Chapter 190: Pretend to Obey, But Disobey
Xing Chuxue was stunned.
Xiao Baozhu also said: "You are straightforward and straightforward, and I like you too."
Ye Hanyi: "I don't know your sister, but since you share my personality, I will naturally stand on your side."
Xing Chuxue looked at them in a daze, meeting their sincere gazes.
At that moment, the grievances that had been suppressed in her heart finally found an outlet, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
She sniffed and sobbed, "I'm obviously not as good as my sister in anything. I'm not as good as you say."
Lu Zhiran said sincerely, "Worldly standards aren't the golden rule for judging a person. At least in our hearts, you're better than your sister in every way."
Xiao Baozhu also nodded repeatedly.
She also had dealings with Xing Chuying. How should I put it? It can't be said that Xing Chuying is a bad person, but she is the kind of person who she can't play with.
Xing Chuxue looked at them with a touching expression, "I am so lucky to have met you."
Lu Zhiran smiled, "What kind of person you are will naturally attract people of the same kind. This shows that we are destined to be together."
Xing Chuxue burst into laughter and showed a bright smile again, and the gloom just now was swept away in an instant.
She was a lively person and soon started chattering.
Xiao Baozhu laughed and said, "My fifth brother has a dull personality, so he's perfect for someone like you who's carefree and cheerful. If he marries a princess who's always so reserved, they'll be bored to death."
Xing Chuxue thought of the handsome man she had seen that day and sighed sincerely, "The Fifth Prince is truly the most beautiful man in the world."
Xiao Baozhu recalled seriously, "I heard that his biological mother, Concubine Wan, was even more beautiful, but unfortunately, she was short-lived and died in childbirth. The fifth prince also developed a chronic illness."
After all, he was about to become her man, so Xing Chuxue couldn't help but feel a little more curious.
"What is the Fifth Prince's illness? Is it incurable?"
If he died, wouldn't I be a widow?
Of course, she mainly felt that it was a pity that such a handsome man died.
Xiao Baozhu seemed to have heard her inner voice. "Don't worry, Ah Sheng said that the Fifth Prince is just a little weak, but there are no other problems. He won't let you be a widow."
“Ahem…”
Xing Chuxue choked and her face turned red.
Xiao Baozhu was puzzled. "I mean, what did you think Fifth Brother would live a hundred years?"
Xing Chuxue: ...
"I'm not thinking of anything. Princess, please eat your food."
But don’t say any more, otherwise she will lose face.
It was not until dusk that they parted ways and went home.
Xing Chuxue walked into the house with a relaxed smile. Just as she returned to her yard, someone from Mrs. Xing Yuan came over.
"Second Miss, Madam asks you to come over."
Xing Chuxue changed her clothes and left in a hurry.
Before I even went in, I heard my sister and mother talking and laughing.
As soon as she entered, Yuan's face immediately frowned, and Xing Chuying looked at her with a half-smile.
Xing Chuxue's originally excited mood unconsciously subsided.
"Mother, sister."
Yuan looked at her seriously, "Are you going to see your cousin Hui again?"
Xing Chuxue's heart skipped a beat.
Although Yuan and Lin Huiniang's mothers were sisters, one was born to a legitimate wife and the other was born to a concubine, so their relationship was not very close.
After the news of Lin Huiniang's divorce spread, Yuan ordered them not to have any contact with her, let alone interfere.
Little did people know that Xing Chuxue had helped and promoted this matter from beginning to end.
How did my mother find out what happened today?
Xing Chuxue hesitated and said, "I just happened to meet her at Jinxiufang."
Yuan slammed the table. "How dare you lie? You clearly visit her often! Today, the mother and son from the He family were sent to the government office and severely beaten with sticks. Then the He family sent someone to our house to file a complaint, saying that you are about to become the Fifth Prince's consort and are bullying others by taking advantage of your position. If these words get out, will our Xing family's reputation be ruined? I'm afraid your father will also be reported to the Censor."
Xing Chuxue shrank back, but couldn't help but defend herself.
"I didn't bully anyone by taking advantage of my power. It was clearly the He family who went too far. Cousin Hui had already divorced him, but he still pestered her, even slandering Jinxiufang in front of the Ninth Princess and Pingle County Lady. That's why he was turned over to the authorities. People like them deserve to be beaten to death!"
Yuan was so angry that her hands were shaking. Xing Chuying sneered, "My sister's status is different now, and her words are not as confident as before. She can easily decide a person's life or death."
Xing Chuxue stiffened her neck and said, "What I said is the truth. It has nothing to do with my identity."
The coldness in Xing Chuying's eyes grew even stronger. "Do you know that your every word and action now represents the Xing family and your father's reputation? If you continue to act as recklessly as before, sooner or later, the Xing family will be dragged down by you."
A big hat was put on her head, and Xing Chuxue felt a heavy gloom in her heart.
"I didn't act recklessly. The He family is at fault in this matter. Why are you so eager to convict me, sister?"
She had been worried about her sister's failure to be selected and was in a bad mood, so she had been tolerant in everything these days.
But no matter how much she endured it, the other party kept sowing discord. Xing Chuxue felt a chill in her heart and didn't want to endure it anymore.
After hearing her words, Xing Chuying sneered even more.
"Whether this is the He family's fault or not, what does it have to do with you? The Lin family doesn't care about their daughter's affairs, so why would you rush into this? Mother has repeatedly warned you not to meddle in other people's affairs, but you keep disobeying her. If this brings disaster to our family, can you bear the consequences?"
Xing Chuxue was speechless.
These words struck a chord with Yuan. She looked at Xing Chuxue with a face full of reproach, "If it weren't for what happened today, I wouldn't have known that you didn't take my words to heart at all. You're really amazing!"
"Mother, Cousin Hui is innocent. Didn't you see what she was living like in the He family? Not only was she treated like a slave, but she was also beaten until there wasn't a single piece of good flesh left on her body. If I hadn't intervened, she would have been beaten to death."
Yuan's face was filled with indifference. "Even if she was beaten to death, what does it have to do with you? From today on, you will stay at home and prepare for your marriage. You are not allowed to go anywhere."
Xing Chuxue knew that it was useless to say more, so she could only swallow all the words back, responded softly, and took her leave.
Xing Chuying poured tea for Yuan and said softly, "Mother, please calm down. My sister is used to being willful. It won't be tamed in a day or two."
Yuan sighed deeply, "She only came out half an hour later than you, how could she be so much behind you? If she were half as sensible as you, I would feel relieved."
Xing Chuying lowered her eyes slightly, looking very lost.
"What's the point of being sensible? My fate is destined to be not as good as my sister's."
Upon hearing this, Yuan immediately felt distressed and hurriedly held her hand to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Ying'er. Mother will definitely find a good marriage for you and will never let you down!"
Xing Chuying said quietly, "No matter how good she is, I will still have to kowtow and pay my respects to her when I see her in the future."
Yuan said angrily, "You are her sister. If she dares to act like a princess to you, I will not let her go."
Xing Chuying snuggled in Yuan's arms, "Mother is always the best to me."
But that's not enough.
No matter how good a marriage is, how can it be better than a royal marriage?
