This young lady doesn't usually dress up and is always dressed simply. Although she is naturally beautiful, she is not particularly outstanding. Why is she suddenly dressed up today?
Although she only had a silver hairpin in her hair, a light touch of rouge on her face, and a light blue dress with bamboo patterns, which was not dazzling, it made her skin look even whiter and more radiant, making her as beautiful as snow.
"What, lead the way?" Xie Lingqin's eyes sharpened, and the maid immediately snapped back to reality.
Zihe followed behind and suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the maid.
Because of yesterday and last night, Zihe has figured out this young lady's tricks. She can be more ruthless than anyone else, and even more cunning than anyone else.
Isn't this outfit clearly meant to provoke the second young lady?
Xie Lingqin stated that she did not use any special moves.
Although Xie Lingyu was born out of wedlock, she was favored by the second concubine, and she was naturally well-behaved, beautiful, and proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also well-mannered both internally and externally. Therefore, she was deeply loved by the general and had the help of Xie Danling, the legitimate son. Compared with the illegitimate sons and daughters of the second and third wives, her treatment was the best.
The Peach Blossom Pavilion where she lived was even more in line with the style of a legitimate daughter than her Clear Water Pavilion.
Xie Lingqin was led by her maid along a winding path before heading towards the main house.
Inside the room, Xie Lingyu, wearing a veil, was sitting at the table. After listening to the maid's announcement, she felt a light before her eyes. When she looked up again, she saw Xie Lingqin, who was usually simple and plain, standing there gracefully in a new light blue dress with gold trim and bamboo embroidery.
With light makeup, a gentle smile, and radiant spirit, she exudes an ethereal and otherworldly charm, like a scene from a traditional Chinese ink painting.
In comparison, she, sitting weakly on the soft couch, paled in comparison.
Her breath caught in her throat, and Xie Lingyu's heart was in turmoil, leaving her speechless for a moment.
"Does my sister also think this outfit looks good on me? Father sent it to me yesterday, and this is the first time I'm wearing it today." Xie Lingqin saw that Xie Lingyu hadn't spoken for a while, so she twirled her sleeves to show off her new clothes and her good mood.
Xie Lingyu was so angry that her throat hurt.
She had naturally heard about what happened yesterday. Even her mother, such a capable person, with such meticulous planning, had failed at the last moment.
Although her mother said it couldn't be Xie Lingqin, that she wasn't that clever, she felt it was definitely related to Xie Lingqin. Xie Lingqin had clearly been locked up there before, and although she hadn't checked, she couldn't be wrong.
However, after being abused for two days, when she reappeared, there were no visible injuries on her face or neck.
He thought and thought, but still couldn't explain it.
Moreover, she currently needs her help.
With great difficulty, Xie Lingyu swallowed the anger in her heart and then said in a gentle tone, "Please sit down, elder sister."
"I wonder what business my sister has with me?" Xie Lingqin asked without sitting down.
"Oh, about this..." Xie Lingyu suddenly seemed a little embarrassed.
Hey!
Xie Lingqin also chimed in, calling out, "Second Sister."
She called me "Second Sister" with exceptional affection.
But this intimacy inexplicably chilled Xie Lingyu's heart.
"Actually, I originally invited you to go out and admire the flowers that day, but I didn't make it in time. Later, I was relieved to see you were safe and sound in your room," Xie Lingyu said tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyu frowned immediately, "Speaking of which..."
"What's wrong?" Xie Lingyu asked, her expression agitated.
Xie Lingqin waved her hand and smiled, appearing very magnanimous, "This matter is over. Anyway, I'm fine now, so you don't need to feel sorry for me."
Xie Lingyu suddenly felt powerless. She had thought that the other woman was quick to react and that by following her words, she would understand some key points, but the other woman stopped talking.
"Oh, then what else did my sister come to see me for besides apologizing?" Xie Lingqin's gaze fell on Xie Lingyu again, looking very serious.
Xie Lingyu felt a pang in her heart. Who will apologize to you?
However, Xie Lingyu held back, raised her hand to touch her face, and then spoke with great concern, "It's like this, Mother found a doctor to treat my face, but he needs a piece of fine warm jade, and I know that my eldest sister has..."
"I've heard about this. Congratulations, little sister." Xie Lingqin suddenly interrupted Xie Lingyu, then stood up. "Well, I'm leaving." She turned and left without looking back.
The hem of her skirt spun on the ground, creating ripples that shimmered with light.
Xie Lingyu froze, watching as Xie Lingqin was about to walk out of the house. Finally, her voice turned cold, "Xie Lingqin, you stop right there."
Xie Lingqin stopped, turned around, her smile vanished, and her expression darkened. "Second sister, this tone is just like yours."
"You..." Xie Lingyu looked at Xie Lingyu's composed and dignified appearance with suspicion.
