Yan Yue glared at her resentfully: "Isn't it all your fault?! If you hadn't said those things to me, would I be in this situation? Waaah, you've ruined me!"
Heyue:……
From her sixth sister's tearful account, she finally understood what had happened.
My sixth sister, shouldn't I be asking you this? Who knew you had such a low tolerance for stress? It's just that someone confessed their feelings to you. Is it really necessary to be so distracted and get punished like this by the nanny?
Having learned the truth, Heyue asked Sixth Sister to sit down and had a maid bring her water to wash her face.
When Sixth Sister sat down again, she had almost recovered and stopped wailing. However, her eyes were still red and her nose was twitching, making her look extremely pitiful.
Heyue silently took the ointment that Yuying handed over and carefully applied it to her sixth sister's hand.
After the medicine was applied, Yan Yue grumbled, "Don't think I'll forgive you just because of this."
He Yue was both amused and annoyed. She raised her hand and tapped her sixth sister on the head: "You're wronging me. How can you blame me? I never expected you to get so agitated, sixth sister!"
"Who's excited?!" Yan Yue retorted, but couldn't help blushing.
"Alright, alright, don't get upset. It was the nanny who hit your hand for no reason. Tomorrow I'll go find the nanny and hit her back for you, okay? So she'll never dare to hit you again!"
"Then forget it." Yan Yue quickly stopped her, lowering her voice under He Yue's teasing gaze: "It was my own absent-mindedness, what's it to blame Granny? Aren't I ashamed?"
"Then, Sixth Sister, can you explain now? You seem to... like Iduli?" Otherwise, why would Sixth Sister be so flustered?
"Who likes him?!" Yan Yue jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her cheeks flushed red. Realizing that she had overreacted, she lowered her voice and looked away.
"You, you're talking nonsense. He's our cousin, how could he have any other intentions? I know you're just kidding me, it's just a joke, I won't fall for it!" With that, Yan Yue sat down angrily again.
He Yue was speechless: "You think I'm joking?!"
"What else is possible besides this? I know you like to have fun, but you can't joke about something like this."
He Yue suddenly felt a little sorry for Yi Duli. Falling in love with such a naive and stubborn person must be quite a hardship.
“Alright, since you say so, I will tell Yiduli to settle down and marry her cousin from the Hesheli family without waiting for you.” Heyue sighed deliberately, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw her sixth sister open her mouth wide as if she was about to say something, but then she stopped abruptly, her face full of annoyance, her hands clenched tightly together.
He Yue chuckled inwardly, but pretended not to see it and slowly sipped her tea.
"What... what did you say about the Hesheli family's cousin?" Yan Yue asked hesitantly, a hint of nervousness flashing in her eyes.
He Yue gave an "oh" and explained casually, "She's my aunt's niece, the wife I was betrothed to. They said they'd get married after the talent show. I originally wanted to try my best for the person I liked, but it turns out she doesn't like him at all and doesn't want him to keep waiting. Tomorrow I'll tell I'm telling him there are plenty of fish in the sea and he shouldn't be so stubborn."
"You...I..." Yan Yue stammered, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Heyue asked in confusion, "Sixth Sister, what are you trying to say?"
Before she could speak, Heyue nodded as if suddenly realizing something, and said on her behalf, "You mean you want me to give him my blessings, right? Don't worry, I've heard that Yiduli's cousin is not only beautiful but also quite talented in literature. She's inherited her aunt's talent, so I think Yiduli will like her. Although Sixth Sister is also good, even if her studies aren't as good as hers, her looks are just as good. More importantly, she's more lively and cheerful than the other girl, and she won't be boring. But Sixth Sister doesn't want her, so she'll have to leave her for someone else."
Seeing Sixth Sister's initially depressed and conflicted expression, even showing signs of anger, but then gradually improving, only to suddenly turn pale with frustration and wring her hands together, He Yue secretly found it amusing.
This leads to the conclusion that it seems Iduri isn't entirely without hope.
However, it seems that Sixth Sister hasn't quite come to terms with it yet.
"Sixth Sister, are you tired? You should go back and rest. You still have to learn etiquette tomorrow, so be careful not to get caught doing anything wrong by the nanny." Heyue didn't say anything more and urged her quickly.
Yan Yue stood up with a sullen face, wanted to say something but ultimately didn't, stomped her foot and left.
Heyue slept soundly all night, but the next day, just as she was about to go out, her sixth sister blocked her at the gate of the courtyard.
"You...you don't go yet!" Yan Yue stammered, her eyes flickering.
"What does Sixth Sister want to say?" Heyue feigned ignorance.
"Don't rush to tell him. Don't let him act impulsively and regret it. Let me think things through and tell him myself." Yan Yue's tone hardened slightly as she spoke, and she seemed quite serious.
He Yue chuckled inwardly, but nodded in agreement: "That's true. There are still six months left. The talent show will be held in six months, so there's still time to consider. But I don't know if six months will be enough to change Yi Duli's mind. I've heard that He Sheli's cousin is very beautiful, and my aunt likes her very much."
After saying that, he ignored the six sisters' colorful faces and leisurely left the mansion.
Instead of going to find Iduli as she had said she would, Heyue wandered around the market.
She hadn't had a proper shopping trip in a long time, and she really missed it.
At home, there were no other activities besides reading and sleeping. When he went out, he would either go to the Fucha Mansion, or the Fourth Prince's Mansion or the Eighth Prince's Mansion.
In recent days, Heyue has had less contact with the Eighth Prince's wife, and she seems rather listless, so she rarely leaves the mansion.
I finally found the time to go out and have some fun, so I'm going to make sure I see everything properly.
Heyue first went to several jewelry shops to look at some jewelry, bought a few pieces that she liked, and then picked out a few styles that her sixth sister liked.
When the sun was high in the sky, Heyue planned to have a meal at a restaurant and then go to a teahouse in the afternoon to drink tea and listen to storytelling. However, as soon as she left the jewelry shop, she bumped into a group of people.
"Hey! Who's so blind?! Can't they see our princess?"
As soon as He Yue stood still, upon hearing these words, a surge of anger rose within her.
There really are people like this who deliberately cause trouble everywhere. They clearly bumped into me on their own. When I came out, I even tried to avoid them to the side, but they still bumped into me.
He Yue didn't look up to see who the other person was, but upon hearing this, she immediately looked up at the speaker, intending to have a serious discussion with them.
To his surprise, he saw two young girls in qipao standing in front of him. They were quite pretty, and one of them was someone he knew.
The one who spoke was a maidservant beside the two girls. She reached out to protect her mistress while frowning and glaring at Heyue arrogantly.
When Heyue saw the familiar face behind the maid, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What a small world! We can't believe we run into each other like this."
