LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?
Chapter 41: The Rules of Princess Zhuoyang
After leaving Zhuoyang Villa, Lu Chenshuang said goodbye to the eldest princess.
When no one was around, the princess smiled and said, "If I had known you were so talented, I would not have taken back the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix hairpin."
Lu Chenshuang smiled and replied: "The princess' hairpin is so valuable, if I really win it back, I will have to clean it and worship it every day, I don't want to cause trouble for myself.
Besides, it was totally unexpected that I won this match.”
The princess thought Lu Chenshuang was being modest, so she laughed and teased, "Could it be that you don't have confidence in your own talent?"
Who knew that Lu Chenshuang shook her head and replied: "Of course not, I just don't have confidence in this flower viewing banquet and Princess Zhuoyang."
After hearing Lu Chenshuang's words, the princess looked at the Zhuoyang Villa thoughtfully.
Lu Chenshuang didn't say anything more. She just said goodbye to the princess and got on the carriage.
Although she and the eldest princess got along well, they had only met once, so she could just stop talking when necessary.
She was not so confident that she, who had only met them twice, could match the sisterhood between the eldest princess and Princess Zhuoyang that had lasted for decades.
Besides, these are all trivial matters. Even if the princess knew that Princess Zhuoyang cheated at the flower viewing banquet, so what? Everyone has relatives and friends.
Lu Chenshuang took Xiaoman and Guyu to sit in the carriage. Xiaoman was excitedly counting the jewels along the way.
Guyu looked at Lu Chenshuang with some worry. Guyu was always thoughtful and knew that she had something to say to him.
So he took the initiative to ask: "Guyu, just say whatever you want to say."
Gu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Before I left Zhuoyang Villa, I heard two maids discussing that those who won the first prize in the flower viewing banquet in previous years would give a generous gift to thank Princess Zhuoyang.
Some would give all the winnings to Princess Zhuoyang, while others would exchange them for silver bills and put them in gift boxes.
Girl, do you think we should also…"
Before Guyu finished speaking, Xiaoman said, "Those people are crazy. They won all these with their own ability. Why should they give them back?"
After that, he picked out a butterfly hairpin from the jewelry, waved it in front of Lu Chenshuang and said: "Girl, look at this hairpin, it is so delicate, and the butterfly looks like it's alive.
I remembered that this was taken off the head of Princess Zhuoyang's niece-in-law Xue Liu.
She was once known as the most talented woman in the capital, but she was defeated by the girl today."
Lu Chenshuang took a look at the hairpin in Xiaoman's hand. It was indeed very good, with fine workmanship. Even the patterns on the butterfly wings were particularly clear, and were embellished with various gems.
Lu Chenshuang roughly estimated that this hairpin might be worth no less than a thousand taels.
However, Lu Chenshuang doesn't like this kind of things. She has no habit of wearing jewelry, and even if she does, she would wear simple and elegant ones.
Seeing that Xiaoman couldn't let go of the hairpin, she said, "Since you like it, you can take it and play with it."
Xiaoman was shocked when she heard this. Although she had never worn such a good hairpin, she knew good value. It must be worth at least a thousand taels of silver. How could a maid like her not be worthy of it?
So she shook her head like a rattle and said: "This is what the girl has worked hard to win, I can't take it.
If the girl doesn't like it, we can take it to the pawn shop and exchange it for silver, and then buy her a new one."
I have to say Xiaoman still understands Lu Chenshuang. Lu Chenshuang really doesn't like to use things that have been used by others, no matter how good they are.
So Lu Chenshuang smiled and said: "A hairpin is not worth anything. If there is something you and Guyu like, you two can pick one each. If you don't like it, I will buy you new ones after I exchange it for silver."
Xiaoman was very happy to hear that, and quickly stood up to thank Lu Chenshuang, but because she was sitting in a carriage that was too low, she accidentally hit her head.
This caused Lu Chenshuang to burst into laughter.
Guyu looked at Xiaoman's carefree appearance and sighed helplessly. Being simple-minded also has its advantages. After all, there are not so many worries.
Lu Chenshuang looked at Guyu and asked again: "Were there other people around when those two maids said this?"
Guyu shook her head and replied: "No, I just heard it when I went to the toilet."
Lu Chenshuang smiled and said: "I said that on purpose for you to hear. Princess Zhuoyang is a very strict person. Otherwise, the servant wouldn't have been so scared before we entered the door.
Think about it, if it wasn't for Princess Zhuoyang's instructions, would those two maids dare to discuss such a thing in public?"
Guyu thought about it carefully and realized it was true.
There was no one on her way to the toilet, but two maids suddenly appeared and happened to be heard by her. I guess they were said on purpose for her to hear.
Guyu looked at Lu Chenshuang and asked, "Girl, what should we do now?"
Lu Chenshuang sneered and replied: "It's OK, Xiaoman is right, I won these things with my own ability. How can I give them back?"
Besides, I ruined Princess Zhuoyang's good deeds today, and she is already angry with me. Even if I return all these things, she may not be happy.
I am destined not to be on the same page as Princess Zhuoyang, so there is no need to do such a thankless task."
Xiaoman, who was originally happy, felt something was wrong the more she listened. By the time she realized what was going on, her excitement was gone.
She really didn't expect that a princess of such stature could be so narrow-minded. At the same time, she was also worried about Lu Chenshuang. Their lives were already difficult, and if they offended Princess Zhuoyang again, wouldn't their future lives be even more difficult?
Thinking of this, Xiaoman also looked at Lu Chenshuang with worried eyes.
Lu Chenshuang felt helpless. Looking at the looks of these two girls, they seemed to think that she was going to die tomorrow.
However, Lu Chenshuang did not say anything to comfort them. If they couldn't even handle such a small matter, they would be even more confused if she really got into big trouble in the future. How could they expect these two girls to help them?
At the same time, in Zhuoyang Villa, all the guests had left. Princess Zhuoyang sat there with a sullen face. This Lu Chenshuang actually dared to ruin her good thing and didn't even give her face.
She had promised Xue Liu long ago that she would definitely let her win the first prize in this flower-viewing banquet and restore her reputation as the most talented woman in the capital.
But he was intercepted by Lu Chenshuang who suddenly appeared.
Princess Zhuoyang was annoyed with Lu Chenshuang and also angry at Xue Liu for not living up to her expectations.
I had already revealed the questions to her in advance, and she had prepared carefully, but she was still no match for Lu Chenshuang. It's not her fault that she's not as skilled as others.
When Princess Zhuoyang thought of this, she gradually became less angry.
She has already asked someone to reveal the rules to Lu Chenshuang's maid. I believe Lu Chenshuang should know it now. I hope she can be more sensible.
When those things are back in her hands, she can still make a small profit.
Princess Zhuoyang was very confident at this moment. She believed that none of these noble ladies in the capital would dare to disrespect her, Princess Zhuoyang, and disobey her rules.
