"Sister Narcissus, what are you looking at?" A girl of about twelve or thirteen years old sitting opposite asked after looking at her.

Lu Shuixian snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "It's nothing. The auction is about to start. Let's go over there first, or there will be too many people later."

The little girl shook her head immediately, "No, I'll go when it starts soon."

"Besides, Father and my eldest brother will be going today, so I have to wait for them to go together."

When Lu Shuixian heard that Sun Xiuxian, the eldest son of the Sun family, would also be going, her eyes lit up. "Then let's wait for them to go together. My father will also be going."

This little girl is Sun Xiuyun, the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Sun of Fengxian Kingdom. She is both innocent and spoiled.

Prime Minister Sun is currently favored by the Emperor and has great power and influence. She is willing to deal with her precisely because of this, and even more so because she has her eye on Sun Xiuxian, the eldest son of the Sun family.

Sun Xiuyun thought for a moment and then said, "Never mind, my older brother won't let me go with you. Why don't you go first?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuixian almost lost her composure. "Brother Xiuxian still harbors such a deep prejudice against me?"

Sun Xiuyun shook her head and said, "Prejudice? No, he just said you have impure thoughts and told me to stay away from you."

"But I'm so bored, and you're the only one who's willing to play with me."

Lu Shuixian's face contorted with anger, and she forced a smile as she said, "Brother Xiuxian has misunderstood me."

"Probably, since you were always following Zhu Su around. Back then, Zhu Su was your sister's fiancé, so of course the rumors wouldn't have been nice."

These words were already like stabbing Lu Shuixian in the heart, but then Sun Xiuyun added something that made her want to lie down on the spot.

"It's being said in the social circles that you've already slept with Zhu Su, but now that Zhu Su has lost power, you're trying to sleep with my older brother."

"So, you want to sleep with my older brother?" Sun Xiuyun asked, her eyes still fixed on her.

Lu Shuixian couldn't hold back any longer, her eyes turning red with anger. "Who's spreading rumors and slandering me like this?"

She did try to climb into Zhu Su's bed, but Lu Xiwei happened to be there at the time, so she didn't succeed.

Therefore, she is still innocent.

Only Zhu Su and Lu Xiwei knew about this, so it must have been done by that bitch Lu Xiwei.

Looking at her red eyes, Sun Xiuyun continued to add insult to injury: "It shouldn't be slander, right? Someone said it with good reason and evidence at the time."

"Sister Narcissus, do you really want to sleep with my older brother?"

"That won't do. You have to give up that idea. You can be my friend, but you can't be my sister-in-law."

"You... Xiuyun, you actually believed it?" Lu Shuixian felt like a fool, being played by her.

Sun Xiuyun tilted her head and looked at her. "Why don't I believe you? Before, every time you saw me, you would look down on me like I was going to be a princess. Then, suddenly you became close to me. It's hard not to believe you."

Lu Shuixian gritted her teeth, "Then why are you still so intimate with me?"

"Intimate? How am I intimate with you? Didn't I say that I only let you follow me because no one else wants to play with me?" Sun Xiuyun, with her youthful face, spat out a series of knives, stabbing straight at Lu Shuixian's heart.

Lu Shuixian stood up angrily, "No wonder no one wants to play with you. With that mouth of yours, you deserve to be all alone."

"Also, I didn't sleep with Zhu Su, nor with your older brother. I'm innocent."

"I'm still sticking with you. If your father weren't the prime minister, do you think I'd want to be close to you?"

"At such a young age, your words are so piercing. Now I understand why Prime Minister Sun sent you to the countryside back then. It's because you have such a sharp tongue."

Sun Xiuyun looked at her calmly, her face expressionless, but you could tell from her eyes that she was angry.

“You’re wrong. My father sent me to the countryside because of my health. Now that I’ve recovered, I’m back.”

“My elder brother was right. You are not only wicked but also malicious, trying to drive a wedge between me and Father.”

Lu Shuixian sneered, "My mind is as vicious as your mouth. With a mouth like that, you'll probably never get married in this lifetime."

"Miss Lu, it seems this has been brewing for a long time." A cold voice came from the doorway.

Lu Shuixian froze.

Sun Xiuyun smiled as soon as she saw the person who came in, "Big Brother".

Sun Xiuxian walked over and patted her head, saying softly, "Father is waiting for you in the carriage downstairs to go to the auction together. Hurry up and go down; your brother will come down as soon as he's finished."

Sun Xiuyun nodded and left the private room without even glancing at Lu Shuixian.

After leaving the teahouse, we boarded the carriage parked at the entrance.

Seeing Prime Minister Sun sitting inside, he pouted and said, "Father."

"What's wrong? Who bullied my Xiuxiu?" Prime Minister Sun put down his book and pinched her little face.

Sun Xiuyun shook her head. "I said the wrong thing again."

Sun Xiuxian walked in and said, "It's nothing, he's not an important person."

"Tell me what you like at the auction later, and I'll buy it for you. Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

The whole family dotes on this younger sister.

First, she's adorable; second, she's been physically weak since childhood; and third, she has a problem—she can't control her tongue, and no matter who she's talking to, what she says is truly heartbreaking.

"I'm not angry, I'm just annoyed that I always speak too quickly." I didn't think much of it when I said it, but after thinking about it, I realized how hurtful it was.

Sun Xiuxian sighed, ruffled her hair, and said nothing more.

Prime Minister Sun asked, "Who is it this time?"

Sun Xiuxian said, "Lu Shuixian, the illegitimate daughter of General Lu, also speaks very sharply."

"How dare a concubine's daughter speak ill of my Xiuxiu?" Prime Minister Sun is ruthless and shrewd outside the home, but he is extremely protective of his family.

Sun Xiuxian said, "I have already taught them a lesson."

"Xiuxiu, don't associate with this kind of person anymore. They're too scheming and have impure motives."

Sun Xiuyun pouted and nodded. She didn't want to either, but she had no choice.

Because of her mouth, she scared away anyone who wanted to befriend her.

The carriage stopped in front of the Cloud Auction House.

As soon as Prime Minister Sun stepped off the carriage, people came to greet him. Prime Minister Sun glanced at Sun Xiuxian and then entered the auction hall with those people.

They arrived late, with only fifteen minutes left before the auction started, so they couldn't linger outside any longer.

Just as she was about to go in, a teenager rushed over and almost bumped into Sun Xiuyun.

He turned and jumped to the side, avoiding hitting her.

Sun Xiuyun glanced at the little boy and said, "Slow down, there are a lot of people here."

"Oh, sorry, I'll be careful." Yu Chuan smiled at her, then turned and waved, "Hurry up, Mom, it's about to start."

Sun Xiuyun followed his hand and saw a stunningly beautiful young woman leading a child by the hand as they walked towards them.

A slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, a smile in her eyes.

Shu Jianyue glanced at Sun Xiuyun, nodded to her, and then looked at Yu Chuan and said, "What's the rush? You almost bumped into someone."
