They had already given in to her wishes and held a second vote, but the result was that Shangguan Tianyun's votes were several times higher than hers.
In that case, she should be convinced.
Mu Yaozhi never expected that her proposal would end in such a humiliating defeat, as her meager votes were not even a fraction of Shangguan Tianyun's!
She gritted her teeth, and tears she had been holding back for so long finally streamed down her face.
Even Yu Shanlai, who had been competing with her for many years, had never crushed her like this, yet this woman who came from some remote, impoverished place to the capital had suppressed her so miserably.
How could she accept this?
Always arrogant, Mu Yaozhi wiped away her tears and said coldly, "It was just a small test, nothing much. What's wrong with giving her the first place?"
Tianyun glanced sideways, finding it somewhat amusing.
You were the one who suggested a revote, and now that I've won, it's like you were letting me win.
She tapped the table with her index finger, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "Miss Mu, you flatter me."
The study session is almost over.
Yu Shanlai walked gracefully to Tianyun and said soothingly, "Sister, don't be angry. Miss Mu has always been straightforward. Even if her words were a bit harsh, please bear with her."
If someone who didn't know the situation heard this, they would definitely think that she and Mu Yaozhi had a very deep relationship and that she had come all the way to speak well of her.
But the scene of her confrontation with Mu Yaozhi that day was still vivid in her mind.
Tianyun quickly realized that she was probably there to escalate the conflict, so she calmly said, "I'm not angry. I just won by luck this time."
Yu Shanlai sighed softly, as if she were sharing the same feeling.
"My sister is naturally humble and gentle, but I wonder what Miss Mu is thinking. I've known her for many years and know she's extremely competitive. I'm afraid my sister's days ahead won't be easy!"
They really came to sow discord...
Tianyun's eyes flashed, and she feigned panic, saying, "I didn't mean to do this either. What should I do now? Please, sister, give me your advice!"
"I wouldn't say I'm giving you pointers." She took Tianyun's hand and patted it, saying, "It's just that I felt an instant connection with you the moment I saw you, sister. We're both reserved and easy to get along with, so I couldn't help but come up to you to get to know you."
He frowned and sighed again, "We are in the same situation. I defeated Miss Mu once and had some interaction with the Second Prince, so she regarded me as an enemy."
If the two of us could stay together, perhaps we could gain a chance to catch our breath under her control.
She pulled herself into her camp to fight Mu Yaozhi, all for the sake of Xiao Ziyan?
That's a clever plan, but you've got it wrong. I'm not interested in him at all.
Tianyun's smile faded slightly. She gently withdrew her hand, her clear, bright eyes fixed on her.
“Sister, you are mistaken. I have never had any interaction with the Second Prince, nor will I in the future. If that is what you think, then I must take my leave.”
She still had something to say to the boy, but he always walked very fast, so she had to stop him immediately. She really couldn't waste any time here.
Yu Shanlai's eyes suddenly turned icy cold.
Yu Lan had told her yesterday that Shangguan Tianyun was infatuated with the Second Prince. Now, he was pretending to be indifferent and refusing to join forces with her.
With all this scheming, could it be that she wants to monopolize His Highness's favor?!
