Chapter 302: Glass
The woman in front of her told her without any concealment: "I am the adopted daughter of the old eunuch you mentioned, named Liuli."
Song Miqiu kept looking at the woman in front of him. The old eunuch was so old, yet he had taken in such a beautiful adopted daughter.
"Oh... then please have a seat. They've gone out to talk. They'll be back in a bit." Song Miqiu admired the beauty for a while, then she went back to eating.
Liuli saw that Song Miqiu seemed not to care about him.
She then deliberately put on a shy expression and said, "My godfather told me to serve Young Master Yu well."
Upon hearing that she was to serve Yu Huailin, Song Miqiu slowly stood up and circled around Liuli, saying, "How do you plan to serve him?"
Liuli could also sense that Song Miqiu was a little jealous.
“Serving her? Of course, I’d marry her and become her concubine,” Liuli said happily.
"She wants to be a concubine again. There are too many people who want to be her concubine. There was another one yesterday."
Song Miqiu was furious. What was wrong with Yu Huailin? Why was another woman wanting to marry him as a concubine? Everyone seemed willing to be a mistress.
Without hesitation, Liuli said, "Young master, you are handsome, and countless women want to marry you."
"Why not be the principal wife instead of a concubine? Then you'll have to put up with the first wife's attitude." Song Miqiu said, poking Liuli in the heart with annoyance.
Liuli wasn't angry, because she knew very well what Yu Huailin's status was and what her own status was; she wasn't qualified to be his legal wife.
“I don’t want anything from you, young master. I just want to marry you. I don’t care about status. I’d be willing to be a foot-washing maid.”
Song Miqiu smiled coldly. What kind of drug did Yu Huailin give this woman? First there was Liu Xiaoyue, and now there's Liuli. It's like she's been blessed with many suitors.
"What, you old woman, do you think you can compete with me for Young Master Yu?" Liuli's eyes were full of contempt.
Song Miqiu was furious and wanted to vent his anger on Yu Huailin. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to suffer this humiliation.
"You're the old woman..."
"Have you ever looked in the mirror? Look at how wrinkles have almost covered your face."
Song Miqiu was even more furious when she heard this, as she herself was clearly as beautiful and charming as a flower.
"Young Master Yu is only staying at your house temporarily, how could he possibly like an old woman like you?" On her way here, Liuli had already been told by her servants about Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin.
Liuli also knew that Yu Huailin could never possibly like an old woman.
"Whether you like it or not is none of your business. Mind your own business," Song Miqiu retorted without any politeness.
Song Miqiu didn't want to waste any more time with Liuli and wanted to go find Yu Huailin, but Liuli, knowing her intentions, quickly blocked her way.
"Why are you so angry? You're an old woman, yet you dare to dream of getting involved with Young Master Yu," Liuli said relentlessly.
“It’s your business if you want to marry him, but he might not marry you.” Song Miqiu turned around, her confidence undiminished.
“Even if he won’t marry me, he definitely won’t marry you. I advise you to recognize your own status; you are not worthy of Young Master Yu.”
"You're right, so can you move aside now?" Song Miqiu rolled her eyes as she walked past Liuli.
When Liuli saw Song Miqiu glaring at her, she deliberately tripped Song Miqiu with her foot. Song Miqiu was not paying attention and almost stumbled and fell.
Song Miqiu's anger flared up instantly. He steadied himself.
"What do you mean?"
"What else could I mean? This is what I mean."
The whole day was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"I didn't provoke you, you provoked me first."
After saying this, Song Miqiu raised his hand and slapped Liuli's fair face.
"Slap..." The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the room.
The pearl hairpin on Liuli's head was also blown away, and five finger marks immediately appeared on her face.
Liuli was caught off guard by the sudden slap. When she came to her senses, her face stung with pain. She covered her face, her eyes red and swollen.
"You shrew, how dare you hit me!"
"What, do I need to pick a time to hit you?" Song Miqiu felt particularly pleased when he saw Liuli's reaction.
Liuli tried to grab Song Miqiu's hair, but Song Miqiu dodged quickly and slapped Liuli across the face.
Liuli was stunned by the blows, having been slapped twice in a row. Song Miqiu, on the other hand, was completely unharmed.
"You..." Liuli didn't know what to say, she just felt that Song Miqiu was a shrew and very strong.
Song Miqiu held those who were all talk and no action in utter contempt. He thought they were easy targets, using such petty tricks.
"What, do you still think I haven't hit you hard enough?" Song Miqiu said, raising his hand as if to strike.
Liuli was so frightened that she took a few steps back. The two slaps to her face really stung.
Song Miqiu knew, of course, that those two slaps from Liuli must have hurt; she had used all her strength to deliver them.
"You, you barbaric old hag! If Young Master Yu knew your true colors, see if he'd stay at your house!" Liu Li knew she couldn't beat Song Miqiu, so she could only vent her anger verbally.
"Yes, I am a savage old hag. I'll tear your mouth apart today." Song Miqiu said, and was about to hit Liuli.
"Song Miqiu, although I like Young Master Yu, I will never pose a threat to you." Liuli's tone suddenly became weak and feeble.
Song Miqiu was puzzled as to why her son, who had been so arrogant just moments before, had suddenly changed his demeanor.
Song Miqiu didn't care about any of that. If she dared to call her an old hag, she would beat her to a pulp today.
Liuli had just seen the old lady's house and Yu Huailin from the doorway, so she suddenly put on a weak appearance in an attempt to gain sympathy.
Before Song Miqiu could even touch Liuli, Liuli collapsed to the ground, looking frail and delicate, with a captivating expression and alluring eyes.
"Oh dear, what happened!" The old eunuch rushed in and helped Liuli up from the ground.
Liuli immediately put on a wronged look.
“Godfather, I don’t know what I said that offended you. Aunt Song couldn’t help but slap herself twice.”
As Liuli spoke, tears streamed down her face, a sight that broke one's heart.
Watching Liuli's self-written and self-directed performance, Song Miqiu thought that even the empresses in the harem could not act as well as her.
The old eunuch, his face somewhat displeased, said, "Imperial Physician Song, I respect your character and am very grateful to you for saving me, but why did you hit her?"
"That's right, I hit her, and I hit her really hard." Song Miqiu, seeing Liuli's moving performance, gave in to her wish.
Yu Huailin didn't even glance at Liuli, but walked directly to Song Miqiu's side, gently opened Song Miqiu's palm and blew on it.
"Are you alright? Does it hurt? Are you injured anywhere?" Yu Huailin asked Song Miqiu with concern.
