âOh⊠Then⊠This is for you.â After she finished, Qian DuoDuo passed the little twig in her hand to Xiao Ruo, letting Xiao Ruo deliver it to Han XiangXueâs hand. Han XiangXue took that twig and examined it, not understanding what kind of trick Qian DuoDuo was playing. Qian DuoDuo fought a yawn and lazily said, âMeimei, Ben WangFei is tired and donât have time to chat with you⊠If youâre really bored, just take that twig, crouch at some corner, and have fun beating the mud.â
âYouâŠâ Han XiangXue had never once thought that Qian DuoDuo would be a master at acting like a pig to eat a tiger. It had been about two years since she entered the wangfu, and WangYe had been extremely doting towards her. Except for Zhu SiSi, no one had ever dared to swagger in front of her in this place. But right now, she was actually continuously ridiculed in front of her own maid by an abandoned woman. Her expression became extremely embarrassed in an instant.
She gnashed her teeth and sprang up from her chair. Disregarding their status, she sternly said, âQian DuoDuo, do you really think youâre San WangFei? Iâm telling you, youâre only a woman who was abandoned by WangYe on her wedding night! Ning Hui Yuan is your cold palace! Iâm going to tell you the truth, WangYe will marry Zhu SiSi soon. At that time, you wonât even deserve to carry my shoes!â
Marry Zhu SiSiâŠ? Okay⊠Okay⊠Then wouldnât that certify that she can completely shed this âfake WangFei identityâ?
Qian DuoDuo was chuckling inside. But that didnât mean she would silently endure this frivolous womanâs provocation. People said, one would toll the bell as long as one met a monk[1]; one would arrange the music as long as one was a WangFeiâŠ
She leaned her body around to find a comfortable posture before casting a sidelong glance at Han XiangXue. Neither too quickly nor too slowly, she said, âWhat Meimei said is right. I am an unlikeable woman, an abandoned Fei who lives in the cold palace. Sooner or later, WangYe will divorce me⊠But Meimei shouldnât forget, at this moment it seems I am still the San WangFei conferred by TaiHou. For Meimei to make a big fuss like this⊠Do you perhaps have any complaints towards TaiHou?â
âI donât⊠Donât speak nonsense!â Han XiangXueâs complexion turned pale out of fright.
âI think so too⊠How would Meimei dare? After all, this is a very heavy crime that could exterminate nine clansâŠâ Qian DuoDuoâs last words seemed casual but held a formidable might. It didnât need to be mentioned how satisfied she was when she saw the woman in front of her turn pale because of her speech. Qian DuoDuo paused for a moment. Her tone suddenly changed as she reprimanded Xiao Ruo, âXiao Ruo, youâre also wrong! XiangXue Meimei came to my place, and her lips were all dry but you didnât realize to offer her a cup of tea! Really thoughtless!â
Xiao Ruo nodded and went to fetch a cup of tea, putting it at Han XiangXueâs side.
Han XiangXue was rigidly raising the teacup when Qian DuoDuo suddenly called out, âWait!â
She leisurely walked over towards Han XiangXue then stooped down and swiped her finger across the dust on the ground, sprinkling the dust on her finger into the cup. Han XiangXueâs face instantly turned green before it turned purple and kept turning alternately. Qian DuoDuo giggled and said, âBefore, Meimei said thereâs nothing good at my place, but you were wrong. Take a look at the seasoning Iâve just added for you⊠Itâs pure green and free of pollution, the convergence of the worldâs spiritual air, the essence of both the sun and the moon! It would definitely make Meimeiâs tiny waist become supple and slender after you drink it.â
These words are really the truth⊠Drinking one cup would make you have diarrhea until you have a slender and supple waistâŠ
Han XiangXueâs delicate cheeks were twitching out of fury while her eyes seemed to be emitting fire. However, she didnât dare to argue rudely like before. She held the teacup, unsure about what should be done. Drinking it wouldnât do, but putting it down also wouldnât do.
