Chapter 10: Appointment

Because of Fei Cuiโ€™s words, everyoneโ€™s eyes were now directed at her face. Seeing that everyone was believing her now, Fei Cui deliberately raised her head to show everyone the fingerprints on her face.

On her pale skin, the red fingerprints could be clearly seen. It was just that the two thumbs on the fingerprints were pointing down. With one look, you could tell that she had done it herself.  At this point, the servants began to believe Murong Qi Qi.

โ€œIt seems that what Third Miss had said is the truth! Didnโ€™t think that Fei Cui is actually such a person! Third Miss is already miserable enough, Fei Cui still framed her like this!โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s right, ah! Could it be that Second Miss is teaching Fei Cui like this in private? She really wants to be Jing wangfei? The big sister wants to steal the little sister’s husband, really shameless, ah!โ€

  • Wangfei: main wife of the prince of first rank

โ€œEven in the presence of Third Miss, she was saying things like that, really too daring!โ€

How could Fei Cui know that when Su Mei slapped her, she already used a trick? And at this moment, seeing everyone talk bad about her, Fei Cui could only look at Murong Xin Lian for help.

โ€œMiss, itโ€™s really her who beat me!โ€

โ€œFei Cui, kneel!โ€

Everyoneโ€™s words also went into Murong Xin Lianโ€™s ears. She didnโ€™t think that Fei Cui was so stupid and nearly ruined her plan.

No matter what, just now everyone had heard Fei Cui say ‘rubbish’. At this time, if she didnโ€™t punish Fei Cui, everyone would think that it was her who was behind all of this and made Fei Cui act so arrogant. For her reputation, she could now only throw away the soldier (pawn) and defend the carriage.

โ€œSecond Missโ€ฆโ€ฆ.โ€

Fei Cui didnโ€™t know what had happened. Why was there such terrible coldness in Murong Xin Lianโ€™s eyes?

โ€œSecond Miss, Iโ€™m innocent!โ€

โ€œKneel down! Apologize to Third Miss!โ€

Murong Xin Lianโ€™s clenched fists were hidden in her sleeves. The nails had pierced her delicate arms. This Fei Cui was really unable to accomplish anything but able to spoil everything.

No matter what had happened today, the image that sheโ€™d used so much effort to maintain was now damaged. It seemed that if she wanted to block everyoneโ€™s mouth, she must heavily punish Fei Cui.

โ€œThird Miss, Fei Cui was wrongโ€ฆโ€ฆ.โ€

Knowing that Murong Xin Lian was angry, Fei Cui stiffly knelt in front of Murong Qi Qi. Although she was dissatisfied, but she had to admit that now sheโ€™s in Murong Qi Qiโ€™s hands.

โ€œAsking Third Miss to forgive this slave!โ€

โ€œFei Cui, knowing that she was wrong, still did that. Punish her with twenty wooden slaps and deprive her of half-year salary. Third little sister, what do you think?โ€

  • In ancient china, while being punished, the guilty one will need to lie down and receive beatings with a thick wooden stick.

Not waiting for Murong Qi Qi to speak, Murong Xin Lian directly said Fei Cuiโ€™s punishment.

Murong Qi Qi looked at this pair of master and servant acting, but she didnโ€™t point it out. Instead, she pleaded: โ€œSecond big sister, isnโ€™t such a punishment too heavy? On Fei Cuiโ€™s body, there are still wounds. Her head is still bleeding. She needs to see a doctor. Moreover, after all, she has followed you for so long. Even if she didnโ€™t make any contributions but she still worked hardโ€ฆโ€ฆI think, punish with ten wooden slaps. The remaining ten wooden slaps, remembering it is enough. As for the salary, one month is enough. Second big sister , what do you think?โ€

Murong Qi Qiโ€™s โ€˜pleaโ€™ was to everyoneโ€™s surprise. They originally thought that Third Miss would not be lenient and would punish Fei Cui heavily. How would they know that she would open her mouth to plea for Fei Cui?

At this time, the image of Third Miss immediately rose in everyoneโ€™s heart. Twenty wooden slaps on a weak girl, even if she was strong enough to accept it, but she would need to lie down for quite a while. And although half a year’s salary was not much, but to servants itโ€™s a big part of their income.

