The onlookers never expected that in the end, that slap would land on Miss Yang's face. Their expressions as they looked at Mu Fengqie were quite something.
"You actually dared to slap me! You're just tired of living!"
"That's right! Let's go back and report this to the master and the mistress. They will never let you off!" The maid imitated Miss Yang and started flailing about.
Hearing this, Mu Fengqie burst out laughing. "How old are you, miss? Only kids would resort to telling their parents like this."
Mu Fengqie's words made the onlookers burst into laughter. Miss Yang's face darkened visibly.
She was the long - awaited daughter and the legitimate daughter of the family. She was the only daughter in the Yang family, so she had been doted on endlessly since childhood. Everyone in the Yang family spoiled her, which was why she had developed such an overbearing personality.
She had never been so aggrieved or so humiliated before. Now she just wanted to cut Mu Fengqie into pieces and throw her into the river to feed the fish.
"What's your name? What do your family members do?" Yang Qing asked, sticking out her chin.
Mu Fengqie replied indifferently, "My surname is Mu. As for the rest, I'm afraid I can't tell you."
After saying that, Mu Fengqie left. She was in a hurry to deliver lip balms to the rouge shop. She didn't have time to waste with Yang Qing.
When Yang Qing returned to the mansion, she flew into a rage, causing chaos throughout the Yang Mansion. The maid watched nervously from the side.
"That damned woman surnamed Mu. I will surely make her die a miserable death! Go and find out for me who this woman is. I will make her know what will happen if she dares to oppose me!"
After hearing some news from the servants, Father Yang rushed over to see Yang Qing. He saw that Yang Qing's left cheek was completely swollen. It was almost unrecognizable. Her fair face had now become pink and bloated, looking no different from a pig's head.
"My precious daughter, what happened? Who dared to slap my precious daughter?" Father Yang asked worriedly.
Seeing her beloved father, Yang Qing began to feel wronged again. "I was so humiliated today, Father. I must make that bitch suffer!"
"Who on earth dared to bully my precious daughter? They must have a lot of nerve. Qing'er, just tell your father. Your father will surely avenge you."
Hearing Father Yang's words, Yang Qing was about to blurt out Mu Fengqie's name, but then she remembered what Mu Fengqie had said, so she swallowed the words back.
"It's nothing. I can handle this myself. Don't interfere in my affairs from now on."
Just thinking about this made Yang Qing furious. In the Southern Qing Dynasty, no one had ever dared to disobey her or oppose her like this. Mu Fengqie was the first. If she didn't get revenge, she would never be able to get over this hatred.
Father Yang was very surprised by Yang Qing's behavior. "Daughter, what's wrong with you? Is someone threatening you? Who on earth bullied you? Just tell your father. Your father will get justice for you. Your father will never allow anyone to bully his daughter."
Yang Qing was really strange today. In the past, she would have been eager to tell the name of the person who had offended her, but today she kept her mouth shut and even told him not to interfere in her affairs in the future. It was really strange!
However, Father Yang guessed that the change in his daughter's personality was related to the slap on her face. His precious daughter had been doted on since childhood, and no one had ever slapped her before. Just thinking about it made Father Yang want to bring the culprit to justice.
"Don't worry about this. I'll tell you if I can't handle it myself. Now, I want to be alone. Please go back."
After saying that, Yang Qing unceremoniously drove Father Yang out. This time, she wouldn't rely on anyone. She wasn't a child. She couldn't go running back to her parents every time she was wronged. As the eldest miss of the Yang family, she surely had a way to teach that woman a lesson!
After delivering all the lip balms, Mu Fengqie rushed back to the Yingchun Tower. Today, she was going to focus on training Xinyue and Yushu. One day was simply not enough for them.
"From today on, you need to change your appearance, posture, and every look in your eyes. As long as you can learn, there shouldn't be any major problems with the Yingchun Tower."
Mu Fengqie pinned all her hopes for the Yingchun Tower on these two girls. To be honest, the other girls were simply not presentable. Moreover, rarity is precious. Two top - ranking courtesans were enough.
Xinyue and Yushu both agreed. Under Mu Fengqie's guidance, they had made some progress. Their demeanor was completely different from before.
Mu Fengqie was quite satisfied with the two top - ranking courtesans she had chosen. Their comprehension ability was okay, and they were quite perceptive. At this rate, they would probably be successfully transformed in less than half a month.
...
The secret guards that the empress had sent to follow Mu Fengqie reported the situation to the empress almost every day, telling her every little detail.
"Are you saying that she had a conflict with the Yang family's miss today and even slapped her?" the empress asked in disbelief.
The empress knew how overbearing the Yang family's miss was. The Yang family was a distant relative of the empress, so on ordinary days, the empress hardly ever interfered in the Yang family's affairs. She turned a blind eye to the overbearing behavior of the Yang family's miss.
But the overbearing nature of the Yang family's miss was well - known. Usually, it was other women who were bullied. Today, it was actually the Yang family's miss who was on the receiving end.
This was what puzzled the empress. It seemed that this woman was quite bold. The Yang family's methods were extremely cruel. Mu Fengqie was in great danger now that she had offended the Yang family...
Thinking of this, the empress burst into laughter. Suddenly, as if she had remembered something, she widened her eyes and then showed a look of sudden realization.
"Since that woman has offended the Yang family, the Yang family will surely not let her off. Why don't I help the Yang family out and kill two birds with one stone?" As she said this, the empress laughed.
She had been waiting for this day for a long time. As long as this annoying woman completely disappeared from the world, the white moonlight in her heart would surely return to her side.
It was just Mu Fengqie's bad luck that she had offended the wrong person. The empress was just going to play the game of killing with a borrowed knife. If Mu Fengqie was really killed, no one would ever suspect her.
