Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

I walked to the door and watched them walk out of the courtyard, then turned around, my eyes kept drifting to the two large boxes. The boxes were rectangular, with cloud and plum blossom patterns carved on the front, a brass ornament in the middle, and a small lock on the nail nose button.

I sat on the stool at the door and looked at the sky and the clouds.

Not long after, the courtyard gate opened again, and this time a thin maid in a blue shirt came in with a food box. When she saw me sitting at the door, she came closer and said, "Greetings to the young lady. Young lady, this is a food box filled with vegetables that Cong Mama picked for you, and she specially asked me to deliver it."

I took the lunch box and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, sister. Come back soon, or else all the delicious food will be snatched away."

The little maid was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you for your consideration, young lady. Then, Cuihu will go back first. Young lady, enjoy your meal."

When I had seen her off, I walked to the front door, bolted it, went back into the house, closed the door, and then walked over to the big box.

I first picked the one outside and lifted it. The box was quite heavy, so I could only lift it an inch or so. I pushed it again, but there was no sound from the box. It must have contained some clothes and jewelry.

I tried to lift the box closer to the inside, but it was heavier than the other one, and I couldn't lift it at once. I pushed it, and heard a "click" sound, and then I heard a tinkling sound from inside the box, as if it was filled with something.

I went around to the front of the second box and found that its lid was not closed tightly. There was a tiny gap, as if something inside the box was pushing against it, preventing it from closing tightly. When I pushed just now, I accidentally pushed open the small lock that was not locked very tightly.

I quickly pinched the small lock to take it down, opened the lid and saw a large cushion inside. On the cushion stood two tall white porcelain double-handled pots with eyebrow designs, tied together with strings on both sides. They were holding up the lid. The ears of one of them had been knocked off and fell into the box. The tinkling sound just now must have been made by their collision.

There were a few cotton-padded jackets next to the two-handled kettle, and a large folded blanket next to the jackets. I reached out and felt something hard under the blanket.

I carefully lifted the blanket and saw two mother-of-pearl sandalwood boxes neatly placed side by side. The mother-of-pearl was silvery white with a hint of pink and blue, and they were also tied with thread and firmly fixed in the box. I opened one of the wooden boxes and saw a crystal clear white jade bottle lying inside, surrounded by several towels.

Just as I was about to reach out to open another wooden box, a cold female voice came from behind me: "What are you doing?"

I was so scared that I shivered and my hand loosened and I was almost hit by the box lid. Fortunately, I caught it in time.

I turned around slowly and saw a young girl with her hair in a bun, a hibiscus stone-edged hairpin on her head, a silver filigree sapphire peony hairpin, two white jade lily of the valley earrings on her ears, a purple pomegranate skirt with gold sprinkled on it, and a narrow silver jacket made of cloud satin with hundreds of butterflies on it. Her face was like a hibiscus and her eyebrows were like willows, and I felt pity for her.

Unfortunately, she was looking at me warily, and her big eyes were not filled with affection, but were full of hostility.

"I'm asking you, what are you doing?" When she saw that I didn't answer, she frowned tightly, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

"Ah, I saw the servants put down the box and left, so I came to check. I heard some clanging and banging inside, and I was afraid that if something was damaged in our house, I would not be able to escape the responsibility and be punished by my superiors. In a moment of anxiety, I opened the box without permission. I hope that the young lady will forgive me." After saying this, I lowered my body and was about to salute.

"Get up." She said in a softer tone.

I looked up at her and saw that she was touching her lily of the valley earrings with her fingers, with an annoyed look on her face, looking at me doubtfully.

"Why are you alone here?"

"To answer the young lady, I am new here. Everyone else has gone to eat, so I will stay here to take care of the young lady's luggage and room."

The doubts on Fangfeng Yiying's face gradually faded away. She walked to the box and opened the lid with her jade hand.

She only made a "tsk" sound and muttered to herself, "It actually broke..."

I saw that she didn't look regretful, but rather seemed a little worried. I didn't know what she was thinking, so I just stared at her profile.

She felt the gaze on her, turned to look at me, and asked, "Why are you staring at me?!"

I smiled and said, "Young lady, your beauty is so stunning that I have never seen anyone so beautiful. I was mesmerized by her for a moment. I hope you will forgive me."

Her face flushed, and she looked a little proud, and she said angrily: "You are such a sweet talker! You are in Chenrong Mansion, and your Miss Xinyue passes by you every day, and you still say that you have never seen a beautiful person!"

I smiled and said nothing, looking like I knew everything.

She closed the lid of the box and was about to continue talking when Yuan Zi's voice came from the gate: "Lanxiang, I'm back! Have you had lunch yet?"

I thought to myself that something was wrong, and saw that Fangfeng Yiying's expression changed. He glanced at me from top to bottom.

Yuan Zi had already walked to the door. Seeing Fang Feng Yiying and I standing inside, his expression changed. He bowed and saluted: "Yuan Zi greets Miss Fang Feng!"

Fang Feng Yiying said nothing, walked slowly to her, and stretched out his hand to lift her earlobe. The sunlight passed over Yuan Zi's earrings, and the gold leaf pearl earrings reflected a dazzling golden light.

Fang Feng Yiying's anger was like a storm, and there were signs of a violent storm. Yuan Zi felt the anger rolling in the air, and was so frightened that her body was shaking like a sieve. She lowered her eyes and dared not look at her. She just bowed her head and apologized repeatedly: "Miss, please forgive me! Miss, please forgive me!"

Fang Feng Yiying sneered and said, "How can I be so arrogant as to punish you?!"

Yuan Zi was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a plop, saying, "Miss, please calm down!"

Fang Feng Yiying clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms, and said angrily: "You two, you don't even take me seriously! You came here just to make me angry, and you still have the audacity to ask me to calm down?!"

After saying that, she stretched out her hand and actually pulled off the earring on Yuan Zi's ear, leaving a streak of blood.

Yuan Zi cried out in pain, covering her earlobes, and big tears fell.

I hurriedly stepped forward and advised: "Miss, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it -"

She turned around, glared at me, and angrily said, "How dare you teach me a lesson?! I think you have forgotten who you are!

People think you are clever, but I don't think so. You dare to deceive and play tricks on your future mistress. I think you will not be well in the future!"

I sneered, looking at Yuan Zi's tears, thinking of her cruelty in the future, I couldn't help but feel angry and said, "We are all born by our parents, so who is nobler than who? Even if you are the lady, you have to convince others with reason. How can you humiliate others for no reason?!"
