After saying that, Second Miss Xu unexpectedly seemed to glance in my direction. There was a hint of a smile on her face that seemed to be playful.

At this moment, the alarm in my heart rang loudly. I clearly saw that she was happily walking in front together with the Third Young Miss of the Xu family. Could it be that she had discovered something?

"I also find this interesting!" Eldest Miss Xu agreed with a blush and a smile, but she could not make her words seem even less obvious.

It was no wonder that Second Miss Jiang did not like this Lady Xu. According to what I've heard, Young Master Jiang is definitely an elegant young man. According to the average appearance that Eldest Miss Xu has, coupled with the fact that the Jiang family is an aristocratic family and the Xu family is a new upstart, they aren't really compatible.

Second Miss Jiang frowned slightly and skipped over Eldest Miss Xu. "Are the sisters ready?"

After saying that, he winked at me mischievously.

I smiled at her and nodded my support.

With the first sound of the drum, Miss Xue took the flowers from Second Miss Jiang. Then Miss Xue, Miss Xue, Eldest Miss Xue, Eldest Miss Xu, Second Miss Xu, and Third Miss Xu, I returned to Miss Xue.

Dong!

The sound of a drum suddenly stopped, and everyone looked around, wanting to find out who was holding the flower.

Second Miss Jiang stood beside Qingxi and smiled at me with raised eyebrows.

"Since this flower has fallen into the hands of big sister Xue, then of course, you have to listen to my orders!"

Second Miss Jiang turned around and took the Pear Blossom Wood Box from the servant girl as she sized up Eldest Miss Xue with a smile.

Miss Xue was wearing a bright yellow daffodil with an open collar and half an arm. She wore a dark embroidered poncho with a water blue veil. She looked very fresh and elegant. At this moment, she was sitting upright on her chair with her eyes half closed. With her usual polite and distant smile, she slightly nodded to Second Miss Jiang as a greeting.

Second Miss Jiang shook the box several times before pulling out a stick. She held it in her hand for a long time, unwilling to read it out loud. Her face showed a bit of hesitation and embarrassment.

I secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Originally, I was worried that Second Miss Jiang was a straightforward person who did not understand these unorthodox methods. Now, it seems that my worries were completely unnecessary.

Women were naturally born actors.

"What the hell are you doing!" Just as everyone was looking at Second Young Miss Jiang in unison, Miss Xue Si could not help but take the initiative to stand up. You are not allowed to bully my sister! "

Miss Xue had the rare innocence of a member of the Xue Family.

Thinking back to Xue Lang's past actions now, he had done the same thing as Miss Xue. Since he didn't want to hurt me, he tried his best to be kind to me, but on the other hand, he didn't want to disappoint his family. Since none of his family members were willing to accept me, they left me alone in a small manor outside the capital.

Both of them felt the same sense of responsibility towards their families but were unwilling to sacrifice their personal feelings, which led to their tragedy and the others' tragedy.

Unexpectedly, when Fourth Miss Xue saw the lot of them, her expression also turned ugly. She stood there in a daze for a while, staring at Jiang Er.

"Hurry up and tell me what's so good about it!" At the side, Miss Xue San rolled her eyes. She pursed her lips and used the handkerchief to cover her face as she smiled coquettishly.

"It's nothing!" Miss Xue took the lot from Second Miss Jiang and was about to slip it into the lot when Second Miss Jiang 'accidentally' dropped the lot. Second Miss Xue bent down to pick up the lot and was about to hand it over when Third Miss Xue, who was sitting beside her, snatched it away.

"Screech!" Miss Xue smiled in a seductive manner, her flowery figure trembling. "No wonder you aren't showing it to us! "There are indeed good words to say!"

By the side, it was obvious that Miss Xue had also seen the lot. Although her face looked a bit awkward, she wasn't angry.

Crap!

Could it be that Miss Xue had learned of the news of the consort selection and was prepared to climb such a high branch?

"Then what's written on the signature?" Eldest Miss Xu was obviously very concerned about the contents of the autograph. Ignoring the fact that there was one of the parties involved, Eldest Miss Xue, she squeezed forward to take a look at the contents of the autograph.

At the side, Second Miss Xu gave a faint smile. She took a piece of green bean cake and gave it to Third Miss Xu to eat, completely ignoring the commotion over here.

"It's an apricot flower …" Eldest Miss Xu smiled like she was gossiping, "The person signing this contract will definitely have a son-in-law. You should all have your wishful thinking. Let's drink a cup of wine to celebrate."

Ever since I met the Xu sisters, this is the first time I've been so grateful to Miss Xu!

If it wasn't for her, I don't know who would have the heart to say these words to everyone!

All of the young ladies in the hall had a red heart and pretended not to hear anything, be it taking some tea or drinking water, or talking to the people around them.

Eldest Miss Xue's face was as red as if she had been stained with paint. She held a handkerchief in her hand and lowered her head with a bashful look on her face.

