Chen Liyue was annoyed. She had just seen Wei Rushu and was so happy that she forgot about Xu Qier. Now that she had spoken, she couldn't leave her alone, so she had to introduce them to the two of them.
"This is Miss Wei from Duke Wei's family." Shen Liyue turned to Wei Rushu and said, "This is Miss Xu from Minister Xu's family."
Shen Liyue looked at Wei Rushu with a face full of apologies, but Wei Rushu didn't care about it. Wei Rushu was present when Xu Qier asked Shen Liyue to go out shopping that day.
Wei Rushu certainly trusts Shen Liyue, and the friends she makes will not stab her in the back.
Wei Rushu had recognized Xu Qier a long time ago, but Xu Qier only just realized that she was Wei Rushu, Wang Wentian's wife who was not married yet.
Xu Qier saw Wei Rushu at the palace banquet that day, but she didn't know she was Wei Rushu. Xu Qier had always been arrogant and purposeful, only befriending those who were useful to her or who she feared, and Shen Liyue was one of them.
Xu Qi'er boasted that while her beauty wasn't stunning, few in the capital could compare. However, Shen Liyue made her feel threatened.
Xu Qier's beauty is wantonly and flamboyant, while Shen Liyue's beauty is gentle and subtle. When Xu Qier smiles, she is charming and attractive, while when Shen Liyue smiles, she makes people feel cute and naive.
But Xu Qier had to admit that Shen Liyue was beautiful. Even in the eyes of the elders, Shen Liyue's beauty was more outstanding than hers.
As for Wei Rushu, Xu Qier didn't take her seriously at that time.
It’s not that Wei Rushu is not good-looking, it’s just that he can’t compare with himself.
Xu Qier once said in front of Wang Wentian that Wei Rushu might be an ugly monster. Now that she has seen her in person, although she thinks she is not ugly, she is not as ugly as herself.
Was it because of such a person that Wang Wentian rejected him?
Xu Qier spoke again, her tone now tinged with amusement. "So this is Miss Wei."
Wei Rushu said gracefully, "Meet Miss Xu."
Xu Qier said, "Calling me Miss Xu seems a bit strange. I'm a few years older than you, so it's okay for you to call me sister."
After Xu Qier said this, neither Wei Rusu nor Shen Liyue responded.
It was because Xie Wanting was not here today. If she was here, she would have rolled her eyes at Xu Qier.
Xu Qi'er didn't care at all. "Since we met today, it must be fate. Why don't we go shopping together?"
Shen Liyue had nothing to say. She was originally called out by Xu Qier. She just glanced at Wei Rushu worriedly, afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.
Wei Rushu sensed Shen Liyue's worry and secretly pinched her fingertips to comfort her.
"Okay." Wei Rushu agreed with a smile.
Facing Xu Qier, Wei Rushu was not at all panicked.
Although she had never spoken to Wang Wentian, she knew he was reliable. She didn't need her husband to take the lead in everything. Her future husband was strong, and she wasn't weak either.
The third floor was staffed with attendants. After a while, the clerk following Xu Qi'er already had quite a bit of jewelry in his hands. Xu Qi'er glanced back and said, "The jewelry in Jiang's shop is truly excellent. The styles are beautiful, and the workmanship is exquisite. I accidentally picked so much. Will the girls laugh at me?"
Chen Liyue said: "Miss Xu is taking care of Jiang's business, how could I laugh at Miss Xu? I am a businessman, and customers like Miss Xu are naturally more and more good."
Shen Liyue's words were flawless, saving Xu Qier's face without pretending to be generous and saying that these were free.
Xu Qier's money is worth it. She is not Lu Yun, Xie Wanting, Wei Rushu or the others. Why should Shen Liyue save money for her?
Xu Qier smiled and turned to look at Wei Rushu again. "Miss Wei, don't you like these jewelry? Why did Miss Wei only choose these few pieces?"
Wei Rushu didn't bother to pay attention to the provocation in Xu Qier's tone, and said calmly: "It's not about quantity of jewelry, but about the right one. Once you pick the right one, you don't need to look at anything else."
"Oh?" Xu Qier heard the implication of her words and couldn't help but look at Wei Rushu again.
Xu Qier has her own pride in her heart, for example, Wei Rushu is not someone she likes.
I didn't expect that Wei Rushuo also has a bad temper.
After hearing what Wei Rushu said, Shen Liyue smiled slightly but did not interrupt.
Wei Rusu will marry into the general's mansion in the future, oh no, now it's the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion.
How could the future mistress of the Marquis' Mansion be angered by just a few words? If Wei Rushu didn't even have this ability, Shen Liyue would really have to worry about her.
Xu Qier raised an eyebrow and continued, "Miss Wei is right, but one day Miss Wei will marry into the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. As the wife of a dignified Marquis, if people see her wearing shabby clothes and simple jewelry, I'm afraid it will bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion."
After Xu Qier said this, Shen Liyue felt a little unsteady.
If Xu Qier had spoken in a sarcastic tone before, now she was directly provoking him.
Anyone who could come up to the third floor to pick out jewelry was either wealthy or noble, and certainly not shabby. Xu Qier's words were clearly just a way to stir up trouble.
Wei Rushu gently tugged at Shen Liyue's sleeve. This was originally a matter between her and Xu Qier, and there was no need for Shen Liyue to stand up for her.
Wei Rushu looked at Xu Qier seriously, with no emotion visible on his face, but his eyes were looking straight at Xu Qier, as if he could see into her eyes.
Wei Rushu said, "I used to do the same thing at the Duke's Mansion, and no one ever laughed at me."
In a word, Wei Rushu pointed out her identity as the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. No one dared to say anything to her in the Duke's Mansion. Would anyone still laugh at her after she married into the Marquis' Mansion?
"What's more," Wei Rushu thought of Wang Wentian, and her heart softened a little. "The environment in the northern border is harsh. The soldiers are satisfied as long as they have enough food and clothing. As the wife of the Marquis, if I increase my luxury, won't it just chill the soldiers' hearts?"
"Since the Marquis is willing to sacrifice even the reward bestowed upon him by His Majesty as military pay, I must support him all the more. A husband and wife united in heart is the only way to long-term success."
After hearing what Wei Rushu said, Xu Qier forgot to respond for a moment.
Her face remained expressionless, but the hand holding the handkerchief was clenched tightly until her nails dug into her palm.
Well, these two people are so "couple" even before they get married.
Wei Rushu didn't wait for her to say anything, but just nodded slightly at them, "The wedding is approaching, and I have a lot of things to do. I won't stay with you for long today. I'll be leaving first."
Shen Liyue smiled at her: "Okay, send someone to find me if you need me to do anything."
Wei Rushu didn’t bother to be polite with Shen Liyue, he just nodded and left with Bitao.
Xu Qier stood there in a daze for a while, and Shen Liyue didn't call her.
Xu Qi'er was too proud, so proud that she forgot Wei Rushu was the daughter of a Duke's mansion. How could a daughter of a Duke's mansion be as "shabby" as she described? How could she be so good-tempered that she could manipulate her at will?
