The Eldest Daughter is Delicate and Pretty, How Can She Be a Malicious Supporting Character - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Bad Luck

Xue Yiran touched the money pouch at her waist, feeling its weight.
Ah, this was the power of money.

She wanted to rush to the street to shop immediately, but her mind was preoccupied with the upcoming event. Suddenly, someone appeared from around the corner.

“Ow, my butt!”

Xue Yiran didn’t have time to react before she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. Her body involuntarily fell backward, and she landed on her hands and knees.

The rough ground scraped her palms, and the cool breeze made them sting.

“Ha, I didn’t expect it to be someone so careless. It’s you.”

Jinxin followed behind Xue Yiran and was startled by the sudden incident. She quickly rushed forward to help her up. “Miss, are you okay?”

Xue Yiran sat on the ground, unable to get up for a moment. Her good mood was ruined by this person.

The other party was still mocking her, looking down at her with disdain. Xue Yiran raised her head and saw the mockery in Xue Baohua’s eyes.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t Eldest Sister learn how to apologize after colliding with someone?”

With Jinxin’s help, Xue Yiran managed to stand up, leaning against the wall.

Xue Baohua felt disgusted as soon as she saw Xue Yiran. She hadn’t bothered her for days, which was already a favor. Now, Xue Yiran was the one who collided with her and still had the nerve to act so shamelessly.

She turned her head away, not wanting to look at Xue Yiran. After the spring, when Liu Rou entered the mansion, she would let them fight each other and hopefully, both would end up badly hurt.

Nongyu was a new maidservant of Xue Baohua’s. She had finally been assigned to serve the eldest miss and wanted to impress her. Seeing Xue Baohua’s disgusted expression, she knew she had to speak up for her.

“Third Miss, it was clearly you who wasn’t looking where you were going and collided with the eldest miss. Now you’re slandering her? Did Concubine Dan teach you manners like this?”

Xue Yiran looked at the maidservant, who had a mean-spirited face and a sharp tongue. She was indeed not a good person, given that she could serve Xue Baohua so well.

Jinxin pursed her lips. Since she followed Xue Yiran, she naturally wanted to speak up for her. However, she was timid and her voice weakened when she met the other party’s gaze. She whispered, “It was clearly the Eldest Miss who collided with our Miss…”

Before she could finish speaking, she was silenced by Xue Baohua’s piercing gaze.

“I told you, Third Sister, you should keep your eyes open when walking. Fortunately, I’m magnanimous, so I’ll let you off this time for your reckless words.” After saying that, Xue Baohua gave her a particularly disgusted look.

Xue Baohua had been behaving herself recently, only because she wanted to show her mother that she was well-behaved. Liu Rou had a point when she said that she was the legitimate daughter, and no matter how much Father favored Concubine Dan, Xue Yiran would never surpass her.

She had been behaving herself for some time, trying to repair Father’s anger towards her. She had angered the crown prince and although she had avoided some trouble, Father must still have a thorn in his side.

But just now, Xue Yiran had deliberately collided with her and was now demanding an apology. It was ridiculous. She had restrained her temper and didn’t go looking for trouble, but Xue Yiran was being defiant.

She didn’t know her place.

Watching Xue Baohua’s departing figure, Xue Yiran’s eyes flashed with hatred.

Toxic Eldest Sister, strict and indulgent mother. She would make them all pay!

Jinxin saw her expression and was shocked.
Third Miss, why did she look so vicious?
She seemed like she wanted to eat the Eldest Miss alive.

“Miss, maybe we shouldn’t go out today?” Jinxin was frightened and stuttered.

“No! Why should Xue Baohua ruin my mood? We’re going out now!”

She suddenly turned around and shouted, her face ugly, and Jinxin was startled.

When had her Miss ever been this angry?

“But… Miss, are you really okay? Your injuries…”

The other party had fallen so hard that Jinxin was worried.

“I said we’re going, and we’re going! What, Xue Baohua bullied me, and now you’re not listening to me either?”

Slap!

With a crisp sound, Jinxin’s fair face turned red and purple from the slap.

Xue Yiran’s face was filled with anger. How dare this maidservant disobey her?

But instantly, Jinxin knelt down, tears streaming down her face. “I’m sorry, Miss. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have spoken up.”

Somehow, seeing the other party kneel down and beg for mercy, Xue Yiran felt a rare sense of satisfaction.

No matter how Xue Baohua acted, she would make her regret what she did today.

“What’s with all the crying? Hurry up and follow me!”

It was almost the festival, and there were already vendors selling lanterns in the capital.

Jinxin covered her face, feeling wronged but forcing back her tears.

Xue Yiran had been angry all day because of Xue Baohua, and seeing Jinxin’s pitiful appearance, she felt frustrated.

But she didn’t care about Jinxin anymore and went to choose rouge and powder by herself.

“Jiaojiao, what do you think of the color of this rouge?”

On the second floor of Xiangxue Lane, Changle was holding a box of exquisite rouge, testing the color on her hand.

The proprietress beside them saw the situation and personally came over to greet them. “Oh, the Miss has a great eye for color. This shade is the latest peach blossom color of the year. When spring comes, the miss will be absolutely stunning with this rouge.”

Anyone who could open a shop in the capital had a discerning eye. They could tell at a glance what kind of person you were.

Although Changle knew the proprietress was flattering her, she couldn’t help but feel pleased.

Seeing Pei Lingyi nod, she smiled and said, “The proprietress is indeed good with words. The color is indeed nice, so I’ll buy it.”

“Oh my goodness, both of you young ladies are truly beauties. I’ve been running my shop, Lin Xiangxue, in the capital for many years, and I’ve seen countless people. But I’ve never seen anyone as divine as the two of you.”

“Hmph, the proprietress is indeed good with words.” Changle held Pei Lingyi’s arm and signaled to her maidservant to pay. Besides the cost of the rouge, they gave extra silver to the proprietress.

The proprietress was overjoyed and called them the Goddesses of Wealth.

However, as soon as they stepped down from the second floor, they saw a crowd gathered at the door, making a commotion.

From their perspective, they could clearly see Xue Yiran surrounded by the crowd.

Across from her was a slender man.

Even amidst the noisy crowd, they could hear his cold and clear voice, like the sound of pine trees in the snow: “I apologize, Miss. It was my fault.”
