Chapter 1180: 089 Stunning (eight updates)

It was only then that Xiao He realized that Lin Wei and Xiao Linshuang had intentionally fallen into the trap set by Guo Mei and Cheng Yuexiu. She couldn’t help but step forward and speak a few words to Lin Wei, as she had been worried for quite some time!

Lin Wei giggled, pulling Xiao He’s hand and coaxing her with endearing sisterly terms, which made Lin Yuan laugh.

Xiao Linshuang was one thing, but today, Lin Wei truly impressed her. When had her seemingly fragile sister grown so bold as to stand up for her? It seemed that Lin Yuan’s previous worries about Lin Wei’s stage fright at the contest were indeed an overreaction.

After giving a few more instructions to her sisters, Lin Yuan prepared to leave for the banquet.

Just then, the voices of Cheng Yuexiu and Guo Mei inviting them over coincidentally sounded from outside.

Hearing the two clearly reluctant yet compelled to submit, Xiao Linshuang couldn’t help laughing unkindly. However, upon receiving a look from Lin Yuan, she stuck out her tongue and dared not laugh further, tentatively asking, "Should I tell them not to serve me later? Just say that my hand is healed?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan shook her head and raised her eyebrows, "Although you walked into this situation voluntarily today, they were still harboring malicious intentions. It’s only right to teach them a lesson to prevent the Capital city’s young ladies from looking down on us, thinking we are country bumpkins easily bullied!"

"Exactly, we are not to be bullied!" Seeing that Lin Yuan had no intention of forgiving Cheng Yuexiu and the others, Xiao Linshuang nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Lin Yuan shook her head speechlessly, knowing well that this young girl was ruthless in her actions. Cheng Yuexiu and Guo Mei indeed had it coming for trying to offend Little Demon.

Although they had changed their clothes, Cheng Yuexiu and Guo Mei looked no different from before. If anything, the clean clothes only made their poor appearance even more noticeable.

Generally, young ladies would carry a spare dress when going out to a banquet, to be prepared for any emergencies. However, it was rarely needed, and thus, these spare dresses were not as glamorous as the ones they were wearing.

Just like the current situation with Cheng Yuexiu and Guo Mei.

Cheng Yuexiu, having recently arrived in the Capital city with her father, had very little personal money. Naturally, she couldn’t afford to procure two beautiful and fashionable dresses at once. Therefore, the dress she was currently wearing was one from the New Year, and although not everyone was particular, new dresses were typically arranged for banquets, making Cheng Yuexiu’s old dress seem quite out of place.

As for Guo Mei, although she didn’t wear an old dress, the one she was wearing now was significantly inferior to the one she had on before. The design and style were trendy, but the fabric and tailoring were somewhat substandard. After all, not everyone could afford dresses from the Red Smoke Pavilion.

Thus, after changing their clothes, both had somewhat of a schadenfreude mentality, assuming that the dresses the Lin family sisters brought were either old or mediocre. If theirs were such, then surely, those of the Lin family sisters weren’t much better.

Cheng Yuexiu even recalled the first time she saw the Lin family sisters at Drunken Immortal Tower, a sneer forming on her lips, as she awaited the emergence of the sisters in what she assumed would be rustic attire.

However, when the door opened and the two stretched their necks to look inside, they almost choked on their saliva in shock.

Where were the shabby clothes of country folk? The dresses worn by Lin Wei and Xiao Linshuang were evidently prettier and more splendid than the ones they had worn before. Even the dress Xiao He changed into was the same. Just now, during the quarrel, Xiao He’s dress had gotten somewhat creased. She hadn’t planned on changing it, but Lin Yuan had insisted she do so.

As soon as Lin Yuan stepped outside, she saw the two, their mouths agape as if they could fit an entire egg, and she couldn’t help but laugh.

Looking at their disappointed expressions, they must have thought that the only presentable clothes they had were the ones they were wearing, right?

With a turn of her eyes, Lin Yuan turned back to Du Ruo, who was holding the dirty clothes, and said, "Your miss’s clothes are all torn, don’t forget to burn them when you get back."

Upon hearing the word "burn," Cheng Yuexiu and Guo Mei’s mouths dropped even wider, if they hadn’t seen it wrong, those clothes that were changed out were all from the Red Smoke Pavilion, to be burned just like that?

Was that burning clothes? That was burning money!

No wonder Lin Yuan had been able to proclaim shamelessly that she would compensate every person present with a set of headwear; looking at it now, where was that shamelessness or empty claims? It was merely a trifle!

Cheng Yuexiu even heard a little voice in her heart cursing her fiercely. If only she had not judged by appearances and offended the Lin Yuan Sisters, she could now be clinging tightly to their generous and influential thighs!

With intense astonishment and jealousy, Cheng Yuexiu and Guo Mei served Xiao Linshuang even more diligently, neither of them fools. Despite the young girl being the smallest, her resolutions were the largest. If they did not serve her well, they wouldn’t have good days ahead.

When they returned to the dining hall, the food had indeed been served, but for some reason, no one had started eating yet, almost as if they were waiting for them.

Upon seeing the new outfits on Lin Wei, Xiao He, and Xiao Linshuang, many of the young ladies were surprised, pointing and whispering among themselves.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly; it seemed these people were all waiting to see their jokes!

"Miss Lin, you’ve arrived?" Yao Hanai also sounded somewhat disappointed, yet she still smiled as she directed the maid to lead them to their seats.

As a straightforward person, Yao Zhilan immediately widened her eyes when she saw their clothes and asked, "Miss Lin, are you wearing the flowing light brocade from the Chen family of Jiangnan? I heard that fabric is quite sought after in the Capital City. Many people wish to buy it but can’t!"

Just as Yao Zhilan had said, they were indeed wearing dresses made of flowing light brocade sent by Princess Anle. Ever since the Chen family of Jiangnan showcased this brocade at the Imperial Merchant competition, they had won the favor of many officials in the Capital City. Unfortunately, all the ready stock had been bought by Princess Anle, and the rest was used by the Chen family to decorate their newly opened shops.

As soon as Yao Zhilan mentioned the words "flowing light brocade," numerous Young Ladies who had not had the chance to see it before now craned their necks and stared hard at the trio, almost wishing they could take their eyes out and stick them onto the fabric.

Lin Wei, increasingly interested in these reactions, smiled and nodded affirmatively, "Miss Yao the Second has good eyesight; it indeed is the flowing light brocade from the Chen family of Jiangnan."

While speaking, the sisters followed the maid’s lead to their seats.

And the others who heard the confirmation were even more eagerly discussing it, with Lin Yuan’s neighbors so eager they could hardly resist reaching out to touch the fabric.
