Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
In the blink of an eye, it was the day to go to the Changting Hou Mansion for a banquet. Early in the morning, a servant from the Yu Mansion pa.s.sed on Mu Shi’s words: “The lady said that a carriage has been arranged for the Fourth lady. Please go there as soon as possible.”
After all, Yu Linglong’s going out represented the face of the Yu house. Even if Mu Shi was reluctant, she still had to do enough for the sake of their reputation.
Xuan Cao and Ling’er both tormented Yu Linglong all morning and finally dressed her up. Yu Linglong looked at her reflection in the mirror. She saw herself with her long hair falling like a waterfall, eyebrows like faint smoke, a beautiful nose, reddish cheeks, two-petaled cherry lips, a white smiley face crystal clear as jade, and smooth skin like ice and snow, reflecting a pair of cold eyes, glowing like bright and brilliant stars.
Even Ling’er, who has been silent for a few days, couldn’t help but exclaim: “Miss is really an outstanding beauty.”
Yu Linglong got up, and the rose-red satin robe embroidered with gold thread slowly unfolded on her body, adding a bit of n.o.ble temperament to the face that had just faded from childishness the was impossible to look away from.
Xuan Cao had been busy all morning, but at the moment she was full of excitement: “Miss, it’s almost time. Let’s go.”
Yu Linglong helped place the gilded magpie bead flower on her head. She was not used to it. Such a complicated dress and jewelry were really c.u.mbersome.
After adjusting her sleeves, Yu Linglong sighed, “Let’s go.”
Since she wanted to live a good life in ancient times, but she still had to work hard to get used to some things.
After going out of the second door, she saw a group of maids standing outside. Seeing Yu Linglong coming out, one knelt down and said respectfully, “I’m Baoliang’s girl, I pay my respects to the fourth lady.”
Yu Linglong was a little puzzled. Xuan Cao hurriedly whispered in her ear: “These are all arranged by the lady of the house for you, to accompany the people who go out.”
Yu Linglong smiled slightly. It seemed that Mu Shi was finally starting to take a serious look at herself now. The pomp that these big ladies have has been properly arranged for Yu Linglong.
“Get up everyone,” Yu Linglong said faintly with her lips opening slightly.
Baoliang’s girl and the others stood up, but they all lowered their heads in awe. They didn’t even dare to take a look at the incomparable Fourth Lady who beat her father and scolded her mother in the legend, for fear that they would accidentally annoy the master and be unlucky.
Yu Linglong went straight out. Everyone hurriedly followed in a group of more than a dozen people, but all of them did not even dare to gasp.
When they reached the gate, there was a green carriage parked at the door. Xuan Cao gave Baoliang’s girl her bag, and stepped forward and helped Yu Linglong to get into the car: “Miss, slow down.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Yu Linglong lifted her skirt and slowly got into the car. She seemed to have never had this feeling of being held for a long time.
Looking back at the gate of General Yu’s Mansion, Yu Linglong sneered slightly and entered the carriage.
The coachman whispered and drove outside. Xuan Cao sat next to him with her baggage in her arms, with a look of expectation with some anxiety: “Miss, is Changting Hou Mansion very big? Will Madam Hou be fierce?”
Yu Linglong couldn’t help but chuckle: “Are you scared?”
Xuan Cao shook her head desperately: “Don’t be afraid! I will be with you, don’t be afraid of anything!”
What are you afraid of? This lady is very powerful!
Yu Linglong nodded, stopped talking, and closed her eyes to refresh herself.
Up until now, she still hadn’t figured out why this Madam Changting Hou would only invite her. She ordered Xuan Cao and Ma Changgeng and those who had seen the outside world to ask around. Changting Hou’s house and General Yu’s house didn’t have close dealings, and they were probably just acquaintances. Why would such a family suddenly invite her over?
Without knowing it, they arrived at Changting Hou Mansion.
Baoliang’s girl walked to the door and said cautiously: “Reporting for the Fourth Lady, we are here.”
As soon as Yu Linglong got off the carriage, she heard an arrogant voice: “Whose carriage is this? It’s in the way of our princess! And it’s in no hurry to leave!”
Before the coachman from the Yu Mansion could answer, a few people that looked like rude women came over, pushing Baoliang’s girl and shouting impatiently: “Are you deaf? Get out of the way now!”
Seeing this, Xuan Cao jumped out of the car and said, “What are you doing? Didn’t you see our lady just got out of the car?”
“Miss?” The arrogant voice just sneered, and seeing a long and tall maid approaching, her eyes looked up and down Yu Linglong impolitely, “Which young lady is this?”
Xuan Cao flushed with anger and said stiffly: “This is the Fourth Lady from General Yu’s Mansion!”
The maid disdainfully shifted her gaze: “Fourth Lady Yu? Never heard of her!”
Yu Linglong narrowed her eyes slightly. Whose maid was this? This was really amazing! Just looking at the maid, she knew that her mistress was not easy to deal with.
She heard the maid shout: “You are in the way of our princess! Go away! Or we will tear down your car!”
“Oh?” Yu Linglong, who hadn’t made a sound for a long time, smiled and walked forward, “You can try!”
The maid was forced by Yu Linglong’s fierce momentum to stop her speech, but she recovered. Her mouth was reluctant to subdue at all: “Young lady, I advise you not to waste our time. You have delayed our princess. I’m afraid you can’t afford it!”
Before she finished her words, the maid had a slap in the face that was as fast as lightning!
“You—” The maid covered her face subconsciously, and her gaze at Yu Linglong was filled with surprise.
She probably did not expect that this little-known Fourth Lady Yu would dare to beat her!
“Has your mistress taught you what politeness is?” Yu Linglong narrowed her eyes coldly, not even looking at the curtain that was raised behind the maid, “Then go back and learn the rules before coming out!”
The arrogant maid was dumbfounded, and she couldn’t speak for a while.
Yu Linglong turned around, and as soon as she was about to go up the steps with Xuan Cao, she heard a cold voice: “How dare you beat my maid, you are so bold!”
Yu Linglong paused, then looked back slowly. Her beautiful eyes drifted, looking at the woman who had just got out of the car.
The young woman wore a silver-red and bright gold-engraved crab claw chrysanthemum palace dress with a high Ruyi bun on her head. The whole set of red gold gave her face with bright eyes and bright teeth a bit of savageness.
However, this girl was only thirteen or fourteen. Her eyes were full of hostility, and she looked directly at Yu Linglong.
Seeing that the mistress had appeared, the beaten maid immediately regained her publicity: “This is our Princess Xinlin, don’t hesitate to greet her!”
Yu Linglong glanced at this Princess Xinlin who was half a head shorter than herself, and a trace of impatience pa.s.sed between her beautiful eyebrows.
