C26 Tolerance of Being Eaten
Rong Ying knew that the time was not right, but the unwillingness that suddenly burst forth from her heart reminded her, so she directly said those words.
"Why is Third Miss not wearing the dress that I asked someone to send over? But do not like the Smoke Glass Dress that I specially made? "
Two question marks popped up in a row, obviously quite aggressive. Rong Qing asked earnestly, causing the old mistress, who had already been escorted into the carriage by Zhang mama, to stop in her tracks.
"What's going on?" The old mistress frowned slightly as she looked disapprovingly at condescendingly. It was one thing for her not to ask Ann this morning for the delay in their departure, but what was going on now that she was acting like a mad dog?
He happened to hear the madame's question, and the madame's face revealed a hint of happiness. She immediately thought that her chance had come.
"When I first married into the house of the Marquis, my mother intentionally spent a large sum of money to find me a skirt made from the filaments of the Deep Sea Dragons. This skirt is extremely precious." "I've always been reluctant to wear it, but this time, when I saw Third Miss return, I felt sorry for her. I was worried that if she didn't have the appropriate clothes to attend the birthday feast, then she would definitely cause the Hou Mansion to lose all its glory, so I intentionally gave the Smoke Glass Dress to Third Miss. I didn't think that Third Miss would waste my good intentions."
After saying that, she looked over Yunke with disdain. Obviously, she despised Yunke's behavior of giving up her glass skirt which was made of fireworks and choosing such an extremely ordinary dress.
The madame, who was standing opposite her, did not ignore the look of disdain in her eyes and snorted. For some reason, she thought that the madame had accepted her words and was dissatisfied with Yun Ke.
He then added, "I don't blame Third Miss for not being close to me. It's just that Third Miss is going to the banquet today. If she wears such shabby clothes, won't it make people look down on our house?"
This time, Madame Li couldn't sit still any longer.
After shaking off the armrest, the nanny took two steps forward and directly walked in front of Rong Lian, pointing at her forehead as she cursed, "You have to show off your dowry and go back to your third room. This isn't a place for you to be cocky about. No matter how good your Smoke Glass Dress is, it's still an old thing. Even if Sister Ke doesn't like you, I can't force her. As for the clothes that Miss Ke is wearing, the material was gifted to us by the emperor a few days ago. It's said that it's a tribute from the south, not some shabby material. "
Madame Li's words made the madame's face darken. The maids and servants by the side all looked at her with a strange expression.
"Xiao Rong, you are becoming more and more unruly. I don't know what that Smoke Glass Dress of yours looks like, but I know that the dress that Miss Ke is wearing is extremely suitable for her. Since our Hou Mansion has such a great daughter, how could she lose face? "
The tone of the madame was very heavy, so heavy that she almost could not bear it. She saw that Yun Ke did not have much on her and thought it was just ordinary clothing. She did not expect it to be a tribute from the emperor.
In this way, not only had she offended the Li Clan, but she was also disrespectful to the Emperor. Upon coming to this conclusion, she kneeled down in fear. "Please forgive me, madame. I am only …" "But …"
However, after half a day, she was still unable to explain anything.
Yun Ke sneered. She had expected that Rong Jun would ask questions if she saw that she wasn't wearing the dress. She might even turn the tables, which was why she rushed over to the Old Mistress' Hall early.
At this moment, seeing Rong Qiao kneel on the ground, covered in cold sweat, she was in an extremely good mood. However, thinking about her next plan, she took a few steps forward.
