[R18] Quick Travel Heroine’s Counterattack Plan (h) – Chapter 412 of “Quick Travel Heroine’s Counterattack Plan (h)” [English]

The royal concubine arrives(19)

A few days later, Lu Manzhi went to visit Leng Xiyan’s palace, “I’m here to see you, my concubine. I’m here suddenly. I didn’t disturb you, right…?” Lu Manzhi felt blessed, and sat down before Leng Xiyan could speak.

“How could it be? Yuping, serve tea…” Leng Xiyan ordered.

The two of them were sitting in the main hall, “Why is Concubine Lu here today?” Leng Xiyan asked her.

“I saw my sister in the Queen’s Palace that day and felt very friendly, so I wanted to visit my sister in her palace. I happened to be free today, so I came over…” Lu Manzhi explained with a smile.

“I see…” Leng Xiyan nodded.

“Sister, my concubine, I don’t have any good things. This is the Jade Buddha gifted to me by the emperor. It is a national treasure paid tribute by the envoys of South Vietnam. I borrowed flowers to present the Buddha to you, as a meeting gift to my sister…” After saying this, Lu Manzhi held out the bottle of Jade Buddha.

“You’re welcome, sister, how can I accept such valuable things?” Leng Xiyan declined with a smile.

“Sister, please don’t refuse. This is my wish. Besides, there are many treasures in my sister’s palace. A bottle of Jade Buddha is really nothing…” Lu Manzhi’s tone was vaguely showing off.

“Then you’re welcome, sister… But I can’t accept my sister’s things for free…” As she said that, Leng Xiyan took off the Buddhist beads she was wearing, “Sister, these are the South China Sea Buddhist beads. If they have been blessed, give them to my sister to keep her safe…”

Lu Manzhi played with the string of Buddhist beads.She was born in a brothel and has seen all kinds of customers. She can judge whether they are rich or not based on the jewelry they wear, so she can selectively receive them.Therefore, the ability to identify treasures is still there.Although this string of beads looks ordinary, it is extremely valuable, more than ten times more expensive than the jade Buddha she just gave away.

But Leng Xiyan gave it to her so easily, which shows that this string of beads is just an ordinary thing in her eyes, and she should have more valuable treasures.Thinking about it this way, Lu Manzhi felt like a joke in Leng Xiyan’s eyes.Maybe she is laughing at herself in her heart right now.

Lu Manzhi spoke in a sour tone, “Sister, I am worthy of being from a noble family. Anything you pick out is priceless. I have learned so much…”

“Sister is joking…” Leng Xiyan said.

“Sister, please stop being modest… After all, my sister is from a humble background and does not deserve to have such good things… Unlike my sister, who has a noble status and can easily get things that others would never dare to think about in their lifetime. Everything is just fate…”

“If my sister insists on thinking this way… I can’t help it… But I have seen people who are born like my sister and live well through their own efforts. I have also seen people who are poor but don’t want to make progress and only complain about others. In the end, it will only get worse. It shows that a person’s destiny can be changed. If you have time to blame yourself, it is better to find a way to change it. Sister, do you think she is right?” Leng Xiyan looked at her with a half-smile.

“Sister is right, sister has learned a lesson…” Lu Manzhi smiled stiffly.

After sitting for a while, Lu Manzhi was about to say goodbye and leave.As a result, when she walked out of the palace, she bumped into Yuping slightly, and Lu Manzhi slapped her back, “How dare you bump into me, a cheap maid?”

Yuping’s face immediately swelled up, and the corners of her mouth were faintly bloodshot.When Leng Xiyan reacted, she saw that Lu Manzhi was about to hit Yuping again. She grabbed Lu Manzhi’s hand and said, “Concubine Lu, what are you doing?”

“Sister, let me go. This bitch bumped into me on purpose. I can’t help but teach her a lesson…” Lu Manzhi looked vicious.

“Concubine Lu is so proud. When will it be your turn to teach my people a lesson?” Leng Xiyan said with a gloomy expression.

“Sister, I’m here to help you. I know you love and protect your servants, but such a cunning slave girl is so arrogant just because her sister is favored. If she doesn’t teach her a lesson, she will definitely get into big trouble in the future…” Lu Manzhi looked at her arrogantly.

“Mother, I don’t have any…” Yuping looked aggrieved.

“You have been with me since childhood, how can I still not understand you?” Leng Xiyan comforted her, and then looked at Lu Manzhi, “Lu Guifei, I saw it clearly just now. It was clearly you who stretched your foot and tripped Yuping, and she bumped into you because she couldn’t stand firmly. So, what else can you say?” Leng Xiyan looked at her with a half-smile.

“Even if this is the case, I am the master and she is the slave. It is natural for the master to beat the slave. If you want to blame it, it is because she was born in a humble background and can only accept her fate…”

“That’s what you think. I am a protector of shortcomings and will never see my people beaten in vain…” Leng Xiyan looked at her with cold eyes.

“What do you want, sister?” Lu Manzhi disagreed.

“Apologise to Yuping!” Leng Xiyan said.

Lu Manzhi looked incredulous, “What? You want me to apologize to her? Impossible!”

“In that case, Yuping, why did she hit you just now, please return it to me as is!” Leng Xiyan looked at Yuping.

“This… empress?” Yuping looked embarrassed. Although she hated Lu Manzhi, she could never cause trouble for her young lady. At most, she could stay away from Lu Manzhi next time.

“Even a lowly slave like you wouldn’t dare to attack me…” Lu Manzhi looked proud.

“My Yuping is kind and won’t argue with you, but as the master, I can’t let her suffer in vain, so I have to do it myself…” After saying that, before Lu Manzhi could react, Leng Xiyan slapped her in the face.
