When Jiujiu saw that Bi Lian's face was as red as a monkey's butt with just one sentence, she instantly knew what was going on.
Bi Lian had indeed hooked up with Yang Xian.
Since that was the case, she only needed to go with the flow. She didn't need to spend any effort to get Bi Lian and Yang Xian together.
Jiujiu's lips curled into a faint smile. "Since you don't want to say, I won't ask."
Coincidentally, Bai Lian had just finished combing her hair. Looking at the exquisite bun, Jiujiu was delighted. She casually picked up a hairpin and handed it to Bai Lian so that Bai Lian could help her put it on.
The hairpin inlaid with countless gems was placed on Jiujiu's head. Paired with a pair of round Eastern Pearl earrings, it made Jiujiu's skin glow.
Jiujiu opened the rouge box and gently dipped her finger in some rouge. She gently touched her lips and rubbed the rest of the rouge on her palm before applying it to her face. Her face was like a peach blossom, beautiful beyond compare.
Jiujiu was very satisfied with her current appearance. She stood up and said to Bai Lian as she walked out, "You've served me for an entire day. Go back and rest tonight. Bi Lian, you'll serve me tonight."
This was because Yang Xian had already told Bi Lian that he wanted to marry Jiujiu. Even though she knew that Jiujiu wasn't in the wrong, Bi Lian still felt disgusted by Jiujiu.
Bi Lian felt embarrassed at the thought that the man she liked wanted to marry Jiujiu and that she was Jiujiu's maidservant.
Jiujiu was high and mighty while she was just a maidservant that everyone stepped on. She had to rely on Jiujiu's charity to barely survive. Bi Lian felt nauseous at the thought of this. She wished that Jiujiu would disappear from the face of the earth. How could she be willing to serve Jiujiu?
Moreover, she wanted to be with Yang Xian in the future. Even if she was just a concubine, she still wanted a better status.
Yang Xian's mother valued status the most. If she knew that she used to be Jiujiu's personal maid, she would look down on her even more.
There were thousands of reasons in Bi Lian's heart, but they all led to the same conclusion: she did not want to serve Jiujiu dinner.
Bi Lian thought of Nan Xiang's attitude towards her and declined naturally, "Miss, I caught a cold last night and I'm not feeling well today. I'm afraid I can't serve you well. Why don't I let Bailian serve you for half a day?"
Bilian had done the same in the past.
At that time, Nan Xiang liked her and doted on her. She let her do whatever she wanted and did not say anything.
But Jiujiu was different.
Jiujiu didn't like ugly girls, but Jiujiu liked white lotuses.
Bai Lian was much more attentive than Bi Lian in taking care of Jiujiu. Whether it was the basic necessities of life, food, shelter, transportation, or even the most trivial matters, Bai Lian was able to take care of them properly. One day of Bai Lian's care was equivalent to five days of Bi Lian's.
Jiujiu doted on Bai Lian and wanted her to go back and rest.
Moreover, Bilian, as her personal maidservant, had disappeared early in the morning. At this moment, she was only asking her to serve dinner, yet she dared to refuse. Those who didn't know would think that she was the master and Jiujiu was the maidservant.
Bai Lian was the kindest. When she heard Bi Lian say that she was not feeling well, she immediately said, "Since Bi Lian is not feeling well, let me do it."
Although Bailian and Bi Lian were both Jiujiu's personal maidservants, Bailian was a hardworking and hardworking person, while Bi Lian was someone who liked to talk but was unwilling to do things. Bi Lian would often ask Bailian to do things in Nanxiang's name under Jiujiu's name.
Bai Lian worked hard and did things well, but in the end, Bi Lian was the one who got the short end of the stick.
Bai Lian was not good with words, but she was not a fool.
But for this kind of thing, there was no point in saying it or not, so she did not argue with Bi Lian.
At this moment, Bai Lian stood up and said that she wanted to serve Bi Lian not because she felt sorry for her, but because she was worried that Bi Lian was not well and could not serve Jiujiu well.
Bai Lian stood up and was willing to serve her because she was loyal, but Jiujiu was not willing to let Bai Lian suffer.
Jiujiu raised her hand to stop Bai Lian from speaking. "I said I'll let Bilian serve me, so Bilian will serve me. If you tire yourself out, who's going to comb my hair for me tomorrow?"
Jiujiu was willing to let her rest, so Bai Lian did not continue to insist.
On the contrary, Bi Lian, who was spoiled by Jiujiu, was treated like this by Jiujiu for the first time. Her face was instantly filled with grievances, as if Jiujiu had done something outrageous to let her serve her.
Jiujiu turned a blind eye to Bai Lian's grievances and just looked at her appearance in the mirror.
Bi Lian felt wronged for a while, but she did not see Jiujiu looking at her. When she looked up, Jiujiu was almost at the door.
She had already reached the door, but Bi Lian did not follow her. Jiujiu turned sideways and looked at Bi Lian, who was standing there with a grievance and thinking about something. Her face darkened, "What, do you want me to invite you before you come?"
Nan Xiang really treated Bi Lian as a sister. Even if she was not comfortable in her heart, she would still consider Bi Lian's feelings. She had never said a harsh word to Bi Lian.
At this moment, Jiujiu not only said harsh words, but also obviously treated Bi Lian as a servant. Bi Lian, who was used to being treated as a sister by Nan Xiang and had never felt that she was a servant, couldn't bear it.
Bi Lian's eyes instantly turned red. Although she walked towards Jiujiu, she looked humiliated, as if Jiujiu was forcing her.
Jiujiu looked at Bi Lian's uncomfortable expression and sneered in her heart.
A girl who was almost sold to a brothel by her father was treated as a sister by Nan Xiang for a few days. Did she really think that her status was as noble as Nan Xiang?
When Nan Xiang treated her as a sister, she would have a noble status. Nan Xiang was not willing to let her be. It turned out that her status was what it was.
Bi Lian thought that she was a phoenix without feathers and was inferior to a chicken, but she never thought that she was not a phoenix in the first place. She was originally a chicken.
When Jiujiu brought Bi Lian to the hall, the others had already arrived.
Li Guiqin looked at Jiujiu, who looked even more beautiful after dressing up, and was very happy.
Li Guiqin smiled and said, "Your nose is sharp. You know that it's time to eat."
Jiujiu smiled sweetly. "Who asked Mother to be so good at cooking? I can smell the fragrance of Mother's beef stew from two yards away."
Li Guiqin and Nan Dongbei were very simple and honest.
Although Yang Xian had shown signs of lust just now, during the afternoon break, Li Guiqin and Nan Dongbei pondered for a while and felt that it was normal for Yang Xian to be dazed since it was their first meeting. Moreover, their daughter was so beautiful.
Moreover, Nan Xi was their relative. She should not have any other thoughts, so the two of them didn't take it to heart.
The Nan family originally fled from other places. Only Nan Ergou and his brother were left. After Nan Ergou passed away, the only ones who were truly related were Nan Dongbei and Nan Xi.
