Chapter 1366: Chapter 2 Our Boy Has Grown Up (2)
She swiftly sidestepped and hurriedly pulled her maidservant behind her.
Waving her embroidered handkerchief, Miss Hanmei covered her mouth and giggled mischievously, "Yo! Isn’t this Miss Lei? You’re in such a rush. Where are you off to in such a hurry?"
Miss Lei, who had been hurrying to the county government office, unexpectedly caught sight of the "infamous" Miss Hanmei just as the office came into view. Instantly, bitterness surged in her heart as enemies met.
The two of them traveled south by boat together and met unexpectedly on board. Recognizing Miss Lei, Hanmei couldn’t help but take an extra glance at her.
Although Miss Lei didn’t recognize Miss Hanmei at first, her woman’s intuition made her sense a crisis looming. Miss Hanmei had a reputation, and several passengers on the boat knew her. Once Miss Lei made inquiries, her jealousy flared.
Back in Capital City, when she tried to shake off Su Ke, Miss Lei naturally had her people investigate her. Miss Hanmei was also, of course, among those she had looked into.
That chance meeting aboard the ship ignited a battle between the two women!
Miss Lei’s pursuit was originally for Xue Qian.
However, Miss Hanmei’s simple explanation and continuous provocation fully unleashed Lei Yu’s competitive spirit!
It’s like a cherished toy, one you don’t fancy and discard, perhaps forgetting about it for days or years on end. But the moment someone struggles or competes with you for it, feelings of resentment keep resurfacing persistently.
She remembered she came for Xue Qian, and each time she reminded herself in her heart not to quarrel with Miss Hanmei over such matters.
Yet, each time that despicable courtesan opened her mouth, her chubby maidservant, Ling Ling, would rush to her defense, impatient to accuse the other party.
In the end, she always got sidetracked by the other party.
So much so that her original purpose began to waver.
With relief, Miss Lei disembarked from the boat. Little did she expect that she would run into Miss Hanmei right here.
Indeed, it’s true when they say, "Foes are bound to meet on a narrow road!"
"Mind your own business!"
Sure enough, Ling Ling, Miss Lei’s chubby maidservant, jumped forward again, "With your kind of status, you’re just suited to hide here and sneak peeks. Watch out, don’t let others see you; it’ll be quite an eyesore..."
Miss Hanmei’s smiling face slowly faded, and she lifted her eyes to look at Miss Lei.
"Ling Ling, come back."
Miss Lei glanced at Miss Hanmei, called her chubby maidservant without saying a word, lifted her chin, and turned to leave.
"I’ve said it many times, those lowly women are not worth our attention. Let’s go!"
"Oh... young lady, wait for your servant." Ling Ling paused, flustered, hurriedly catching up.
Miss Hanmei was slightly taken aback, followed by a burst of joyful laughter. She spoke leisurely, "They say—the servants reflect their master. Looking at it now... this statement couldn’t be truer!"
Ling Ling, who had just walked a short distance, instantly got provoked and, unable to care about leaving with her mistress, angrily turned back, fists clenched, looking ready to confront Miss Hanmei.
"You, oh really now! What do you mean by that? Huh! Speak up..."
In her speech, she even pushed Miss Hanmei with her chubby hands.
Unexpectedly, Miss Hanmei let out a cry of surprise and staggered to the ground, drawing the curious glances of nearby pedestrians.
Everyone watched this way, trying to see clearly what had happened.
Changze County had become increasingly simple and honest in recent years, with few instances of bullying the weak on the streets. It was no wonder people were flocking to watch the excitement.
"Young lady! Are you alright, young lady...?"
Miss Hanmei’s maidservant Xiaotian hurried forward to help her mistress up, a look of deep concern on her face.
"Ling Ling, why aren’t you leaving?"
Only then did Lei Yu, who noticed her plump maidservant had not followed, turn back. Although she heard the noisy conversation, the situation over there was blocked by her own plump maidservant’s imposing figure. She peered twice but still couldn’t see what was happening.
As she pondered the oddity, Xiaotian suddenly fell to her knees in front of Lei Yu, crying her heart out.
"Miss Lei, please have mercy and let my mistress live! My mistress was merely passing by, honestly not intending to be in your way. Please show some compassion and forgive my mistress this time!"
"What?"
Lei Yu was completely clueless and didn’t understand what the situation was.
"Xiaotian, don’t talk nonsense."
Miss Hanmei scolded her maidservant before coughing weakly twice, managing a forced smile and leaning on Xiaotian’s hand to get up from the ground, bowing restrainedly to Lei Yu: "Sister Lei, I was at fault this time, in the future... I’ll be more careful..."
Her lips carried a bitter smile, which instantly tilted the scales of reason among the onlookers.
"You, you, you... well done, you despicable whore, you actually, you actually conspired to harm me..."
Lei Yu trembled with rage!
Here we go again, here we go again! That damned Miss Hanmei, always acting like this. Yet, with a simple explanation, she somehow made everyone side with her.
She was furious!
"You’re nothing but a lowly whore, how dare you compare yourself to me? Keep talking like that, and don’t blame me for being rude!"
She had had enough!
As soon as these words were uttered, Ling Ling, her plump maidservant, also became fiercely agitated, rolling up her sleeves as if ready to lunge forward and teach the other a lesson.
"That’s right! I didn’t even touch her, and she fell on her own, yet she has the nerve to talk drivel here. She needs a lesson!"
But before Ling Ling could take any action, the surrounding crowd could not stand it and started jeering!
"Hey! Just look at that figure, that size of yours, and then there’s this young lady, so frail. Isn’t it shameful to bully the weak like this?"
"Relying on a good family background and having a plump maidservant by your side, you act tyrannically and do whatever you please. I wonder what kind of parents could raise such a daughter."
"Maybe, just maybe, she was born with a mother but raised without one, that’s why she’s like this..."
When this comment surfaced, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.
Lei Yu’s face turned white with anger!
Unfortunately, these people had actually hit the nail on the head!
Her birth mother had indeed died early, and she was raised under her father’s tutelage. But Academician Lei was highly learned and respected, and facing such public opinion, Lei Yu so wanted to vomit blood but dared not bring up her father’s name, fearing damage to her father’s reputation. She could only seethe inwardly.
"Pitiful, all of you are being used by her!"
Lei Yu struggled one last time: "If only she were as weak as she appears. But do you all know who this young lady is? She is the renowned Miss Hanmei, whose fame outshines the Capital City. Does such a woman deserve your help?"
