Favoring a concubine and destroying the wife? I'll abandon my husband and children and wipe out

In comparison, the new earrings that Ye Ruyue had specially brought became worthless.

Ye Ruyue's face immediately turned ugly.

"I'm so sorry to have kept my cousin waiting." Cheng Nanzhi sat down and smiled slightly. "I just came back from Jinxiu Pavilion and wanted to try out my new jewelry, so it took me a while to get ready."

"I didn't expect you to come at this time, cousin. But you've come at the right time. Quickly, help your sister-in-law take a look. How is this set of jewelry? Is it presentable enough?"

Cheng Nanzhi's tone was sincere yet tinged with nervousness, which made Ye Ruyue feel even more choked up.

Cheng Nanzhi's set contains dozens of pearls, each one round and lustrous, of excellent quality and extremely beautiful.

She only had one pearl inlaid on her hairpin, and its quality was not even as good as the worst pearl in Cheng Nanzhi's hair ornaments!

Ye Ruyue dared not imagine how humiliating she would be in front of Cheng Nanzhi if she had worn that hairpin on a whim!

"Cousin?" Cheng Nanzhi called out to her.

Ye Ruyue forced a smile, "This outfit is excellent, and it suits you very well, sister-in-law."

“Miss, listen to me. I was right when I was at Jinxiu Pavilion. This set of clothes is perfect, but you still don’t believe me. Now even Miss Biao thinks so, so you should be relieved now.”

At this moment, Qingdai spoke up: "When those batches of cloud brocade clothes arrive and are paired with this headdress, you will definitely be the most beautiful woman at the banquet, and everyone who sees you will praise you!"

Ye Ruyue was taken aback: "Yun brocade? That Suzhou Yun brocade worth a thousand gold pieces??"

“Yes, only such material is worthy of my young lady. Other materials, such as Blue Sparrow Forge, are not even worthy of her attention,” Qingdai said naturally.

Ye Ruyue's face turned pale instantly.

Cheng Nanzhi took a sip of tea slowly before saying, "Alright, you're getting more and more out of control with your mouth. Who spoiled you with this reckless nature? Don't talk nonsense."

Qingdai muttered, "But what I said is not wrong. The materials used to make your clothes are all of the finest quality. Blue Sparrow Brocade is not worthy of being used by you."

Cheng Nanzhi pretended to scold, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll punish you. You're really not as composed and humble as usual."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Ruyue and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, cousin. My maid has been exposed to the world by me and has become quite naive. She looks down on ordinary things. This is not good. I will definitely train her properly in the future so that you won't have to laugh at me again."

Ye Ruyue couldn't even manage a smile: "It's normal for a sister-in-law of such high status to have such a maidservant by her side."

She couldn't stay any longer and got up to take her leave.

Cheng Nanzhi instructed her maid to see it out.

Just as Ye Ruyue was about to step out the door, she suddenly heard Cheng Nanzhi's voice, deliberately lowered as if afraid she would hear: "Go and punish yourself by slapping yourself twice. How can you say such things to your cousin in front of her? How can your cousin, who comes from a humble family, feel comfortable? She is all alone and helpless. We should take better care of her and make sure she doesn't feel uncomfortable in the mansion."

Qingdai hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, Miss. I didn't mean to embarrass you. It's just that everyone you associate with is extremely important. I'm used to seeing noble people, so I didn't think that you weren't... I won't do it again next time!"

Ye Ruyue felt as if she had been slapped in the face in public. She suppressed her anger and returned to her residence. As soon as she entered the door, she ripped off her earrings and threw them on the dressing table.

Sanmei quickly put it away, saying, "Miss, this is for your apprenticeship banquet, so it can't be damaged in the slightest."

"What's the use of damage? Compared to Cheng Nanzhi's, this is just junk!" Ye Ruyue said angrily. "Sanmei, go find Qian Yidong right now!"
