Xue Zhiyi looked at him with innocent eyes: "I don't understand what Second Brother means."
"I've heard a lot of things. The way the second and fourth sisters fought to the death must have been due to the third sister's handiwork, right? They were both injured, but the third sister was able to escape unscathed. How could this not be considered brilliant?"
Xue Tingliu's voice was gentle, even with a smile on his face, but it sent a shiver down one's spine.
Xue Zhiyi knew that her second brother was not easy to deal with, but she didn't expect that he would suddenly confront her.
Certain experiences in her previous life made her feel an indescribable suffocation when facing Xue Tingliu.
"Go ahead." Xue Tingliu was still smiling, but the temperature in his eyes had quietly turned cold. "What do you want to do?"
Xue Zhiyi smiled slowly, but his eyes unconsciously avoided him and turned slightly to the side: "I don't know what second brother is talking about."
Xue Tingliu paced back and forth, blocking her view. "You and Rou'er have never had a good relationship, but I never thought you would be willing to destroy Fourth Sister's life just to deal with Rou'er."
Xue Zhiyi's eyebrows jumped, and her hand holding the handkerchief trembled a little.
Suddenly, she raised her face, a look of shame and indignation after having her secret revealed: "Yes, no, so what? Second brother is in the Ministry of Justice now. Is he going to arrest me and throw me in the Heavenly Prison?"
Xue Tingliu has now been transferred from Linzhou to the Ministry of Justice and will stay in Huajing in the future.
Xue Tingliu couldn't help laughing out loud, and looked at Xue Zhiyi with a more playful look in his eyes: "Third sister, you are too suspicious. We are family, there is no need to say such things."
Seeing this, Xue Zhiyi's eyes turned red and he looked at him with an increasingly unfriendly look.
Xue Tingliu just sighed slowly, took two steps closer, and under Su Yue's anxious and vigilant gaze, he lowered his voice into Xue Zhiyi's ear.
"It's a pity that no matter how clever your methods are, they are just tricks used by the harem. I advise you not to treat others as fools."
After saying this, he passed by Xue Zhiyi and left.
But he didn't see that when Xue Zhiyi turned his back to him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Her words are three-quarters true and seven-quarters false.
Just now, Xue Tingliu just wanted to test whether her purpose was just the struggle in the harem, or whether she had seen through his intention to win over the Zhao family and deliberately set up a trap to try to sabotage it.
Xue Zhiyi was not afraid that he would see through her methods. As long as he was not sure of her intentions, she would be safe.
Unfortunately, Xue Tingliu has always looked down on the women in the harem, so even if he was suspicious, he was unwilling to believe that she, Xue Zhiyi, would dare to and could actually make small moves in the party struggle.
