"Fourth Sister-in-law, this fan is blowing directly at you. I'm afraid you can't take it, so I'll adjust it to rotate and blow." Huangfu Yue felt the breeze from the electric fan and said considerately.
When she first entered the carriage, she noticed how stuffy it was and had turned the fan to medium.
However, the medium setting was a bit strong, and blowing continuously at Yang Wanqian, who was delicate and pregnant, she feared she might catch a cold. It would be better to adjust the fan to rotate.
"This electric fan can rotate and blow?" Yang Wanqian was even more astonished.
The others also revealed looks of surprise.
After Huangfu Yue nodded, she reached out to press the button to make the fan rotate. The electric fan began to turn 90 degrees.
Seeing this, Yang Wanqian and the others' eyes widened. They found it magical, and one of the maids even exclaimed.
"I'll teach you how to use the electric fan, how to turn it on and off, how to control its wind speed, how to make it rotate, and how to stop it."
As Huangfu Yue spoke, she began to teach Yang Wanqian and the others how to use the electric fan, explaining the function of each button.
After explaining, she had each of them reach out and operate it, trying to press the buttons and learn to use the fan.
The electric fan was quite simple, and everyone in the carriage quickly learned how to use it. Even Ying'er, who was driving outside, learned how to use it just by listening.
"Alright, I'll go find Grandmother and the others and give each carriage a fan. Grandmother and the others must be terribly hot right now." Huangfu Yue said.
She couldn't just give Yang Wanqian's carriage a fan; the other carriages should receive them too. She couldn't show favoritism.
Yang Wanqian nodded. Huangfu Yue left the carriage, jumped down from the carriage, and went to the carriages behind, delivering an electric fan to each of them.
The people in the carriages behind were as surprised as Yang Wanqian and the others when they saw the electric fan. They were extremely curious about it and asked Huangfu Yue many questions. Especially the children, who always had the most questions, making Huangfu Yue tired of answering. In the end, she didn't want to answer anymore.
With the electric fans, it instantly became cool, making everyone in the carriages grateful to Huangfu Yue and praising her, except for Xu Yuqing…
"Huangfu Yue has such a good thing, but she didn't think of taking it out earlier, making us suffer in the heat for so long… Was she doing it on purpose?"
Xu Yuqing, while enjoying the cool breeze from the fan and feeling so comfortable she wanted to moan, complained with dissatisfaction.
"She didn't think of bringing out these sofas for us to sit on from the beginning either. I had to ask her for them, and only then did she conjure them up for us to sit on… She's clearly doing it on purpose." Xu Yuqing cursed.
While the seats in the carriage were acceptable, they looked nowhere near as comfortable as the sofas that Old Madam Zheng and Yang Wanqian were sitting on yesterday. After leaving Mi Dian Town for a while, she got off the carriage to find Huangfu Yue and requested to switch seats, replacing the carriage seats with sofas.
Fortunately, Huangfu Yue didn't refuse and replaced them without a word. Otherwise, she would have definitely started scolding.
Speaking of this, because she requested to switch seats and sit on sofas, Huangfu Yue also replaced all the seats in the other carriages with sofas. Zhu Jiayi and Zhong Liangshu were also fortunate enough to sit on sofas because of her. They didn't even come to express their gratitude or thank her. They were truly impolite, a bunch of ungrateful wretches.
The wet nurses and maids serving Xu Yuqing, as well as Jiang Shangyun, who was driving the carriage in front, remained silent and did not engage with Xu Yuqing.
How could Huangfu Yue have done it on purpose? But refuting Xu Yuqing's words would surely anger her. Following along with Xu Yuqing's words, however, they feared that people in other carriages might overhear. Xu Yuqing didn't fear being heard, but they couldn't compare to her; they were afraid.
Huangfu Ling, having not slept well the previous night, had been drowsy and dozing off more than half an hour ago. She was now lying in Fang'er's arms asleep. Otherwise, she would definitely have spoken a word of fairness for Huangfu Yue.
Although she was still young, she quite liked Huangfu Yue and dared to speak up for her.
Seeing that no one was agreeing with her, Xu Yuqing was somewhat displeased. She furrowed her delicate brows and asked, "Don't you think so?"
"Eldest Miss, the carriages in front and behind are quite close to ours. If we speak, people in the carriages in front and behind will hear us," Wet Nurse Song reminded her, a hint of deep helplessness flashing in her eyes.
"So what if they hear!" Xu Yuqing was unconcerned, even showing an expression of "what are you afraid of?"
"Did I scold Huangfu Yue? You're still afraid people will hear and tell Huangfu Yue. What I said just now were reasonable suspicions. Can't I have reasonable suspicions?" she said with righteous indignation.
Wet Nurse Fang, the maids, and Jiang Shangyun in front were all speechless at Xu Yuqing, but they dared not show it.
"I think Huangfu Yue did it on purpose. She just wants to mess with me," Xu Yuqing suddenly changed the subject, her expression very certain.
She was still pondering if Huangfu Yue did it on purpose and had reached a conclusion.
"Huangfu Yue is truly petty. Just because I offended her earlier, she's doing this to me. How hateful!" Xu Yuqing cursed.
"Eldest Miss, stop scolding! Have you forgotten what this old servant told you earlier? Both you and Miss Ying will have to rely on Miss Yue more in the future." Wet Nurse Song couldn't stand it anymore and reminded her again, also giving her a meaningful glance.
Xu Yuqing's delicate brows furrowed, and the displeasure on her face deepened. She glared at Wet Nurse Song.
"Even if we have to rely on Huangfu Yue, we can't always be angered by her. I also can't be bullied by her and still endure it, staying silent, swallowing my pride! There's no such logic!" Xu Yuqing exclaimed and cursed loudly.
Jiang Shangyun knitted his brows. This woman is truly…
He had to stop her from continuing to curse!
He turned his head to look at Xu Yuqing and gave her a fawning smile, "Second Mistress, please calm your anger! It's just a small matter, hardly worth you getting angry and agitated."
Xu Yuqing's brows furrowed even tighter, and she immediately glared at Jiang Shangyun.
Jiang Shangyun still smiled at her. He wasn't surprised that she would be displeased and angry with him.
In fact, he didn't want to displease her or make her angry with him. He wanted to remain silent as before.
However, to prevent her from continuing to curse and verbally abuse Huangfu Yue to the point where Huangfu Yue in front would hear, he had no choice but to speak up and stop her…
