Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 353 - Three Hundred Fifty-One

Chapter 353: Chapter Three Hundred Fifty-One

Mrs. Liu quickly helped the old woman, placing the stick she held in her hands in front of an elderly monk while ignoring the two individuals beside her. She spoke, "Old lady, it’s your turn now. The master is waiting for you."

The old monk was about to pick up the stick on the table.

The hand of the maid was then pressing it down.

"Hey, old hag! Didn’t you hear what I said? My mistress is of high status. If she gets sunburnt, it’s not something you can afford. Move aside now."

"Master, please interpret the divination stick for my mistress!" The maid spoke politely to the old monk.

"Amitabha! Benefactor, in my eyes all beings are equal. Please go to the back of the line and do not trouble this old benefactor!" The old monk calmly persuaded her.

"Old hag, are you willing to give up your spot for my mistress?" The maid turned her head, glaring wickedly at the old woman.

The old woman didn’t dare to offend these rich young ladies. She picked up her stick, and said to Mrs. Liu:

"Madam, I appreciate your kindness but seeing that this lady is of high status, I’d rather rejoin the queue."

In the Imperial Capital where nobles abound, she dare not offend anyone in the queue! She would rather rejoin the line at the back. Otherwise, her old bones might not survive the ordeal.

"Master, you heard it. She willingly gave up her place." The maid spoke again to the old monk.

"Amitabha!"

What kind of people are they! Mrs. Ruan, now angered, held onto the old woman, "Old woman, don’t leave! There are many privileged people in the Imperial City! I have never heard of any noble lady leaving her house and being so shameful!"

"Who do you say is shameful? How dare you insult my mistress! This is outrageous! Do you know who my mistress is? Do you know who you’re insulting?"

"Xiao Mei, slap her!" The master behind the maid spoke coldly.

"Yes, Miss." Upon hearing those words, the maid then attempted to slap Mrs. Ruan.

"Yang Liu!" Xiao’er uttered coldly.

Yang Liu, stepping forward, kicked the maid and sent her flying.

Those trained by Shangguan Xuanyi were all fierce fighters.

"This is outrageous! Do you know who I am, daring to hit my maid!" The white-cloaked lady uncovered her veil, revealing her ordinary face.

"So what if we did?" Yang Liu cast a scornful glance at her.

There was no one in Minze Country, her master dared not to offend. If they had hit her, so be it!

"I knew it, I knew why she’s so shameful. It’s because she’s too ugly." Mrs. Ruan began to tease her more heartily.

In the affluent circle of the capital, she had no impression who had a daughter, as bland as her.

"You dare!"

Xiao’er, supporting the old woman, went back to the old monk and handed him the old woman’s stick, "Master, please interpret this stick for this old lady. There are many people waiting behind."

The old monk nodded, took the stick, "Amitabha, good indeed, good indeed."

"Old benefactor, your fortune is excellent. Whatever you wish for will surely be granted." The old monk took out the corresponding parchment, handed it to her, and began to explain.

Upon knowing that her fortune was excellent, the old woman was extremely delighted, thanking both Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Ruan before leaving.

Mrs. Liu then handed her stick to the old monk. She drew an excellent fortune as well. After that, Mrs. Ruan handed her own stick to the master.

"Xiao Mei, go call Mr. Zhao over! Today, I want these people to have a taste of retribution."

Upon getting up, the maid’s master became even furious at seeing these people ignoring her!

"Yes, Miss, I’m on my way." Xiao Mei shot a venomous glance at several people.

When Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Ruan were about to leave after having their fortunes read.

Maid Xiao Mei brought Zhao Youwei over.

There were several soldiers following behind Zhao Youwei.

"Mr. Zhao, it’s these women that bullied my mistress!" The maid pointed at Mrs. Liu and the others with an air of certainty about your doom.

"Mr. Zhao." The veiled lady saw Zhao Youwei coming and quickly called out with a tone full of grievances.

"Mr. Zhao, long time no see." Xiao’er also greeted with a smile.

"Countess of Rui’an, Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Ruan," Seeing familiar faces, Zhao Youwei quickly paid his respects.

The veiled lady, noting Zhao Youwei’s politeness towards them, began to speculate their identities.

Wait, Countess of Rui’an? Isn’t she the wife of the Sixth Prince?

She had just arrived in the Imperial Capital and couldn’t afford to offend her future sister-in-law.

What if she complains about her, in front of the Empress Dowager?

Upon this thought, the veiled lady immediately raised a full smiling face: "So it’s my sister in-law? It was a misunderstanding. I have been rude just now, forgive me."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was left shocked!

Xiao’er looked at the sky, wondering where this absurd person had emerged from!

Zhao Youwei was also taken aback. Seeing Mrs. Ruan and Mrs. Liu turn to him, he coughed before he spoke, "This is Miss Lan Yue, the daughter of the county magistrate of Jihe County."

Everyone nodded, continuing to gaze at Zhao Youwei.

She was just the daughter of a small county magistrate. Coming to the Imperial Capital, a city filled with nobles, and acting so arrogantly. Something wasn’t right!

"She has been chosen by the Empress Dowager as the fiancée of the First Prince!" Zhao Youwei felt embarrassed for knowing this lady.

No, she isn’t his wife, why should he feel embarrassed!

Xiao’er and the others shared a look:

Oh~~ So, she is the fiancée of First Prince! Ah! Ah!

No wonder!

Since others had already shown her face with a smile, Xiao’er, of course, wouldn’t retort with harsh words. So, Xiao’er raised a fake smile - as fake as it could be:

"So you’re the future fiancée of the First Prince! I’ve heard so much about you. The Empress Dowager indeed has a discerning eye. Miss Lan Yue and the First Prince are indeed a match made by heaven, and arranged by earth! Such a perfect match, indeed it’s perfect!" Xiao’er praised with a smile.

Xiao’er felt that since coming to ancient times and becoming a child, she had mastered the skill of being pleasing to both humans and ghosts!

"Really? Sister, you’re really good at flattering, you’re making me shy." Lan Yue rubbed her handkerchief and looked shyly at Xiao’er.

Xiao’er felt like she was being burned all over again.

Zhao Youwei felt that if he continued to listen to the two of them, he wouldn’t be able to hold back his disgust. So, he swiftly changed the topic, "Just now Lan Yue’s maid said that Lan Yue was being bullied. What exactly happened?"

"It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I’m used to my weak body, and I can’t stand for too long, so I thought about asking someone to spare me a spot, so I could get my fortune read quicker. That’s why I asked Xiao Mei to invite you, Mr. Zhao."

So she wanted to cut in line! Zhao Youwei thought contemptuously but maintained his composure, "Miss Lan Yue, you have a frail physique, so you could just let your maid line up for you. Buddhism advocates equality among all beings. Although I’m in charge of security here, I cannot meddle with the affairs of Xiangguo Temple."

"Is that so, I didn’t know that just now. But now that I see the mother of Countess of Rui’an queuing up personally, I understand. The madams are really devout!"

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Ruan, after hearing this, forced a smile, more unpleasant than crying.
