When Nan Xi was boasting about Yang Xian, Yang Xian felt that he was as young and promising as Nan Xi said. However, when Jiujiu exposed him, Yang Xian's face burned.
Fortunately, Jiujiu only said that one sentence and didn't say anything else. She lowered her head and focused on eating.
Looking at Jiujiu's beautiful appearance, Yang Xian's heart burned. Originally, he suspected that Jiujiu was deliberately making him look bad. Jiujiu suddenly felt that since her cousin was so good-looking, she couldn't have said that on purpose.
During the meal, Yang Xian was only focused on Jiujiu and didn't look at Bi Lian at all.
This made Bi Lian, who felt that she was already Yang Xian's woman and that she was going to marry Yang Xian sooner or later, feel very wronged.
She and Yang Xian were clearly a match made in heaven. However, because of her parents' matchmaking, Yang Xian could only marry Jiujiu. As for her, who was supposed to be Yang Xian's wife, she could only be an aggrieved concubine.
When she thought about how Jiujiu had made her look bad, Bi Lian felt even sadder. By the time dinner was over, Bi Lian's eyes were red.
Bi Lian was still young. Although she had some thoughts, her thoughts were as transparent as a piece of paper in front of Nan Xi.
Moreover, she didn't hide the way she stared at Yang Xian. Nan Xi wasn't blind. How could she not see that this servant girl had taken a liking to her son?
Nan Xi didn't think that her son had anything to do with this servant girl. She simply thought that this servant girl had taken a liking to Yang Xian and wanted to seduce him.
If she didn't want to pull Jiujiu and Yang Xian together, it wouldn't be a big deal for Yang Xian to take in a servant girl.
However, she wanted to pull Jiujiu and Yang Xian together, but Jiujiu's servant girl was seducing Yang Xian. She was really an unruly vixen.
Nan Xi glared at Bi Lian fiercely.
However, Bi Lian only cared about being sad. She was sad that Jiujiu treated her like this. She was sad that the man she liked was going to marry a woman who bullied her. She was sad that her man didn't protect her when she was being bullied and even wanted to cut ties with her.
Bi Lian felt like his heart was about to break.
Bi Lian missed Nan Xi's vicious glare, but Jiujiu, who had been staring at Nan Xi the whole time, could sense Nan Xi's displeasure towards Bi Lian. She laughed inwardly and lowered her head to continue eating seriously.
After dinner, Jiujiu took the initiative to say that she was tired and wanted to go back to rest.
Nan Xi had just lost face, so naturally, he would not take the initiative to keep Jiujiu.
Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin had just realized that Nan Xi wasn't as close as they had imagined, so their attitude towards Nan Xi had become much colder. Naturally, they didn't want their precious daughter to have too much relationship with this scheming relative, so they allowed Jiujiu to marry Nan Xi.
Since Jiujiu wanted to leave, Bilian naturally had to follow.
Compared to Jiujiu's suave turn, Bi Lian looked at Yang Xian with deep eyes and left reluctantly.
Because Yang Xian had been looking at Jiujiu the whole time, he naturally received Bi Lian's deep gaze.
Although he could sense Bi Lian's resentment, Yang Xian only turned his head away indifferently. It was obvious that he didn't want others to know about their relationship.
Bi Lian's eyes turned red from the hurt again.
What made Bi Lian even more upset was that after Jiujiu returned, she didn't empathize with her at all. She continued to make her busy. She helped her wash up, helped her sleep, and even made her keep watch at night.
Bi Lian was used to being treated like a servant by Nan Xiang. She really thought of herself as a young miss.
Wasn't a servant girl supposed to wait on people and help keep watch at night?
Bi Lian was a servant girl with a young miss' heart. She couldn't voice out her grievances, so she could only suppress it in her heart.
Once a person suppressed their anger, it was easy to get heaty.
When a girl in her youth got heaty, it was easy for her to get pimples.
The next day, Bi Lian had several pimples on her face. They were red and didn't hurt much, but they were a little unsightly.
Bi Lian knew that her status was low. The most valuable thing on her body was her face.
Bi Lian didn't care about the anger in her heart and went to find Jiujiu to ask for ointment.
This ointment was bestowed by the Emperor.
The Emperor was very good to Nan Dongbei's family. He would always remember to reward them with something during the holidays. From the previous Emperor until now, the Emperor was tired of rewarding people with gold, silver, and treasures. Some time ago, the Emperor suddenly remembered that there was a girl in Nan Dongbei's family. He specially gave her a large amount of ointment to beautify her face. It was said that there was a limited supply in the palace, but he directly sent dozens of bottles to Nan Xiang.
Nan Xiang was born beautiful and she was still young. Her natural posture was already beautiful enough. Naturally, she didn't need the ointment. The ointment was naturally placed in the storeroom to collect dust.
Bi Lian wanted to use it, but she was just a servant. Even her master hadn't used it before. She could only pity Nan Xiang for wasting such a precious gift.
But now.
There was a pimple on her face that ruined her appearance. Just when she wanted to win over Yang Xian, the appearance of this pimple was simply taking her life.
Bi Lian couldn't care less that Jiujiu didn't want her to use it.
Jiujiu, who was letting Bai Lian comb her hair, revealed a shocked expression when she heard Bi Lian's request.
Bai Lian was so shocked that she pulled out a few strands of Jiujiu's hair.
Jiujiu hissed in pain. She waved her hand to indicate that she was fine. She looked at Bi Lian, who had several pimples on her face, and said, "That ointment was bestowed to me by the Emperor."
In other words, it was something that belonged to her. What right did a servant like her have to use it?
Even Bai Lian understood the meaning behind Jiujiu's words, but Bi Lian couldn't. She only knelt on the ground and cried, "Miss once told this servant that you've been alone since you were young and didn't have any sisters. You said that this servant is just like your sisters. The ointment is dead, but the person is alive. Also, this servant only wants to use a little and doesn't want all of it. Miss is making all sorts of excuses now. Does this servant not see this servant as a sister?"
Bi Lian's words made Bai Lian a little embarrassed.
You keep calling yourself a servant. It's obvious that your status is worlds apart from Miss. You want Miss to see you as a sister? You're dreaming.
Jiujiu was also amused by Bi Lian's words.
Not to mention that the ointment was bestowed by the Emperor, even Nan Xiang herself couldn't bear to use it. How could Bi Lian have the face to ask for a bottle?
Also, Master said that she would treat you as a sister. If Master is willing, you are a sister. This is Master's grace.
If Master isn't willing, you are still mud that can be trampled on by others.
Also, Nan Xiang really did treat Bi Lian as a sister. But in the end?
Nan Xiang was killed by her and Yang Xian.
It was foolish enough to ask a tiger for its skin once. How would she dare to do it a second time?
Bi Lian kept calling herself a servant, a servant, but her tone was firm. It was as if Jiujiu was breaking her promise if she didn't give her the ointment.
