“The one from Leisure Pavilion? Xing Dai Rong is here again?” Lu Lingyun closed her ledger and smiled faintly. “She’s not that stupid yet.”
“Let her in.”
The ledger on the table had just been taken away when Xing Dai Rong stormed in with her entourage. Before anyone could speak, she began to question, “It’s you! It must be you, deliberately setting up a concubine to spite me!”
“Miss Xing, you think too highly of yourself!” Xiao Wei said coldly.
“When my mistress is speaking, what right do you have to interrupt?” Xing Dai Rong glared at Xiao Wei angrily.
Xiao Wei did not flinch, she straightened her spine and said, “You know my mistress, but my mistress has never said a word. What reason do you have to speak?”
Hearing this, Xing Dai Rong was filled with anger, but she ignored Xiao Wei and turned to Lu Lingyun, “Do you still want to say this has nothing to do with you?!”
Lu Lingyun sat on the bamboo stool, smiling faintly. “Miss Xing, I remember hearing from the servants that you don’t care about status or vanity, a truly unique woman. Even so, why do you care about Qiu Ling being raised to a concubine?”
“How can you compare! That vulgar woman is stealing my man! You, a mistress, haven’t caused enough trouble, now you’re setting up a fourth!”
Lu Lingyun listened to her new words, knowing without a doubt that they were insults. She shook her head gently, “Miss Xing, you’re wrong again.”
“Where am I wrong! As soon as she appeared, she stole the Young Master away, isn’t that stealing my man?”
Lu Lingyun looked at her, “You say I’m a mistress because Cheng Yunshuo is already with you, right?”
“Of course! We’re already together, and you interfering makes you a mistress!”
“Bold!”
“Audacious!”
Xiao Wei and the others shouted angrily in unison.
Lu Lingyun waved her hand, her face still calm as she looked at Xing Dai Rong, “Since you say that anyone interfering with a relationship that’s already begun is a mistress, then Qiu Ling was here before you. So, according to your logic, you’re the mistress between her and the Young Master.”
Lu Lingyun’s voice was gentle yet forceful, so much so that everyone present cheered.
That’s right!
This strange Xing Dai Rong always relied on the fact that she was with Cheng Yunshuo first, so she boldly called Lu Lingyun a mistress. But according to her own logic, she was just a mistress!
And the first mistress at that!
What nerve she had to constantly shout at Lu Lingyun.
“You! That’s not how it is!”
“If it’s not how it is, then how is it?” Lu Lingyun smiled at her.
She was going to use Xing Dai Rong’s own logic to slap her in the face.
Xing Dai Rong bit her lip, feeling ashamed and angry after being slapped in the face. She shouted, “The one who isn’t loved is the mistress!”
Lu Lingyun paused slightly upon hearing this, then burst out laughing.
“Earlier you said interfering with an existing relationship is a mistress, now you say the one who isn’t loved is the mistress. I understand. It seems that the whole world can be a mistress, just not you, right?”
Xing Dai Rong was speechless, she could only stubbornly insist, “Anyway, Cheng Yunshuo promised me that we’d be together forever, he’ll only love me for the rest of his life!”
“Alright, good.” Lu Lingyun nodded. “So, going back to the beginning, since you only care about this love, why come here and question others becoming concubines?”
Xing Dai Rong was speechless.
Yes, if she only cared about Cheng Yunshuo’s love, then wouldn’t she just cling to him every day? She herself had said that these titles were meaningless, all that mattered was genuine love between two people.
Now, coming to make a fuss with Lu Lingyun, didn’t that make her look hypocritical and unreasonable?
Xing Dai Rong took a few deep breaths, “Then you better control that vulgar Qiu Ling! Don’t let her steal my man!”
