Chapter 302: Narcissism

After she finished speaking, Ji Qingfeng became anxious.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Hua Feixue said, "Stay."

Madam Meng also didn't want Ji Qingfeng to leave, so she discussed with Ji Nanchuan.

"Perhaps, let's let this girl stay for the time being. As long as we stabilize Feng'er first and make him think it through, there will be plenty of ways to drive this woman away later."

"Besides, Mother's health is not good right now. The imperial doctor said she can't take any more anger. Even if you don't consider Feng'er, you should think about Mother's health!"

Ever since she returned from the Xu residence last time, Madam Ji had been ill from anger.

She had barely recovered enough to get out of bed, but today, Ji Qingfeng's matter had angered her to the point of collapse again.

Madam Meng was truly worried that one thing after another would be too much for Madam Ji's body.

Ji Nanchuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to be heartless and agreed.

Madam Meng arranged a separate courtyard for Hua Feixue, named Tingyu Pavilion.

The courtyard was elegant and pleasant, but it was the farthest from where Ji Qingfeng lived and closest to where Ji Qingqing lived.

In addition, Madam Meng assigned a maid named Qiu Zhu to attend to Hua Feixue.

She did this not without reason—she wanted to keep Hua Feixue under the surveillance of her own people, reducing the chances of her meeting Ji Qingfeng.

On the first day Hua Feixue stayed at Tingyu Pavilion, Ji Qingqing came looking for her.

"Miss Hua, right? From the looks of it, this must be your first time in a large mansion like the Hou residence, isn't it?"

"I don't care what your purpose is for staying by my second brother's side, but you should be able to tell that our whole family doesn't like you at all. If you know what's good for you, you'll leave my second brother on your own, so nobody has to suffer."

Hua Feixue was originally lying on a lounge chair in the courtyard, enjoying the sun and eating grapes.

She sighed inwardly—how wonderful it was to just laze about!

With food, drink, and endless silver, wasn't this the ultimate pursuit of her life?

Ever since the Blood Rain Sect's vault was stolen, she, as the sect leader, had to support not only herself but also her subordinates.

In a fit of anger, she dissolved the Blood Rain Sect.

Now that she was in the Yongning Hou residence, she finally experienced the joy of doing nothing again.

But before she could enjoy it for long, a woman in green came to find her.

Hua Feixue recognized her—she was the one who had been glaring daggers at her in the Ruyi Hall earlier.

If she remembered correctly, her name was something like "Qinqin"?

"Qinqin, please don't talk to me with your excretory organ. It really stinks."

Ji Qingqing: "..."

The phrase "excretory organ" lingered in her mind for a moment, and when she realized what it meant, she nearly went mad with rage.

This bitch actually called her mouth an excretory organ?

Ji Qingqing had already been angered by Ji Yuntang earlier that day, and her anger had nowhere to go.

Now Hua Feixue's words hit a raw nerve.

A flash of malice flickered in her eyes, and she yanked the hairpin from her hair, swiping it at Hua Feixue's cheek.

This bitch was so seductive and bewitching; she must have used that face to seduce her second brother.

Today, she would ruin that seductive face!

Before Ji Qingqing's hand even touched Hua Feixue, her entire body was sent flying uncontrollably.

Her face was full of disbelief.

When she landed hard on the ground, the pain making her grimace, she asked incredulously, "Who are you?"

Hua Feixue stood up, lifted her red gauze skirt, and twirled happily in front of her.

"Me? I'm beautiful enough to make fish sink and geese fall, and outshine the moon and put flowers to shame—the prettiest flower by the riverbank, Hua Feixue."

"Generally, pretty women have a bit of a temper. You just tried to harm my stunning face with your hairpin, and unfortunately for you, I saw it. So, as punishment, you can lie here and enjoy the sun for a while!"

Ji Qingqing: "..."

She wanted to call Hua Feixue shameless, but then she saw her pull out a bronze mirror from somewhere and start admiring herself.

"It's exhausting pretending to be pretty. Good thing I'm naturally beautiful."

Ji Qingqing: "..."

Is she crazy?

Ji Qingqing was convinced Hua Feixue was insane!

She tried to get up but found her waist aching terribly; any movement felt like her bones were about to crack, making her gasp.

She took a deep breath and demanded, "What did you do to me?"

Hua Feixue didn't answer her question but gave her a meaningful glance.

"It's cruel to look closely at ugly people."

Then she took out some rouge to touch up her makeup.

Halfway through, she tossed the rouge onto the stone table.

"Forget it, I won't bother dressing up. I'm already this beautiful—I should give others a chance to live!"

Ji Qingqing: "..."

Ji Qingqing: "!!!"

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the rouge Hua Feixue had casually thrown aside—it was the Xishi Rouge that she had longed for and bought for ten thousand taels of silver.

Ji Qingqing instantly flipped out!

How could she? Something she had paid such a great price to obtain was cast aside like a worn-out shoe by someone else?

Ji Yuntang is, and so is Hua Feixue.

Ji Qingqing gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Do you know how expensive this rouge is? I'm afraid you couldn't even earn that much money selling paintings at a street stall for a whole year!"

Hua Feixue let out a scoff. As her eyes glinted, the mockery at the corners of her mouth deepened.

How could she not see that Ji Qingqing was jealous?

She suddenly felt that having such a person to amuse herself with during the boring days seemed pretty good.

Thinking of this, Hua Feixue no longer went into the house. She turned around, lifted her skirt, and sat down on the stone stool, still playing with the rouge in her hand.

"You mean this rouge? Second Young Master Ji gave it to me. It didn't cost me a penny, and I have plenty more over there!"

"Second Young Master Ji said that the money I earn is mine, and the money he earns is also mine. Whatever I want in the future, he will buy it for me."

"I often tell him not to be so good to me. Guess what he said?"

Ji Qingqing glared at her hatefully. Hua Feixue didn't care and continued regardless:

"He said that others are just passing through, and only I am the one he'll end up with. Good things should be left for the most important person."

After saying that, Hua Feixue's gaze hardened. She covered her mouth in mock surprise and said, "I heard you're his most beloved sister. How come he didn't give you rouge?"

"That's right. He said that only a woman as gorgeous as me is worthy of using such rouge."

"You're too ugly. Even if you put it on that face, it would be like putting makeup on a pig."

Ji Qingqing: "..."

Ji Qingqing: "!!!"

Her face was almost twisted with anger.

This bitch's mouth is really too poisonous. Did she grow up drinking poison?

But compared to Hua Feixue calling her ugly, Ji Qingqing was very disappointed in Ji Qingfeng's attitude.

Her heart ached sharply.

She had thought that Ji Qingfeng was just too busy, so he forgot to buy her rouge.
