Chapter 938 - 939 What does female overlord mean_1
Upon hearing that they were rewards from the palace, Ms. Hong quickly and deftly unearthed those few flowers from a pile of things, "Mingcui, is this it?"
"Yes, that’s the one!"
Seeing the flowers, Ms. Hong pulled Yang Dongxue to one side with a smile and said, "Dongxue, wear one of these, given to you by your sister from the imperial palace. Not every cousin has the privilege to wear such a thing."
Auntie Li, having been provoked by the coordination between Ms. Luo and Ms. Hong, left without even saying goodbye, storming off in a huff.
Ms. Hong and Ms. Luo exchanged a glance and, for the first time, discovered they had quite a bit of tacit understanding between them!
But soon after, when each thought of her position in the family, they each snorted coldly and turned away.
Ms. Hong thought to herself, Ms. Luo is not that foolish either.
Mingcui stood aside, finding the whole scene rather amusing.
"Mingcui, were these flowers really from the palace?" Ms. Luo inquired, pulling Mingcui aside.
"Yes!" Mingcui nodded, "A whole box of them. Madam let us distribute a few to each household to bring some novelty."
Hearing this, Ms. Luo hurriedly said, "Dongxue, come pick a few more, a young lady’s appearance should always be prettified."
Yang Dongxue was naturally pleased, while Ms. Hong, seeing the mother and daughter’s airs, snorted coldly, "I’ll pick two, and the rest are yours."
After hearing this, Mingcui took her leave. However, she thought to herself as she left, none of them are easy to deal with. Six fabric flowers in total—Ms. Hong wants two, and the rest go to Ms. Luo. It sounds like Ms. Hong is giving in to Ms. Luo and her daughter, but in reality, each person of the fourth branch, who can wear flowers, ends up with two—no loss for anyone.
When she was with the first branch, Ms. Liu engaged her in conversation, just as the situation unfolded within the fourth branch, which she overheard. It was quite amusing to hear them team up against Auntie Li.
After returning to the Ye Family’s side and relating the incident to Yang Chuxia, Yang Chuxia was utterly astonished.
"Did my fourth aunt really say all that?"
"It’s true, this servant heard it with her very own ears."
"Tsk, my fourth aunt actually said such things; that’s quite hard to come by. I didn’t expect her to be so aware. Well done, indeed." Pleased with Ms. Luo’s actions, Yang Chuxia cheerfully ordered, "Go fetch three silver hairpins from the red wooden box, and send one to each as a gift."
Seeing that they were all clever, it seemed that they should understand even better what she meant by sending this hairpin.
Indeed, when Mingcui delivered the hairpins to the old residence, Ms. Luo and Ms. Hong wondered why, after sending gifts earlier, there was now a special delivery of hairpins?
After seeing Mingcui visit the first branch, Ms. Luo questioned Ms. Hong, "What does this female overlord mean by that?"
Hearing the title "female overlord," Ms. Hong almost laughed out loud.
Ms. Hong thought to herself, what does it mean aside from acknowledging your good understanding of kinship? Of course, she wouldn’t tell Ms. Luo.
"Sister, if you don’t know, how would I?"
"You... Ms. Hong, you just wait, I’ll make you pay one day," Ms. Luo’s words were overheard just right by Ms. Hong as she returned.
Ms. Hong disdainfully curled her lip, "You better get your husband to settle your marriage first before you say that to me, otherwise..." Ms. Hong thought to herself, otherwise, once I have a child, I will be the one telling you to leave, and we’ll see who gets the short end of the stick then.
Hmph, even though the fourth branch is nothing special, and certainly cannot compare to the third branch, it’s still much more comfortable than the life I led before.
