Chapter 67 Double Return
Seeing Su Qing coming back with red and swollen eyes, Chuan'er hurried forward, "What's wrong? Did Madam Liu scold you? Why?"
Wanxiang was spreading the quilt. When she heard this, she looked up with a smile on her face. "Chuan'er, I see that Sister Qing's eyes are swollen. Do you want to go to the kitchen and boil an egg?"
When Chuan'er heard Wanxiang say this, he quickly opened the door and walked out.
Su Qing walked up to Wanxiang, and Wanxiang said unnaturally, "I know you blame me for being nosy, but we all serve the Fourth Miss, and no matter what we do, we must take the Fourth Miss's reputation and interests as the starting point, so..."
Before Wanxiang could finish her words, Su Qing swung his arm and slapped Wanxiang in the face.
Wan Xiang covered her cheek and said in disbelief, "Are you crazy? You dare to hit me?"
"Wanxiang, I'm telling you, I will definitely repay you double for what you said and did to me today, so just wait."
"Su Qing, I'm not wrong. Your mother does that kind of thing, and you were just chatting and laughing with that stranger that day. What? Did I say something right, and you're angry and embarrassed?" Wanxiang stood up straight with a look of disdain.
Although Su Qing has grown a lot, she is still a little shorter than Wanxiang, but she is not inferior in appearance. "Don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts. What? Do you dislike the old age of the prince and set your sights on the eldest young master? You ran to Canglang Garden eagerly, but the eldest young master didn't even remember your name. The only thing he said to you was to come back to find me. Are you anxious? Do you want to know why the eldest young master came to me that day? What did he say to me?"
Wanxiang opened her mouth in surprise. It was impossible. How could Su Qing see what she was thinking? When did this happen?
"I know everything. I know all your little tricks. You instigated that idiot Ruchun to frame me because you were afraid that I would come to Master Yue's side and meet the eldest master again, and take your place, right? So, that day in the carriage, I pointed at you and said that I didn't have your lofty ambitions. Although I was a servant, I disdained to be a concubine. Since you like this job, you just fight for it yourself. Why did you treat me as an enemy for no reason? Is it written on my head that 'I want to be a concubine'?"
Su Qing uttered the last sentence in a low growl.
Seeing Wanxiang's surprised expression, Su Qing continued, "Originally I thought that it was just your little trick. After a long time, you will see that I don't have such thoughts. But I didn't expect you to be so vicious. I have never blocked your way. With your tricks and abilities, why don't you go to the young master's concubines, don't try to please the young mistress, or even just take off your clothes and lie on the young master's bed? Why do you keep staring at me? You bastard."
When Su Qing said this, he raised his hand and slapped Wanxiang in the face again.
Wanxiang was already stunned by Su Qing's words and momentum at this time, "Su Qing, you, you..."
"What? I hit you, and you went to complain. Aren't you the best at making small complaints? I'm telling you, Wanxiang, from today on, I've changed my mind. I'll find every opportunity to kill you."
"you dare?"
"Do you think I dare? Just now, Madam Liu believed what I said and didn't say anything about my mother working in that kind of place. On the contrary, she felt sorry for me and loved me. Even the wife of the prince believed me. Haha, what do you call this?"
Wanxiang listened to Su Qing's words, she didn't believe it at all. If either of these two things were true, she would be sent back to the West House at best, or sold off at worst. How could she not be held accountable?
Wanxiang was about to say something when she heard a heavy cough outside. Chuan'er pushed the door open and came in. He had obviously been standing outside for a long time, and the eggs in his hand had gone cold.
"Sister Yuandong is back from the fourth young lady's room." Just as she finished speaking, Yuandong pushed the door open and came in. "You haven't lain down yet? It's really cold today. Is it going to snow?"
The room was dark, with only an oil lamp lit, and Yuan Dong didn't notice anything unusual about the two people.
Wanxiang, lying in bed, began to regret what she had said when she went to find Liu's mother. She had not expected Su Qing to be so cunning and to know so much about her, which she had not been able to discover on weekdays.
She was now quietly thinking about why he was targeting her so much.
In fact, there was really nothing between her and Su Qing from the West House. In the West House, Su Qing was not good enough in her eyes. Because she could tell stories and went to the East House with her, she didn't do as well as herself at the beginning, whether in front of the Fourth Miss or Madam Liu.
Because she was worried that she would go to Canglang Court to use Ruchun to frame her, she promoted her to the third rank. Later, because of coaxing the child and Qingrui's help, she was promoted to the second rank, and was praised by the wife of the prince. In fact, at this time, she could see that Su Qing's threats to her were all imaginary. But why was she so obsessed and kept targeting her?
Wanxiang regretted it deeply. No, she shouldn't have said those words to Liu's mother. No, she shouldn't have let Ruchun frame Su Qing. No, she shouldn't have pushed Su Qing to the opposite side of her from the beginning.
Since it has come to this, I can only take it one step at a time. Jiaolian's attitude towards me is not the same as it was at the beginning. Wanxiang is not afraid. Her parents have arrived at the East Palace, but the second-class job has not been decided yet. I still need her to help me. Therefore, I can only coax her now, and everything will be fine next spring.
Meng Shao probably has no chance here. What if he had gone to Shuangqiao's courtyard? Wanxiang shook her head. It was all in the past. Don't think about it anymore. Following the fourth lady and marrying into the Prince's Mansion is the best choice at the moment. As for whether to serve the fourth lady all the time or have other opportunities, that's another matter.

"If you want to ask, just ask. Look at how hard you are enduring." Su Qing smiled at Chuaner who kept looking at her.
"Qing'er, you were so brave yesterday. I've never heard you talk like that. No, I've never heard anyone talk like that. What's going on?"
"Didn't you hear what we said?"
"I only heard the latter part, I don't know the former part."
"That bastard, she sued me." Su Qing told Mrs. Liu that Wanxiang had gone to her and said that she was bought from Ruyi Pavilion.
"Ah? Why is she so rude? Mother Yu didn't even say it had anything to do with her. That's not right. We who were originally in the human traffickers' house knew about your background. How did she know it?"
"How else can I know? Mother Yu told me." Su Qing thought that Mother Yu would not tell too many people that she didn't spend money to buy her in order to get a bargain, and maybe only Wanxiang's family in Xizhai knew about it.
The less I know about this matter, the better. I don't know if it's true that Mrs. Wang believes in me and won't punish me for this matter. If Mrs. Song or others know about it, I don't know if it will affect me.
Su Qing felt a toothache when he thought of this. He must treat Wan Xiang well. This time he couldn't just think about it, he had to find an opportunity.
"Excuse me, is Wanxiang here?" The voice of the maid came from outside. Chuan'er answered and pushed the door open. She was stunned when she saw the maid at the door. Then she heard that the maid was Wanxiang's mother. She told her that Wanxiang was arranged to go to Songhe Garden. Wanxiang's mother thanked her and walked out of the yard.
After a long time without seeing Chuan'er coming back, Su Qing pushed the door open to see that Chuan'er was standing there looking at the door with a thoughtful look on his face.
"What's wrong? Why don't you go back to the room and stay here in the cold?" Su Qing pulled Chuan'er back to the room.
"Qing'er, I remembered something, a big thing."
