The Feast Part One

Chapter 16: Look Bad

"Stop saying inauspicious things! I am looking good!" Su Nuan Nuan tapped Xiang Yun on the shoulder and carefully kept the letter. Then she walked out of the door.

As expected from the top of the sun deck, she could see a group of women making their way here. Su Nuan Nuan glanced at the beans that she had scattered on the floor near the doorway to sun them, and shook her head as she muttered, "What a pity! These beans are prepared for Duan Tingxuan. But right now, someone else will fall into the trap that I had set for him, and allow that rascal to escape."

Xiang Yun and Hong Lian were standing behind Su Nuan Nuan. They were pale and frightened because of Madam Yun. But when they heard these words, their face turned white as a ghost.

Hong Lian stared at Su Nuan Nuan in disbelief. Her mouth quivered and moved, but no words came out. Her 'new' missy is someone who dared to kick the prince himself. Of course, she dared to disrespect and play a prank on Madam Yun.

The three of them just stood there and watch them from the sun deck. Xu Ran Yun wanted to pretend not to see them, but they were so obvious for all to see, and she could not do so.

She frowned and was angry and upset, but one of the grannies did not know anything and more fuel to the fire, "That Big Madam had no manners. How could she just stand there? As an unwanted wife, does she expect Madam Yun to greet her?"

Xu Ran Yun glared at this granny in fury. On whose side is this granny is standing on? These words are just a stab in the back for her. Everyone knows that Su Meng Nuan is an unwanted wife. However, the prince had not divorced her yet, and she is still the Big Madam.

The granny understood that she had said something inappropriate and immediately shut up. At this time, Feng Xian noticed that the great door is opened, and immediately asked, "Missy, the door is open, but we should mind our matter. Let me go and inform them that we are here and seek an audience with them."

Xu Ran Yun was very angry, and her maid words only infuriated her further. If she seeks an audience with an unwanted wife, then wouldn't she be admitting that her status is lower than Su Nuan Nuan?

She sneered, "How long had Mei Yue Lou been abandon for? The door is spoilt. Do we need to seek an audience? Since she dared to leave the door open, it means that anyone can go in or out. We just directly enter." Saying this, she immediately took the led and puff our her chest as she stomped through the door.

Su Nuan Nuan used her hands to cover her eyes and said, "I reckon that there will soon be a spectacle that will soon happen in front of us. But that scene is so pretty that I dare not look."

Hong Lian and Xiang Yun looked at her and rolled their eyes. "Dare not see? How come your fingers are so wide apart that it does not cover your eyes? You are looking on with impunity. Only their Missy could do this. She is a weirdo."

In the next moment, a piercing shriek rang out, and Hong Lian and Xiang Yun watched on in amazement. Madam Yun wobbled and flapped around as she tried hard to maintain her balance. Her clothes of all colours waved about wildly, like a rainbow in the cloud. But her efforts were in vain as she slipped and fell. But this is not the end.

For Xu Ran Yun is a strong willed woman, and is unwilling to remain sprawled on the floor. So she struggled to get up and the cycle repeated itself.

Looking at the pretty but vicious woman who repeatedly tried to stand up only to slip down hard again, Hong Lian and Xiang Yun opened their mouth and widen their eyes in amazement. They were so absorbed in watching the show that they had forgotten to rush over and help her up.

"This scene.... is really beautiful. It is so lovely that I dare not watch." Xiang Yun muttered.

On the door steps, it is not only Xu Ran Yun who was sprawled on the ground in an ungainly way. The maids and grannies also tried to help Xu Ran Yun up, only to meet the same fate as their missy.
