Chapter 11 - The Emperor's talent show, internal strife
Even though she was a legitimate daughter, there was no one in the capital who did not know that she had become foolish because of a Fifth Prince.
As for the other concubines, either there were none, or their daughters were still young, so they would naturally not take the Emperor's talent show seriously.
"Eldest young mistress, since Ling'er is already old, shouldn't we follow her second young mistress and learn the rules so that we can get married in the future?" Third Aunt was full of smiles as she looked at Mrs. Meng with a fawning expression.
"This old master has already arranged it. Little sister, don't trouble yourself and disperse!" Mrs. Meng rubbed her forehead tiredly.
Third Aunt's expression immediately changed, and she angrily led her daughter out of the room.
This Third Aunt's personality is straightforward, I really don't know how she managed to protect her four children in such a household like the Qin Manor.
Fifth Madame, who had been standing by the side without a word, stood up as well. She had a gentle personality, neither fighting nor snatching. All she wanted was to live a peaceful life.
When the Seventh Madame saw that Qin Luofei had also stood up, he secretly extended his leg to trip Qin Luofei, who knew that she had already seen through his thoughts, and steadily walked over. On the contrary, she was so tired that she almost fell to the ground, and if not for the support of the maid behind her, she would have pounced into his arms, angering the Seventh Madame to the point her teeth hurt.
This silly Fourth Miss, when did she become so cunning?
Mrs. Meng only hated them. There was no one in this courtyard who did not worry, especially that bastard from the Third Aunt who wanted to send her daughter to the palace.
The Mrs. Meng's eyes swept across the Third Miss that was walking out of the house with an indifferent expression. Her graceful waist twisted and twisted, alluring people with her alive body. Her figure was exactly like the body of the coquettish fox's mother.
That year, when he treated her like his own sisters, but she stole his husband, how could the Mrs. Meng endure this anger? It was a dream to dream of riding on one's own head now.
When Qin Luofei walked out from the courtyard of Mrs. Meng, an female servant from the outer courtyard reported from the entrance, "There is a servant boy from the Fifth Prince Palace who has come to deliver a package to Fourth Miss."
The old woman's voice wasn't loud, but she could hear the other aunts and mistresses behind her.
When Qin Luofei saw that the old woman's face was full of malice and her eyes were unfriendly, she knew that this old woman was waiting here to embarrass her. She didn't know that it was the aunt who instigated her.
Qin Luofei looked back at Daihua, who took the bundle from her.
Qin Luofei's eyes turned cold as she said faintly, "Thank you, mama. I've been waiting for you."
That old woman saw that Qin Luofei's tone wasn't friendly, and in addition, the madam usually didn't like this Fourth Miss, so she allowed the people in the courtyard to bully her. Thus, her tone was rude.
"This old servant is also doing this for the sake of Miss's good name. It's taboo for unmarried men and women to receive each other in private."
Hearing her grandma's words, Qin Luofei's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, but she quickly concealed it.
"Daisy, let's go back!"
"Wait." Third Miss put on a cold expression as she stood in front of Flower Blossom.
Third Miss shook off the bundle she had snatched from Daihua and sneered: "Our Qin family's daughter's reputation has already been destroyed by you, and you still dare to privately accept the things that the man has sent over."
Seventh Madame also sneered at the side: "You don't know your place. You already know to hook up with a man before you even leave the pavilion. What's wrong with that."
Third Aunt watched on happily from the side. Since there was one less daughter in the Qin family, she was naturally willing to have one more dowry for her daughter.
The Fifth Madame lightly sighed, but she didn't dare interfere. Ever since she gave birth to the Fourth Young Master, Mrs. Meng had always disliked her.
Second Miss was just walking out of Mrs. Meng's room when she saw the scene in front of him.
Inside the bundle was a man's silk gown, sewn with fine silk and sewn with fine needlework. It seemed that the man who made the clothes had used his heart.
Qin Luofei was startled. She did not expect that the bundle contained a man's clothes, but she quickly understood that it was this infatuated Fourth Miss who had done it for Fifth Prince's lover.
The others also didn't expect that it was actually the man's brocade robe.
