The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 5 Sisters' Rivalry

Yunxi had just come out of the dirty and smelly woodshed. She was so tired that she could hardly straighten her back. Before she had time to catch her breath, she saw Lin Ruoyan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, leading a group of maids, rushing towards her in a hurry and making a lot of noise.

Lin Ruoyan was wearing a pink silk dress. The peony embroidered on the hem was pretty, but it didn't look very rare on her.

The golden hairpin in her hair swayed left and right with her hurried steps, like an unsettled object.

Looking at her beautiful face, it was now twisted and filled with anger. She put her hands on her waist, her eyes widened, and she shouted at the top of her voice: "Yunxi, you ungrateful bitch, how dare you show off in the Marquis' Mansion!"

Yunxi frowned slightly, straightened her back, and responded calmly: "Sister, where did you get this from?

Yunxi was just doing what she was supposed to do."

When Lin Ruoyan heard this, she snorted and raised the corners of her mouth, "What? What you should do?

Look at you, a lowly concubine's daughter, and you dare to show off in the Marquis's mansion?" Before she finished speaking, she took a big step forward, raised her arm, and swung it towards Yunxi's face, cursing: "Today I will teach you a lesson and let you know your status!"

Lin Ruoyan sneered, "What should you do? You are a concubine's daughter, are you qualified to show off in the Marquis' Mansion?"

As she spoke, she took a step forward and reached out to hit Yunxi.

Yunxi dodged sideways, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, "Sister, don't go too far."

Seeing Yunxi dare to dodge, Lin Ruoyan's face, which was already red with anger, twisted even more. "You still dare to hide?"

She shouted to the maid behind her, "Catch her for me!" The voice was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to pierce people's ears.

Several maids immediately surrounded her, their claws and teeth bared, like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey. Yunxi's petite body dodged left and right among the maids, her agility like that of a nimble little rabbit.

For a moment, the yard was in chaos and dust was flying everywhere.

"Stop it!" Yunxi shouted loudly. Her voice was clear and loud, with unquestionable determination.

Lin Ruoyan sneered, "Do you think that just shouting will work? Today I must teach you a lesson!"

She put her hands on her hips, and her pink silk dress swayed with her violent movements. The gold hairpins on her head also swayed, as if they would fall off at any time.

Yunxi looked directly at Lin Ruoyan, without a trace of fear in her eyes, "Sister, I respect you as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, but you can't be so unreasonable."

"Speaking of reason? In this Marquis' Mansion, I am the reason!" Lin Ruoyan raised her chin with an arrogant look on her face, as if the entire Marquis' Mansion belonged to her alone.

At this time, Xiangling came hurriedly, her forehead covered with sweat, and she stood in front of Yunxi, panting, "Miss, you can't do this to the young lady."

Lin Ruoyan glared at Xiangling, her eyes spitting fire. "How dare you, little girl, speak so much?"

Xiangling was not afraid at all and puffed out her chest, "Miss, she did nothing wrong."

Lin Ruoyan raised her hand and slapped Xiangling, "How dare you!" The slap was so hard and heavy that a red palm print instantly appeared on Xiangling's face.

Yunxi supported Xiangling, her eyes wide open, anger burning in her eyes, glaring at Lin Ruoyan, "Sister, you're going too far!"

Lin Ruoyan curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "Excessive? Humph, I'm just getting started.

"You little bitch, don't you know your own status? How dare you challenge me? I want you to know today that in this mansion, I am the only one who has the final say!"

As she spoke, she took another step forward, her finger almost poking Yunxi's nose.

Yunxi bit her lip, her cheeks puffed with anger. "Sister, you are so arrogant, aren't you afraid that the master and the mistress will blame you if they find out?"

Lin Ruoyan burst into laughter, "Blame me? They love me so much, how could they blame me?

But you, a bastard girl, dare to act so arrogantly in front of me."

Yunxi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Sister, even if I'm a concubine's daughter, I'm still a daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, not a servant that you can beat or scold at will."

"Oh, you think you're a lady?" Lin Ruoyan rolled her eyes. "Do you think you're worthy?"

