Chapter 502: 401 Ye Cheng died?
“Slap!” Xu Xuezi gave Lin Jing a heavy slap across the face, “You useless thing, can’t even speak properly, what can you do?”
It was clear they were setting her up, yet she just blurted out it was from her.
A colleague giving such fine clothes to a servant working at the Xu Family, nobody is a fool, they’d surely guess the reason behind it.
Lin Jing covered her face, standing aside, seething yet not daring to speak out. Who would dare to hit her like that? If Su Xiaofeng hadn’t gotten her father thrown into prison, she would still be the esteed Young Lady of the Lin Family. In all of Xijiang County, who would treat her like this?
“What, you disagree, don’t you? Let tell you, the mont you stepped through the Xu family’s door, married to , if I say you live, you live, if I say you die, you die. If you don’t believe , feel free to try,” she had never had much patience for useless people.
“Miss Xu, I didn’t an it like that. This matter was beyond my control. As for beating or scolding, Miss Xu can do as she pleases, I wouldn’t dare utter a word in anger,” Lin Jing naturally couldn’t resist.
This is the Imperial Capital, and this is the Xu Family.
She was all alone, with no one to help her.
Xu Xuezi was right, they could take her life or make her disappear anyti, and it wasn’t an empty threat. The pressing issue was to gain the trust of Miss Xu and be of use to her.
Only by gaining a firm foothold in the Xu Family and earning Miss Xu’s trust could she make further moves.
“You know your place,” seeing that she was rather submissive, Xu Xuezi’s ire cooled down a bit: “This round, she and I are evenly matched. Moreover, with this report, most people would have a negative impression of her, which is good for us. Yecheng inviting the press friends to their wedding, we’ll have to see if there’s even going to be a wedding.”
Thinking of this, Xu Xuezi said, “You all may leave, I’m going to make a call.”
So matters, she couldn’t wait any longer.
If Su Xiaofeng was reluctant to leave Yecheng, to leave the Imperial Capital, she naturally had to force her hand.
…
“Xiaofeng, just now, you were articulate, quickly clearing your na and even implicating Miss Xu, well done.” Xiaofeng didn’t seem like a small-minded country girl; she seed like a woman who had received higher education and grown up in a good family environnt.
“Mom, so things aren’t as they say, I know so things much better than they do, they certainly can’t sar ,” she reasoned. The more you lie, the more people think there’s sothing fishy, and if you remain calm, people can’t figure out what’s on your mind.
“Xu Xuezi has put a lot of thought into dealing with you, even going to Xijiang County to find soone to co over,” Chu Qing sighed lightly: “Though she lost ground today, with her personality, she definitely won’t let things go easily.”
“Mom, I understand,” Xiaofeng was, of course, aware of why the Xu Family wanted to target her, it was nothing more than trying to restrain Ye Cheng: “I know what to do.”
“As long as you are aware, that’s good,” Chu Qing glanced at Ye Cheng and left with others, leaving the space for the two of them.
Xiaofeng looked at him, smiling softly, “Have I ever told you, you looking very handso just now?”
“Haven’t I always been very handso in your eyes?”
Xiaofeng took his hand and led him upstairs, “Co with for a mont, I have sothing to tell you.”
“Alright, you tell .”
Xiaofeng didn’t speak; she directly picked up the scissors from the table, cut so of Ye Cheng’s hair, and placed it into a box.
Ye Cheng furrowed his brows tightly, “What are you doing?”
“This is a custom here; they say if we tie our hair together, we are married. If I don’t cut your hair, how can I give our hair to my mother so she can braid a union knot for us?” Xiaofeng blinked.
Ye Cheng looked puzzled, “I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
“It’s your first ti getting married, of course, you don’t know. My mom told about it, she said we must braid a union knot. Never mind it, it’s just for good fortune,” Xiaofeng suggested.
“Then okay, I’ll cut it for you,” Ye Cheng picked up the scissors and prepared to cut Xiaofeng’s hair.
Xiaofeng had him cut a small section off the side so that it wasn’t too noticeable. With a gentle snip, a lock of hair fell into his palm.
Her hair was soft, silky, and delicate.
It felt nice in his hand.
Xiaofeng packed the box, “You still need to be careful about the Xu Family.”
“Mhm, I’ll have soone keep an eye on them. If they dare to use you to stir up trouble again, I won’t let them off easily,” Ye Cheng nodded.
