Chapter 226: The Heroine Whose Luck Was Taken Away
"You are so rude, little girl. How dare you say such bad words? You are not worthy of this bracelet." The old concubine's fingers were shaking with anger. She had never seen such a shameless woman. She had been in the palace for many years and had experienced a lot of verbal disputes. However, the women in the palace were very subtle in their insults. Who would dare to insult the person in front of her like this?
Obviously, her soft words had no fighting power at all. Seeing that she was shaking with anger, the girl could only say such harmless words. So she looked at her mockingly and said with a smile: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I thought you were so powerful. I don't deserve this bracelet, but I do deserve money. I'm not like you, pretending to be a decent person when you look poor."
These words were full of sarcasm, and the people watching nearby shook their heads, thinking that the woman was going too far.
Ye Ruoxing was originally watching from the side. She didn't want to get involved. After watching for a while, she felt bored and prepared to leave.
The system reminded her, "That old lady is Jiang Wuchen's mother."
The fox silently retracted her feet. If this was just an ordinary trivial matter, she really didn't want to get involved.
However, if this is Jiang Wuchen's mother's business, then she has to take care of it.
……
Seeing that the woman opposite was becoming more and more excessive, the old concubine was so angry that her face turned red. Fortunately, the personal maid she sent out to get the silver came over this time.
Seeing her, the old concubine instantly gained confidence. She reached out and snatched the bracelet back, then directly ordered the maid beside her.
"Hongmei, pay the money."
Hongmei hadn't expected the old concubine to move so quickly. She was stunned for a moment before she lowered her head and said with some frustration, "Old concubine, there are no banknotes in the carriage. Little Li went back to get them, but he hasn't come back yet."
"Hahaha, I told you you look so poor, yet you're still pretending to be rich." The woman instantly started to laugh again. She looked at the old and young master and servant in front of her and said with a smile: "Back to the palace, concubine, what's going on? Are you two liars planning to pretend to be the queen and mistress of the palace to deceive us?"
As she spoke, she looked at the old concubine's face with disgust, "tsk tsk" twice, and then said, "Don't you look at your old face? You look like an old toad, old enough to be buried in the ground. Do you still want to be our emperor?"
As she spoke, she reached out and took the jade bracelet from the old concubine's hand, smiling smugly, "Such a fine jade bracelet, you don't deserve it."
The old concubine had never suffered such humiliation in all these years. Seeing that her face was distorted with anger, Ye Ruoxing stepped forward at the right time and stood between the two of them.
She first asked the girl, "Let me ask you, do you agree or disagree with the unspoken rule of first come, first served?"
The girl laughed and said, "Of course I recognize her, but unfortunately she has no money, doesn't she?"
"Just acknowledge it." Ye Ruoxing also smiled. She took out the silver note that Master Ye had given her today from the wooden box beside her and placed it directly on the checkout counter of the shop. Then she said, "Let me ask you, I paid for this bracelet on behalf of the old lady today. She came first, and now she can pay. Does this bracelet belong to her?"
Although the girl was angry, she could do nothing but glare at Ye Ruoxing fiercely, then turned and left.
The storm was thus calmed down, and the people who were originally watching on the side also dispersed.
After the shopkeeper wrapped the bracelet, he bent down and handed it to the old concubine. After the old concubine took the bracelet, she immediately handed it to the maid and asked her to keep it.
"Thank you so much, young lady."
The old concubine stepped forward and thanked Ye Ruoxing. Ye Ruoxing shook her head and smiled, "It's okay. I have a grandmother at home too. She's as kind as you. If she's out there and gets into trouble, I hope someone will be willing to help her."
The old concubine looked at the girl in front of her and felt more and more satisfied. She thought to herself, how great it would be if this was the one Wu Chen liked.
Generous, filial, kind and beautiful.
System: […Poor old lady, she was deceived by this cunning fox. She is not generous, filial, or kind. However, she is really beautiful.]
Thinking of this, the old concubine asked hopefully, "Miss, I don't know who you are from. Why don't you leave me your contact information so that I can return the money you paid me today."
Ye Ruoxing said: "That's fine. I'm the granddaughter of the Wu family in the east of the city. If you want to return the money, just send it to where you want."
When she heard the name Wu family, the old concubine's eyes dimmed instantly, and she was a little disappointed. She heard that the woman involved with Wu Chen was named Ye.
Thinking of this, the old lady laughed at herself. She was really obsessed. When she met a good girl, she thought she was the one Wu Chen liked.
Hongmei quietly reminded the old concubine, "Grandma, it's getting late, we should set off."
The old concubine smiled and said goodbye to Ye Ruoxing, "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now. If we are destined to meet again, I will talk to you again."
Ye Ruoxing smiled and watched the old concubine leave, her posture always very dignified. After the old concubine got on the carriage, she looked back at Ye Ruoxing, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
After sending the old concubine away, the maidservant beside Ye Ruoxing asked with some confusion, "Miss, why do you say you are a girl from the Wu family?"
"My grandmother is my only relative, so naturally I'm from her family." Ye Ruoxing said with a smile, but in fact she said it on purpose. Her current position in the Ye family is very awkward. It would be better to say that she is from her maternal grandmother's family rather than the Ye family.
This is to prevent the old concubine from coming to the door and the Ye family from finding out and causing trouble.
When the old concubine arrived, it was still a little late and the banquet had already begun.
However, when the old concubine arrived, the Xu family did not dare to neglect her, so Xu Qingluo sent Cui Xi, who was by her side, to greet her.
As she helped the old concubine get off the carriage, she explained to her, "Old concubine, it was originally our young lady who wanted to come and pick you up, but she is currently unable to leave, so she sent me here. Please don't be angry."
The old concubine didn't really care about these details. She waved her hand and smiled generously, "It's okay. I've lived in the palace for a long time and I wanted to go out and relax. I encountered some small things on the way today, so I came late. I don't want to make your young lady busy all the time."
Cui Xi smiled and took the old concubine in.
The scene in the mansion was grand, almost all the famous families were here, and many people had already started having fun in the mansion.
When passing by a small pond, the old concubine saw that the two girls seemed to be arguing with each other, and there seemed to be pushing each other in their words. She stopped with some curiosity.
Ye Furong originally didn't want to argue with anyone here.