Yunxi clenched her fists tightly, her palms sweaty, "Sister, everything must be done rationally."

Lin Ruoyan snorted coldly, "Reason? In my case, what I say is reason."

Yunxi straightened her back and said with a firm look, "Sister, you will regret being so unreasonable one day."

Lin Ruoyan's face was full of disdain. "Regret? I think you're the one who regrets it. You've offended me, and you'll suffer."

Yunxi stopped talking and just looked at Lin Ruoyan coldly.

Lin Ruoyan disagreed, "Too much? There are even more excessive ones!" She waved her hand and asked the maids to continue.

Yunxi gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, you are being so unreasonable, aren't you afraid that the master will find out?"

When Lin Ruoyan heard the word "Master", she paused for a moment, but her eyes immediately became arrogant again. She put her hands on her waist and shouted, "Humph, even if the Master knew, what can he do?

Do you think he will protect you? You ignorant bastard girl! "

At this moment, the housekeeper came running in, panting, his face full of anxiety, and said hurriedly: "Miss, Miss, please stop making trouble. You are making a fool of yourself."

Lin Ruoyan glared at the housekeeper fiercely, her eyes almost popping out, and shouted at the top of her voice: "You have none of your business here, get out!"

The housekeeper said helplessly: "Miss, if this gets to the ears of the lady, I'm afraid it will be bad."

Lin Ruoyan snorted and raised her head, causing the golden hairpin on her hair to sway a few times. "She wouldn't dare to do anything to me."

Yunxi bit her lip, staring at Lin Ruoyan intently, and said, "Sister, I will not let this matter go today."

After hearing this, Lin Ruoyan threw her head back and laughed loudly, laughing so hard that she fell backwards, and said as she laughed: "What can you do to me?

You are a wild girl without a mother!"

Yunxi took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling, and said, "Sister, one day, you will pay the price for what you have done."

Lin Ruoyan curled her lips, her face full of disdain, and rolled her eyes and said, "Just you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What ability do you have to fight me!"

Yunxi said nothing more, grabbed Xiangling's hand, turned around and walked away. She walked so fast that the hem of her skirt fluttered in the wind.

Back in the courtyard, Xiangling covered her face with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes as she sobbed, "Miss, Miss has gone too far.

She hit me so hard, my face still burns." As she spoke, Xiangling wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve.

Yunxi patted Xiangling's shoulder gently, frowning, eyes full of pity, and said, "Xiangling, don't cry, I won't let her bully us forever.

I just don't believe there's no place for reasoning in this mansion!"

Xiangling raised her head, looked at Yunxi, and said with a sob, "Miss, but the eldest lady has always been domineering. What can we do?"

Yunxi paced back and forth in the courtyard, clenching her hands into fists, and said, "I have to think of a way. I can't just keep being bullied by her like this.

She thinks she can do whatever she wants just because she's the legitimate daughter, but I don't believe that!"

Xiangling looked worried. "Miss, who can we ask for help? The master is busy with official duties all day, and the mistress always sides with the eldest lady. No one else in the mansion dares to offend the eldest lady."

Yunxi stopped, looked ahead with a determined gaze, and said, "Let's think of a solution ourselves first. If that doesn't work, I'll go ask Grandma for help.

Grandma has always been fair, and maybe she can do justice for us."

Xiangling bit her lip and said, "Miss, what if Grandmother doesn't care?"

Yunxi took a deep breath and said, "Then we can't just sit there and wait for death. The worst that can happen is we have to fight her!

I just don’t believe she can continue to be so arrogant.”

Xiangling said with a worried look on her face, "Miss, please don't be impulsive. If you anger the eldest lady, she might come up with some tricks to deal with us."

Yunxi gritted her teeth and said, "What are you afraid of? If she dares to come again, I will fight her to the death."

Xiangling tugged at Yunxi's skirt and said, "Miss, please don't do anything stupid. We need to think long and hard."

Yunxi frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiangling, you are right, we can't act rashly.

Let's be patient for now, and wait for an opportunity to deal with her properly."

Xiangling nodded, "Miss, what should we do?"

Yunxi pondered for a moment, "Let's be patient for now, there's always a chance she'll learn a lesson."

