After returning home, Sanniang looked uneasy, and that frightened look was not pretended.
Ruan Yuluan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her fingertips holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble a little.
Seeing that something had almost happened, Ji was naturally unhappy. She just scolded the two of them, saying that they "didn't check the almanac before going out" and "it seems that it's still not appropriate for the young lady to go out. It's better not to go out as much as possible. Otherwise, if something happens, you won't have anywhere to cry!"
The two of them stood up respectfully and said yes. Ji didn't want to look at them any longer, so she waved her hand and asked them to go back and rest.
However, they did not expect that three days later, the wife of the Minister of Personnel Cao came to visit, and the two ladies discussed matters behind closed doors.
As soon as Mrs. Cao opened her mouth, the smile on Ji's face faded a little.
"Madam Ji," Madam Cao held up a cup of hot tea with her fingertips, opened the lid, and blew gently. She said in a cold tone, "The marriage we talked about last time... I think we should just give up."
This was unexpected, and Ji frowned: "What does Madam Cao mean?"
"What do you mean?" Madam Cao looked at her even more annoyed than she was, and retorted, "Madam Ji doesn't have a daughter herself, and I'm afraid you don't care if the concubine's daughter in this mansion doesn't look good!"
Mrs. Cao was naturally proud and arrogant. This was a clear sarcasm, and Ji endured it again and again until the two of them said a few perfunctory words and asked someone to send Mrs. Cao away. She sat on the chair, still not knowing what the problem was.
She asked Mother Liu to go to Qinyue Tower to ask Sanniang about it. When she came back, Mother Liu told her the truth in a vague way.
"It seems that I was in Chanxin Temple, and I happened to meet Madam Cao who came to pray for blessings. She didn't like the third lady..."
Ji Shi could only frown when she heard this. She couldn't do anything about this matter that she didn't like.
She took a deep breath and leaned back in her chair, still feeling worried.
"I originally wanted to use Lord Cao to transfer the master to the capital."
She had even prepared a box of silver and money to bring as her dowry to the Cao family...but this incident happened.
The plan failed, so the wife was naturally upset. For several days, when Ruan Yuluan went to pay her respects with others, she always looked cold and didn't say much.
A rare smile appeared on Ruan Yufu's face. When no one was around, he gently curled his lips towards her.
Because of the thrilling experience in Zenshin Temple, the two sisters became closer than anyone else.
As summer was approaching and the weather was getting hotter, Ruan Yuluan was thinking of picking some lotus seeds to make lotus seed soup. Just then, the fourth lady passed by and saw her busy picking lotus seeds under the sun. She couldn't help but fan herself with a round fan and raised her voice to ridicule.
"Fifth sister, I think you haven't drunk enough water from the pond yet. Aren't you afraid of falling in again? I'm afraid you'll have to recuperate again."
The sun was scorching and there was no one around, otherwise she would not have dared to be so disrespectful and presumptuous.
This was an infuriating statement, for everyone knew that it was Ruan Yuxi who pushed the girl into the water last time. Qiu Xiu frowned slightly and was about to speak when she saw Ruan Yuluan turn around, with a smile on her fair little face.
She held a bunch of lotus pods in her fingertips and spoke slowly to Ruan Yuxi.
"Fourth sister is right. The weather is very hot today. Please leave quickly. I wasn't afraid at first, but if you were here... I'm afraid someone would push me again. That would be really scary."
When she said this, her eyes were fixed on Ruan Yuxi's face and her tone was meaningful.
Ruan Yuxi heard the sarcasm in these words and immediately became angry: "You——"
Qiu Xiu, who was listening nearby, also found it somewhat funny.
The Fifth Lady seemed gentle and silent on weekdays, but in fact, she was a person who would not offend others unless they offended her. If someone had malicious intentions, she would not let them take advantage of her. She would bite back fiercely.
