Chapter 214 The Infamous Young Lady 2
Urged by the system, she finally snapped out of her daze, lazily picked up the clothes beside her, studied them for a while, and realized she didn't know how to put them on, so she had to call out, "Someone come here."
The maids entered in single file with their heads bowed.
She wasn't sure if it was because she had drunk alcohol and been exposed to incense and candles for too long, but she still felt dizzy and lightheaded. In her dazed state, she was dressed and then got up and went outside.
"Miss, where are you going?" Zhuzhu, the personal maid, asked nervously. She had grown up with the young lady since childhood and knew her mistress's personality very well.
Although the Madam and Master were already indifferent to everything, she still tried her best to persuade the young lady not to act rashly.
What could make her give up on a man must not be a good thing.
Ni Qing's personality was largely due to the discipline she received from her husband and wife. Although she was infamous, only she knew that her husband was only interested in holding hands and drinking wine.
Although touching hands and drinking alcohol are still seriously outrageous things.
Ni Qing glanced at her lazily: "Let's go out and play." Even the original owner of this body treated this little maid very well, so there was basically no need to be deliberate. She curled her lips into a carefree smile: "Zhuzhu, do you want to come with me?"
Zhuzhu nodded solemnly. She had to keep an eye on the young lady and not let her fall into depravity.
Ni Qing was just joking: "Just kidding. You stay home and cover for me while I head out."
Wearing beads would be a bit of a hindrance.
However, Zhuzhu was very stubborn and refused to stay in the mansion no matter what, so Ni Qing had no choice but to reluctantly take her with him.
The original owner had recently acquired a magnificent Akhal-Teke horse, its snow-white mane gleaming with oil and its muscles bulging. However, Ni Qing, being a down-to-earth laborer, found even riding a horse difficult, let alone charging recklessly.
So she decisively switched to a horse-drawn carriage.
The effect is the same.
The sunlight outside was warm and dazzling, making people feel cozy. The streets and alleys were packed with people going to the market, but fortunately the roads were wide enough to accommodate horse-drawn carriages.
Men, women, and children, some dressed in fine silk robes with rosy complexions from eating, others wearing linen outer garments with sallow and thin faces, while the shouts of the vendors continued incessantly.
"Rattle drums! One penny a rattle drum! Come and take a look!"
"Fresh, big meat buns! Fresh, big meat buns, how many would you like, young master...?"
"Oh, my lady, I've been waiting for you to come. I just received some rouge from overseas these past few days, and I'm just waiting for you to try it."
All sorts of vendors were busy making a few coins.
Her fair, calloused fingertips gently picked up the so-called imported rouge, her bright eyes filled with curiosity: "Foreign rouge? Is there anything special about it?"
He Yingyue examined the packaging carefully. Apart from being expensive, it had nothing special about it. On the contrary, the maid beside her had her eyes light up.
"Alright, just wrap it up for me. I'll take one of each of the newly arrived rouges." He Yingyue shook her head with a smile, and the maid beside her chuckled.
"Alright!" The vendor quickly sorted the items for her, then took the silver from her subordinate, beaming from ear to ear. This most beautiful woman in the capital was indeed wealthy, generous, beautiful, and kind-hearted.
These wealthy young ladies were selected by specialists from the rouge shop, but she never cared about such superficial things, nor did she look down on the various trinkets of ordinary people.
The sound of horses' hooves passing by could be heard from time to time.
She didn't take it seriously until she heard panicked cries for help from not far away, at which point she frowned and looked over.
A magnificent carriage was speeding towards her, smashing the roadside stalls to pieces, with fruits and food scattered all over the ground.
But no one dared to stop it. On one side of the carriage was a distinctive crescent moon, the private carriage of the richest family. One could imagine who was sitting inside.
Zhuzhu was also a little scared and grabbed onto whatever she could hold onto, not understanding why the carriage had suddenly gone out of control.
While they were still in a daze, a girl in a light pink dress leaped up, grabbed the reins with both hands, and pulled back with all her might.
The horse let out a painful neigh and barely stopped.
Everyone on the street praised her action.
As expected of the eldest daughter of the General's family, she is outstanding in appearance and skill, and she is willing to offend that extremely arrogant good-for-nothing for the sake of the common people.
Scattered applause and cheers could be heard from outside the curtain.
Ni Qing: "Very good, it's my turn to show off."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a slender hand slowly parted the curtain, revealing a pale yet beautiful face, with peach-colored eyes drooping casually at the corners.
She looked down at He Yingyue: "How dare you! How dare you stop my carriage!"
He Yingyue was taken aback when she saw the person in the carriage. Although the other person was a rare beauty, she looked like a spoiled brat.
She had never met Ni Qing and naturally didn't know her, so she could only patiently explain, "Miss, your carriage was startled. I was just stopping a farce for you."
Logically speaking, a normal person should thank her, not criticize her. Judging from the gossip around her, this must be Ni Qing, the infamous good-for-nothing playboy in Beijing.
Rumors say that Ni Qing is licentious, shameless, and unpredictable, and often compares herself to He Yingyue.
"Logically speaking, do you think I should thank you?" Ni Qing curled her lips and let out a sneer, full of arrogance and disdain.
He Yingyue was already getting impatient. It seemed that the richest girl in other people's eyes was indeed like this. There was no need for her to waste any more words: "You have seriously disturbed others. Don't you think you have something wrong with yourself?"
Ni Qing tilted her head innocently: "I don't have any problems, but I do have some money." Zhu Zhu was already used to it. She rummaged through the carriage and pulled out a bundle full of loose silver coins, which she promptly handed over to the "victim."
He Yingyue: "..." What is this? A gang crime?
The girl in the carriage yawned slowly, her tearful eyes looking somewhat alluring: "What else do you have to say? Get out of here."
He Yingyue had never been so humiliated. She had always been the center of attention, and now she was being humiliated in the street. Where was she supposed to put her face?
She sneered, "The Ling family is indeed wealthy and powerful, only willing to give such a pittance? If someone is injured, will they also settle things with money?"
"What else?" Ni Qing retorted. "If you don't move aside, don't blame me for hitting you!"
Piggy was terrified: "Miss, calm down! Don't be impulsive! This young lady isn't someone you can just hit."
He Yingyue laughed in exasperation. She had practiced martial arts since childhood and had never encountered anyone who wanted to compete with her: "Then you can try."
The other man's eyes turned cold. He snatched the coachman's whip and lashed it out, the sound of it cutting through the air sending chills down one's spine.
If that hits your face, wouldn't it disfigure you?
Before He Yingyue could move, a tall, slender figure suddenly appeared in front of her, easily grabbing the menacing whip in his hand.
