The second-in-command also realized what was happening. He had just turned around when he saw a woman rushing in.
As soon as Li Jiaojiao saw the second-in-command, she grabbed his sleeve and asked indignantly, "Daddy, who is this woman?!"
The second-in-command looked at her and whispered a reprimand: "Jiaojiao!"
Instead of calming down after hearing his words, Li Jiaojiao became even more agitated. She grabbed the second-in-command and said angrily, "Father! You're yelling at me! She's just a woman of unknown origin, and you're yelling at me for her sake! Is it just because she looks like a vixen?"
When Wei Qing heard the words "vixen," his face darkened even more. He looked at Li Jiaojiao and gritted his teeth, saying, "Li Jiaojiao, watch your words!"
Li Jiaojiao's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing Wei Qing's words. She stared at him and exclaimed, "Brother Wei Qing! You actually scolded me because of this woman?"
Seeing Li Jiaojiao trying to get closer to him, Wei Qing quickly took a few steps back and stood behind Sang Jiang.
Sang Jiang: ...
Li Jiaojiao missed her target and then started attacking Sang Jiang: "You are the Lord's daughter? I don't think so. I really don't know how you bewitched Brother Wei Qing and brought a woman of unknown origin like you to this dark tribe."
Sang Jiang raised her phoenix eyes slightly, looked Li Jiaojiao up and down before turning to Wei Qing and speaking softly: "Didn't you say you were an orphan your mother picked up? How come you have a younger sister? And your looks... tsk tsk, they're worlds apart."
Seeing that Sang Jiang was ignoring her and instead talking to Wei Qing in a language she couldn't understand, Li Jiaojiao became even more annoyed. She pointed at Sang Jiang, stomped her foot, and shouted, "What are you saying! I'm talking to you!"
Wei Qing completely ignored her and instead looked at Sang Jiang and said gently, "Jiang Jiang is right. Just by looking at her face, you can tell how ugly I could have such a sister. If I did, she would have to be like Jiang Jiang."
Li Jiaojiao's face instantly turned green. This time she finally understood what the two were saying. Weren't they implying that she was ugly?
You have to understand, she's the most beautiful woman in this dark tribe, and now someone's pointing fingers at her and calling her ugly, how could she possibly accept that?
She stomped her foot in dissatisfaction as she looked at the silent second-in-command standing to the side: "Father! They actually insulted me!"
"Alright, Jiaojiao!" The second-in-command finally realized he had to interrupt Li Jiaojiao. He looked at her and lowered his voice, saying, "She is the Lord's daughter, and also Princess Mingyue of the current dynasty. Wei Qing has been with her since childhood, how could he be mistaken! Stop making a scene!"
Li Jiaojiao: "How could that be! Who knows if Brother Weiqing has been bewitched by her! Besides, how can she prove that she is the Lord's daughter?"
"Jiaojiao!" The second-in-command interrupted her with a frown.
He was about to say something more when he was interrupted by another female voice: "Second Brother, Jiaojiao is right!"
Soon, another capable-looking woman walked in from outside.
As soon as she entered, she scanned the room. When her gaze fell on Sang Jiang, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
She looked at the second-in-command and continued, "Second Brother, I think Jiao Jiao has a point. Does she have any evidence to prove that she is Eldest Sister's daughter? If she doesn't have any evidence, I can't possibly acknowledge her!"
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Wei Qing, but her tone had softened considerably...
