"You must be Yang Ruxin?" Yet, Wang Zhengzheng stepped forward to block the way, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Yes, I am Yang Ruxin." Yang Ruxin nodded with a smile.
Jiang Fangfei, who was ahead, also stopped and returned. She knew that with Shen Jiayin and Zuo Qingqing fanning the flas, Wang Zhengzheng might just find fault.
"You, a village girl, don’t know how to greet ?" Wang Zhengzheng frowned, "You really have no manners."
"May I ask, Miss Wang, what is your rank?" Yang Ruxin wasn’t angry at all, instead, she raised an eyebrow and looked over.
"Impudent!" Wang Zhengzheng exploded imdiately, "What right do you have to question ?"
Yang Ruxin was taken aback, did that really upset her? She didn’t seem to have said anything, only shrugging innocently.
"Madam Gu, this is Miss Wang, whom the Empress Dowager is very fond of. How can you be so rude?" Shen Jiayin made a helpless expression, "Even if Miss Wang has no rank, her status is above both yours and mine, so... just bow and apologize, and it’ll be over."
"Exactly, a country bumpkin, isn’t it just about growing a few radishes?" Zuo Qingqing sneered, "Really think you’re sothing? Ouch... who hit ?" As soon as she spoke, a stone hit her mouth, drawing blood instantly.
However, after shouting for a while, no one saw where the stone had co from.
Yang Ruxin gave Du Juan an appreciative look.
Du Juan arrogantly winked her left eye, dealing with such little girls was actually very simple, but unfortunately, the occasion was not appropriate.
"A foul mouth, even Heaven can’t stand it." Hen Ziyue suddenly spoke in a soft voice.
"You..." Zuo Qingqing frowned, but she really didn’t dare to offend Hen Ziyue, after all, who could guarantee they wouldn’t need the Imperial Hospital?
Shen Jiayin’s face also turned pale.
"Miss Shen, you are truly kind." Yang Ruxin glanced at Shen Jiayin, "And Miss Zuo, I can not only grow radishes but also sweet potatoes, and because of my radishes, the Empress Dowager rewarded with an estate, one with hot springs, and the Emperor... granted a gold dal."
Wang Zhengzheng’s heart was bleeding. The Empress Dowager had several estates that were quite good. When she ca of age this year, the Empress Dowager said she would prepare a dowry for her. Wang Zhengzheng had hoped for an estate with hot springs, as such estates were scarce around Beijing. She never thought that she wouldn’t get it yet, but this country bumpkin received it.
She couldn’t bla the Empress Dowager, so she could only put all the bla on Yang Ruxin.
If Yang Ruxin hadn’t stood out, would the Empress Dowager have rewarded her?
"Yang Ruxin, you hit !" Zuo Qingqing realized.
"Proof?"
"It was you, no proof needed."
"Say whatever you like." Yang Ruxin was very helpless, these were just little girls, why did they have so many issues? With the effort, couldn’t they do sothing better?
"You’re very unruly." Wang Zhengzheng spoke through gritted teeth, "This is the palace, not the countryside, where you can run wild. I saw it, you just hit Miss Zuo," she said with a wave of her hand, "Go, teach her a lesson, let her know the palace rules."
Instantly, two palace maids stepped forward.
"Wang Zhengzheng." Before Du Juan could move, Jiang Fangfei stepped forward, shielding Yang Ruxin behind her. Her face no longer had its previous gentleness, "Don’t take a feather for an imperial warrant."
