The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and inside the window a beauty was leaning against the railing. The beauty, who was sitting with her chin in her hand, was extremely lazy and even hummed nonchalantly: "A red gauze shirt and a saffron skirt, a light silk fan to swat away mosquitoes and flies, and she frowned and was too lazy to put on makeup..."
She hadn't finished reading when she heard a voice of praise from the side: "What a great poem! Miss, you are really amazing... Ouch!"
Liu Yin, who was praising her own daughter with an intoxicated look on her face, was hit on the head by the light silk fan. She cried out in pain and looked at the beauty by the window, but was given a cold stare: "Is this called poetry? If Yong Ping hears it, she will laugh at you a thousand times! I just made up three sentences, and I can't think of the fourth sentence, so I can't continue!"
Zhan Jin saw that Liu Yin's flattery had no effect and she was fanned instead. She could only helplessly carry a wooden tray up. On the wooden tray was a crystal bowl of iced sour plum soup. In this hot summer day, there was a wisp of white mist, which made people feel somewhat cool at a glance. On a white porcelain plate next to it was a lifelike blue peacock with a colorful tail, which was a masterpiece of nature.
However, such food comfort has no effect on Zhu Ying now. She is no longer at the age where she can be satisfied with exquisite dishes and exquisite presentation. When she saw the two things being served, she said unhappily without even blinking, "You two can share it. I have no appetite!"
"Miss." This time even Zhan Jin couldn't help but get a little anxious. "You haven't eaten well these past few days. The kitchen has put a lot of thought into making this for you. The sour plum soup is appetizing, and the peacock cake is cool and refreshing. Please have some. Liu Yin and I eat three meals a day plus snacks, but you can't ignore yourself."
"Who told them not to let me go out? Not only did they not allow me to go to Cangzhou again, but they also kept me locked up for fifteen days! Fifteen whole days!"
Zhu Ying jumped down from the high desk in front of the window with a gloomy face. Yes, she just leaned on the railing and looked very lazy. In fact, she was sitting on the desk without any posture and looking at the yard. She seemed to have not seen the beauty chair on the second floor. As soon as she landed, she walked out with a huff. Liu Yin, who had just tried to amuse her, hurried forward to stop her.
"Miss... Miss, because of what you yelled outside, there has been chaos outside for several days. The master was doing it for your own good. Because he locked you up at home, the lady and the lady had a fight with him. Now the master is still living alone in the outer study room, claiming that he would guard the door. Anyone who dares to let you out is not a member of the Zhu family. The lady almost picked up a sword and fought with him..."
After hearing Liuyin's disorganized persuasion, Zhu Ying gradually stopped and then looked sideways at her two trusted maids suspiciously. Seeing Liuyin's expression that said "I'm a puppy if I try to coax people" and Zhan Jin lowered his head, she immediately became furious.
"Okay, it turns out that it's Dad who's causing trouble again! I was saying that Grandma and Mom are both the ones who support me the most, so why would they lock me up here for no reason? Why is he always so overbearing! Grandma is his mother, and he doesn't even listen to her. What else does he want!"
Zhan Jin and Liu Yin looked at each other and felt the same sweat in their hearts. "Miss, you are still the master's most beloved daughter, but you often don't even listen to your father. Now you have the nerve to talk about your father?"
