"Sister, take whatever you want."
Tong Su bent down and whispered a gentle smile in Xiao Qingwan's ear as she slumped to the ground.
That smile was like a thorn piercing Xiao Qingwan's heart, making her feel as if her heart was bleeding profusely!
"You want to replace me, don't you? I couldn't be happier! I wish you all the best, sister. May your wishes come true."
"you--"
Xiao Qingwan suddenly looked up, only to meet her cold gaze. Her heart ached as if she had been severely injured, and she leaned back abruptly.
A faint taste of blood welled up in my throat without me even realizing it.
The burning slap mark on his face and the dull pain in his chest made him look equally disheveled and miserable.
Emperor Xuanyi had just left when, before he did, he kicked her hard in the chest—
He wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with, but he developed feelings for her last night, so he took extra care of her today.
However, when the truth came out, Xiao Qingwan's ugly deeds were exposed, and the Xuan Yi Emperor who was protecting her became a laughing stock. Given his ruthless nature, how could he let Xiao Qingwan off the hook?
Looking back on yesterday, Emperor Xuanyi was convinced that Xiao Qingwan had deliberately gone to the woods to fake cry and pretend to be bullied by her "brother and sister." She was the young lady herself, so how could any sister be bullying her?
Emperor Xuanyi was straightforward and stubborn, and his emotions were easily revealed. Because of his frankness and impulsiveness, he couldn't stand hypocritical people.
Right now, in his opinion, the most hypocritical and despicable woman he had ever met was Xiao Qingwan!
"No, I was wrong, I was blinded by greed! Brother, please forgive me..."
Tears streamed down Xiao Qingwan's face in the blink of an eye. She looked up pitifully and pleaded, but her pleas were cut off after only two sentences, and she was too terrified to utter a single word.
Xiao Shisan and the others were watching her mockingly as she feigned crying and pleading.
Their mocking expressions seemed to say: Who are you trying to fool? Everyone knows you're a liar who will never truly admit your mistakes!
Xiao Lingchen reached out and put his arm around Tongsu's shoulder, lowering his eyes and speaking softly, "I've been busy with court affairs these days and haven't spoken to you in a long time. I'm very hungry now. Do you have time to have a meal with me alone?"
Tong Su glanced at him with a half-smile, and snorted: "Lord Xiao is quite impolite! You didn't consult me before inexplicably expelling me from the Xiao family genealogy, and now you call me 'sister'? What kind of sister am I?"
"What does the surname matter? Bai Shu is naturally your sister, brother. It's your fault." He coaxed gently, "Could you give your brother a chance to apologize properly?"
"Well, I'll reluctantly agree then."
"good."
A gentle smile bloomed in Xiao Lingchen's deep eyes.
But to Xiao Qingwan, that smile was chilling to the bone!
What is the greatest despair a person can experience?
She wholeheartedly hoped to marry the person she admired, but in the end, she followed in his footsteps and became the liar that person despised.
Thinking they could start over, full of confidence and scheming, they ultimately discovered they were just a clown in the eyes of others.
Xiao Qingwan felt that she was now the clown!
Since her rebirth, she has wanted to use Xiao Baishu's cooking skills to pave the way for herself. However, the more she tries to hide it, the more the truth is revealed when she least expects it.
She thought she could steal Xiao Baishu's opportunity, become the one Emperor Xuanyi fell in love with, marry into the harem and become the mother of the nation.
However, now that he has entered the palace, he has not only failed to achieve his wish, but has instead replaced Xiao Baishu and become the treacherous person in Emperor Xuanyi's heart!
She came up with a clever way to switch identities with Xiao Baishu and steal her reputation.
However, now that the truth has come out, Xiao Lingchen's words revealed that her so-called good status has become something that others can discard with a wave of their hand!
The treasure she longed for most, anticipated most, and desperately sought after most—
But Xiao Baishu despised him the most, considered him dispensable, and even avoided him like the plague!