"Elder sister, this one is really interesting!" Miss Xue San's voice was sour. "You really want to succeed but you must have a son-in-law!"

"Sister Xue San, there's a hidden meaning behind your words. Why don't you tell us?" Seeing that the room was so quiet that the topic was about to be skipped, I had to force myself to ask.

As expected, Miss Xue San glared at me. She pursed her lips, and after a long while, she unwillingly said, "She's still not my sister's good cousin!"

When a large rock fell, I instantly felt much better!

It's all thanks to Xue San's hatred for her sister, who is closer to me than she is to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to ask such a question.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

In the end, it was a matter of honor and reputation, and Miss Xue couldn't help but reprimand her. However, how could Miss Xue be the type to be afraid of her sister? She glared at her sister and teased, "I wonder who didn't know that their favorite handkerchief had dropped on the ground!"

I immediately saw King Qi's bashful appearance when he came in to pay his respects to Matriarch Xue.

I also have to thank Xue Lang for his willingness to talk about court affairs with me during the night. He let me know some of the things that happened with Mu Guogong's wife, Lady Xue, whose name shook the capital.

When I asked her where she came from, she told me with some disdain that she came from a poor family and had been sold by her family to be a servant girl at the house of the Prince. I don't know why, but the emperor had taken a fancy to this maid after leaving the palace and thought she was from a low family, so he had to acknowledge her as his adopted daughter. However, within five days, he brought her into the palace.

I couldn't help but be curious. Even though he is a young heavenly son today, his methods are swift and decisive. Furthermore, he has quite a gap in the way he deals with things, so he isn't someone who can be bullied by a weak person who has grown up with a woman. Therefore, I asked Xue Lang, "Is it because this girl's appearance is outstanding that she's so infatuated today?".

Who would have thought that Xue Lang would sneer and stroke my hair before pulling me into his embrace. "We will ask the Minister if he has ever seen that adopted daughter of his and whether she is a celestial being. Although he's never seen her before, according to his wife, she's only a middle-aged woman, but her personality is very stubborn and her eyes are exceptionally spirited. Who would've thought she'd fall for His Majesty just like that! "

"Doesn't that mean she can't compare to eldest sister?"

At that time, Xue Lang and I called her Big Sister Xue, but she had never even seen my sister-in-law before. They had met early in this life, but they were destined never to be sister-in-law again.

"He's far worse than my sister!" Xue Lang caressed my stomach slowly. The warm feeling made me feel a little sleepy. In a daze, I casually asked, "If you say that, then wouldn't it be good if you sent my eldest sister to the palace all those years ago? The eldest sister is so smart, so she would definitely be able to make a name for herself. "

Who would have thought that Xue Lang would actually be angered by my words alone? He pulled me out of his embrace, and regardless of the fact that I was four months pregnant, he insisted on making this matter clear to me.

"What you said is incorrect!" I still remember clearly that the corner of Xue Lang's mouth had a hint of wrinkles on it, making him look especially serious.

"Back then, my sister did not have the chance to enter the palace, but she was unwilling!"

"Why not?" I was a little annoyed at his rudeness. He clearly knew how much I cared about this child, yet he still dared to be so unrestrained.

In the early stages of pregnancy, I spent every day trembling in fear, as if I were treading on thin ice. I was afraid that this child that I had sought so much for would have a mistake and lose the rest of my life.

"Because..." At such a critical juncture, Xue Lang, on the contrary, could not utter a single word.

"Because of what!" At that time, I could not always feel safe, so I was exceptionally willful, hoping to be doted on and watched by him at all times.

When he completely lost the tender care and love from a man, he realized that those things were just a type of change in his life, and were not really a necessity.

"Forget it, forget it!" Xue Lang pulled the quilt on the side of my body and was about to put an end to this dispute.

A smart wife would retreat in time to avoid a head-on confrontation. Unfortunately, I never knew how to stop. Instead, I asked her again and again.

"At that time, my sister had someone she liked, but he died!" Unable to bear my harassment, Xue Lang shouted at me, "Are you satisfied?!" He turned around and covered himself with the blanket before falling asleep.

But for the sake of his sister's past, he actually wanted to do this to me! Didn't he know I was carrying his child! For a moment I was angry with him, but then I regretted that I had forced him to be so tight, and who would want to tell me the ugly things about their family? Angry and anxious, she hugged her knees and sat at the head of the bed, weeping.

After crying a few times, Xue Lang had no choice but to get up and take me into his arms. While wiping my tears, he apologized in a low voice. It was only after listening to my complaints that I broke into tears and smiled.

About my indulgence came from the compensatory tenderness of attachment to him.

Just when Miss Xue was staring dazedly at the handsome young man dressed in a white robe, I knew that she was the same as me, who once stood behind the Great Treasure Pavilion. The person she likes who died should be him who was executed within five years of Hongzhi …
