The Fourth Lady

After receiving the hairpin from Qingyan, Xiaocui smiled all the way back to her room. In the room, all the other servant girls made an envious look when they saw the hairpin in her hand. Originally, she didn't want to tell Chai Yiyun about this, but she knew that in this yard, there were also other spies of hers.

If she didn't tell her, then the one with an unfortunate end would definitely be her. After all, in Chai Yiyun's eyes, she was only a pawn. And a useless pawn would only be discarded.

Xiaocui glanced at the hairpin and quietly said to herself: Miss, you shouldn't blame me, I'm only doing this because I have no other choice.

Just as Xiaocui stored the hairpin into her sleeve, she saw Chai Yiyun's maid, Juyue standing at the door talking to another girl. Soon after, that girl called Xiaocui over.

When Juyue saw Xiaocui, she spoke in a distasteful tone, "Xiaocui, you have to know, your master now isn't the fourth miss."

Listening to Juyue's words, Xiaocui lowered her head and promptly replied, "Yes, Xiaocui's master now is madam. Xiaocui was just about to go report this matter to madam."

Juyue glanced at her in contempt before taking her to leave with her.

When Xiaocui saw Chai Yiyun, Chai Yiyun was in the middle of grooming. Seeing Xiaocui, she smiled, "I heard that girl gave you a hairpin, is this true?"

When Xiaocui heard this, she immediately presented the hairpin to Chai Yiyun, "This is the hairpin the miss gave me."

Chai Yiyun, seeing that the hairpin was made from a material she'd never seen before, picked it up and played with it in her hand, "Xiaocui, what kind of accessory do you think a servant like you should wear?"

Xiaocui understood that this was Chai Yiyun implying that she wanted the hairpin for herself. She promptly replied in a soft voice, "If madam likes it, then madam can have it."

Satisfied with what she heard, Chai Yiyun nodded her head and glanced to Meixue. Meixue brought out a bag of silver shards and handed it to her, "Take this money as payment for the hairpin."

Xiaocui smiled as she received the moneybag from Meixue, "Thank you very much, Madam."
