The Buddha's consecration was at noon. In fact, they didn't need to go to the front because it was full of men.
The womenfolk had to sit in the meditation hall and recite scriptures. This time, the old madame saw Lin Qianzi, the female lead.
She was really a beauty in women's clothing. However, Bai Xiangxiu touched her face and proudly felt that in terms of appearance, her face was much better than the female lead's.
The old madame seemed to be satisfied with Lin Qianzi, and the two sides also chatted.
In fact, the book didn't go into detail. The main story only started when Lin Qianzi ran away from the marriage.
As for Bai Xiangxiu, although she was an accident, she was still a foil.
Her position was below the cousin Yu Xiaoshu, and she was almost squeezed to the point that there was no place to stand.
In addition, she tried her best not to attract attention. Although she was a beauty, she didn't attract many jealous gazes.
However, Yu Xiaoshu looked down on the female lead Lin Qianzi. Her eyes looked as if she wanted to eat her up.
The female lead Lin Qianzi looked at her intentionally or unintentionally.
But why did she look so hurt? I really didn't do anything to her!
Could it be that the reason why the female lead was always used as cannon fodder was because the female lead was jealous of their appearance?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. She lowered her head and buried her troublesome face.
In fact, Madame Lin didn't think highly of their Wangfu's actions. After all, they actually brought a concubine who couldn't be seen in public on such a big day.
However, she was also well-behaved. She stood behind people without saying anything and looked like a soft-hearted person. She didn't look like someone who would bully her daughter.
She gently patted her daughter's hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
Then, she gave a look to a servant girl and she quietly walked out of the crowd.
Lin Qianzi knew what her mother was thinking. She couldn't help but frown and whisper: "Mother, don't make things difficult for her. She's a good person." She had helped her in the Wangfu before, but she didn't reveal her identity.
"Don't worry, I'm just testing her."
Mrs. Lin smiled gently. In fact, she was worried about her daughter. She was too kind and would hurt herself sooner or later.
Before she entered the door, he had to eliminate all her enemies.
On the other side, although Bai Xiangxiu didn't hear their conversation, she seemed to understand something because the female lead's gaze kept drifting towards her with pity in her eyes.
On the other hand, Madam Lin's eyes were filled with viciousness, and there was a trace of a cold smile on her lips.
Thinking about how a concubine like her shouldn't have come here in the first place, Madam Lin must be panicking in her heart. This time, she might be in trouble.
Should he resist?
It was better not to. If she resisted, she didn't know if she would anger the mother and son who liked to beat people to death at such an important occasion. Secondly, the supporting male lead liked the Holy Mother and Little White Lotus.
Back then, the female lead was bullied by the Old Madame and the other concubines in the Wang Fu, so she attracted his tender affection. This tender affection slowly turned into deep love.
Why not just accept it?
Suddenly, her back was touched by someone.
She rolled her eyes at the sky and turned her head. Actually, in the shadows, she already knew that if she turned her head, she would definitely bump into something behind her. That thing seemed to be a Buddha statue.
No matter what it was, since it was taken out for her to touch, she would naturally make the Lin Family go bankrupt.
Thus, what was originally a light bump became a strong bump, and the tray in the servant girl's hand was all knocked over.
This time, not only her, but everyone present was stunned.
The two Buddha statues and the glass beads all fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. The jade Buddha statue that the servant girl had prepared didn't get thrown down in time and was still in her hand.
But everyone could see that the one in her hand was the least valuable one. The ones on the ground were worth at least a thousand taels of silver ah!
Bai Xiangxiu saw that no one had reacted, so she quickly knelt on the ground and looked at the Old Madame in panic.
"Old Madame, this concubine didn't do it on purpose, really didn't do it on purpose.
I felt someone bump into me from behind, so I turned my head. I didn't think, I didn't think … Wuwuwu … "
Rushing to cry, rushing to admit her guilt, there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?
Look, she was so scared that her entire body was trembling. How pitiful.
The Old Madame frowned. She looked at the things on the ground and then looked at the servant girl who was looking at Madame Lin in a daze. Her heart turned cold.
There were so many paths to the side, but she walked behind Madame Bai and bumped into someone. This was clearly intentional.
She was just a concubine, was there a need to be so narrow-minded?
Her daughter had married into the family, could it be that she didn't allow her son to have other women by his side?
"How could you be so careless?" The Old Madame's voice was stern, but she didn't blame her too much.
Madame Lin's heart ached. Hua 'er, this useless servant girl, she would sell her when she went back. She couldn't even do such a small thing well.
Hua 'er also saw that her master's gaze wasn't right. She quickly knelt down and said nervously, "Madame, I, I … didn't do it on purpose. I … I didn't think that she would suddenly turn her head."
"Speak properly."
Madame Lin scolded. Hua 'er calmed down and said, "It's all her fault. If she hadn't suddenly turned her head, this servant definitely wouldn't have broken these treasures. Madame, please help me."
"It wasn't me, it was an accident." Bai Xiangxiu secretly twisted her leg. Tears flowed down.
She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, pitiful.
Especially the female lead. She said while feeling sad, "Mother, they didn't do it on purpose. Why don't we just let it go?"
Madame Lin glared at her daughter. How did she give birth to such a wastrel? Things worth a few thousand taels were gone just like that. No matter what, she had to test this concubine's depth!
Thus, she frowned and said, "Come, take Hua 'er away. Go back and deal with her.
As for this person from the prince's estate … what else do you have to say? "
She looked at Bai Xiangxiu. She was only crying, but she kept begging the Old Madame for mercy. It seemed that she was scared to death.
She smiled contemptuously. She didn't expect her to be such a weak person. If she had known, she wouldn't have tried.
She originally wanted to give up a worthless jade Buddha, but she didn't expect …
The more she looked at those things, the more distressed she felt. She couldn't help but grit her teeth. Today, she must peel off a layer of skin.
The Old Madame didn't say anything. She only showed a look of pity.
Although Yu Xiaoshu didn't like Bai Xiangxiu's thick skin, she disliked the main wife, Lin Qianzi, who was about to enter the family even more. She couldn't help but laugh and say, "I don't know if she deliberately bumped into them."
Her words hit the nail on the head. When everyone saw this, they all looked at Lin Qianzi. This person hadn't even married into the family yet, and she was already showing off her power to the concubine. Wasn't it a bit early?
The Old Madame said, "Shut up, Madame Lin. It was Madame Bai who was reckless.
This older sister will apologize to you on her behalf. Our prince's estate will pay for these things. "
What, the prince's estate will go bankrupt?
That wasn't worth it. Obviously, she wanted the Lin family to go bankrupt.
Thus, she immediately said, "It wasn't this concubine. This concubine really didn't do it on purpose. If Madame Lin wants to punish me, just punish me. Otherwise, this concubine will give all of my assets to the Lin family to compensate."
