Chapter 531: Chapter 531: White Lotus Joins the Fray (1)_1

The little interaction between the two did not catch Jin Lingling and Meng Chunyan’s attention, for they were already being mocked by Xiao Linshuang, "Haha, you don’t even know which family she’s from, and you’re already trying to suck up. How interesting, you two young ladies."

Jin Lingling snorted but, out of concern for the presence of the two "Young Ladies," didn’t want to appear too rude. She only politely "asked" Xiao Linshuang to step aside, "Little girl, since you don’t have money to buy jewelry, don’t block the way here. Come on, go out, take a left, and you’ll see a vendor selling sweet cakes. Just go buy a piece of sweet cake and hurry back home, so your older sister won’t worry about you. Oh right, do you have any silver? It seems you don’t, but here, sister will give you two copper coins, and you can buy yourself a sweet cake."

As she said this, her servant girl Hong Mei really took out two copper coins from her purse and tossed them in front of Xiao Linshuang, smiling disdainfully, clearly implying, "Take it, it’s a reward for you."

Xiao Linshuang looked down at the two copper coins lying on the counter, and if it had been half a year earlier, she surely would have picked them up and happily headed home to her parents. But now, well, she had at least thirty taels of silver in her purse—two mere copper coins were of no concern to her.

"Hehe, thank you for the Reward Silver, sister."

The contempt and disdain in Xiao Linshuang’s tone were obvious, and Jin Lingling could certainly hear it. She laughed coldly, "Oh, the little maid seems a bit resentful, doesn’t she?"

Meng Chunyan also took two copper coins from her Maid and threw them on the table, "You think it’s too little? Here, sister will give you two more."

It’s just two copper coins, hurry up and go, don’t block their conversation with the two Young Ladies.

Xia He and Qiu Ju were completely infuriated by their behavior. Not to mention that Xiao Linshuang was Lin Yuan’s sister, and Lin Yuan might very well become their future Lady. Even if it was just any little girl, they couldn’t stand by and watch her being bullied by others!

Angry, Xia He clenched her teeth, stepped forward, picked up the four copper coins one by one, and then, with a grin that wasn’t quite a smile, said to the two of them, "You two young ladies are really generous. Giving a Maid four copper coins in one go. Since you’ve already given them to her, why not give a little more? How about two taels of silver?"

Jin Lingling and Meng Chunyan thought she was picking up the coins to return them, but instead, she was standing up for the little Maid.

Did they know each other? Impossible, for this little village girl was just that, and these two ladies were clearly not ordinary. Frankly speaking, even compared to Jin Lingling, their manner of speaking was of a higher class.

Meng Chunyan was startled and laughed, "What are you saying, sister? We, we just thought she was pitiful, and we wanted to help her..."

Before Meng Chunyan could finish, Qiu Ju suddenly interrupted with a cold snort, placing the hairpin she had just selected in front of Xiao Linshuang, "Pitiful? May I ask which eye of yours saw my Young Lady being pitiful? Is she without food? Without clothes? Or perhaps, she can’t afford to pay for the jewelry she bought?"

No, no, no, that’s not it. What? What did you just say? Your, Young Lady?"

Now, not only was Meng Chunyan dumbfounded, but even Jin Lingling was as well. How did this little village girl suddenly turn into a Young Lady?

Xia He nodded, lifted her chin, and smiled, "Yes, that’s my Young Lady. What’s the matter, don’t believe it?"

Since Lin Yuan was the future bride of their second young master, calling Xiao Linshuang a Young Lady was far from an overstatement.
