Chapter 630: Concubine Xiang and the Second Miss
“Eldest Miss, Madam Xiang, and Second Miss are here.” A maidservant came in and said.
Bai Zhenzhu made an ‘oh’ sound and immediately swept her eyes away on clothes and jewelry, to greet people.
The maidservant’s eyes, behind Bai Zhenzhu, rolled her eyes. Thinking that she was the eldest miss, how can she just agree to those people, calling that person Madam Xiang? She was obviously a concubine. It was only that woman who thinks of herself as the madam. No matter what she says, she’s Concubine Xiang. In front of the main wife, she was half like a servant, but this eldest miss rushed to the door to welcome her? How you see yourself will your status in this mansion in the future.
Pei Xiachen took Concubine Xiang’s hand, and the mother and daughter entered the room step by step. There were smile on their face, but their eyes were as cold as the wind at night.Bai Zhuzhu looked at the rich and powerful mother and daughter, knowing that she was a fake eldest miss, she felt guilty. Naturally, she felt small. She didn’t even dare to look at them directly. She slightly lowered her head and respectfully called: “Yiniang!”
Concubine Xiang lifted her chin and looked at Bai Zhenzhu, then sneered inside her heart. That’s it?
She gathered all her arrogant aura, stepped forward with a smile, held Bai Zhenzhu’s hand, then said with a smile: “How can the eldest miss show me this courtesy? Who can blame you?.”
Bai Zhenzhu didn’t understand this. The maidservants in her courtyard didn’t teach her. She thought that since she was called madam, she was her elder, so she should respect her.
Concubine Xiang didn’t say another word, she pulled her into the room. After scanning the things in the room, she smiled and asked, “Do you like these things? Master asked me to buy them for you, I don’t know what you like, so I bought things according to my preference. If you don’t like them, just tell me, I will let people send them away immediately.”
Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly waved her hand: “No need, these are all good. I like them very much, thank you.”
Concubine Xiang took her to sit down, and waved to Pei Xiachen: “Chen’er, come here, and greet your sister.”Pei Xiachen came over obediently, concealed the irony in her eyes, and paid Bai Zhuzhu greetings with a sweet smile: “Chen’er has seen my sister!”
Bai Zhenzhu got up, wanting to greet her back, but Concubine Xiang pushed her back in the chair: “She is your second sister. It’s only natural for her to pay courtesy to you. There is no need to greet her back.”
Bai Zhenzhu responded with a smile and then took a glance at Pei Xiachen. She said with an envious tone: “Second sister is really beautiful.”
When Concubine Xiang heard of it, she was very proud of herself. Pei Xiachen resembled her. Her skin was white and looked beautiful, which can be seen at a glance. So who would not boast her beauty?
Concubine Xiang said: “You also look good. Maybe the wind in the northwest is strong, so you don’t have white skin just like women in the capital, but it doesn’t matter. I will send you jade cream later. You apply it to your skin every morning and evening. Your white complexion will get back soon.”
Bai Zhenzhu was very happy to hear that. She had been envious of Bai Zhi’s white face. Since she was a child, she didn’t go out much, but she has a darker complexion.
“From now on, this will be your home, and you will be the eldest lady of the Changyuan Houfu. If you need anything or you find things you don’t like, just tell me, I will back you up.”
After hearing those words, Bai Zhenzhu was deeply moved. She thanked Concubine Xiang again and again. This, Madam Xiang seemed to be a really good person.
Concubine Xiang continued to say: “You will marry Prince Jin in the future. Don’t forget Chen’er by then. She is your only sister.”
Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly waved her hand: “Of course not, how could I forget my second sister? You’re my relatives from now on.”
