Chapter Seventy-Five: Accidental Success

  It is also unknown whether Liu Dainai was frightened by the northern tour of Wei Beihou, and worried that Liu Rong would again come up with a colorful painting dress, stealing the spotlight from her two elder sisters.

  The next day at dawn, before the sky had even lightened, someone was sent to deliver four sets of clothes to Liu Rong.

  Four sets of clothes have different styles and colors, but the color is almost the same, all are plain colors. The best one is a goose-yellow embroidered flower jacket. As for other colors, they are not eye-catching, at most they can be considered as ordinary, the only advantage is that the material is good, all are brocade satin.

  "This is what the eldest sister wore, and Madame Wang was worried that you didn't have any suitable clothes, so she asked the servant to send them over. Third Miss, please choose one carefully, be careful not to damage it, these are all high-quality materials. If it weren't for Madame Wang's kindness, others wouldn't give such good clothes to a concubine-born daughter like you to wear and show off."

  Qiao'er looked at Liu Rong and said, although the words were still unpleasant to hear, her face was no longer as arrogant and overbearing as before. Looking closely at those eyes, it could be seen that she did not stare directly at Liu Rong like usual.

  Dong Er was furious in her heart! Her family's young lady had let Chao Er off in that situation, and she didn't expect Chao Er to still dare come here and show off.

  Liu Rong furrowed her brow: "Take the clothes back, they're not needed here."

  "Third Miss, I'm not familiar with this house yet, I advise you not to insist on saving face, can't wear those inferior clothes, and lose the face of the Wen Ding Hou Fu." Cui'er said with a seemingly concerned tone.

  "It's useless to say."

  Liu Rong looked at Qiao'er: "Let mother feel at ease, I won't wear these water-ink clothes out of the house today, you take them back."

  "Miss!"

  Dong Er couldn't help but exclaim, "This dress is so beautiful, how can you say that if it's not worn, then don't wear it? Dà Niáng clearly has ulterior motives, the clothes she sent are all so ordinary. Obviously, she wants to make Miss wear something inconspicuous, and use Er Niang as a foil. How can Miss so easily satisfy Dà Niáng's heart?"

  Qiao'er's face showed a hint of joy, but her mouth continued to speak: "Third Miss, what are you talking about? The old madam is concerned about you and sent you these clothes. If it were someone else, how could they possibly send such fine clothes made of good fabric?"

  Qiao'er said, pausing for a moment as if worried that Liu Rong would change her mind, and quickly spoke again: "I think Third Miss won't be able to choose in such a short time. Let's just put these four sets of clothes here for now, and come back tomorrow to pick them up."

  Without giving Liu Rong a chance to refuse, she gave a signal to the little maid who was following her with clothes. The little maid saw it and quickly put the clothes on the table.

  As soon as she was done, Cui'er bid farewell and led the little maid out of Liu Rong's room quickly.

  Looking at Qiao'er quickly walking away, Dong'er couldn't help but jump up: "Miss, how can you so simply agree not to wear the water-ink clothes? Those clothes are so beautiful, last time even Madame Wei Bei Hou praised them, if we follow their wishes, it will make them happy!"

  Liu Rong, however, walked to the dressing table and sat down: "Silly Dong Er, water-ink clothes are originally worn only once and cannot be worn again. Last time I wore them to the Wei Bei Hou Fu, the women must have thought it was novel and would have spread the word by now. If I wear them like this again, it would be a step down. People will look down on me."

  "It can't be that easy to satisfy Big Grandma's wishes."

  Dong'er pouted and walked to Liu Rong's side, picking up the peach wood comb on the dresser to help Liu Rong tidy her hair: "If you don't wear that dress, what will you wear this time? You can't really wear Big Sister's dress, can you?"

  Thinking of this possibility, Dong Er felt unwilling in her heart. The young lady of their household was the best, and she should use the best things. How could she wear the clothes left behind by the eldest miss to go out? Thinking of this possibility, she felt anxious!

  Even in a wealthy family, it is true that the daughter of a concubine wears the clothes left over by the legitimate daughter, but she cannot accept her own mistress being humiliated like this!

  Suddenly, Dong Er thought of how Liu Rong always had a way out when they were in trouble before. Her eyes lit up: "Miss, have you already come up with a good idea but haven't told me? Can we make some other beautiful clothes?"

  Liu Rong was speechless: "No, I didn't have any ideas at all, hurry up and comb your hair."

  Dong Er's small face immediately puffed up: "What can be done, I don't want Miss to wear clothes that Big Miss has worn before! Although those clothes are made of good material, I don't want Miss to wear such clothes!"

  Liu Rong smiled slightly and shook her head: "Why wear the clothes sent by Big Grandma, aren't the ones my mother made for me good enough?"

  Dong Er furrowed his brow: "But what about the fabric of those clothes..."

  "It's fine, the color is good too. The material and all that don't matter. Mother made a simple yet elegant dress, it won't embarrass you when you wear it out." Liu Rong interrupted Dong Er's words.

  "But it's not impressive at all!" Dong Er pouted.

  "Actually, Dong Er, you've always disliked my mother's embroidery skills." Liu Rong pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "This matter must be told to my mother!"

  "No, miss, I was wrong, I was wrong, it's okay, you mustn't tell Auntie Zhong." Dong'er stomped her foot and hastily spoke up.

  Liu Rong smiled and said: "Hurry up and give me a matching hair bun."

  "Alright, alright, but wearing such clothes out is also too much of a loss! For no reason, I've become the laughing stock of that old lady."

  "Miss Ming is indeed more outstanding than Miss Er, but Grandma's heart is small, treating the young ladies like this." Dong'er complained unhappily.

  "Alright, you're getting bolder and bolder, even daring to manipulate the mistress of the house. Be careful or Liu Dà Niáng will find out and give you a good scolding."

  "This isn't me being unwilling on Miss's behalf!"

  "Hurry up and comb your hair, if you keep complaining, by the time they leave, it will be too late for you to cry." Liu Rong said with a smile.

  After waiting for a while, Dong Er helped Liu Rong to dress up and it had already been an hour. When Liu Rong brought Dong Er to the entrance of the mansion, it happened that Madame Liu was also bringing out Liu Yun and Liu Mei who were all dressed up.

  Liu Jie and Wu Jie were already waiting beside the carriage.

  When Liu Rong came out, Liu Jie immediately smiled with curved eyes, and only after the wet nurse looked at her did she stand properly by the side of the carriage.

  Liu Dainai carefully sized up Liu Rong, and only when she was sure that Liu Rong's outfit was simply elegant and not showy at all did she contentedly call for everyone to get on the carriage.

  The wet nurse saw everything and couldn't help but feel sorry for Liu Ying. Obviously, among the young ladies, her looks were top-notch, yet she encountered such a demanding stepmother, who wouldn't even let her wear a single good-looking dress.

  It would be better if Zhong's wife had not been demoted to a concubine.

  Liu Rong didn't know what the wet nurse of Liu Jie was thinking, she originally didn't have any intention to get married, and it was already good enough that she didn't avoid going to the temple this time, let alone deliberately doing something.

  If it weren't for not wanting to make Zhongshi and Dong'er sad, she wouldn't have put on a show, probably just wearing her usual clothes out the door.

  It seems that what Liu Dainai did would make others think that Liu Rong was at a disadvantage, but who knew that for Liu Rong, it was actually hitting the nail on the head and meeting her wishes.
