Chapter 103 Jiao Ke
The next day, just after the rooster crowed three times, a distinguished guest came to the inn.
Qu Xiang, dressed in a gorgeous dress, appeared in the lobby of the inn with her maid and servants.
Everyone was surprised, but no one dared to step forward to ask.
The shopkeeper did come to inquire once, but was sent away forcefully by the servant. Now he is hiding behind the counter, not daring to say a word.
After eating the big pot meal prepared in the kitchen, everyone carried their backpacks and went out.
Since I am still in Lingyun County, I must go out and sell goods for a day. I know how to earn as much as I can.
Qu Xiang sat upright, her whole body dressed exquisitely, and her aura as a noble lady made people dare not even take a second look at her.
Yu Chun'er and Yu Qiu'er gave the food boxes to Honglian and Lumei, put them on their backs and were ready to go out with Xiao Wang.
Qu Xiang winked at the maid Huamei, who smiled and called the two sisters over, "You two, come over here."
Yu Qiuer turned around, "Are you calling us?"
Huamei looked her up and down, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, and nodded arrogantly.
Yu Qiuer was wearing a coarse cloth dress with a blue background and white flowers today. Her small bun was tied with a red hairband. She looked like a little girl from the country. Yu Chuner was dressed in the same way. Especially, they were carrying baskets on their backs, as if they were about to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.
Sensing the contempt in her eyes, Yu Qiuer turned back and said, "I don't know you, so I won't come over."
Yu Chun'er raised her hand and rubbed her head, praising her: "Be good, remember what your aunt said, don't pay attention to strangers."
Huamei had followed Qu Xiang since she was a child, so how could she have suffered such an injustice? Her eyebrows immediately stood up, "Our girl is the governor's daughter, and you two country bumpkins are actually disobeying our girl!"
She said this loudly, and those who had not yet left the inn became unhappy, especially Xiao Wang.
She held her two daughters, completely furious, and sneered, "What you said is so ridiculous. I thought you were the governor's daughter!"
Liu Juhua and Zhao Meixiang beside her looked at each other and laughed out loud, "Being a maid, she thinks she's the master too. It's really hilarious."
They are not afraid of the governor's thousands or tens of thousands of gold. They are relatives of immortals. Are they proud?
Huamei was so angry at their words that she pointed at the women and kept calling them “you, you, you” for a long time without saying a word.
He had no choice but to stamp his feet and go back to Qu Xiang.
"Girl..." Huamei was very angry and felt that these peasants were ungrateful.
Qu Xiang's face also looked unhappy, but what made her feel most ashamed was Huamei's performance. As her head maid, she couldn't even be defeated by several country women.
"If you don't do your job well, you'll get a slap in the face." She said in a cold voice.
Before Huamei could kneel down and beg for mercy, someone kicked her hard in the knee.
As soon as he fell to his knees, he was slapped in the face.
Her tears fell, but she dared not say a word, allowing Huang Ying to slap her in the face again and again.
Huang Ying was also very angry. Huamei's temper had worsened in recent years and he couldn't even do such a small thing asked by the girl. He really deserved a lesson.
The sound of the slap fell into everyone's ears, making people feel uncomfortable.
Although the women found Huamei annoying, they felt that she was not guilty of such a crime when they saw her being slapped like this. She must have been slapped nearly ten times, right? Look at her face, it is so swollen that it is unbearable to look at.
Liu Juhua rolled her eyes and called out to the woman who was being slapped, "Hurry up and leave. Business is more important."
What's the point of watching such a commotion? Can a commotion be as good as money?
Everyone reacted and hurried out of the inn. Seeing someone being beaten and having no money to take, they left and went to earn some money!
The people in the lobby left quickly, but Huang Ying's hands still didn't stop slapping.
Qu Xiang raised his hand and pinched his brows. It had been so long, why hadn't the young prince come downstairs yet? Did he get up so late? Aren't those peasants in the countryside supposed to get up and work as soon as the chickens crowed?
After waiting patiently for a long time, no one showed up. Qu Xiang finally couldn't stand it anymore and went upstairs with everyone.
If the mountain doesn’t come to me, then I will go to the mountain.
Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng had indeed not woken up yet. They had stayed up too late last night and would probably have to sleep until the afternoon. Batian was sleeping soundly at the other end of the bed.
Honglian and Lumei each moved a stool and sat outside the guest room, practicing calligraphy while waiting for the two to wake up.
The sound of someone approaching was heard from afar. Honglian put the small board into his arms, quickly pulled out the dagger from his calf and held it in his hand.
She could tell that these were not the footsteps of anyone in the team.
Seeing her move, Lumei also put away the board and took out the dagger.
In just a few breaths, the person appeared at the end of the corridor.
The woman covered in jewels and precious stones came over slowly, emitting an overbearing aura.
The two sisters looked at each other and became alert.
Qu Xiang approached and saw two maids. He raised his chin towards them and said, "Go in and tell them that Qu Xiang, the daughter of the governor of Liangzhou, is here to visit."
Honglian took a step forward and said without any tone: "My son-in-law is still resting, please come back in the afternoon."
Qu Xiang narrowed his eyes and became very annoyed.
It would be fine if those peasants didn't take her seriously, and she could think that it was because they were narrow-minded, but these two maids didn't take her seriously either.
When she became the young prince's woman, the first thing she would do was to make these two maids suffer a fate worse than death.
Huang Ying's face was gloomy, "How dare you! Our girl is the daughter of the governor of Liangzhou!"
Lu Mei curled her lips and said, "I don't care what kind of daughter you are. Even if you are a princess, you can come back in the afternoon. Why are you wasting your time?"
Trying to disturb a girl who has stayed up all night to rest is useless. No amount of money can help her.
Huang Ying was almost pissed off, but luckily she was calmer than Hua Mei and lowered her voice and said, "My girl has something important to do with Master Yu. If she delays the conversation, can you bear the responsibility?"
When Lumei heard that they were here to see Yu Chaosheng, something suddenly changed in the look in her eyes.
She dressed up beautifully and came to see her own son-in-law. How shameless!
Honglian recalled what Zhao had told her last night, and thought that they were probably waiting for these people, so she straightened her face and said, "Young Master is still accompanying Madam to rest, so it is really inconvenient for him to see guests. Please come back in the afternoon."
Qu Xiang was so angry that she immediately got furious. These people were so outrageous that they actually ignored her. Two mere maids actually dared to stop her. They were so bold. Could they be the young prince's concubines?
"When I see Master Yu, I will make him sell you out!" She gritted her teeth, her nails almost digging into her palms.
She was full of confidence when she came here, but now she was stopped outside the door and couldn't even see anyone. How could she display her skills?
Pan Yingying inside turned over, her hair falling to the pillow, revealing a piece of pink earplug in her ear.
