After going on and on, Chen Wei at last looked up at Chen Rong.
She saw Chen Rong pouring herself some wine and drinking it from her seat.
Here she was, prostrating and kowtowing to her, but she was going to act this way?!
All of a sudden, a nameless ire rose inside of her.
While Chen Wei was shaking with anger, Chen Rong glanced at her and coldly said, “Ah Wei, what makes you think that I would sacrifice my own reputation for your happiness? Do you think all you have to do is kneel down and give me two kowtows, and I would destroy my future, my happiness and my life just to fulfill your wish?”
Chen Rong’s face was livid. She was also looking at Chen Wei in outrage and contempt. She placed her cup down, sprang to her feet, and pointed outside while howling: “Get out! Do you hear me? Leave!”
Chen Wei didn’t expect Chen Rong to be the angrier one. She completely froze.
While she was still in a befuddled state, Chen Rong went to her and started to drag her up by the arm.
Forthwith, she pushed Chen Wei out.
Chen Rong took Chen Wei by surprise by completing these actions swiftly and determinedly. Additionally, she had learned some martial arts and her strength was great. In just a flash, Chen Wei had been pushed to the doorway.
Chen Rong threw the door open and shoved her cousin outside.
Chen Wei staggered out the door, which then slammed shut amid the maids’ exclamations. Chen Rong’s outraged scream went roaring: “Ah Wei of the Chen House, you’re making a fuss over nothing. Don’t think you can walk all over me like this! Get out –”
Hearing the scream inside and seeing Chen Wei’s bruising forehead, both girls’ servants could only look at one another. They were making them awfully confused. Who was bullying whom, exactly?
At the servants’ scrutiny, Chen Wei recovered from her trance. She wordlessly looked at Chen Rong’s closed door, pressed her lips, then turned and walked away.
As soon as they left, Nurse Ping took two steps forward, leaned into the door and whispered, “Miss, Ah Wei has left.”
After a good long while, Chen Rong’s tired voice replied behind the door: “Good riddance.”
Seeing that she was willing to answer, the nurse continued to ask: “Miss, what had happened? Why did we hear the sound of head knocking on the ground?”
Chen Rong did not answer.
Nurse Ping waited for a while, but when she didn’t hear anything, she shook her head and walked off.
The day flew by. Do not steal from ha mster 428.
The next day, the sky cleared up and snow began to melt.
