Upon hearing this, Xie Jingyi grabbed her hand and said, "Yiyi, you don't need to be subservient to her. My marriage is not for her to decide."
"Jingyi, don't say such hurtful things. My sister isn't petty, so why are you being so mean... Sigh!" Rong Yiyi sighed.
Rong Qingqing couldn't help but sigh. Rong Yiyi really knew how to be a good person. She was ostensibly speaking up for Xie Jingyi, but in reality, she was implying that Xie Jingyi was narrow-minded and that she would definitely cause trouble for Xie Jingyi's marriage in the future.
"Yiyi, stop trying to be a good person. You've seen it yourself, Jingyi is a woman of strong will. Her marriage is probably beyond my control. At worst, you can use your status as the future Third Prince's consort to find Jingyi a good match. With your status as the future Third Prince's consort, finding a good match shouldn't be difficult."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingyi's heart stirred slightly, and she looked at Rong Yiyi with hopeful eyes.
Yes, Yiyi is the future consort of the Third Prince. Once the Third Prince ascends the throne, Yiyi will be the Empress. Since she is on good terms with Yiyi, how could she not find a good marriage?
That bitch Rong Qingqing finally said something right. As Yiyi's future Third Prince's consort, finding her a good marriage is a trivial matter.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Rong Qingqing's words, Rong Yiyi's expression changed, and she said awkwardly, "Everything is still unknown. Sister, you're speaking too soon."
Rong Qingqing affectionately took her arm, "Yiyi, don't be modest. It's a sure thing that you'll become the future Third Prince's consort." She paused, then hesitated, "Are you saying this because you don't want to help Jingyi?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingyi immediately looked at Rong Yiyi nervously, "Yiyi?"
Rong Yiyi was furious. What kind of idiot was this? He was thinking about such nonsense. He had forgotten the important matter after being egged on by Rong Qingqing. Even if she had the ability, she would not help this idiot.
Don't you even know your own worth? You still want to climb the social ladder!
“Sister, you are mistaken. If I had the ability, I would naturally help Jingyi. The key is that I am only engaged to the Third Prince now. It is hard to say what will happen in the future. Sister, please don’t say those things. It will only make you a laughing stock.” Rong Yiyi’s tone was forced.
"I don't know if you're genuinely being modest, or if you just don't want to help Jingyi. But that's all your own business. Alright, I won't say any more. Let's go inside." Rong Qingqing took Shangguan Yanran's hand and went into the house on her own.
Rong Yiyi stared at her retreating figure, her eyes filled with gloom.
Xie Jingyi was still pondering the meaning behind Rong Qingqing's words when she saw her silent. A thought struck her: Could it be that Yiyi really was unwilling to help her, just as Rong Qingqing had said?
Thinking of this, she frowned and took Rong Yiyi's hand, saying, "Yiyi, I have completely offended Rong Qingqing. She will definitely try to trip me up in the future. You have to help me."
Rong Yiyi snapped out of her daze, glanced at her coldly, and pulled her hand away, looking quite annoyed. "My sister is the matriarch of the Marquis's mansion. She will naturally make the decisions for your marriage. If I were to bypass her and help you directly, wouldn't that upset her? Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't want to break ties with her."
Xie Jingyi felt uncomfortable from her cold gaze, and her heart sank even further after hearing what she said. She looked at her with a sense of unfamiliarity.
"We've been friends for so many years, and yet in your eyes, I'm actually inferior to Rong Qingqing?"
