The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

The next day, Su Qingning and her family had just finished lunch when there was a knock on the door of Jinyuan.

Nanny Zhang walked over suspiciously and opened the door, only to be stunned by the scene outside.

"You...what are you doing?" asked Nanny Zhang in surprise.

Outside Jinyuan, Liu Ruyan's personal maid Xia He was standing at the front. Behind her, there were four maids each holding a square wooden box, and a dozen servants were carrying five large boxes.

"Madam Zhang, we are here to deliver something to the Third Miss on the orders of the Second Madam," Xia He replied.

"This..." Nanny Zhang was a little hesitant. She knew that Liu Ruyan had never liked Yun Ruopiao. In addition, after the last poisoning incident, she had become wary of everyone in the Su family. For a moment, Nanny Zhang didn't know whether to let these people into Jinyuan.

Fortunately, Su Qingning, who was in the courtyard, heard the noise outside and guessed that Liu Ruyan had sent someone to deliver something, so she shouted, "Madam Zhang, let them in!"

"Yes." Hearing Su Qingning's order, Aunt Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. She opened all the courtyard doors and said to Xia He and others standing outside Jinyuan, "Come in!"

"Yes, thank you, Mammy."

Xia He thanked Nanny Zhang, then led the maids and servants behind her into Jinyuan.

"Your servant greets the Third Madam, the Third Miss, and the Seventh Young Master." Xia He knelt down and saluted respectfully towards Yun Ruopiao, Su Qingning, and Su Qingyu.

Seeing this, the maids and servants behind her also followed suit and saluted, "This humble servant greets the Third Madam, the Third Young Miss, and the Seventh Young Master."

Seeing so many people suddenly appear, Yun Ruopiao hid behind Su Qingning timidly. As for Su Qingyu, he opened his big eyes and looked at Xia He and others curiously.

"Everyone get up!" Su Qingning said lightly.

"Yes, Miss Xie San." Xia He and the maids and servants stood up one after another.

Then, Xia He stepped forward, looked at Su Qingning and said, "Third Miss, I am here to deliver something to you on the orders of the Second Madam."

As she spoke, Xia He signaled the maids and servants to open the wooden boxes and chests.

"Pah, pah, pah..." With a few sounds, all the wooden boxes and chests were opened. Then, Aunt Zhang and Su Qingyu opened their mouths at the same time. Even Yun Ruopiao, who was hiding behind Su Qingning, secretly poked her head out with curiosity flashing in her eyes.

I saw that the five large boxes contained: a box of low-level spirit stones, a box of mid-level spirit stones, a box of gold and gems, and two boxes of cloth.

The wooden boxes in the hands of the four maids contained hairpins, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.

Su Qingning glanced at everything indifferently. From beginning to end, her eyes were very calm, without a trace of fluctuation.

Seeing this, Xia He couldn't help but be a little surprised. According to her and Liu Ruyan's guess, Su Qingning had lived in a remote place like Anyang County for the past four years, and she must have never seen these good things; and now, when she suddenly saw so many good things, she would definitely look like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and show a vulgar look.

But now, things seem to be different from what they imagined. Xia He doesn't know whether Su Qingning is really calm or just pretending.

However, no matter which situation it is, Su Qingning is not as easy to deal with as they think.

Xia He temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart. She walked up to Su Qingning, took out a silver card from the storage ring and handed it to Su Qingning.

"Miss Third, this silver card contains 300,000 gold coins. It is the monthly salary that should be distributed to Jinyuan for the past four years. Please keep it."

"Yes." Su Qingning took the silver card handed over by Xia He, casually put it into Su Qingyu's small hand, and said softly: "Xiaoyu, keep it."

"Okay, sister." Su Qingyu nodded obediently, then carefully hid the silver card in her clothes on her chest.

Seeing this scene, Xia He couldn't help but twitch her lips. This Third Young Lady was really careless. She just handed the silver card with 300,000 gold coins in it to a four-year-old child. Wasn't she afraid that the Seventh Young Master would lose it?

But Xia He had no idea that although Su Qingyu seemed to have stuffed the silver card into the clothes on his chest, he actually put the silver card into the space of his jade pendant.

It turned out that Su Qingyu had a jade pendant carved with dragon patterns hanging around his neck. This jade pendant was a gift from Wuji to him as a disciple. There was a small space inside the jade pendant that could be used to store items.

"Is there anything else you can do?"

Su Qingning's cold voice sounded slowly, and immediately brought Xia He back to her senses from the daze.

"Ah?" Xia He showed a puzzled expression, "Miss San, what did you just say?"

Su Qingning frowned, and her eyes turned colder as she looked at Xia He. She said impatiently, "I'm asking if you have anything else to do. If not, you can leave."

Seeing that Su Qingning was about to drive them away, Xia He suddenly panicked. Her mission was not completed yet, so how could she leave?

"Miss Third, wait a minute. Second Madam has something else for you." Xia He said as she took out a square wooden box from her storage ring. She carefully opened it and said with a smile, "Miss Third, this is the dress Second Madam personally picked out for you at Jinxiufang. I hope you like it."

Su Qingning lowered her eyes and saw a light green dress neatly folded in the wooden box. Judging from the fabric, it should be high-quality cloth. It must have cost Liu Ruyan a lot of spirit coins.

However, Su Qingning didn't believe that Liu Ruyan would be so kind as to personally choose a dress for her. There must be something wrong with this dress, or in other words, there was something wrong with everything delivered today.

A hint of indifference flashed across Su Qingning's eyes. She gently raised her eyes to look at Xia He and said softly, "This dress is very beautiful. I like it very much. Second aunt is really thoughtful. Sister Xia He, please help me thank Second aunt."

"Okay, I'll remember that." Seeing that Su Qingning liked it, Xia He's face immediately showed a happy smile. She smiled and reminded: "Miss San, please remember to try this dress. If there is anything that doesn't fit, please feel free to tell me and I will ask the embroiderer at Jinxiufang to make some changes for you."

"Okay, I understand." Su Qingning nodded and said with a smile, "I'll try it later."

Hearing this, Xia He didn't doubt it and quickly bent down to place the wooden box on the table. Then, she turned around and pointed at the maids who had come with her to Jinyuan, introducing them to Su Qingning one by one: "Third Miss, these are the maids chosen for you by the Second Madam: Chunyu, Xiamian, Qiuyue, and Dongxue. From now on, they will stay in Jinyuan to take care of you, the Third Madam, and the Seventh Young Master."

"Slave Spring Rain"

"Slave Hibernation"

"Slave Qiuyue"

"Slave Winter Snow"

"Greetings, Third Madam, Third Miss, and Seventh Young Master." Chunyu, Xiamian, Qiuyue, and Dongxue saluted in unison.
