[Quick Transmigration] Where is the Morality Chapter 16 (Part 2)
Qiangtou Spring Chapter 16 (Part 2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Two quarters of an hour later, Xia Ruyan sat in the carriage and looked out. It seemed like it was nothing different from that in the TV show?
“Yes, this is just the world of fiction. Everything is based on the author’s setting.” The system said.
“Oh... Then should I thank the author for setting a world that is not too harsh for women, and there are no restrictions on going out.”
“Hey, is that a jewelry store over there?” Xia Ruyan’s eyes lit up, “Stop stop. I’m going to check it out!”
After entering the jewelry store, Xia Ruyan looked at the exquisite accessories with great interest. The shopkeeper saw she was beautifully dressed, and the emblem on the carriage at the door was from the Duke’s residence, he immediately took out the new styles for her to choose.
“Hey, isn’t this the Duchess?” A familiar voice came.
Xia Ruyan didn’t need to look back knowing who it was. She didn’t bother to deal with her at all and continued to concentrate on choosing jewelry.
Seeing Xia Ruyan ignoring her, Xia Rujin snorted. She walked to her and took away the hairpin Xia Ruyan was holding in her hand. With a joke smile on her face, she said: “Why don’t my older sister say something? You don’t recognize your younger sister after you get married?”
Xia Ruyan was too lazy to do her superficial skills and forced a reply: “What are you doing?”
“I see my older sister and I greet her. My older sister seemed to be in a bad mood. Oh... why didn’t His Excellency accompany you out? Did my older sister get left out in the cold just after she got married?” Xia Rujin seemed to have discovered a new world. She couldn’t hide the pride in her eyes.
“My father received orders and went on a mission out of the country, but I don’t know which young lady hasn’t come of age, is so concerned about the internal affairs of other people’s husband and wife.”
A cold male voice sounded. Xia Rujin’s face stiffened, and then she looked back.
A tall and straight man stepped in from the door, dressed in a dark blue silver edging robe with a wide brocade belt of auspicious clouds of the same color around his waist, and his stepping feet with flowing cloud woven brocade boots. His face was carved, with handsome facial features, and exuded a chill all over his body.
“...” Xia Ruyan was a little surprised. Why was Xie Rong here?
Xie Rong strode to Xia Ruyan and greeted: “The son passed by here just now and saw the carriage of the residence stopped here. He thought it was his mother who was out, so he came and took a look.”
When had Xia Ruyan seen such a respectful and polite Xie Rong? She pulled the corners of her lips uncomfortably: “I just came out to stroll around. If you have something to do, you should hurry. Don’t delay.”
“It’s fine. It’s just some trivial things. If the mother goes out, the son should accompany her.” Xie Rong seemed to know that Xia Ruyan didn’t want to see him, so he didn’t leave.
Xia Rujin’s teeth were sour from the side. The duke’s son was two years older than Xia Ruyan. Why did he put on the appearance of a mother compassionate and a son of filial piety?
Seeing no one paying attention to her, Xia Rujin cleared her throat and said: “Older sister, won’t you introduce your younger sister?”
Xia Ruyan was embarrassed by Xie Rong’s thick face, and looked at her impatiently when she heard the words: “Why haven’t you left?”
Xia Rujin was choked. She couldn’t hold her face. She pretended to be aggrieved and said: “Why is my older sister so impatient with her younger sister? In the past, we were young and ignorant, and sometimes we had a few quarrels. Now that my older sister is married, why don’t you forgive your younger sister?”
When the other customers in the store heard this, they immediately looked at Xia Ruyan with disapproving eyes. Why was the older sister not as sensible as her younger sister? Did the wife of the duke have this kind of temperament?
Xia Ruyan found it laughable. This Xia Rujin really wanted to discredit the original at all cost. In the final analysis, she didn’t have a deep hatred for the original. Now she was married, why bother?
She was about to refute, but Xie Rong suddenly said: “It stands to reason I should call you aunt. Since my aunt asks my mother to forgive her, how about buying the thing she’d just liked and giving it to my mother?”
Xia Rujin’s face was stiff. The hairpin Xia Ruyan had just liked was in her hand at this time. It was a white jade hairpin inlaid with red coral pearls. It was excellent in color and valuable at first sight. Xia Rujin was the daughter of the minister and was much loved. She could afford to buy such a hairpin, but she was reluctant to give it to the person she hated for nothing.
Xia Ruyan almost laughed. Although she hated Xie Rong for having a black-bellied, why did she think he was so cool when he treated others with a black-bellied? She saw Xia Rujin frozen there, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. She was in a good mood. She pretended to be angry at Xie Rong and said: “Look at you, how can you ask your aunt for something? It’s not like I can’t afford it. All right, shopkeeper, wrap that hairpin and send it to the duke’s residence.”
After speaking, she smiled at Xia Rujin: “Younger sister, take your time. Your older sister will not stay anymore. Whenever you have time, come to the duke’s residence to see your older sister. Don’t always make excuses not to come.”
After speaking, she walked out.
It was the first time Xia Ruyan treated Xie Rong so kindly. The corner of his mouth couldn’t help tilting up slightly and followed her out of the store. Xia Rujin was left standing there as her face flushed red and green.
This younger sister is really like a b**ch to me no matter what. I don’t like her a bit.
ReplyDeleteGood put that younger sister in her place 😤
ReplyDeleteI don’t like the younger sister. She obviously has the vibe of a vicious female character