A few days later, the Marquis's Mansion held a flower viewing banquet. Yunxi and Xiangling got up early and dressed carefully.

Yunxi was wearing a light blue dress with a few small jasmine flowers embroidered on the cuffs and a white ribbon tied around her waist, which made her waist look even more slender.

Xiangling was combing Yunxi's hair, muttering, "Miss, we can't let the eldest lady outdo us today."

Yunxi nodded slightly, with determination in her eyes.

The master and servant arrived at the garden, where they saw a dazzling array of flowers, all vying for splendor. Lin Ruoyan had arrived early, wearing a bright red dress and a head full of gold and silver ornaments, dazzling even from a distance.

As soon as she saw Yunxi, she immediately curled her lips and said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, isn't this sister Yunxi?

"You're dressed up like this, are you trying to seduce some young master?" Then, he squinted his eyes and looked Yunxi up and down.

Yunxi pretended not to hear and continued admiring the flowers. The delicate flowers swayed gently in the breeze. Yunxi reached out and gently touched the petals, a faint smile on her lips.

Seeing Yunxi ignoring her, Lin Ruoyan was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She stamped her feet and shouted at the top of her voice, "You bitch, how dare you ignore me?"

This voice attracted the attention of many people around.

Yunxi then slowly turned her head and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Sister, today is a flower viewing banquet, please don't spoil everyone's mood."

Lin Ruoyan sneered: "Are you worthy enough to talk about interest with me? Who do you think you are!" As she said that, she reached out to push Yunxi.

Just then, a young man came over. He was wearing a white brocade robe, holding a folding fan, and had a dignified appearance.

"Ladies, these flowers are so beautiful."

Lin Ruoyan immediately put on a smile that was as flattering as it could be, and said in a sweet voice, "Sir, what you said is absolutely right."

As she spoke, she moved closer to the young master.

Yunxi just bowed slightly and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoyan secretly hated him and gritted her teeth and whispered, "Yunxi, why are you pretending to be so noble?"

Yunxi still ignored her and turned to walk to the other side. Lin Ruoyan was not willing to let her go and followed her closely, reaching out to grab Yunxi's sleeve, and yelling: "Yunxi, don't think I don't know what you are thinking."

Yunxi stopped and said, "Sister, I don't know what you are talking about."

Lin Ruoyan pointed at Yunxi and said, "You just want to cling to the powerful and wealthy and become a phoenix." Her finger was almost poking Yunxi's nose, her eyes were wide open, and her face was full of ferocity.

Yunxi said, "Sister, you misunderstood." She frowned slightly, with a look of grievance on her face.

"Misunderstanding? Humph, I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin." Lin Ruoyan said, reaching out and pushing Yunxi hard. The force was so strong, as if she and Yunxi had a deep hatred.

Yunxi stumbled and nearly fell. At this critical moment, the young man was quick to support Yunxi and said, "Miss, be careful."

This young man's voice is as gentle as jade.

When Lin Ruoyan saw this scene, she stomped her feet in anger and shouted with gritted teeth: "You..." She looked like a shrew throwing a tantrum.

Yunxi quickly broke free from the young master's hand and said with a slightly red face, "Thank you, young master."

The young master said, "Miss, you're welcome." His eyes were filled with concern.

Lin Ruoyan rushed forward and pointed at Yunxi viciously, "Yunxi, you actually seduced me."

Yunxi said anxiously, "Sister, don't talk nonsense." Her eyes were full of helplessness.

The young master frowned and said seriously, "Miss, please don't speak carelessly."

Lin Ruoyan glared at the young master, put her hands on her hips, and shouted, "You actually helped her?" The voice was so sharp that it could pierce a person's eardrum.

The young master said, "I'm just telling the truth." There was a hint of disdain in his expression.

Lin Ruoyan was so angry that her face turned red, like a cooked shrimp, "Just wait!"

After saying that, she flicked her sleeves, turned around and ran, her steps were so hurried that she almost tripped over her own skirt.

Yunxi looked at Lin Ruoyan's back and secretly swore in his heart that he would make her pay the price for what she had done.
