Chapter 100: Chosen the wrong person, can only go to hell...

  "Miss, what did I do wrong?"

  The first reaction of Mu Yu was to question Sheng Jin Xiu.

  "What do you think?" Sheng Jinxiu raised her eyes and looked at Murong Yu.

  This gaze is cold and icy, sending shivers down one's spine...

  At dusk, Yu felt her knees go weak and she knelt down with a thud: "Young... mistress... I don't know where I did wrong..."

  "You also know that you are this young lady's slave? Hmm?" Sheng Jinxiu said coldly: "This young lady thought, you want to go and accompany Chao Yun!"

  "I was wrong... I was wrong!" Murong Yu hurriedly explained: "I was wrong because just now Qiu Shi deliberately oppressed and bullied me, so I had a grudge in my heart and..."

  "This young lady doesn't care about your affairs..." Sheng Jinxiu interrupted Mu Yu's words and continued: "If this young lady isn't mistaken, among all the maids by her side, you and Zhou Shuibei are the closest. Every time she comes to Jingyuan, it's always you who busily attends to her?"

  Muru didn't catch the sarcastic tone in those words, and instead said with a self-satisfied smile: "Thanks to Miss Zhou's appreciation of me, praising my cleverness and quick wit..."

  She sneered and said, "She's indeed clever and cunning. For so many years, she's been deceiving me while taking away countless benefits from me."

  "It's indeed clever, cleverly using the red cloth given by Miss to make a close-fitting nightgown to seduce the man Miss wants to marry!"

  "Since you are close to her, then it's up to you to take action, tear apart the nightgown she made and send it back to her!"

  Sheng Jinxiu raised her hand and a pair of scissors was thrown onto the brocade box with a "pa" sound.

  She took advantage of the momentum and pushed again, and the scissors and brocade box hit Muxiu's face.

  The box lid burst open and a crimson nightgown tumbled out!

  "Cut!" Sheng Jinxiu rapped the table: "You have the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. If Miss still sees a palm-sized piece of cloth, Miss will send you and this nightgown together to the Prime Minister's mansion!"

  "You like Zhou Shui Bi so much, I suppose you'd also love to be a maid at the Shang Book Mansion?!"

  The evening rain suddenly panicked.

  She wanted to go and serve Zhou Shui Bi as a maid, but she was waiting for Zhou Shui Bi to become the noble lady of the Regent's palace before going.

  Who doesn't know that the Empress of Kyoto likes to bully and abuse the concubines and maidservants in the palace?

  In the Shangshu Mansion, Zhou Shuibei lived in constant fear every day. Wherever she went, wasn't it a path to her own demise?!

  "Miss... I am a maid of the Yong'an Marquis's household, how could I possibly think of becoming a maid of the Shangshu's household?"

  "Miss had me cut her clothes, I immediately cut them!" Murong Yu said, picking up the scissors and nightgown, "clip clip clip", she started cutting...

  She didn't realize what Sheng Jinxiu meant until she had cut half of it.

  Sheng Jinxiu... had actually discovered Miss Zhou Qi's intention of getting close to her?

  Does he also know about her helping Miss Zhou Qi with things?

  Sheng Jinxiu was going to use this tattered nightgown to sever ties with Miss Zhou Qi?

  How did she continue to benefit from Sheng Jinxiu after that? How did she ask for rewards from Zhou Qīziǎo?

  Wait a minute, if this nightgown was made by Miss Zhou Qi for the Regent, then why is it here with Sheng Jinshu?

  Is it from the Regent?

  Why did the regent want to hand over the nightgown made by Miss Zhou Qi to Sheng Jinxiu for disposal?

  It seems unlikely, but did the Regent King really have a few feelings for Sheng Jinxiu?

  Then she chose Miss Zhou Qi to abandon Sheng Jinxiu... will there be a mistake?

  Sheng Jinxiu saw Mu Yu's eyes flickering constantly, and she knew what he was thinking without guessing.

  Is she starting to doubt whether the path she chose is really that good?

  What a pity! She chose a road leading to hell, and she must go to hell!!

  "Miss, your pajamas have been cut."

  Before long, Mu Yu put a pile of torn fabric in a brocade box and handed it to Sheng Jinxiu.

  Sheng Jinshu casually grabbed a few handfuls, and said coolly: "Today's Spring Festival banquet, I suppose Miss Zhou Qi is also going... then you can go wait for her at the gate of the Minister's residence!"

  "When the time comes, tell her for me - this young lady's corner of the wall, if she has the ability to dig it up, let her dig!"

  "But she gave this 'goodness' to me, and I received it. Whenever there's a chance, I will return it to her twofold!"

  "In ancient times, there was a story of cutting off sleeves to sever friendship; today, I, young lady, will tear up this cloth and break off all ties with her!"

  "From today on, including her, none of the Zhou family members will ever set foot in my Yong'an Marquis Manor again!"

  "You also think you can get any benefits from me, Sheng Jinxiu?!"

  "As for the past years, Miss Zhou Qi helped the Shangshu Fu borrow gold, silver and money orders from me. After I sort out my accounts, I will personally go to the Shangshu Fu to settle the debt..."
