Chapter 29: Overbearing
Yu Niaoniao stared straight into his face.
Jiang Ze’s smile deepened. It seemed that his cousin had been deeply charmed by his handsome appearance.
Sure enough, this was a country girl with no experience and no substance.
He could take her down easily.
To think his aunt had been so defensive towards her.
The next moment, he heard Yu Niaoniao exclaim.
“Ah, Cousin, there’s powder on your face!”
Everyone turned to look at Jiang Ze.
Indeed, there was a little white powder on his outerwear.
Jiang Ze instinctively covered his face.
This touch immediately rubbed off more makeup.
So the reason he was so pale was because he had applied a thick layer of powder to his face.
Jiang Ze could no longer maintain his smile, and his expression became extremely ugly.
“Are you deliberately embarrassing me, Cousin?”
Yu Niaoniao blinked and said sincerely.
“I’m not. I’m just reminding you that your makeup is off. If you prefer rouge and powder, I suggest a better choice of cosmetics.
Don’t make it so white, don’t make it so thick. The make-up will look better when it’s as natural as possible…”
“Enough!” Jiang Ze interrupted her.
He really didn’t want to hear it any more. His face darkened as he cursed fiercely.
“You’re just a country bumpkin from the countryside who doesn’t know anything. How dare you teach me how to look good? Do you even know what beauty is?”
Yu Niaoniao explained seriously, “I’m from Bashu. Bashu is not a rural place.”
Although Bashu was not as prosperous as the Imperial Capital, it was still a good place with abundant resources.
Jiang Ze sneered. “If Bashu is really a good place, why did you come all the way to the Imperial Capital? It’s because that place is so dilapidated that you can’t stay there!”
Yu Niaoniao seemed to have thought of something, and her expression darkened.
Dang Gui could not stand it any longer. She stepped forward to retort.
“You’ve never even been to Bashu. What makes you say that?!”
Others might not know, but Dang Gui knew very well that Miss did not leave Bashu willingly. If not for that incident, Miss would still be living well in Bashu. Why would she come all the way to the Yu family to suffer?
Jiang Ze squinted at her and said disdainfully, “Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?!”
Then, he glanced at the butler and questioned him coldly.
“How dare she interrupt when the Master is speaking? Is this the rule of your Yu family?”
The butler did not dare to offend either side and could only bite the bullet and say awkwardly.
“Young Master, didn’t you say you were here to visit Madam? It’s getting late. Please follow me.”
Jiang Ze, however, refused to give up. His tone was aggressive.
“Shouldn’t you teach such an unruly servant a lesson?”
He held his breath. He knew he couldn’t do anything to her openly. In that case, he would vent his anger on the people around Yu Niaoniao!
Seeing this, the butler could only whisper to Jiang Ze.
“Young Master, let’s forget about this matter. Missy still has very important things to do. We can’t delay her time.”
Jiang Ze sneered in disdain. “What important thing can she have?”
The butler said, “Young Master has been captured by the Eagle Guards. Eldest Miss is going to plead with Prince Lang.”
Jiang Ze was taken aback.
The reason he came to the Yu Residence today was because of his cousin, Yu Sheng.
He was usually quite close to Yu Sheng. After learning that Yu Sheng had been captured, he couldn’t sleep the entire night. This morning, he specially came to the Yu Mansion to inquire about the situation.
Jiang Ze sneered, “Can she really make Duke Lang let him go?”
