But if Song Lan's words were spoken in modern times, many people would probably laugh and say that Song Lan was in "Versailles".
...
The moonlight was like frost, and the quiet night was desolate.
"Second brother! Second brother, are you asleep?"
Qin Yaxin guessed that most of her family members were already asleep. She tiptoed out of her room and stood outside Qin Boyan's door, knocking on the door with her fingers and calling out to Qin Boyan softly.
No one answered from inside the room, but the light was on, indicating that Qin Boyan had not yet rested.
However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he opened the door and stared at Qin Yaxin, asking, "Why are you here looking for me so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"Let's go inside and talk."
Qin Yaxin rushed into Qin Boyan's room, sat down in the chair in front of the desk, and saw Qin Boyan close the door and walk to the bedside to sit down. She said, "Second brother, do you think Zhou Shiwei looked at sister-in-law with such hostility?"
You know?
Qin Boyan asked.
"Of course I know, but you may not be unaware."
Qin Yaxin lowered her voice, her tone filled with disdain, and said, "She's jealous of my sister-in-law, but that's only one aspect. On the other hand, I suspect she has her eye on our eldest brother."
"What are you jealous of, your sister-in-law?"
Qin Boyan frowned slightly. He thought that Zhou Shiwei had developed inappropriate feelings for his brother because of his appearance, so she looked at his sister-in-law with hostility. But according to what his stupid second sister said, could there really be other reasons?
Are you sure you don't know?
Qin Yaxin looked at Qin Boyan with a strange expression. Seeing this, Qin Boyan rolled his eyes and said, "Tell me if you want, or don't."
"Second Brother, do you agree with me that Zhou Shiwei has developed inappropriate feelings for our eldest brother?"
Qin Yaxin asked.
Qin Boyan remained silent for a while, then gave a nonchalant "hmm," followed by a look of disgust as he said, "With her ugly appearance, she wouldn't even catch my eye, let alone compare to my sister-in-law. Even if she offered herself to me, I would run away immediately."
"Looks like you're not blind, second brother."
Qin Yaxin laughed and said, "Now I'll tell you what Zhou Shiwei is jealous of about my sister-in-law. She's 100% jealous of my sister-in-law's beauty!"
"Are all women this petty? Just because someone is prettier than you, you treat them as an enemy?"
Upon hearing Qin Boyan's words, Qin Yaxin objected. She glared at him and said, "Second Brother, if you want to talk about Zhou Shiwei, just talk about her. Why do you have to drag me into this?"
Let me tell you, I'm not jealous at all that my sister-in-law is prettier than me. In my opinion, anyone who's jealous of a goddess like my sister-in-law is the biggest fool in the world!
Qin Yaxin snorted and continued, "My sister-in-law has fair skin, a beautiful face, long legs, exquisite features, and a particularly good temperament. I can't even describe her in words. How could I possibly feel jealous?"
Besides, the first impression one gets from one's sister-in-law's beauty is one of inferiority; there's absolutely no room for jealousy.
Upon hearing this, Qin Boyan scoffed and said, "Can't feel jealousy? Then how do you explain what you said earlier?"
What did I say earlier?
Qin Yaxin asked.
Are you goldfish-headed?
Qin Boyan scoffed, saying, "Did you mention that Zhou Shiwei was jealous of my sister-in-law's beauty? Since my sister-in-law's beauty makes people feel ashamed and unable to feel jealous, now explain to me why Zhou Shiwei is jealous of my sister-in-law's good looks?"
"What's there to explain?"
Qin Yaxin scoffed: "You can only say that Zhou Shiwei is no ordinary woman, or that her heart is as sharp as a needle point!"