โ€œThird Miss really has a good heart!โ€

โ€œRight ah. Fei Cui framed Third Miss. Third Miss didnโ€™t hold grudges. She really has a good heart!โ€

Murong Qi Qiโ€™s good brought out Murong Xin Lianโ€™s โ€˜viciousnessโ€™. The maid whoโ€™d followed her so long, with just one word would be beaten. A comparison between the two misses, who is good and who is bad, the servants of the mansion now made a new assessment.

โ€œGood, do it according to what little sister has said! When she is back, big sister will surely teach her well!โ€

Now Murong Xin Lian hated Murong Qi Qi to death. The truth was what she said. Now she was also the one who pleaded. Murong Xin Lian struggled for so long, in the end, just because of some sentences from Murong Qi Qi, everyone changed their views and even felt that she, this Second Miss was harsh.

Endure! Endure! Murong Xin Lian restrained the hate in her heart. She revealed a smile: โ€œLittle sister, you must come to admire the moon at the pavilion tonight, ah! See it as big sister’s apology to you. You must give face, ah!โ€

โ€œGood! Thanks big sister, little sister will certainly be on time!โ€

A farce ended with Fei Cui suffering ten wooden slaps.


At Ou Xiang yard, Fei Cui was lying in bed. Sheโ€™d just suffered ten wooden slaps. Even moving a bit would be very painful.

โ€œMiss, this slave, really didnโ€™t say those words. Itโ€™s Third Miss who has framed this slave!โ€

โ€œI believe you…โ€

Murong Xin Lian personally rubbed medicine for Fei Cui.

โ€œDidnโ€™t see her for five years, third little sister had actually improved. Fei Cui, rest assured. This hate of today, I will surely get it back for you! Just wait and see! Tonight, Iโ€™ll let her regret everything she has done today!โ€

Being Murong Xin Lianโ€™s confidante, Fei Cui also knew what she and Zheng Min were planning. Hearing Murong Xin Lian saying that, Fei Cui revealed an ugly smile.

โ€œMiss, what you said is right.  Endure for the time being. After tonight, making it so that she canโ€™t even cry!โ€

โ€œAh…โ€

Fei Cuiโ€™s words obviously made Murong Xin Lian happy.

Murong Qi Qi, you wait! After tonight, your reputation will be ruined! The status of Jing wangfei that you were relying on would be a thing of the past. Only I, Murong Xin Lian, am the best candidate to be Jing wangfei. You donโ€™t deserve it!


Night.

Murong Qi Qi went to the pavilion. The pavilion was located at the west side of the prime minister’s mansion. She didnโ€™t even arrive when she heard a burst of laughter coming from the pavilion. From the noise, Murong Qing Lianโ€™s voice was the loudest: โ€œBig sister Duanmu, is what you said true? Is that demon wang really so dreadful?โ€

  • Wang/wangye: the prince of first rank

โ€œOf course, itโ€™s true. He is cursed and caused the death of his eight wives! I heard that those women had died miserably. They suddenly died on the wedding night and the blood of their bodies had been drained! Everyone said that itโ€™s demon wang who had sucked the blood of the bride. He needs to marry a bride every year to take the fresh blood to maintain his lifeโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

โ€œAh, really frightening, ah!โ€

Hearing this, the young maidens in the pavilion exclaimed.

โ€œDonโ€™t talk about this anymore. Too scary!โ€

At this time, Murong Xin Lian saw Murong Qi Qi. She immediately greeted her warmly: โ€œThird little sister, youโ€™ve arrived. Why donโ€™t you come here?! Come, everyone is waiting for you!โ€

โ€œGreetings to second big sister!โ€

Murong Qi Qi let Murong Xin Lian hold her hands and went into the pavilion.

Aside from Li Yun Qing whom she had already met, the young masters and misses of the four great families were all here. Bai familyโ€™s brother and sister, Bai Mu Fei and Bai Yi Yue, Duanmu familyโ€™s brother and sister, Duanmu Hong Chen and Duanmu Yi Yi and Shangguan familyโ€™s Shangguan Wu Ji. Even Murong household’s only son Murong Jun was here.

It seemed that Murong Xin Lian had a wide range of friends!

During the five years that Murong Qi Qi had been absent, Murong Xin Lian used much effort to befriend the children of the four great families. Who in the capital didnโ€™t know that Murong household’s Second Miss was an outstanding beauty?

At this time, Murong Xin Lian was entertaining everyone as though she was Murong household’s legitimate miss.

โ€œWhy did you call this ugly duckling here?โ€

Murong Jun strongly disapproved of this little sister. The moment he opened his mouth, โ€˜ugly ducklingโ€™ came out.
