Chapter 177: Lantern Festival
It's night.
Although it was just Chinese New Year's Eve, there were still many pedestrians on the streets, and the Lantern Festival was quietly approaching.
"Mother, let's go to the river and put lanterns." Shangguan Xue'er looked at the crowd of people holding lanterns on the street, full of interest.
Xie Liuli shook her head helplessly, she really couldn't be interested in this kind of thing that only little girls liked.
"I'll accompany you to put out the lanterns." She didn't want to disturb Cher's mood.
By the river, various lanterns are lit on the bank, flowing along the river with expectations and longing for the future.
The lantern in Shangguan Xue'er's hand is printed with the image of a phoenix soaring, and the phoenix in Phnom Penh is painted by her own hand.
"Xue'er, you seem to like the phoenix very much lately, is it because of your master?" Xie Liuli had already discovered Xue'er's preferences, but she never found a chance to ask.
Shangguan Xue'er held a lantern, and the candles in the lantern reflected the phoenix vividly.
"No, I just think the phoenix is beautiful." She didn't express her suspicions, after all, she hadn't found any news about the Feng clan yet.
Xie Liuli watched the light of the candle reflected on Shangguan Xue'er's face, and the picture of more than ten years ago flashed in his mind.
At that time, my sister Xie Baifeng also liked the phoenix, could it be that this was also genetic?
At the same time, across the river.
Shangguan Ya'er didn't expect to meet Shangguan Xue'er when she went out to put lanterns, so she threw the lantern in her hand in a rage.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" The maidservant girl who followed Shangguan Ya'er was cautious, for fear of accidentally getting angry.
Stepping on the lantern that had shattered to pieces on the ground, she lifted her long skirt and walked straight across the river.
Shangguan Xue'er had just put the lantern into the river, and the disgusting voice behind her had already sounded.
"Shangguan Xue'er, you waste and have the face to put lanterns here!" Shangguan Ya'er shouted loudly, for fear that others would not know that Shangguan Xue'er was here.
She had already heard her mother talk about the things in the Shangguan Mansion in detail, if it weren't for this damn little slut who didn't go back to treat her father, how could her father have suffered so much.
Now, she is still so carefree to put lanterns!
Watching the lanterns float towards the middle of the river, Shangguan Xue'er patted her palms lightly, and turned around to meet Shangguan Ya'er with cold eyes.
"What do I have to do with you?" She really couldn't understand why the people of the Shangguan family were so strange and why everyone liked to cause trouble to her.
The maidservant standing beside Shangguan Ya'er had already heard about Shangguan Xue'er, and now when she saw her princess being so neglected by a waste, she suddenly thought that the time had come for her meritorious service.
"Presumptuous! How dare you talk to the third princess like this! The maidservant took a step forward, pointed at Shangguan Xue'er and scolded, "You wait for the civilians to kneel when they see the third princess!" ”
The shouting posture startled many civilians around to kneel down one after another.
After a while, there was a kneel around them.
"You! Why don't you kneel yet! Seeing that Shangguan Xue'er was indifferent, the maid raised her slap and swung it straight at her.
"Cher be careful!" Xie Liuli didn't expect things to change suddenly, and hurriedly shouted loudly.
But before the maid walked to Shangguan Xue'er's side, she turned around and rushed to Shangguan Ya'er, and then slapped her fiercely with a few crackling slaps.
Shangguan Ya'er was stunned, and when she reacted, a punch had already smashed on the servant's chest, and the handmaid fell to the ground and vomited several mouthfuls of blood and completely fainted.
"Little slut, what tricks are you playing again!" Shangguan Ya'er was furious, this was not the first time she had suffered a loss in front of this waste, but she couldn't grasp the handle!
