Chapter 576: Shen Juhua(1)_1
Cai Wei was invited into the mansion of the county magistrate, led by an old maid, towards the Small Flower Hall where Madam Cui usually stayed.
As they passed by the garden within the mansion, they saw a girl around fifteen or sixteen years old walking towards them.
The girl had a slightly round face, fair skin, and round eyes that were lively and spirited. Her hair was arranged in an Auspicious Cloud Bun with a Benevolent Wind Fan Hairpin tucked in on the side. She wore a cherry red brocade carved flower dress and a pair of Cloud Slik Embroidered shoes. Her entire attire was both noble and subtly elegant, clearly marking her as a young lady of a prominent family.
Indeed, upon seeing the girl, the old maid immediately stopped and saluted her, addressing her as "Eldest Miss!"
The Eldest Miss barely acknowledged the maid, but her round eyes were fixated on Cai Wei. She stared at Cai Wei with an unfriendly gaze and asked the maid, "Who is this? What is she doing at our home?"
The old maid replied, "Eldest Miss, this girl is a guest of Madam Cui’s and has come to visit her!"
"Oh, I see," the girl responded.
The young girl patted her chest as if she had just rid herself of a heavy burden, stuck out her tongue and laughed, "You gave me a scare. I thought you might be another concubine sent over by those flatterers for my dad!"
A concubine?
A vertical line appeared on Cai Wei’s forehead. Even though her demeanor was truly dignified, how could she still be mistaken for a concubine? Or was it that the Miss’s dad was frequently gifted concubines, so the girl saw every woman as a possible concubine?
