Chapter 3 Apology

  In response to Meng Fu Ying's request, Qing Zhu did not disturb the Empress Dowager since she indeed had nothing much to do, and instead carefully took care of her.

  Although Bai Yichen's swing was very powerful, fortunately, it did not cause a fracture or any serious injury. After resting for a night, his body didn't hurt that much anymore. His spirit also improved a lot.

  She had the habit of getting up early, and when she got out of bed, Qing Zhu hadn't arrived yet. She walked in front of the mirror, yesterday Qing Zhu was there all the time, and she didn't even have a chance to see what this look was like now.

  When she saw her reflection in the mirror, even she herself was startled by how ugly it looked. This appearance was indeed too unattractive, with dark skin that was several shades darker than most men's. As the saying goes, "One white can cover three uglinesses," but when a woman is dark-skinned, her radiance is greatly discounted. Moreover, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, which had also diminished their original luster.

  Lan's hand involuntarily swept towards her face, but when her hand touched the skin on her face, it suddenly stiffened. This feeling was wrong!

  Although the skin feels no different from that of ordinary people, she can feel that there is definitely something wrong with the skin due to her extremely keen senses.

  Her eyes sparkled slightly as she quickly took over the basin and began to wash her face, but after washing for half a day, there was no change at all.

  Her eyes slowly narrowed, and a faint cold smile was drawn at the corner of her lips, but she just used some waterproof stuff.

  Could this little trick be difficult for her too?

  A moment later, she stood in front of the mirror again, and saw the face reflected in the mirror. She was stunned for a moment. She had grown up so big and seen beauties, but she had never seen such a beautiful person. It could be said that Meng Ruxue was indeed an absolute beauty.

  But compared with this face, Meng Ruxue was probably not even one-tenth of it.

  At this moment, she really couldn't find a word that could describe her beauty.

  But why does such a beautiful face exist?

  She recalled her original foolishness, and a cold glint flashed quickly in Meng's slightly narrowed eyes. This was probably the conspiracy of some people, but now, she couldn't afford to alarm the enemy.

  And she suddenly became smart again, and then suddenly changed her appearance, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

  The Meng Fu Ying's silent and motionless voice re-painted its original appearance.

  "Master, what are you doing?" Qing Zhu looked at her getting up early in the morning, messing around with these small bottles, but didn't know that these small bottles were all filled with something and used for what. After Master recovered, she became curious.

  "Prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain our guests." Meng Fu Ying replied casually while busy.

  What a feast? She only saw these small bottles and the strange foam inside them, didn't see what kind of feast it was, and who would come to visit them anyway?

  The Marquis has not returned yet, and the Empress Dowager has been feeling unwell for the past few days, so it's unlikely that anyone will come.

  Meng Fu Ying ignored her and continued to busy herself, believing that it wouldn't be long before 'guests' arrived, 'distinguished guests' at that, and she naturally wanted to treat them well.

  Looking at the small bottles in front of her, Meng Fuyao slightly furrowed her brow, as if something was still missing.

  She slightly turned her gaze, and when she saw the group of ants at the foot of a nearby tree, her eyes suddenly lit up. She thought to herself, "That's it." Those ants were not black, but rather had a reddish or brown color, which was a type of red fire ant.

  The tail sting is poisonous and will blister after being stared at.

  Meng Fu Ying picked up an empty bottle and quickly walked to the tree, using two branches to swiftly scoop ants into the bottle.

  "Miss, what are you doing?" Several maids gathered around, all with puzzled expressions.

  Bamboo is also full of doubts.

  "Sister, Feng and Bai have come to visit you especially to apologize for what happened yesterday." Just then, Meng Ruxue's soft and gentle voice floated over.

  At this moment, three people have walked in.

  Meng Fu's shadow was seen catching ants one after another.

  Meng Ruxue's eyes were even more puzzled, what was she doing?

  This morning, she deliberately had someone call Feng Yuxuan and Bai Yiyu, just wanting to let the two of them come and help her probe this fool's true intentions.

  The green bamboo-like eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across her face, but she couldn't really drive the person away.

  She simply ignored him as if she hadn't heard him at all and continued catching ants.

  "Little sister, yesterday's matter was my fault. I shouldn't have dodged. If I hadn't dodged, Brother Chen wouldn't have accidentally hurt you while trying to protect me." Feng Yulan forced a smile onto her face and walked in front of Meng Fuying, speaking softly, but the gaze she directed at Meng Fuying was full of disdain.

  Meng Ruxue also said she's no longer foolish, but rather more foolish than before.

  It sounds like an apology at first, but it actually shifts all the blame onto Meng Fuying.

  Meng Fu Ying was still very serious and focused on picking up her own ants, completely ignoring her.

  Qing Zhu listened to her anger, but saw Meng Fu's shadow motionless and silent, so she stood quietly by her side. Watching her pick up ants.

  Feng Yuxiang and Bai Yiyu, no matter how dissatisfied they were in their hearts, did not dare to erupt with Qing Zhu standing there.

  Qing Zhu is the most capable and trusted palace maid by the Empress Dowager's side, who was specifically instructed to take care of Meng Fu Ying.

  Even if they were palace maids, these young ladies would still be too much for them to handle.

  "Green bamboo, guests have arrived, but you don't even go to pour a cup of tea." Meng Ruxue knew that Green Bamboo was not going to tidy up the fool, so she spoke softly again.

  "Go." Just as Qing Zhu was about to instruct the maid beside him to pour tea, Meng Fu Ying suddenly spoke up. A very soft voice, yet it gave Qing Zhu a strong sense of confidence, and the worries in his heart also dissipated with these two light words.

  She thought that her master had his reasons for sending her away at this moment, so she respectfully replied, "Yes."
