The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting
Chapter 48: Conspiracy
As she spoke, she stared at Ruan Yuluan and said slowly, "Fifth Lady, so, do you know who did this? Do you have any evidence?"
The girl's eyes were gentle and she smiled calmly.
"Although I know who it is...I have no evidence."
She caught a glimpse of Ruan Yuxi letting out a sigh of relief, and then she continued.
"But there were many people at that time, so there must have been a few who saw it. And there were also the maids around..."
This is in someone else's house. Even if Ruan Yuxi can bribe one maid, she can't bribe everyone.
If Madam is determined to investigate this matter and ask carefully, she will surely be able to get the truth.
Ruan Yuxi couldn't help but feel guilty again. She pursed her lips and said in a delicate voice, "Fifth sister, why do you have to investigate it to the end? It's just that you were careless today. You just need to be more careful in the future."
After the Fourth Lady said she wanted to investigate, her language became much more restrained than at the beginning.
Ruan Yuluan pursed her lips and smiled slightly, saying nothing.
Ji was also a shrewd person. She glanced at the fourth lady, whose brows inevitably revealed a hint of worry and guilt, and understood something in her heart.
But she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this fourth lady is really not worthy of being on the stage! It's fine if she did it, but she was discovered and forced into a corner.
She had her own ideas in mind and did not agree with Fifth Lady's suggestion to conduct a thorough investigation. She just scolded Ruan Yuxi a few words.
On the carriage back home, the Fourth Lady glared at Ruan Yuluan indignantly and sarcastically.
"Fifth sister is really scheming."
Just a few words made his wife suspicious of him.
Seeing this used to describe herself, Ruan Yuluan glanced at her in confusion and smiled, "Fourth sister, you are too kind. But no matter how scheming I am, I will never hurt others for no reason..."
As Ruan Yuxi's expression turned ugly, she spoke more bluntly.
"Fourth sister, next time you try to hurt someone, remember to be smarter... Otherwise, it will be so embarrassing if you are seen through."
Just at this moment the carriage stopped. The fourth lady sneered, reached out to lift the curtain and let out a threatening word.
"Let's wait and see!"
Soon, after the beginning of summer, another summer came. In a place like the capital, being frugal would be looked down upon. The wife asked the housekeeper to buy some cloth so that the sisters could choose for themselves.
In the afternoon, she called the four ladies of the Ruan family to the main courtyard, holding a cup of warm tea between her fingertips, and spoke slowly.
"...I have prepared some cloth. You can all go and pick some so that the embroiderer can make new clothes for you."
When they arrived, they saw the two newly promoted Bai concubines there. Both of them were born as servants, and they were very good at judging people, being humble and submissive, and were very respectful and obedient to the master and the mistress.
Therefore, the lady was willing to give them some face and let them share Aunt Xu's favor.
So Xia Yue led the four ladies around the screen and into the compartment, where they saw all kinds of fabrics with all kinds of materials and patterns on the coffee table.
"Ladies, take your time to choose," Xia Yueyan said with a smile, "I will go and prepare some refreshments for you."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Ruan Yuluan actually had little interest in these fabrics, but Sanniang was very interested. She took her hand and handed her a piece of fabric, saying, "I think this color will suit you."
The girl stretched out her fingertips and ran them across the piece of fabric. It was light blue in color, with flower patterns embroidered on it with silver thread. It looked nice.
She nodded gently: "This is okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand reached out from the side and snatched the cloth away from his hand.
Ruan Yuxi said in a spoiled tone: "I want this, you two, look at something else!"
As he spoke, he stared at Ruan Yuluan and snorted contemptuously.
Sanniang was about to step forward to argue with her, but Ruan Yuluan's eyes swept across the sharp golden hairpin in her hair, and she naturally had a plan in mind.
She lowered her eyelashes, grabbed Ruan Yufu's fingertips, and shook her head gently at her.
"Forget it, it's better not to bother with people like Fourth Sister... Let's go over there and take a look."
Ruan Yufu's anger subsided a lot after hearing this, and he said to Ruan Yuxi, "Yes, don't get involved in Fourth Sister's viciousness!"
She still remembered the incident in the Duke Xuan's mansion not long ago when the fourth lady plotted against Ruan Yuluan. These words sounded particularly meaningful.
Perhaps her thoughts were revealed, Ruan Yuxi's face turned red with anger and she glared at the two of them fiercely.
The Sixth Lady beside her was afraid of causing trouble, so she quickly advised her: "Fourth sister, please stop being angry. Choosing materials is a serious matter."
Unexpectedly, Ruan Yuxi didn't look at her well: "Do you have the right to speak? You are just a little girl born to my mother's slave. Do you really think you can be on equal footing with me?"
The Sixth Lady had a pale complexion. Her biological mother, Aunt Du, was originally a maid of Aunt Xu. Later, she became favored and promoted to the aunt's wife. Therefore, she was always shorter than the Fourth Lady.
Ruan Yuxi was too lazy to pay attention to her. When Ruan Yuluan heard this, she somewhat disagreed.
"You are my father's daughter, and so is my sixth sister. How can you say that about her? Is Concubine Xu's family background so noble?"
This seemed to be reasonable, but in fact it was infuriating. The fourth lady could not bear this, so she stepped forward and pushed the girl. Ruan Yuluan saw the opportunity and rushed straight towards the golden hairpin beside her bun.
"what……"
In the flower hall, a scream was heard from next door, and the Sixth Lady and the Third Lady hurriedly called out "Fifth Sister (Fifth Sister)", and the whole place was in chaos.
