Chapter 8 Framing and Scapegoating

  The red-clothed maid patted the dirt off her body and said, "We're not sneaking around, we've come to give you a wedding gift!"

  "Uh-huh, right." Another green-clad woman held a tray of jewelry, which had just fallen to the ground and was scattered all over. However, each piece of jewelry looked quite good, and Huang Lengyue was an expert at identifying them.

  Qingyue seemed to have taken a liking to the jewelry, and Hongyi's maid looked at her with even more disdain. "Xiao Lü, hurry up and give the gift to Madame Jiǔ!"

  Xiao Lü was about to make a move when Huang Lengyue suddenly raised her hand and sneered, "Take it away, while I'm still in a good mood."

  Give her a gift?

  The weasel is not sincere when it wishes the chicken a happy new year! Is this how you give gifts? Has Phoenix Cold Moon never seen money in her life? Giving gifts like this, what if she accepts and ends up being looked down upon by others?!

  Huang Lengyue finished speaking and turned around coldly.

  Her cold and arrogant demeanor left both maids stunned.

  Turn against me? Has she gone crazy? A super waste like her actually dares to turn against me, does she have the qualifications and ability to do so?

  Such a good thing, they can't even get one in their lifetime as maidservants. She was given it for free and she still dares to be arrogant!

  "Madam, this is a wedding gift from Miss Shangguan. You must accept it." The red-clad maid was somewhat impatient and if not for the fact that she was the legitimate daughter of Prince Ning, she would have beaten her to the point where she'd be searching for her teeth all over the floor, and then see how arrogant she'd still be!

  Phoenix Cold Moon sat elegantly, her hand supporting her delicate chin. "What kind of person is your Miss Shangguan? Why must I accept her gift?"

  Taking a sip of tea, Huang Leng Yue didn't even give the two maids a glance.

  At this time, the green-clothed maid stepped forward and said proudly, "Doesn't Ninth Madame know? My young mistress is the renowned genius girl of Xichuan - Shangguan Jinyan."

  "Shangguan Zhuzi grew up with Mei Guogong since childhood, broke through the second stage of Lingzhe at the age of 13, and became the first genius boy and girl in Xichuan together with Mei Guogong! At the age of 15, in the Xichuan Talent Competition, he and Mei Guogong's piano and flute duet won the title of 'Talented Youth' in Xichuan."

  "At sixteen, Master Shang was chosen by Wu Ling Zong, the first great gate of Xichuan, and selected as the successor to the next generation's leader."

  The maid in green clothes was very proud of herself, as if she were the arrogant Upper Official Jin Yan she had been talking about.

  Huang Leng Yue's heart skipped a beat, Shangguan Jinyan was thirteen years old and had already reached the second stage of spiritual cultivation. Now he must be even more formidable. Moreover, it seemed that he still had some connection with Lian Cheng Wei, that scumbag. And in Ben Zun's memory, the real Huang Leng Yue seemed to be extremely afraid of this Shangguan Jinyan.

  It seems like she's showing off today because she's unhappy with herself.

  Huang Leng Yue remained silent, her face cold. The maid in green was delighted and reached out to put down the jewelry. Unexpectedly, Huang Leng Yue swept her sleeve. "Clattering" a full tray of pearls and gold and silver fell to the ground.

  The red-clothed maid angrily said: "Ninth Madame, what do you mean by this?"

  The phoenix's cold moon eyebrows shot up: "Didn't you hear me telling you to get out just now? Still not hurrying to roll away for me? Otherwise, I'll beat you all together."

  The red-clothed maid was furious, but she was looked at by Huang Lengyue's icy gaze and felt a little guilty. She quickly pulled Xiao Lu to collect all the jewelry and decorations and left in a hurry.

  The phoenix cold moon watched them leave, let out a cold snort, and her eyes shone with a chilly light. Her intuition told her that this so-called Shangguan Jinyan was not a good person. Sending jewelry out of kindness? Who would believe that.
