青春期撞上更年期第1部

The coincidence would only have to be her daughter. By then, she could trample on the old beggar and B*tch Shui and also deal with the b*tchy girl at the same time. Madam Di didn’t think it was necessary for the possible lurking peril to exist.

How could a b*tchy girl compare with her beautiful daughter who had been raised with so much care and love!

She wanted the b*tchy girl and B*tch Shui to live worse than death…

There always were new topics in the capital city. Since the matter of Wang Yishu, the news of Madam of Duke Xing taking the girl of a Jiangzhou magistrate as her adopted daughter had been spread, and the process was very grand. It was said she especially appointed her servant to send generous gifts, and many of them were exquisite. She didn’t look down upon the girl at all, although she was but the daughter of a small area’s magistrate.

It was said the magistrate’s daughter still lived in Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion. Therefore, now many people could not clearly judge whether Duke Xing’s Mansion and Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion held gratitude or resentment toward each other. It was better to say this brought honor to Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion rather than saying the small magistrate’s daughter was liked.

It was said the gifts stayed in Qin’s Mansion for a while and then were directly sent to Qi’s Mansion in the capital city. But some others thought Miss Qi seemed not so generous and didn’t know why Madam of Duke Xing liked her.

When she lived in Qin’s Mansion as a guest, she was appreciated by Madam of Duke Xing who visited the mansion. No doubt, this was her good luck, but the good luck occurred in Qin’s Mansion. That was to say, without Qin’s Mansion, she would have had no chance to meet Madam of Duke Xing. For Madam of Duke Xing, Qin’s Mansion should also be one of the reasons why she had sent generous gifts, and even some of them were possibly prepared for Qin’s Mansion.

Miss Qi looked quite mean when she sent all the gifts back to her home hurriedly. Thus, before Qi Rongzhi moved to Duke Xing’s Mansion and lived there, many people had disliked her.

Rich and powerful aristocratic families had their rules, and it was not so easy to get used to these rules. On this matter, Qi Rongzhi had been scorned by the Misses who also came from rich and powerful aristocratic families.

But Qi Rongzhi had no idea about these things. These days, she had been so proud that she nearly wanted to tell the whole world her current identity. Finally, she could join Duke Xing’s Mansion. On that day, Duke Xing’s Mansion sent their servants to set the date, and so much silk and satin among the generous gifts could be used to tailor the number several times her current clothes.

Previously, the gifts were sent to Qi’s mansion, but Qi Tianyu returned half of them, with some used to thank Qin’s Mansion. Qi Rongzhi did take these gifts to Madam Dowager, but she took all the luxurious brocades among them to make clothes for herself.

She was about to be a Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion. If she didn’t prepare a few more clothes, how could she present herself in public?

Although she wore beautiful clothes daily, she could not find the right person to show them off. Qin Yuru was grounded. It was said Qin Wanru was ill, and Zhifang Pavilion was heavily guarded. She wanted to break in, but it was impossible.

Qi Rongzhi felt her charm was not seen. Today she also paid a special visit to Zhifang Pavilion of Qin Wanru. For this visit, she especially changed to another beautiful dress. During these days, she wore a different dress each day. Each of them was beautiful and unique and could be regarded as fine work.

But such fine work was not appreciated as it should be at the entrance of Zhifang Pavilion.

“Miss Qi, our Miss is ill and can’t see you!” Qu Le came out and said to her respectfully. Although she was now still a second class servant girl, she was the assistant of Qingyue, helping her deal with the affairs in the courtyard. Being a second class servant girl, she was bright, and servant girls of the courtyard also treated her as a principal maid. Everyone thought it was but a matter of time for her to become a principal maid.

Others thought so, but Qi Rongzhi didn’t. She changed her expression to look Qu Le up and down and raised her head as her look turned cold. “Qin Wanru has made so many excuses to avoid seeing me. Is it that she dare not see me?”

A second class servant girl came to speak to her, making Qi Rongzhi burn with anger.

Who was she? She was about to be the Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion soon, but she was belittled so much by Qin Wanru.

“Miss Qi, our Miss is truly ill. She has been ill since she came back from the palace!” Qu Le explained.

“B*tchy maid!” Qi Rongzhi went furious, ready to slap Qu Le.

Qu Le reacted extremely fast and avoided it as she shouted, “Miss Qi, our Miss is truly ill. You don’t believe it, do you?”

Their noise became louder, and others in the courtyard shot an unfriendly look at Qi Rongzhi. When she found so many servant girls and old maids with brooms and rags were staring at her, she couldn’t help feeling inexplicably guilty. Instantly, she dare not make trouble.

She gritted her teeth and snorted coldly. “I will leave Qin’s Mansion in a few days. Tell your Miss to get up early, or she won’t be able to see me in the future even if she wants!”

“Yes, Miss Qi, I will tell our Miss in a while. Miss Qi, please leave now! “If you have nothing to do, you can go and see First Miss in the name of our Second Miss. In a while, our First Miss and Childe Di may get married. By then, it might not be so convenient for First Miss Qi to see our First Miss!”

Qu Le said with a flattering smile and changed the previous topic to the visit to Qin Yuru.

