That dagger wasn't something Su Mingyue bought casually on the street; it was a gift from Geng Yuepeng. No one knew where Geng Yuepeng got it from, but she liked it the moment she saw it, so naturally it became hers!
She had no idea how much it was worth. She had gotten it for free, and although she knew it wasn't cheap, she never imagined it would be this expensive!
She was extremely unwilling to give it to Su Nanxi's people. Why should she?
Su Nanxi lacks nothing and has countless good things, so why should she spend her money to reward her people?
This isn't just a penny or two, it's ten thousand taels!
Besides, good things are usually not mass-produced; they're not so easy to come by. Isn't this just making things difficult for yourself?
So Su Mingyue immediately changed her tune, forcing a stiff smile, "Um, I was just joking! Don't take it seriously! If you like it, take a look a few more times, it's fine! That dagger looks quite exquisite and valuable, but it's really nothing special, just some flashy decorations! It's not as valuable as you might think!"
She also pretended to be confused, refusing to reveal her true intention of carrying a dagger in the middle of the night, insisting on denying it no matter what.
Su Nanxi knew very well that if she admitted it easily, she wouldn't be Su Mingyue!
However, she wasn't in a hurry. Since she couldn't go to bed early tonight anyway, and her mind was perfectly clear, she might as well have a good chat about life and enjoy the unbelievably beautiful night view!
"Third Sister really knows how to pick things! She managed to find something so good! It's a bit dark here, so we can't see clearly. Let's go inside and sit for a while so I can take a closer look and see if it's really as valuable as Bai Lu said!"
After saying that, without waiting for Su Mingyue's reply, she turned around gracefully and walked inside with elegant yet slightly languid steps.
Su Mingyue didn't want to go in, but she was all alone and had no choice!
He glanced at Bai Lu, who was holding a dagger and looking up to admire its sharpness, and then at the servant beside her. Knowing he was no match for her, he gave up the idea of running away and reluctantly went inside.
Can she stay?
Didn't you see all those people rushing towards her?
They were all poised to surround her. If she didn't go, she was sure she would be forced to go in the next second, so she might as well just do it willingly.
Even if Su Nanxi knew her purpose in coming here, he probably wouldn't dare to do anything to her openly, right?
With this in mind, Su Mingyue regained her confidence and courage.
So what if she goes in? It's not like it's her first time!
However, the interior has changed; it has become more spacious and beautiful!
Since Marquis Anping reopened Xihe Courtyard, no one except essential personnel has been allowed to set foot inside, so Su Mingyue has never actually seen what's inside.
After Su Nanxi returned to the mansion, no one was allowed to approach the walls at will!
They were afraid that someone might have bad intentions and want to do something to Su Nanxi!
Su Mingyue's journey was arduous, and she couldn't calm down for a long time because it was just so wonderful. She loved all the decorations inside!
In the past, she would have had a chance to trick Su Nanxi into giving it to her, but now, Su Mingyue didn't dare!
Su Nanxi was clearly not the same person as before. Her eyes were no longer innocent; on the contrary, they were cold, sharp, and piercing. However, she always wore a smile, so you wouldn't notice unless you looked closely!
Seeing this, Su Mingyue felt very guilty and didn't dare to say anything more!
"Third Sister, have a seat! What do you think of this place? Do you like it?"
After Su Nanxi sat down, she happily showed Su Mingyue her room.
It has a slightly boastful tone.
Su Mingyue, however, sensed something else. Her heart tightened. Was this person testing her again? Was he trying to be interesting?
If she says she likes it, does that mean I'll just give it to her?
snort!
Such a despicable face!
He still can't shake his nature of showing off!
They don't even realize they're attracting jealousy and hatred!
"My elder sister is the legitimate daughter of a marquis, so her house is naturally excellent. Whether I like it or not is not important; what matters most is that my elder sister likes it!"
Su Mingyue thought for a moment before saying this.
When she speaks, she lowers her head slightly, just like before, giving off a docile, cute, and somewhat weak feeling. Her tone is soft and gentle, making people want to protect her!
Su Nanxi scoffed inwardly, "Don't try to act with me!"
Who's this show for? She doesn't want to watch it; it's disgusting.
It's like she's bullying someone!
So, Su Nanxi turned her head to the side without making a sound, refusing to look at Su Mingyue's affectation.
"In the past, my third sister always liked my things. After seeing them, she would express her true feelings. Hmm, almost every time, she really hoped that she could have them too, preferably the same as mine! Has my third sister forgotten? Sigh! I'm used to it, and that's why I asked! I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, so naturally, all the good things are given priority to me. After all, I am the only legitimate daughter!"
Su Nanxi spoke very casually, her tone as if she were just chatting, without much variation in volume.
To Su Mingyue's ears, it was particularly grating; it was a veiled attack on her!
Isn't it going too far to deliberately flaunt this sense of superiority in front of her?
That was something she could only dream of. In this lifetime, unless her mother officially recognized her as the legitimate daughter, she would never be born of the principal wife and would never be able to possess everything that Su Nanxi had!
The reality is, her mother didn't have that opportunity. Her mother was no match for the Lady of the Marquis. Without a powerful maternal family to rely on, even if the Lady of the Marquis were gone, it still wouldn't be her mother's turn!
Therefore, this is her greatest pain!
I've never understood why her mother couldn't be a legitimate wife, and why she was born as a legitimate daughter, able to enjoy all the benefits of being a legitimate daughter!
Even though she has a very powerful godfather, it doesn't change the fact that she was born out of wedlock!
If she hadn't been better off than others since childhood, she wouldn't feel so unbalanced, so jealous of Su Nanxi, or even want to take everything that belongs to Su Nanxi!
Su Nanxi looked at Su Mingyue with a smile. When she saw the change in Su Mingyue's expression, she knew that she had touched a sore spot in Su Mingyue's heart again. It was the thing that Su Mingyue cared about the most!
Su Mingyue appeared calm on the surface, but her hands, hidden beneath her sleeves, were probably twisting the handkerchief into a rope!
Such a scene had occurred before, but the original owner didn't think much of it, so he didn't know Su Mingyue's true nature.
"Now I'm back, I have nothing to worry about, I live a life of luxury, but I can never forget the hard times I endured outside! Every night I would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, jump up and look around to make sure I was really in the Marquis's mansion before I could feel at ease! Third sister, do you know what I went through before? Would you like to hear about it?"
Su Nanxi looked like she was about to have a heart-to-heart talk with Su Mingyue; anyone who didn't know better would think they were close sisters!
Su Mingyue roared inwardly, "I don't want to!"
