The Methods of Refining Pills [17]
In the end, Xiao Yun had inherited Concubine Xue’s[1] way of thinking. Taking a deep breath, all the jealousy and anger were harshly suppressed down.
“Third sister, I was too cold before. Maybe I had accidentally pushed you. It wasn’t intentional.”
Huang Bei Yue leaned on Dong Ling’s embrace. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile. Indeed she is Xiao Yun. She is able to easily suppress her anger, this way it would be fun to challenge her.
Dong Ling sniffed her nose. She raised her two tear-filled eyes to take a look at Xiao Yun. Then with panic, she lowered her head with choking sobs she said: “Yes, the second young miss didn’t do that intentionally.”
Everyone understood the grievances and fear within her voice.
Huang Bei Yue almost laughed out loud. Dong Ling is really quick-witted and crafty! Once she seized an opportunity, she’ll harshly hit them. She didn’t even give Xiao Yun any ability to turn the situation around.
And within her voice, there was no criticism at all. Her tone showed that she was timid and wronged. The people around them were all people invited by Xiao Yao Wang. They are very able people who lived in seclusion.
Dong Ling was able to understand the situation quickly and took advantage of the surrounding situation. She had twisted the greatest benefits for herself, smart!
“There is this saying that blood is thicker than water. However, to have this kind of sister, she is sure unlucky.”
It wasn’t known who had said that but Xiao Yao Wang’s expression had turned worse. He coldly said: “Is the boat ready?”
“Replying to Wangye, the boat is ready.” A servant had said as he rushed over.
Xiao Yao Wang was too lazy to even look at Xiao Yun. He waved his hand: “Send second young miss Xiao back.”
“Wangye, I really didn’t mean to do it.” Xiao Yun really wanted to say more. But with the disgust and disdaining look she was getting from the numerous experts she felt like she had become the target of criticism from others. She felt as if she just say a wrong word, she’ll be killed by them and thrown into the blue lake.
Xiao Yao Wang walked forward to help Huang Bei Yue up. He softly asked: “Are you okay?”
“I’m okay. Thank you Wangye for your concern,” she had quietly said. Then she untied her cloak and gave it to Dong Ling. “Dong Ling put it on my sister.”
“Yes.” Dong Ling brought the cloak over, “Second young miss, the weather is really cold. Put it on.”
The things that Huang Bei Yue give her, how could Xiao Yun accept it? But right now she can’t shed her pretense. So she forced herself to laugh and said: “It’s okay. Third sister isn’t in good health. It’s best if third sister wears it. Second sister’s health is very good.”
Even in this state, she doesn’t forget to mock Huang Bei Yue’s sickly body!
Huang Bei Yue raised her head. Her pitch-black eyes were like the morning stars that appear in the horizon. Resplendent and blurred, she looked at Xiao Yun’s face. Her voice was soft but flat: “Second sister has a healthy body so I won’t worry. But second sister had fallen into the water and isn’t properly dressed. It’s okay here, but once you get to the coast, there will be a lot of people. People will talk about how the young misses from Princess Zhang’s Prefecture doesn’t know any etiquette.”
Xiao Yun was frozen to the point where her face had become blue. Suddenly, her face became red. She had just remembered that the clothes she was wearing were what she would wear at a lady’s chamber. She was only wearing an unlined single garment and because she had fallen into the water, the garment stuck to her skin.
The thin single layer of the garment was light and transparent. It stuck to her skin, outlining her fine curves. The red undergarment that she wore inside was faintly discernible.
The people who were standing there were all men. She’s an unmarried woman, yet she was losing face in front of numerous people without knowing it. She was careless and doesn’t understand the etiquette. She was no different from a woman from the brothel.
[1] In the raws, it was Concubine Qin. But I think the author made a typo because Xiao Yun isn’t really related to Concubine Qin. So I changed Concubine Qin to Concubine Xue.
T/N: Serve you right Xiao Yun! All the bullying you did, this is karma at it’s finest. Humph!
