Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

Chapter 71: Deferential Treatment

During the shopping spree, they bought two things. Liang Xiuqin spent more than 3,000 yuan on herself, which was an exceedingly large amount of money.

The Wilson tennis racket that they bought for the eldest son cost 15,000 yuan, and they also bought a designer shawl for Mrs. Chen.

If Yun Xi had gone to the Chen family’s house by herself, she could have gone empty-handed or taken some fruit that she had bought from street vendors along the way. Mrs. Chen knew about her situation at the Yun family’s house, and she didn’t care about superficial etiquette.

In Mrs. Chen’s own words, the Chen family had no need for anything, and they didn’t want her to struggle to buy some trifling gifts.

But if her mother wanted to take advantage of her, how could she not set a trap for her and have her bleed some money?

This time, quite a lot of money had been bled, so her mother would probably feel distressed for quite a while.

However, this money had been spent for Yun Ziling, so her mother probably wouldn’t be that distressed.

Before leaving the house, Liang Xiuqin pulled Yun Ziling aside to whisper something that she hid from Yun Xi to prevent her from eavesdropping.

Yun Xi glanced at the two of them from outside the window. She wasn’t very worried about Yun Ziling trying to embarrass her in front of the Chen family.

When Yun Ziling got in the car, she couldn’t conceal the pride and gleeful mischief on her face.

Yun Xi turned her head and glanced at her. It seemed that whatever Liang Xiuqin had been whispering about concerned her and probably meant trouble for her.

She had suffered so much misfortune in her last life, and she knew to beware of it in this life.

Yesterday, Yun Xi had called Jiang Wanyun in advance to let them know they were coming, and so the butler was waiting at the door to receive them.

It was Yun Ziling’s first time coming to the Chen family’s mansion, and her eyes were full of awe as she stared at the luxurious villa from the car window.

She glanced at Yun Xi, who was asleep in the passenger seat, and she sneered as she looked at her with a disdainful expression.

Only she would have the right to come here if she married into this distinguished family in the future. Someone unsophisticated like Yun Xi would have no right to socialize with the likes of her.

So what if she was Grandfather Jiang’s favorite: if the Jiang family’s second son didn’t like country bumpkins like her, nothing would come to fruition.

Buzzing with excitement, she took out her compact and started to reapply her makeup. She wanted to appear as flawless as possible.

As soon as the car stopped, Yun Xi woke up. Before she could even react, Yun Ziling pushed open her door and got out of the car.

She greeted the butler at the door courteously, but also obsequiously, “Greetings, Uncle, I am Yun Ziling.”

The butler stared at the girl with a dumbfounded expression, then frowned and asked, “Who are you? Where is the young lady from the Yun family?”

Yun Ziling gritted her teeth. Couldn’t he see that she was also a lady from the Yun family?

Finally managing to muster a smile, Yun Ziling said with a lighthearted expression, “I am Yun Xi’s sister. I’ve come with her.”

“Then... Ah, Miss Yun...”

The butler ignored her and turned to look at Yun Xi, who was still sitting in the passenger seat. He stepped forward to open the door for her very politely.

It was as if she was the true majestic princess.

Such deferential treatment made Yun Ziling’s face darken like a thundercloud.

She glared ferociously at Yun Xi, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on her bag.

How was it possible that that wretched girl, who had absolutely no manners, could actually be more popular than she was?

Yun Ziling’s attempts to charm hadn’t worked on the butler. Yun Xi rubbed her eyes and smiled at the butler.

“Uncle Chen, we meet again! It’s starting to get cold these days, so I’ll give you some herbal tea. Remember to drink it consistently.”

“Miss Yun is too kind. I’m old now, but I want to stay by the old man’s side for a few more years, so I’ll keep on drinking it.”

The last time Yun Xi had stayed at the Chen family’s house, she’d noticed that the housekeeper had rheumatism and had specially prescribed a herbal tea for him to drink.

It not only helped maintain health, but also helped nurse one back to health, so it was better than taking medicine.

The two of them chatted enthusiastically at the door and ignored Yun Ziling.

On the small balcony on the second floor, Chen Yichen nonchalantly leaned against the railing.

He stared at the uninvited guest at the door ambivalently, then smirked mischievously, and turned around to head back into his bedroom.
