Chapter 583: Chapter 296: Joyful Event_2

She hadn’t left the estate to get some fresh air for quite a while and was extremely excited. She declined Qian Hua’s offer to accompany her and went to the Liancourt Boutique with Zi Zhu and Bai Zhu.

Despite the overcast sky and light snowfall, business was booming. With the year coming to a close, there were many families arranging weddings, and the most profitable personalized gift boxes of cosmetics were selling very well.

She inspected every floor from the first to the third and was about to head downstairs when she ran into Young Master Huang Jinyu, the little tyrant.

Huang Jinyu was dressed flamboyantly in a long robe made of red brocade with raised floral designs, draped in a skylark fur coat, his head crowned with a Purple Gold Crown. Though standing with a certain poise, he was insufferable once he opened his mouth.

Upon seeing Qian Yixiu, Huang Jinyu went over, blocked her path with his hand, and said, "Girl, you don’t even greet this young master when you see him?"

Qian Yixiu loathed the bratty boy, but she didn’t want to stir up unnecessary trouble either. She said, "I am not familiar with you," and tried to walk past him.

Huang Jinyu took a couple of steps to block her again and said with a chuckle, "Cousin Qian, don’t be mad. I was just joking with you last time. How about I treat you to a meal to make amends?"

Is something wrong with his head? Qian Yixiu glanced at him and attempted to leave again.

Huang Jinyu quickly explained, "It’s not like it’s just the two of us alone, I can have someone fetch my sister to join us, is that okay? ... Not okay? Then I’ll visit your place, or you can come to mine. As relatives, it’s common to drop in on each other. My great-grandma even said she’ll invite Cousin Qian over to our home one of these days."

Huang Jinyu’s boy servant Qing Ming hurried forward to advise, "Oh dear, young master, it’s improper to detain the lady like this. If someone reports this to the estate, you’ll be reprimanded, and I’ll end up taking a beating too."

Huang Jinyu kicked Qing Ming and scolded, "Go, go, I’m having a good talk with Cousin Qian, I haven’t bullied her, why would she go to the estate to complain?"

Qian Yixiu said with a stern face, "Young Master Huang, by blocking me and preventing me from leaving, isn’t that bullying?"

Just as Huang Jinyu was about to speak, a flash of red appeared, and a monkey stood before him. It was Monkey Sister, who had been playing with the children downstairs.

Huang Jinyu, somewhat afraid of the monkey, stepped back and laughed, "Cousin Qian, is this the particularly formidable monkey mentioned by your uncle? Tsk tsk, indeed has great skills and even looks more handsome than other monkeys."

Qian Yixiu ignored him and walked away, pulling Monkey Sister along. Huang Jinyu, wary of the monkey, didn’t dare follow and called out loudly from behind her, "Cousin, bring the monkey to visit my home someday; my great-grandma has a curly-haired pug that is extremely cute and understands humans."

Luo Susu, who was on her way upstairs, heard this comment.

Luo Susu, now constantly drilled in etiquette by the nanny sent from the palace, was so tormented she had grown considerably thinner. She claimed she was there to buy rouge and face powder for the New Year’s celebration, and only after Eldest Princess Fengyang put in good words for her did the nanny agree to let her leave home with several handmaids.

Seeing Qian Yixiu, her eyes blazed with fury. She stormed over and said, "You really can’t stand loneliness, can you? You haven’t settled the score with that one man, yet today, under broad daylight, you’re hooking up with Cousin Huang and inviting yourself to his house. Have you no shame?" Already enraged at being disciplined by the palace nanny and at Eldest Princess Fengyang’s public reprimand by the Empress Dowager, she was even more aggrieved hearing Huang Jinyu’s words, and blurted out without thinking.

Qian Yixiu was furious, this was blatant slander. She said sternly, "You have lecherous thoughts, obsessed with men, yet you assume everyone is as indecent as you. I warn you, if you dare to speak filth to me again, I can ensure you’ll be picking up your teeth from the floor. Just this morning, the Empress Dowager herself told me that I am her direct granddaughter, with no reason to be bullied by anyone. We are only to bully others, not the other way around. If you dare to spout nonsense again, just try me."

Luo Susu was livid, but the threat in Qian Yixiu’s words did frightened her somewhat. Although her own grandmother was an Elder Princess, Qian Yixiu’s grandmother was the legitimate Elder Princess, the blood daughter of the Empress Dowager.

Yet she couldn’t swallow her anger and pointed at her own handmaids, barking orders, "You useless girls, does your mistress have to deal with this personally?" She figured if a fight ensued, she could just blame her handmaids for being overzealous in defending her, and let them take the fall.

Although the handmaids were scared, they had no choice but to obey their mistress’s command and rushed at Qian Yixiu. Qian Yixiu stepped back, and as a flash of red streaked by, all three handmaids fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
