Xue Qingshang glanced at Yu Jiao and said, "Let's go, Miss Liu San, I'll take you out of the palace."
The late summer sunlight fell on the red palace wall, turning it brick red. The two walked on the corridor paved with small green bricks. Xue Qingshang glanced at Yu Jiao's face. Today was the first time she looked at the girl's appearance so carefully.
It turns out that Miss Liu San, who grew up in the countryside, was actually not bad looking. She had a porcelain-white face and a pair of eyes that were as lively as a cat's. They were big, round, black and clear. She had a pretty appearance that one could see if one looked closely.
It's just that she never took this person seriously before and didn't care how she looked.
Thinking about how she had wanted to please Yu Qizhe before, Xue Qingshang couldn't help biting her lip. Thinking about it now, she felt a little embarrassed.
Yu Jiao was not unaware of Xue Qingshang's gaze, but she was able to keep her composure, so she just walked quietly.
After a while, Xue Qingshang's lips loosened slightly, and she finally couldn't help but speak: "I can't understand why he is willing to marry you. You have been siblings for so many years, and it must be very awkward for your sister to suddenly become your wife. There is still a big difference between siblings and husband and wife."
After Yu Jiao listened quietly, she smiled slowly: "He and I have never been more than brother and sister. Didn't the Princess of Changle hear about it? I was fostered in the Yu family in the beginning, and I was going to marry him to bring good luck."
Xue Qingshang was surprised for a moment. She had heard these groundless rumors, but she did not expect that Yu Jiao would so generously admit such an insulting statement.
After a moment of surprise, Xue Qingshang's face quickly turned cold with shame and anger. If Liu Yujiao and Yu Qizhe had never been more than siblings, then why did she rush to please her and repeatedly express her feelings for Yu Qizhe? Her elder sister even went to find Liu Yujiao to test Yu Qizhe's attitude for her. Didn't Liu Yujiao find all these disrespectful actions very funny?
"Are you very proud? Have you been laughing at me behind my back? I, Changle, have lost my face and kept trying to get close to the man I never wanted, and now I have easily arranged a marriage with you!" After all, Xue Qingshang grew up with dignity. Once she doesn't want to be friends with you, her innate dignity and arrogance will all be revealed. For someone who can move freely in the palace, a cold face is quite imposing.
At this moment, she was so angry and embarrassed that she looked at Yu Jiao with disgust and confrontation in her eyes.
Xue Qingshang suspected that when her elder sister asked Liu Yujiao to test Yu Qizhe's feelings, Liu Yujiao might not have tried her best, and even discredited her in front of Yu Qizhe. Otherwise, why did Yu Qizhe always treat her coldly and indifferently.
"Liu Yujiao, you are so scheming at such a young age. You used siblings as a shield and even deceived my elder sister. Did you never say anything good about me in front of Yu Qizhe?"
Yu Jiao looked at her indifferently, feeling a little subtle. She didn't expect that a talented and proud woman like Xue Qingshang would become so unreasonable and lose all her intelligence because of jealousy.
"You're overthinking, County Lady. I conveyed every word the Empress instructed me to say without missing a single word." Yu Jiao looked cold. She didn't want to explain too much. What happened between her and Yu Qizhe couldn't be explained in just a few words.
"What's the point of you talking to me about this now? Men and women who want to get married should be willing on both sides. It's not your turn to worry about how Yu Qizhe and I get along after marriage. Since we are getting married, we will naturally learn how to get along as husband and wife." Yu Jiao was a little angry. Why would women target another woman once they fall in love with a common man?
