Chapter 594: Chapter 594, Fierce (1 Update)
Previously, the foolish girl feared Duobao, first because their statuses were different—she was a subordinate, ant to heed commands and run errands.
Now, she belonged to Xie Zhinuan, which ant she had little to do with Duobao. Moreover, her martial skills surpassed Duobao’s; as long as she did nothing wrong, she would win in a fight. Even in front of His Highness, she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage, nor would she cause any trouble for the young mistress.
In her earlier days, when she was nothing but a blockhead, she hardly interacted with Duobao. However, after so contacts, it was clear that Duobao couldn’t compare to Yuanbao’s likability.
Even though Yuanbao could be ruthless and vicious, she never used words that were too harsh, unlike Duobao, who couldn’t read the room.
To think after all this ti he still believed everyone would remain the sa, marking ti? Ridiculous.
“…”
Duobao was fuming with anger.
The foolish girl didn’t bother with him and rapidly finished the rice in her bowl, set down her utensils, and stood up, “We’ll reach the Xie Residence tomorrow. If you wish to wait on the young mistress’ every command, stow your pride and resentnt. Nobody wanted you here, and you’re not welco. Don’t get too full of yourself around ; I’m tolerating you. But if you carry on with this attitude in front of the young mistress, I will be the first to deal with you!”
With that, she turned and went back to her room.
“…” Duobao sat on the stool, completely bewildered, unable to recover for a long ti.
How dared she, how dared she speak to him like that?
Suddenly standing up, Duobao barked, “Stop right there!”
The foolish girl paused, looked back at him with a nonchalant glance, and casually remarked, “Making a fuss over nothing!”
“…”
In an instant, Duobao’s face flushed red.
He felt insulted, even more humiliated than when he had been captured by Rong at the Frontier, and His Highness had to ransom him.
Threatened by a woman, Duobao clenched his fists tightly.
Then he pounded them on the table.
Picked up his bundle and went to his room.
Shopkeeper ng blinked slightly, then signaled soone to clean up the table.
The attendant approached to clear the dishes, but as soon as he touched the bowls, the table collapsed with a crash, and the dishes shattered on the ground.
“Shopkeeper, I…” the attendant exclaid.
“No matter, just clean it up!” But on the guest’s lodging bill, two more charges were added—for the broken table and dishes.
After all, the foolish girl had paid a deposit of one tael of silver from the start.
The cost of two upper-class rooms plus hot water and als for one night wouldn’t co to that much, but with damaged items, it wasn’t enough.
Their rooms were just next to each other, not far from the small courtyard where Xie Zhinuan stayed. The foolish girl had just arrived at her upper-class room when she sensed a familiar presence.
Subtle and faint.
She didn’t think much of it and went inside to bathe. After the old woman ca to fetch hot water for her, the foolish girl asked, “How many upper-class rooms are there on this side?”
“There are about ten upper-class rooms, and three courtyards!” the old woman replied, then asked, “Does the young lady need her clothes washed?”
“Wash them!” said the foolish girl, handing over her clothes and a hundred wen for laundry.
At this hour, washing clothes would require ti for drying as well.
The old woman was overjoyed, “Thank you so much, young lady!”
Most people only gave fifty wen, but this young lady was indeed generous.
“Are the premium courtyards occupied?” asked the foolish girl casually.
Thinking that she wanted to change rooms, the old woman smiled, “Yes, two of the courtyards are occupied; one by the Xie young lady from the county town, who diagnoses and collects fees. She resides in one courtyard by herself, and the other is filled with a bunch of scruffy-looking children and won. We’ve sent over loads of hot water for them!”
The foolish girl was overjoyed at the news.
She instantly understood where the familiar sensation had co from.
It turned out that the young mistress was also staying within this inn.
Having sent the two old won away, she locked her door, planning to go and see if it was indeed her mistress.