“I want to see her? Look at Qin Yuru’s identity! She doesn’t deserve my visit!” With a cold snort, Qi Rongzhi turned and left.

“Miss Qi, take care!” Qu Le bowed toward her back, looking very courteous.

Qi Rongzhi turned and looked at Qu Le’s smiling face, feeling more irritated. She stood outside Zhifang Pavilion, looked for the right direction, and then turned, but she still decided to take another path, which led to Qin Yuru’s courtyard.

During these days, she had been declined several times by Qin Wanru, and she had indeed not visited Qin Yuru’s place to show off. When she thought her identity was uncommon but the Qin Sisters hadn’t seen her or admired her, she felt uncomfortable as if she was walking in the dark in beautiful clothes. Anyway, she needed to let the Qin Sisters admire her.

Since Qin Wanru had declined her, she needed to go to Qin Yuru.

In the past, it was inconvenient to visit Qin Yuru because Qin Yuru was grounded. But, after she was angered at the door of Qin Wanru and hadn’t vented the anger that bounced in her chest, she didn’t have to care so much and went to Qin Yuru’s place with Chunyi.

She looked down upon Qin Wanru’s identity, but the latter asked a second class servant girl to speak to her. What was it if it was not an insult?

“Miss, Miss Qi was angered and went to First Miss!” Qu Le did not leave but followed Qi Rongzhi for a while. When she saw her take the path to Qin Yuru’s courtyard, she returned.

“In recent days, ask Qi Rongzhi to pay more visits to Qin Yuru!” Qin Wanru smiled and, referring to something, said.

Qi Rongzhi and Qin Yuru are on the same level of meanness and viciousness. Let them fight each other, and she could save so much trouble.

The disaster that happened in Jingxin Monastery must have something to do with Madam Di, but she was now in the capital city and could not do it from so far away, and the one who had ties with her and could secretly frame Jingxin Monastery in Jiangzhou was only the Jiangzhou magistrate.

It was not easy to deal with the magistrate’s wife Madam Li, and Madam Di must have offered a condition.

Qin Wanru didn’t mean to know the condition Madam Di offered. Possibly, the condition was to help Qi Rongzhi. What happened to Qi Rongzhi now was an example. Madam Di could say she helped make it come true. For her daughter’s good, Madam Li in Jiangzhou would deal with the small Jingxin Monastery.

In the eye of the aristocratic families in the capital, the Jiangzhou magistrate was not powerful, but in the eye of the civilians, a magistrate was their ruler and could not be dealt with randomly. The Jiangzhou magistrate was very powerful in Jiangzhou, and he was far away from the capital. If he wanted to hurt Jingxin Monastery, a few words would do.

The trouble of Jingxin Monastery showed that Madam Di and Madam Li had colluded again.

Qin Wanru would never allow them to build a strong alliance. In this life, Qi Rongzhi and Qin Yuru should no longer collude to commit evil deeds.

No matter how Madam Di explained, it was useless about one thing. When Qi Rongzhi was liked by Madam of Duke Xing, she had been locked up. That was to say, she had contributed nothing to this matter. With this, it was enough for Qi Rongzhi to ridicule the condition Madam Di offered. In the eye of Qi Rongzhi, Madam of Duke Xing liking her was completely her luck. This had nothing to do with Madam Di and Qin Yuru.

With this and all their hatred, everything that followed was natural…

“Duke Yong’s Mansion may send herbs again. Ask our servants to keep a special eye on the two new servant girls.” She already had a firm prediction about Qi Rongzhi and didn’t need to care about her anymore. Instead, she noticed another thing and softly gave her instructions now.

“Yes, Miss, I will take care of it!” Qu Le nodded and said smilingly. Now she kept an eye on the two newcomers and also connected with Qing Xue.

Qin Wanru nodded and looked out the window. Outside, large snowflakes were falling, but no one knew when they started. They were not dense, but they seemed to become heavier and heavier. Just after a while, the ground was covered with a thin blanket of snow. She tightened her clothes and walked to the window as her eyes glinted. This was the first heavy snow she had seen since she arrived in the capital.

“Miss, do you want to appreciate the snow? One pavilion is a good place to go to, and it is warm there!” Qingyue suggested. She had been in the mansion and was now very familiar with nearly every corner of the mansion!

“Go, let’s take a look!” Qin Wanru agreed joyfully.

After Yujie brought a cloak and put it on her, they led her out along with Qingyue!

It snowed before, but it was not as heavy as this one. Snowflakes danced everywhere in the sky, but such a view wouldn’t happen in Jiangzhou!

Qi Rongzhi angrily walked out of Qin Yuru’s courtyard after a short time. Now she hated the Qin Sisters very much, for one was a s*ut and the other was stupid. Anyway, both were very unpleasing to the eye.

She was angered by Qin Wanru, and she was made uncomfortable by Qin Yuru, who didn’t admire her at all and even ridiculed her.

Unexpectedly, it snowed outside, but it didn’t when she came just now. She gave a cold, haughty snort and quickened her steps to walk to the outside. Before taking too many steps, she saw a person suddenly appear before her. After seeing the face clearly, she felt not confident. With a slip, she couldn’t help bumping over hard!
