Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 527 - 525

Chapter 527: Chapter 525

Xiao’er looked at Shangguan Xuanyi, and he gave her a reassuring smile: Don’t worry, I’m not one to be easily schemed against.

Xiao’er returned him with a smile.

"How come there are beads on the ground?" Shangguan Ruixi asked with a furrowed brow.

"This servant does not know," the maid replied with her head lowered.

She was on the verge of tears; if she had known there were beads on the ground, she would not have stepped on them.

"Did anyone pick up the beads from the ground? Let’s see who they belong to!" Shangguan Ruixi asked. He didn’t believe this was an accident!

Shangguan Ruixi looked at Shangguan Xuanyi, who kept a poker face. Who was behind this, and who was the target was still unknown.

Ahem... Young Master Fang’s rotund face and large ears didn’t seem like something anyone in their right mind would want to scheme against.

Besides, he had heard that Fang Rong actually had capabilities. However, he already had three concubines, and even more maids. Thus, even though he was almost in his twenties, there was not a single woman who was willing to marry him.

The beads were picked up. They were jade beads of good quality, certainly not something a maid would wear.

"Whose bracelet broke? Or does anyone recognize the owner of this jade bracelet?"

Xiao’er stepped forward and took a look at the familiar jade beads. "These jade bracelets are sold at Pohli Jewelry, there are only two strands in total. If I remember correctly, one was bought by the wife of the Minister of Works, and the other was bought by Mrs. Chu."

None of the people from the Minister of Works’ Mansion came today, so that means this bracelet is Chu Die’s.

"Miss Chu, why didn’t you have your maids pick up your bracelet when it fell?" Shangguan Wanru was irritated at the sight of the sobbing figure.

If you’ve made a mistake, what’s there to cry about?!

"I was in a hurry to change my dirty clothes, and I didn’t notice that the bracelet had broken." Chu Die regretted it so much in her heart!

She had predicted that a maid would bring food and tea into the garden, and that the big show was about to start. The Sixth Prince would definitely return to the garden.

She handed the jade bead chain to her own maid, telling her to seize the opportunity in the garden.

If a maid from the Wang Mansion carrying food happened to pass by the Sixth Prince, her maid would scatter the jade beads on the ground. The maid would accidentally fall, spilling food on the Sixth Prince, who would then have to change clothes.

She undressed in the room, waited for a long time, and finally heard the door open!

She tried to suppress her joy, and tried to put on a look of terror. The moment she turned around, she didn’t need to act, she was truly terrified and screamed again and again.

She didn’t expect the Sixth Prince to be with Fang Rong! And she couldn’t have expected that the Sixth Prince’s clothes would remain clean, with all the wine spilled on that bloated pig, Fang Rong!

Thinking about Fang Rong - round, fat-headed and lascivious - her tears uncontrollably fell.

Everyone thought: Could this be a drama directed and acted solely by Chu Die?

But if you think about it, it didn’t make sense. Who would stake their reputation to scheme against someone like Master Fang Rong?

Compared to Chu Die’s fiance, Fang Rong’s loss was simply too pitiful to watch!

Once again, everyone looking at Chu Die, crying so miserably, she didn’t seem to be faking it!

Such a pitiful girl.

Fu Ranhui didn’t forget that Fang Rong was walking with Shangguan Xuanyi at the time. She suspects that it served him right for being fickle-minded and promiscuous after his engagement. "Hmph! He reap what he sowed!"

Although Fang Rong was a playboy, he was not stupid. He knew he was an innocent victim in this incident.

However, having seen Chu Die’s body, he knew that he had to take responsibility for this. "Miss Chu, please accept my condolences! Rest assured, I will send someone to propose marriage."

"Whoo..." On hearing these words, Chu Die cried even harder.

Mourn? Xiao’er almost broke into laughter, she quickly lowered her head, afraid of being found out.

It seems this Mr. Fang is quite aware after all!

Chu Die’s future life should be very interesting!

Although Fang Rong’s appearance is average, more like nicely put, he’s very capable. If Chu Die can win his heart, she can still have a good life in the future, depending on how she makes do.

Fu Ranhui had to pinch her own thigh to stop from laughing.

Shangguan Wanru directly said softly, "They brought it upon themselves."

Later, Chu Die’s marriage was successfully called off as she wished!

That family even set off firecrackers in the morning and fireworks at night to celebrate.

Mrs. Chu was so angry that she fell ill in bed.

She was absolutely frustrated! A perfectly good, talented young man she wouldn’t marry, insisted on making this shameful fuss, and chose to marry a man that hardly any noblewoman in the Imperial Capital would want to marry!

She didn’t die of anger, but fell ill due to her strong heart!

Enbo Mansion quickly sent people to propose marriage, Chu Die fainted in her room from crying.

Even worse, Shangguan Wanru and Xiao’er went straight to the Rare Treasure Pavilion and bought the painting from Master Shi. They let the shopkeeper go to the Chu family to get the silver.

"Manager Song, this painting was promised by Miss Chu to the princess, but she’s too busy with her marriage and doesn’t have time to come over and buy it. We’re also worried that the painting might be bought by someone else. In that case, Miss Chu would be known as a liar. So, thinking about Miss Chu’s reputation, we can only come over and take the painting ourselves," Xiao’er explained with a smile.

Shangguan Wanru added insult to injury, saying, "Manager Song, Master Shi’s masterpiece shouldn’t be cheap. Miss Chu is a rich young lady. Hmm, and remember to tell Miss Chu exactly what we said!"

Manager Song: Where did Miss Chu offend these two powerful figures?

Manager Song quickly ordered his clerk to wrap up the painting, he had to get them out of the store as soon as possible.

These two young ladies are simply too much to handle.

The gates of the Wang Mansion and Marquis Shengping’s Mansion are open for all to see. Manager Song knows exactly where the door of the Chu Mansion is. He’s not worried about not being able to collect the money for the painting at all.

As soon as Shangguan Wanru and Xiao’er left the Rare Treasure Pavilion, Shangguan Wanru finally couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Finally, I’ve gotten some satisfaction," Shangguan Wanru said, feeling pleased.

"I know right," Xiao’er nodded.

When the accounting room of the Rare Treasure Pavilion came to collect the silver, Mrs. Chu, who had just been able to get out of bed, fainted again because of the huge bill.

When Chu Die’s sister-in-law learned about it, her face turned white then black, then black then white.

This life is simply unbearable!

Mrs. Chu originally prepared so much dowry for Chu Die to her dissatisfaction, now she had spent a fortune buying a painting to give to the princess as a birthday present!

Why didn’t she just sell herself too!

Chu Die’s sister-in-law was looking down her nose at everything every day, and Mrs. Chu was helpless, only to cut Chu Die’s dowry again and again. Chu Die, who was in a very bad mood, fought with her. The dowry is the foundation for a girl to settle down in her husband’s family. She’s already unsatisfied with the marriage, and if the dowry is reduced further, she’d rather not get married at all!

The family style of Chu family became the favorite topic of discussion in the Imperial City after meals.

This time, Chu Die really came off worst, losing both her reputation and her troops!

Chu Die’s hatred for Xiao’er intensified.
