▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
If it were any other time, Qin Ruan would have definitely used this bowl of soup.
Today, she was in a bad mood and didn't have much appetite.
Qin Ruan slowly curled up the corners of her lips and spoke gently to the servant, "Leave it for now, I'll drink it later."
The medicinal soup served at this moment was just at the right temperature, ensuring that Qin Ruan wouldn't burn her mouth and that the precious herbs in the soup would maintain their medicinal properties.
The servant looked at Hou Zhi with a puzzled expression, as he had a serious look and a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Hou Zhi also didn't understand why her Madam didn't touch the medicinal soup she drank every day.
She waved her hand at the servant, who left cautiously.
Xiao Wenrou couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw Qin Ruan's pampered appearance. She sarcastically said, "Ha, just because you're pregnant, do you have to be so delicate? You come from a humble background, and you really think you're precious."
Qin Ruan lowered her gaze and kept her eyes on the medicinal soup, ignoring Xiao Wenrou, who had been causing trouble early in the morning.
The latter had no basic manners and immediately questioned Hou Yunjiao.
If it had been her usual temperament, she would have grabbed the other person's hair and taught her what etiquette was.
Hou Zhi took a step forward, slightly bowed to Xiao Wenrou, and said in a deep voice, "Madam Nangong, please be more polite. Our Lady is even more delicate than the master himself. Everyone in the Hou family serves our Lady."
Qin Ruan raised her eyes, looked at Xiao Wenrou with disdain, and a faint mocking smile appeared on her lips.
She had no feelings when she saw this woman yesterday, but after the dream she had this morning, which seemed real but was full of loopholes, she was filled with disgust towards Xiao Wenrou.
Sometimes, you just dislike someone without needing any reason.
You just find everything about them unpleasant.
At the moment, Qin Ruan felt that this so-called gentle and well-behaved Xiao Wenrou, who seemed to be perfect in everything except her words, actions, and behavior, was very pretentious.
Qin Ruan lazily leaned against the sofa, her gaze falling on Xiao Wenrou, giving her an indescribable sense of scrutiny.
It was as if Xiao Wenrou was an object for her to casually observe.
Xiao Wenrou felt uncomfortable under her gaze, and a hint of annoyance showed on her delicate makeup. "What are you looking at?!"
Qin Ruan played with her hair draped over her shoulders and boredly drew circles. Her voice was slow and gentle, "Madam Nangong, you couldn't wait to come to the Hou family on the second day of your marriage. I wonder why? Are you here to apologize for your husband, or to spy on the Hou family's secrets? If it's an apology, there's no need because I won't accept it."
"Who do you think you are?!" Xiao Wenrou confidently retorted, "I came to see my third brother!"
"Third brother?" Qin Ruan furrowed her delicate eyebrows, her beautiful face tinged with confusion.
She looked at Hou Zhi and asked, "Does Madam Nangong have a third brother?"
Hou Zhi respectfully bowed and spoke gently, "As far as my subordinates know, Madam Nangong has an elder brother named Xiao Yujie, Young Master Xiao"
Qin Ruan's face revealed a satisfied smile, and she nodded lightly to indicate her understanding.
Her gaze shifted slightly, and Qin Ruan stared at Xiao Wenrou's displeased face, mocking, "So, may I ask, Madam Nangong, where did your 'third brother' come from?"
Xiao Wenrou tightly gripped the handbag beside her and angrily replied, "I'm talking about Master Huo!"
"Oh, so you want to see my third brother," Qin Ruan chuckled. "The Hou family doesn't have any sisters. Madam Nangong, don't just assume someone is your brother. People who don't know might think you lack love."
As she spoke, she covered her lips, her expression mocking, and her gaze contemptuously fell on Xiao Wenrou.
As a young lady from a prestigious family, Xiao Wenrou had never encountered someone so impolite towards her. Her temper as a young lady instantly couldn't be suppressed.
She glared angrily at Qin Ruan and said, "Qin Ruan, don't think that my third brother would like you. Don't think you're so amazing. Everyone knows that my third brother is cold-hearted. The only reason he could be with you is because of the child!"
Qin Ruan heard these words, but they didn't affect her.
"Hmph!" Qin Ruan sneered. "Coincidentally, the reason I'm with my third brother is also because of the child."
Xiao Wenrou's face was full of contempt, her posture proud and aloof.
