Qian Youxue's eyes lit up; she had almost forgotten about this person.
Tao Zhizhi, the eldest daughter of Tao Xingsheng, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was a well-known tagalong by Qian Yingxue's side. The original owner's drowning death was inextricably linked to this unruly young lady.
Snakes and rats are in cahoots; these plastic sisters are birds of a feather!
After the twin sisters said that, the women standing nearby also started pointing and whispering about Qian Youxue.
Qian Youxue stood there expressionless. When it came to the art of cursing, she had never lost to anyone before. However, these ladies from prestigious families, no matter how shrewish they were, only knew a few curse words. She was not going to give up on such low-class opponents!
"Waaah..." Before everyone could figure out what was going on, Yunhe burst into tears.
Some fools thought they were about to witness a scene of betrayal. Even Tao Zhizhi thought that this girl might have been bribed by Qian Yingxue to cooperate at this time. But the result almost made her vomit blood.
Then, Yunhe, mimicking Qian Yingxue, cried with snot and tears streaming down her face, saying, "Fourth Miss, you are family after all. Outsiders wouldn't have the heart to reopen old wounds. How can you do this? I know you've liked His Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, but this is an imperial decree, and it's not something our young lady wanted. If you really can't stand it, you can ask Master to plead with the Emperor. Our young lady has always been broad-minded and is very willing to serve His Highness the Crown Prince together with her sisters."
Well……
Was that considered a divine finishing blow?
Looking at Qian Yingxue's mouth, which seemed to be stuffed with a steamed bun, she opened it wide but couldn't utter a single word for a long time. Qian Youxue almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This way of humiliating oneself is truly unique!
The chatter of the onlookers who had gathered to watch the spectacle resumed, but the tone of the discussion seemed to have shifted somewhat.
"So it's sisters vying for the emperor's favor, tsk tsk tsk! I heard this is the fourth concubine's daughter of the Qian family, she's quite pretty!"
"So what if you're good-looking? Your character is utterly shameful!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Her mother is from the Su family. Be careful she doesn't retaliate against you!"
"I heard that Madam Qian has already come out of the Buddhist hall, and Madam Su has been keeping a much lower profile. This fourth young lady from a concubine is quite bold!"
In the crowd, Hua Yujie's familiar figure came into view. Seeing the scars on Qian Youxue's face, she stepped forward without any disgust to put a silk scarf on Qian Youxue's head. She gently took Qian Youxue's hand and said, "Sister, are you hungry? Yujie just arrived too. Since it's such a coincidence, let's have a meal together?"
"Then thank you very much, Sister Yujie." Qian Youxue was more than happy to eat with someone she liked, as it always improved her appetite, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
Looking up and seeing Qian Yingxue's bewildered expression, she decided to play along and spoke in an extremely gentle voice: "Fourth sister, what Yunhe just said was also what I really felt, and I don't mind. Sister, please don't get angry so often. Getting too angry will make it hard for you to take care of your health, and His Highness the Crown Prince won't like that, will he?"
Is the fourth young lady of the Qian family sick?
What illness?
A disease that His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't like?
A series of questions flashed through the minds of onlookers, and many people gained a new understanding of this fourth young lady of the Qian family.
Seeing that the young ladies from prominent families who were originally standing beside her had consciously taken a few steps back, and even Tao Zhizhi kept a certain distance from her, Qian Yingxue became furious: "You... what nonsense are you talking about? You're the one who's sick!"
"Sister, it's my fault that I'm sick, otherwise I wouldn't wear a veil every day. Being sick isn't anything shameful, sister, please calm down." After Qian Youxue finished speaking, she turned to look at Hua Yujie and let go of her hand. Her tone was still gentle, but her eyes were more serious as she said, "Yujie, are you afraid of this problem on my face?"
