The next morning, the old lady reluctantly pulled Qian Youxue out of the Qian family's gate. Her old ailment had flared up again these past few days, and sometimes she even found it difficult to get out of bed. However, she still felt uneasy, which was why she ignored Granny Chen's advice and came to see Qian Youxue off.
"Mother, rest assured, I will definitely protect our young lady well." Aunt Liu's words were quite clear: besides the ugly girl, the Qian family had other young ladies, so it was impossible for her to only look after one person.
The old lady's face stiffened. She wanted to say a few words to Aunt Liu, but then she heard Qian Sheng urge her from the side, "Mother, it's getting late. Let's talk about it when we get back!"
The old lady glared at Qian Sheng with displeasure. Qian Sheng bowed to the old lady guiltily and got into the carriage next to him without looking back.
Seeing her father's attitude, Qian Yingxue smiled smugly and looked at her second sister, Qian Muxue.
Qian Muxue stood gracefully behind Aunt Liu, stepped forward and bowed slightly to the old lady, then quietly boarded the carriage.
The carriage sped towards the palace gates. Aside from Qian Yuexue, who rarely appeared, chattering incessantly, even the usually arrogant Qian Yingxue had fallen silent. However, she would occasionally steal a few glances at Qian Youxue, a sinister glint in her eyes.
Qian Youxue closed her eyes to rest as soon as she got into the carriage. She had spent a lot of time in her spatial dimension last night preparing for her trip to the palace, so she wanted to take this opportunity to rest.
After the Qian family's carriage arrived at the palace gate, all the women disembarked. Because of Consort Liu's special treatment, they didn't have to queue up to exchange their invitations like other young ladies, which aroused the jealousy of many other young ladies and women.
"Look, look, isn't that the ugly monster from the Qian family?"
"Yeah, I'm so lucky I didn't drown last time!"
"Could she also want to become the Crown Princess?"
"Hehehe... That's just wishful thinking!"
As they entered the palace gates, they were constantly bombarded with unpleasant laughter. Qian Yingxue and Qian Yuexue kept their distance from Qian Youxue with disgust.
Aunt Liu and Qian Muxue deliberately quickened their pace, ultimately leaving Qian Youxue isolated in the middle.
Qian Youxue changed into a gorgeous gauze dress today, still wearing a veil, so no one could see her expression at this moment.
In this godforsaken place, a pretty face is important, but a dazzling background is even more important. She glanced at the minor characters and, too lazy to bother with them, continued walking forward.
Pat pat!
The sound of horses' hooves approached, and everyone stepped aside, their eyes wide with anticipation for a good show.
Qian Youxue was lost in thought, and just as everyone was waiting to see a good show, she was pulled aside by a hand.
Ouch……
Before Qian Youxue could react, she was pulled and fell onto the person. Hearing the sound from below, she suddenly realized and turned around to see a delicate and beautiful woman pinned to the ground.
"Miss, Miss, what's wrong?" When the maid Cuiling saw that her mistress's face had turned pale with fright, she quickly stepped forward to help her up.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Qian Youxue saw that the young lady looked like she was about to faint, so she quickly sat up and reached out to help her up.
"It's alright, miss, don't worry about it." The young lady finally regained her balance and took a deep breath.
Cui Ling tenderly wiped the cold sweat from her mistress's face and hurriedly took out a pill from her body and handed it to her mistress: "Miss, your body is already too weak to be overworked. If you are hit by that carriage, I will lose my life as well."
carriage!
Qian Youxue belatedly came to her senses, seemingly hearing the sound of horses' hooves flying by, and only then did she realize how dangerous the scene had just been.
Turning around, Qian Youxue hurriedly bowed to the young lady: "Thank you for saving my life just now, young lady. I am Qian Youxue. May I ask your name? I will definitely visit you another day to express my gratitude."
"This humble girl, Hua Yujie, greets Sister Youxue!" Hua Yujie gave a slight bow, a faint smile on her face.
