and her son was dragged down, Aunt Luo would not want to live anymore.
“Help…help me up!” Aunt Luo said hurriedly.
When Aunt Luo’s maid helped Aunt Luo back home, she saw her brother, who was running around anxiously in the yard, rushing over to her and craning his neck to look behind him: “Where is the person?”
Aunt Luo glared at her brother fiercely: “I warn you, don’t mention this matter again! She is a maidservant of the Princess Zhenguo. With that status… she is even qualified to marry into a rich family and become the main wife! Don’t let your wishful thinking go on here!”
Aunt Luo’s brother’s face froze, and he immediately became furious. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Did that bitch say that?”
“It was the Princess Zhenguo who said that! I’m telling you… you better control your thoughts and don’t use any dirty tricks! Otherwise… if you implicate my Changmao, I will drag you to death with me!” Aunt Luo was about to cry as she spoke. She angrily threw away her handkerchief and returned to her room. She threw herself on a brocade quilt and started crying.
