After Ruan san niang departed, Ruan Xi pretended not to see her maidservants exchanging pointed looks as she sighed emotionally with a smile.

“How could Mother ask san jie to borrow that jewellery set from me, her reputation would be terrible if that were to spread.

“Su Yu, Su Zhu, don’t you think so?”

She could roughly guess what her legitimate mother Zhang shi was conspiring. Wasn’t she trying to disgust her, and put her and Ruan san niang on the path of confrontation?

Ruan Xi refused to fall for the scheme.

Presently, the anger in Su Yu’s heart had yet to dissipate. When she heard her Young Lady’s utterance, she pursed her lips. “Who knows what Furen is thinking, she even tried to poison and harm the Young Lady in secret back when.”

In Su Yu’s heart, not only was the Furen malicious, but she was also vicious and merciless.

Su Zhu was of the same opinion. “Exactly, nubi feels like the Third Young Lady has no reason to lie.”

“Young Lady, should we divulge and spread this matter?” Su Zhu looked eager to give it a try.

Ruan Xi laughed softly in response, her gaze chilly. “Spread it, why shouldn’t we spread it? If I don’t make a single move, Mother will assume that I’m a soft bread roll.”

Who told Zhang shi to be ignorant towards Ruan san niang’s original disposition of being a pig teammate? If she did not pit her back, she would be wasting the chance that had been sent her way.

Even if Zhang shi learned of her involvement, she could only swallow that mouthful of anger, since Zhang shi did not want to have the reputation of having a narrow stomach.

“Young Lady can set her mind at ease, nubi will handle this appropriately.” Su Zhu and Su Yu answered in unison. The pair was extremely happy; after enduring for so long, their Young Lady finally acted.

Ruan Xi observed the high fighting spirits that the pair possessed, her lips curling up before she stood up to go back to her room for an afternoon nap.

She trusted that Su Yu and Su Zhu would not disappoint her.

After a private discussion between Su Yu and Su Zhu, they finally informed Mama Yang of their plan. Once they received Mama Yang’s affirmation, the pair executed their plan.

When they saw the most loose-mouthed Qian pozi within the residence walk past, the pair echoed each other as they deliberately complained about the fact that the Furen had allowed the Third Young Lady to borrow jewellery.

婆子 (pinyin: po zi) – older woman-servant.
Qian pozi’s eyes lit up upon hearing their complaint.

That would explain why she saw the Third Young Lady holding an additional jewellery case as she was walking out from Limpid Heart Garden; it turns out the Furen asked the Third Young Lady to go over to the Fourth Young Lady’s place to borrow the jewellery.

Qian pozi’s pupils shifted. She heard that the Third Young Lady would be attending Wen lao-furen’s longevity banquet tomorrow, which meant that the Third Young Lady borrowing the jewellery was most likely to be true.

Privately, Qian pozi gossiped excitably with the other older woman-servants at once and said older woman-servants proceeded to gossip with the other servants.

Once the news was propagated, the various yiniang in the residence learnt of it too. One after another, they pushed the wave and added to the billows in secret. In just a short afternoon, the rumours reached all ends of the Earl Residence.
