Chapter One Hundred: Looking for a Beating
ng good at fighting doesn't necessarily mean being good at boat racing. Boat racing relies on technique, not brute force. I think Lord Yin Xiang's team could win. I heard that Lord Yin specially recru...As expected, just as Er Ya was about to get impatient, an official carriage stopped at the door of Haitang Rouge Shop. A young lady dressed in fine clothes got out of the carriage with the help of her maidservant.
"Here I am." Qin Luoyan said.
Er Ya was startled, "Miss is waiting for her Who is she"
Qin Luoyan smiled, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. "Xiao Changyue, the woman that Wu Xuan Wangfu's Zi Mo is about to marry by imperial decree."
"Ah!" Er Ya had been with Qin Luo Yan for some time, she knew that the man who always came at night, each visit leaving Miss in pain and whimpers, was the Duke of Wu Xuan, Fu Zi Mo. And the woman who just walked into Hai Tang Yan Zhi Fang, was the wife that man was about to marry
For some reason, Er Ya felt a surge of sadness. What was her young mistress, after all
"What expression is that Are you heartbroken for me" Qin Luoyan saw Er Ya's expression and couldn't help but smile coldly. Er Ya was a person who couldn't hide her thoughts, all her thoughts were written on her face, "Do you think I would be willing to marry a man who has both arms full Do you think I would want to marry a man who has been used by others"
“He treated you like that but didn't give you a title, that's just not right!” Er Ya was indignant for Qin Luo Yan, regardless of what noble status that person had, she just felt it was unfair to treat the young lady so poorly.
Qin Luoyan raised her hand to touch Er Ya's head and said, "It's okay, I never thought he would give me a name. Because, I don't think so, so I don't need it. So Er Ya, don't be sad because I'm not sad. Okay, we should go in."
Er Ya nodded, stood up and followed Qin Luo Yan's footsteps, she couldn't help but worriedly persuade: "If that is Wu Xuan Wang's legitimate wife, then you going in like this, if she finds out, then we are not…"
Since ancient times, women without official status who encountered formal relationships always met a tragic end. Although Er Ya wasn't married, she had seen what happened to an older sister from their village. That sister was also dishonored by a local magistrate but never received any official recognition. Later, the magistrate formally came looking for her and, in front of the entire village, beat her to death.
A woman without proper status, even if she is beaten to death, no one dares to speak up for her.
"It's fine, I know what I'm doing." Qin Luoyan had already stepped into Haitang Yanji Pavilion as she spoke.
In the shop, there weren't many rouge on display. Perhaps because they weren't targeting ordinary people, only a few samples were put out symbolically.
A moment later, a fellow came up to greet them. Seeing Qin Luoyan's stunning beauty, he was momentarily stunned before becoming even more obsequious. "Miss, please come upstairs to the private room. If you want to see any kind of rouge, I'll have someone bring it to your private room so you can choose at your leisure," he said.
Qin Luoyan moved gracefully, following the shopkeeper upwards, but she said in a loud voice: "Just get me your most expensive rouge. Our Wuxuan Royal Mansion isn't short of silver."
"Wu Xuan Wangfu" The shop clerk gave her a strange look, unconsciously glancing at another room. However, the clerk quickly suppressed his surprise and led her into a private room.
She had just sat down and hadn't even had time to take a sip of tea when she heard the knock at the door. The shop assistant came in, but instead of bringing any rouge, he led several people inside.
Qin Luoyan knew that being about to become the princess consort of King Wuxuan would attract many people vying for favor, and as soon as she mentioned the Wuxuan王府, someone would inform Xiao Changyue.
But, it came this quickly
"Who is this Oh, it's the warm bed girl for the Prince!" Xiao Yunqin took the lead, standing behind Xiao Changyue and acting as her loyal wingman.
She pronounced the words "bed warmer" with emphasis, successfully eliciting a look of disdain from the shop assistant who overheard her.
It's a pity, Qin Luoyan doesn't care. Her dignity doesn't need a gossip monger to maintain and prove it.
"I never expected to meet Miss Xiao Da and Miss Xiao Er here, what a coincidence." Qin Luoyan stood up, putting on a troubled expression, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb the two young ladies' enjoyment. I'll take my leave now."
"Want to leave Not so easily." Xiao Yunqin took a step forward and blocked Qin Luoyan's path.
Qin Luoyan's footsteps faltered, she turned her head to look at Xiao Changyue, "Miss Xiao, what does Second Miss mean"
Xiao Changyue, in front of others, was always gentle and graceful. She didn't answer Qin Luoyan's words immediately, but instead asked her maid to give the clerk a silver note. The clerk received the money and immediately left the room, even thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
As soon as the door closed, Xiao Changyue's gentle smile vanished. "Qin girl," she said, "I heard that the king placed you outside the palace. I searched for you for a long time, but the king hid you well, and I couldn't find you. Now, you come to me yourself. Are you here on purpose to let me vent my anger After all, I'm about to become the princess of Wuxuan Wangfu. If the king keeps an outside room, if it gets out, my face wouldn't look good either."
"Why don't you go tell the prince these things If Miss Xiao could get the prince to send me away, I would be overjoyed." Qin Luoyan sneered, unconsciously pulling Er Ya back.
“No, how could I say that As a wife, one must be magnanimous and tolerant. Even without me, the Duke will have other women in the future. How could I leave the Duke with an image of a jealous woman” Xiao Changyue shook her head and suddenly smiled. “But since it’s a chance encounter, if something happens between us, Your Highness, there's nothing to say about it, is there”
When it came to this kind of thing, Xiao Changyue was adept at it. After all, she had dealt with many women around Fu Zimo before. She also understood that Fu Zimo's attitude towards Qin Luoyan was different. She didn't dare to have Qin Luoyan killed, nor could she let her get hurt.
At Xiao Changyue's signal, Xiao Yunqin brought two maids to throw Qin Luoyan on the ground. Then they beat and kicked her for a whole tea time.
E'r Ya was startled by the scene before her. When she came to her senses, she rushed over, but unfortunately, Xiao Yunqin had martial arts skills, so even with E'r Ya joining in, Qin Luoyan was still no match for them. It just meant that there was one more person taking the beating.
Er Ya tried desperately to protect Qin Luo Yan, but Xiao Chang Yue's target wasn't her. So she couldn't protect her, instead, Qin Luo Yan took advantage of the chaos and pushed her under herself for protection.
Xiao Changyue sat beside her, sipping tea. The aroma was intoxicating. She smiled gently, her gaze upon Qin Luo'yan like that of a hawk eyeing a struggling ant. The more battered Qin Luo'yan became, the gentler her smile grew.
