The others naturally didn't notice Yang Mu'an's movements. Another woman in a pale yellow dress couldn't help but say, "This family is really strange. The father slept with the woman his son brought back, and the older sister stole her younger sister's man. I wonder if Prince Tianyi is regretting it now."
She couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.
Upon hearing this woman's words, the woman who had spoken earlier couldn't help but laugh: "Look at what Miss Zhang is saying. Haven't you also been infatuated with Prince Yi for a long time? Now you're getting jealous?"
Ms. Zhang's face flushed with embarrassment: "You!"
She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and said with a forced smile, "Miss Wang, that's not right. I seem to remember that you turned down many handsome men while waiting for the Eighth Prince. Did the Eighth Prince even look at you? You're already twenty-nine years old."
She suddenly covered her mouth as she said this: "Oh, I almost forgot, Miss Wang, you are a bit older after all, so it's not a big deal for you to scold your younger sister a little."
She stood up and curtsied, saying, "This younger sister apologizes to her older sister."
As soon as Miss Zhang finished speaking, Miss Wang's face darkened. She always hated it when people talked about her age. Others her age were already married and had children, so age was now her biggest sore spot.
Princess Yongping smiled as she listened to the two bickering. When they were almost at each other's limit, she finally spoke up to smooth things over: "Alright, you're all sisters, you should always be outwardly friendly, why are you fighting amongst yourselves?"
She disliked neither of them. They had helped her a lot in marrying Liang Xuanyu. If it weren't for them, she would have been with Yun-ge long ago!
They forced her to marry a scumbag like Liang Xuanyu; how could she possibly let them have their way?
Miss Wang glared at Miss Zhang before turning to Princess Yongping and saying ingratiatingly, "Your Highness is right."
Miss Zhang glared back at her, not to be outdone. She was about to speak when she heard a familiar voice.
Long Tianyi frowned as he looked at Sang Rui: "Rui'er? What are you doing here? What happened to you? Why do you look so pale?"
Seeing Long Tianyi's aggrieved, wrinkled face, Sang Rui's eyes reddened as she said, "Yi~"
"What's wrong?" Long Tianyi took two steps forward and grabbed her hand.
Having genuinely loved her, Long Tianyi's heart still ached when he saw Sang Rui's pale face.
Sang Rui pursed her lips: "It's nothing. Seeing you makes me feel much better. I'm fine."
As she spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Long Tianyi became even more nervous. He looked at Xiaoya following behind and couldn't help but raise his voice a little: "What's wrong with your young lady?"
Xiaoya looked down at Sang Rui with a troubled expression, then lowered her head again.
Long Tianyi was slightly annoyed. He looked at Sang Rui and said in a forceful tone, "Speak."
Sang Rui sniffed, leaned close to Long Tianyi's ear, and whispered something.
Long Tianyi's expression relaxed slightly: "But it doesn't have to look that bad."
Before he could ask again, Aya wisely spoke up: "After all that's happened recently, everyone's been saying that you don't like our young lady anymore, Your Highness. When I tried to teach them a lesson, our young lady always said that Your Highness is busy and it's alright. I know that Your Highness cares about me, and that's enough. I really felt sorry for her, so I thought of bringing her out to relax, but I never expected..."
