What if someone sees them and says that Qiu's niece is mean-spirited?
Zhu Jiayu looked up at the sky: "Does my cousin want me to go back and change? But if I do that, I'm afraid it will take up too much time."
Never mind then.
Qiu Lingyan was unwilling to wait for her. After changing her clothes, she would have to do her makeup again, which would take a long time.
"Let's go." She smiled and said, "My cousin is beautiful. Others rely on clothes to make them look good, but you're different. You look good in anything."
The two men and Qiu Zhuqing's brothers went out together, and the carriage slowly drove towards Bailu Mountain outside the city.
Unable to contain her loneliness, Qiu Lingyan chattered on and on with Qiu Zhuqing and Qiu Songdao: "The spring scenery is so beautiful, yet I've come to send you two to the academy. I'm afraid there are no other sisters in the world as considerate as I am."
Qiu Songdao couldn't stand her smugness, so he deliberately poured cold water on her enthusiasm: "How do you know that Miss Song won't go to see her brother off?"
Qiu Lingyan snorted coldly: "If she had that kind of free time, she would have been enjoying the advances of others long ago. Why would she waste her time on Young Master Song? The two of them are not blood-related siblings, so she doesn't need to be so attentive!"
Zhu Jiayu listened silently to the side, thinking to herself, it seems that Qiu Lingyan and this Miss Song don't get along very well.
Seemingly noticing her thoughtful expression, Qiu Lingyan said, "Logically speaking, since you're new here, it's not appropriate for me, as your older cousin, to speak ill of others. However, this Miss Song is quite different. If you meet her, you must be very careful."
The Qiu family all knew that Qiu Lingyan and Song Jiangmei had some disagreements, so Qiu Zhuqing and Qiu Songdao's expressions didn't change when they heard her speak like that. In any case, even if they said that a lady wouldn't talk badly about people behind their backs, she wouldn't listen, so they might as well keep quiet and have some peace and quiet.
Although Zhu Jiayu didn't ask why, the look of seeking knowledge in her eyes was unmistakable.
Qiu Lingyan gritted her teeth: "Good girls from respectable families all care about their reputation, but she is not, so she acts very promiscuously and likes to steal other people's sweethearts."
Zhu Jiayu didn't ask any further questions and obediently nodded: "I understand, thank you for reminding me, cousin."
Seeing that she was obedient, Qiu Lingyan found her more agreeable than usual and said, "That's right. Let me tell you, with the Qiu family's background, you can choose from half of the young talents in Heling City. If you take a fancy to someone, you should quickly ask your mother to make the decision for you and settle things as soon as possible. Don't let that little bitch Song Jiangmei snatch him away halfway!"
As Zhu Jiayu listened to her, her hand unconsciously began to caress the lotus pendant at her waist.
Qiu Lingyan had wanted to ask for a long time, and now that she had the chance, she winked at her and said, "The origin of this jade pendant is not simple, is it? Could it be a token of love given to our Ayu by that young master?"
