Long Live the Empress

Chapter 113 Seeking Skin from a Tiger

Although Fan Ronghua was the only young lady in the mansion, she was well aware of the fights among the women in the harem, so she was not surprised when she heard Zhenzhu say that. "It's really pitiful that the second young lady suffered such a great injustice!"

Yue Jinghong knew Fan Ronghua had taken the bait, so she changed the subject and introduced Yanzhi to Fan Ronghua. Yue Jinghong knew all about these women's stuff, and she coaxed Fan Ronghua around.

By the time they came out of the gouache shop, the two had become close friends.

Yue Jinghong grabbed Fan Ronghua's hand and said, "Sister, I have some pearl powder from Southeast Asia. Mix it with milk every day to keep your face white and translucent. I will send someone to give it to you after I go back. Please don't dislike it!"

Fan Ronghua's grandfather Fan Changyue was the Minister of Revenue, in charge of the finances of the entire Wei State, so she had never lacked those yellow and white things since she was a child. But there is no woman who does not cherish her face, so Yue Jinghong wanted to use pearl powder to get closer to Fan Ronghua.

As expected, Fan Ronghua was extremely happy when he heard it, "Then I would like to thank my sister for her kindness!"

Yue Jinghong personally escorted Fan Ronghua to the carriage before leaving gracefully.

At the same time, Yue Jinghao received an invitation from Xu Lingcan.

Yue Jinghao knew that the Xu family was trying to save her face. They wanted the world to see that even though Yue Jinghao's engagement was broken off by the prince, she was still an honored guest in their Xu family.

Yue Jinghao looked at the invitation and smiled helplessly. Xu Xinghuai was someone he could get along with! So she asked Lao Zheng to prepare the carriage and went to Xu's house.

The capital city is not big, but not small either. On a busy street, Yue Jinghao's carriage met Fan Ronghua's carriage.

In the past, Yue Hanwen was the prime minister, and Yue Jinghao was the most powerful among the women with titles in the capital. But now Yue Hanwen is just a small third-rank minister, so Yue Jinghao asked Lao Zheng to make way for the visitor.

"Miss, the person in the carriage is the eldest daughter of the Yue family!" Fan Ronghua's coachman took a look and said to Fan Ronghua.

Fan Ronghua was a person who bullied the weak and just heard about Yue Jinghong's experience, so she only had deep contempt for Yue Jinghao at this moment. "Go ahead!"

When Fan Ronghua's driver stopped the carriage next to Yue Jinghao's carriage, Fan Ronghua's harsh voice came out from the carriage, "Some people just don't know what face is! It doesn't matter if you lose face yourself, but if you lose face for the whole family...tsk tsk...if it were me, I would have hit my head against a wall and died a long time ago!"

When Manju heard this, she knew that the person was up to no good. Just as she was about to refute, Yue Jinghao stopped her, "She didn't mention anyone by name. If you go out like this, doesn't it prove that she is talking about me?"

Agate thought about it and realized that the lady was right, some people picked up the money but no one picked up the scolding!

Seeing that Yue Jinghao didn't say anything, Fan Ronghua thought that Yue Jinghao's secrets had been exposed and she was too embarrassed to say anything, so she started to scold Yue Jinghao even more fiercely.

Fan Ronghua cursed for a long time, telling everyone about the fight between Yue Jinghao and Yue Jinghong, but he didn't hear Yue Jinghao say a word, so he thought it was boring and asked the coachman to drive the carriage away.

Manju was so angry that her teeth itched. "In my opinion, Miss Fan must have been instigated by the Second Miss, otherwise how could she know so much about our house?"

Yue Jinghao was not affected by Fan Ronghua at all. Instead, she was looking forward to it. "Her friendship with Yue Jinghong is no less than seeking the skin of a tiger. Let's wait and see. Yue Jinghong is about to make a big move!"

Agate couldn't think that deeply, but when she heard that it was related to Yue Jinghong, she felt extremely excited!

Xu Lingcan had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time. As soon as he saw the green-topped carriage, he went to greet it. "Is Sister Jing here?"

Manju responded and helped Yue Jinghao down from the carriage. Yue Jinghao held Xu Lingcan's hand with concern, "Why are you waiting outside again? The weather is getting colder now, just wait in the mansion!"

Xu Lingcan pouted and held Yue Jinghao's arm, "No way! I miss you so much, so I want to see you as soon as possible!"

Yue Jing stroked Xu Lingcan's head lovingly, and walked in talking and laughing with her.

Now Yan Liyuan, who was on a high place, saw Yue Jinghao actually brushing someone else's head like that, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Wang Yi was worried about Yue Jinghao. Originally, the governor was worried that Miss Yue was too sad, so he dropped a lot of government affairs to come see her, but he didn't expect the governor to see Yue Jinghao being laughed at on the street... But now, not only is Miss Yue not affected at all, but she is also talking and laughing with Miss Xu. How can the governor not be angry?

Wang Yi secretly glanced at Yan Liyuan, whose face was gloomy, and didn't know what to do!

Yan Liyuan watched Yue Jinghao go in before turning around and leaving.

"Fan Changyue has been too idle recently..."

Wang Yi quickly accepted the order and ordered his men to trip up Fan Changyue...
