Chapter 91 Two-Faced

As soon as Hua Wanli said this, all three people present felt it.

This girl looks gentle and kind, but she is definitely not as simple as she appears.

How could someone who fights even over birth order be as gentle as she appears!

This argument seems a bit far-fetched!

Aren't birth sizes determined by the order in which they are born?

But Hua Wanli's expression made it seem as if she really was the older sister.

"Miss Wanli, don't be so formal. There are no outsiders here. We've all met your brother... your younger brother before."

"Just treat this like your own home, make yourself at home," Shangguan Jin suddenly said with a smile.

Hua Wanli, who had been wearing a polite smile...

Did she reveal something?

How could it be so fast? It didn't even last the time it takes for an incense stick to burn? That's so lame!

Oh no! It seems that the longer I'm out in the world, the less I can hide myself.

No wonder that kid Qianli said he definitely wouldn't last half an hour here!

Haha, he really thinks too highly of himself!

But then I had another idea.

Lian Qianli told himself that the Duchess of Dingguo not only had a strong sense of righteousness, but was also a very knowledgeable woman.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to come up with an idea like the Tea Prince's.

Furthermore, even knowing that Lian Qianli was an assassin, he didn't report it to the authorities; instead, he saved him.

Therefore, the Duchess of Dingguo was not as rigid as people say.

Thinking of this, Hua Wanli breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really tiring to suppress your temper and be a perfect young lady.

Shangguan Jin and the others also sensed that Hua Wanli's demeanor had completely changed.

It wasn't just sitting next to the chair anymore; it was sitting much further back.

They don't sit up straight, but rather do whatever makes them comfortable.

“No wonder Lian Qianli said that Madam is a person who doesn’t care about details!” Hua Wanli said with a smile.

Shangguan Jin smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Lian."

Hua Wanli smiled sweetly at Shangguan Jin, Shen Qingyue, and Dongmai.

This smile is much more genuine than the previous ones.

Her eyes and eyebrows were curved, and her smile was clearly from the bottom of her heart.

Shangguan Jin felt as if a small pear blossom had flown right in front of her, and she was about to grab it.

Then the little pear blossom made a 180-degree turn and flew away in a flash.

The main theme is "Just kidding, no questions asked."

"Does Miss Wanli usually dress like this when she goes on missions?" Shangguan Jin asked curiously.

"Even Qianli is telling you this!"

"That kid really doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut, just like his dad." Hua Wanli rolled her eyes in a way that everyone could see.

Shangguan Jin...

“No, it’s not that. Your brother said you helped him a lot,” Shen Qingyue said subconsciously from the side.

Hua Wanli smiled.

"My brother has always been sharp-tongued; no matter who it is, they will say nice things about him."

However, this must be inherited from my father.

"That's just how my dad is, all talk and no action, but he's actually an irresponsible jerk," Hua Wanli said.

Shangguan Jin...

This seems to be different from what they heard.

Actually, you can't blame Hua Wanli for this.

When Hua Wanli was little, just as she was beginning to understand things, she, like other children, would chase after Hua Yueniang and ask who her father was.

Hua Yue Niang didn't want to find another father for Hua Wanli, so she had to make up various reasons.

You absolutely cannot reveal that you were the one who got her father for free back then!

In the first year, he said that his father had initially been fickle and abandoned him, always looking for something new and then discarding the old.

The following year, she said that her father had a white moonlight in his heart and was using her as a substitute.

In the third year, her father had another childhood sweetheart, and it was for that sweetheart that he abandoned her and her mother.

In the fourth year, her father became a gigolo who cheated her out of money and sex.

In the fifth year, her father became the world's number one villain, someone who only wanted sons and not daughters, and who thought about getting rid of his mother and keeping his son every day.

......

Anyway, the first lesson Hua Yueniang taught Hua Wanli was that there is no good man in the world.

There's no limit to how awful they can get!

Therefore, every time Hua Wanli goes to the Ruyi Alliance, the first thing she does is search the alliance thoroughly, determined to find the woman who made her father abandon his wife and daughter...

Over time, under the influence of both Wan Hua Lou and Ru Yi Meng,

Hua Wanli has finally become the person she is today, putting on one face in public and another in private.

Shangguan Jin and the others remained silent.

This is their family matter; they shouldn't interfere.

Seeing that Shangguan Jin and the others were no longer asking, Hua Wanli remembered what Shangguan Jin had asked her earlier: what clothes she should wear when she went out on missions.

"Madam, I dressed like this today because I'm visiting your residence."

This was specially made for me by the embroiderers that my mother asked.

I only wear it a few times a year.

As for helping that kid Lian Qianli with his missions...

Dressed entirely in black, as black as possible.

Also, even if you have to cover your face.

Lian Qianli said I have beautiful eyes, so I'm going to wear a hat with a veil over my face.

"Anyway, I can't let anyone know who I am," Hua Wanli said with a smile.

Shangguan Jin nodded. "That's right, that should be it."

Otherwise, with Hua Wanli's face alone, no one would forget her!

Oh, not really. So what if I've seen it?

How many of the mission objectives will survive?

“Miss Wanli is very clever, but Young Master Lian invited you here, is there something you need?” Shangguan Jin changed the subject.

The previous topic touched on someone's work privacy, so it's best to ask less.

Upon hearing this, Hua Wanli realized the main task she had come for today and hurriedly took out a few sheets of paper from her sleeve.

"Madam, this is the contract for that teahouse."

Lian Qianli said it was three parts, and there is a detailed explanation in the book. Please take a look.

Two copies were made, and he had already put his fingerprint on them.

Please take a look first. If it's not suitable, let me know and I'll have him revise it when I get back.

As he spoke, he placed the two contracts on the table next to Shangguan Jin.

Shangguan Jin glanced through it and nodded.

"Okay, I'll watch it in a bit."

Miss Wanli, please have your meal at the manor today!

Let Sister Yao accompany you. You're not that far apart in age, so you should have things to talk about.

"Sister Yao, why don't you stay with Miss Wanli in place of your mother?" Shangguan Jin said with a smile.

Shen Qingyue readily agreed, and then took Hua Wanli's hand and left Shangguan Jin's courtyard.

As soon as Hua Wanli took Shen Qingyue's hand, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Look, these are the hands of a true lady from a distinguished family—soft and boneless, truly delicate and graceful!

It's definitely different from what I've been soaking in this kind of medicine.

Shen Qingyue was also sighing.

Are those incredibly soft hands really meant for wielding knives and swords?

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