She seemed to see through everything, disdainfully staring at Qin Ruan as if she were watching a clown. "So, you admit it. You admit that you used unsavory means to conceive my third brother's child?"
Qin Ruan's face showed a smile that was neither cold nor warm. How did it become her resorting to any means necessary? Clearly, it was the Su family's calculation towards the third brother, and the plotting of Han Xian and Han Kexin, which led to her entanglement with the third brother.
But she wouldn't tell an insignificant outsider about these things.
Qin Ruan crossed her legs, placed her hands on her knees, and played with her slightly long nails. Her voice was cold and indifferent. "Madam Nangong, I have to declare that whether or not I'm carrying my third brother's child, you will never enter the Hou family."
If Xiao Wenrou could enter the Hou family, Hou Yunjiao wouldn't have remained single until death in her previous life.
This statement completely touched a sore spot for Xiao Wenrou. The anger bursting from her eyes seemed to want to consume Qin Ruan.
Not being able to marry into the Hou family was her lifelong regret, and it pained her whenever she thought about it.
She couldn't marry into the Hou family. Why did Qin Ruan, with her lowly background, get everything she could never obtain no matter how hard she tried?
Xiao Wenrou clenched her fists tightly, unable to conceal her anger and jealousy towards Qin Ruan any longer. "Even if it's not me, it shouldn't be your turn!!!"
Qin Ruan looked at her with a faint smile on her lips, her exquisite and beautiful face exuding a sweet smile.
This unyielding attitude irritated Xiao Wenrou to the point of fury.
Xiao Wenrou took a deep breath and stared at Qin Ruan with intense eyes. "Have you ever considered your own status? The Hou family is a prestigious and prominent clan, the leader of the four major families. In ancient times, they were considered nobility. And you are a commoner. What
makes you think you can sit here?"
"Your lowly background, take a good look at yourself. You are not worthy of my third brother in any aspect. The woman who can stand by his side should be a noble lady who matches him in both talent and virtue, a refined young lady!"
The more Xiao Wenrou spoke, the more enraged she became, seeing Qin Ruan as utterly worthless.
Having someone like her exist by the third brother's side was simply tarnishing him.
Qin Ruan didn't get angry at Xiao Wenrou's words. Instead, the smile on her face became even brighter.
She narrowed her eyes, filled with a smiling expression, and nodded in agreement. "Indeed, I have a humble background. However, it is I who sits here today, not any other woman. Even if you're angry, it's of no use."
If she can't defeat you in an argument, she'll fabricate some groundless accusations against you.
Qin Ruan gave up, stopped getting entangled with the other party, as it was a waste of time.
Early in the morning, she wasted her peace and quiet on a troublesome and meddlesome woman, feeling somewhat weary because of it.
Qin Ruan's stomach began to protest, and she stood up with a distant tone, saying, "Madam Nangong, if there's nothing else, please leave. I won't entertain you." She walked towards the dining hall.
"You, stop!"
Xiao Wenrou quickly stood up and called out to Qin Ruan.
Qin Ruan turned around, displaying impatience in her expression, evidently running out of patience. "Is there something else?"
"I want to see Third Master!"
Qin Ruan scoffed lightly, raising an eyebrow and staring coldly into Xiao Wenrou's black eyes. "You want to see my man? Have you obtained my permission?"
"I am officially notifying you now that I want to see Third Master." Xiao Wenrou suppressed her anger and emphasized once again that she wanted to see Hou Yunjiao.
Qin Ruan's attitude was straightforward as well. "Well, I am officially notifying you that you are not allowed to see him!"
"Hou Zhi, escort Madam Nangong out."
"Yes, Madam."
Hou Zhi stepped forward, gesturing politely to Xiao Wenrou, adopting a firm attitude. "Madam Nangong, please."
Dear readers, I apologize for the decrease in the number of updates, but please understand. On the 18th, Hua Hua underwent a minor surgery on her right hand (mentioned previously). It's not a big deal or an illness, but it seems to affect her ability to type.
Yesterday, her hand swelled and her joints hurt, making it impossible for her to meet the 20,000-word target.
Here, she's explaining it to everyone.
There will be more opportunities for updates in the future, and she will make up for it.
--Lastly, please vote for the monthly rankings. Thank you all for your support, and gratitude is in her heart.
