Xie Qiao could not help but pout.
Second Young Lady Dong might not like to hear that.
"Eldest Sister, I'm not afraid of Young Master Xie. I just accidentally choked!" Second Young Lady Dong said hurriedly. As she spoke, she glanced worriedly in Xie Pinggang's direction. However, she saw that Xie Pinggang was staring at the wine in front of him.
Slightly disappointed, she lowered her head, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed lightly twice.
Xie Qiao roughly understood Dong Xiyun's thoughts at that moment.
Accusing eldest brother of bullying her…
It should be enough to break Second Young Lady Dong's heart.
How could she not be heartbroken when her beloved took a fancy to her sister?
Now that eldest brother did not respond, Dong Xiyun even came forward and said that the earlier matter had been a misunderstanding. Thus, she wanted Xie Pinggang to feel that Second Young Lady Dong was afraid of him.
However, that should not be enough.
Xie Qiao was deep in thought.
It was very difficult to guess the thoughts of a bad person. She had to think seriously. It was an awakening.
Dong Xiyun put in so much effort. It could not be just to stir trouble for the two of them, right? For this girl to be able to scheme against Xia Yayun like that, her thoughts must be more complicated.
Since she was free, Xie Qiao began to let her thoughts run wild.
Love, hate, and hatred flashed through her mind.
"I suppose you like my sister..." the girl said.
"You're afraid of me and won't like me," the man said.
Hmm, a resentful couple.
Xie Qiao licked her lips.
It was time for Dong Xiyun to matchmake the two of them, right?
When Xie Qiao thought of that, she could not help but cover her lips and snicker. Her imagination was amazing.
"Young Lady Xie?" Just as she was thinking, an unfamiliar voice came from above.
Xie Qiao snapped back to her senses.
"Young Lady Xie, I've often heard my royal sister-in-law mention that you're both beautiful and intelligent. You're a rare, good girl. Come forward quickly and let me have a good look," Princess Luo Shu waved at her.
Xie Qiao calmly stood up and walked over.
After bowing, she stood there for a while. That Princess Luo Shu seemed to be sizing her up.
"She's looking at you! She's looking at you! Quickly run, she's a bad person!" A terrifying voice suddenly came from beside her ear.
"Why did you come here? You're so pretty, she'll definitely target you, definitely! What should I do? You can't hear me, what should I do?!" The voice of the ghoul next to her seemed to be a little anxious.
Xie Qiao did not even realize that there was a ghoul here earlier.
She did not know where it came from, but it was quite good at hiding.
"You're indeed a pretty girl, no wonder the Empress likes you. It's just that you look a little too thin, you must eat more later, alright? Someone, send this plate of flower crisps over to Young Lady Xie. This young lady is more suitable for eating such a pretty snack," Princess Luo Shu said. There was a hint of gentleness in her voice.
Xie Qiao bowed and thanked her.
She briefly raised her head and took a close look at Princess Luo Shu.
She took a close look. Xie Qiao immediately retracted her gaze and her heart tightened.
The Zhou family…
Would definitely undergo a huge change.
Xie Qiao suddenly felt a little flustered.
As long as there were ups and downs in a large aristocratic family, it was not a matter of one person.
Dozens or hundreds of people, their fates could be implicated.
She was not sure if this change was caused by her looking for Princess Xingmo's home, but she was worried that after she made this decision, she would have to bear the consequences.
No, that was not right either. If something happened to the Zhou family, then karma would fall on the person who made the mistake.
She had given the ghoul her promise and was going to fulfill the ghoul's last wish.
Xie Qiao's attitude was set.
Xie Qiao's mouth was not sweet enough, and her smile was not charming enough. At that moment, Princess Luo Shu secretly shook her head.
The royal sister-in-law always said that this girl was interesting, but looking at her today, she was dull-witted and timid. Other than being good-looking and obedient, there was nothing special about her.
Two days earlier, she almost thought that the royal sister-in-law was going to give the position of Princess Consort to this girl.
However, now...
The royal sister-in-law's judgement was quite terrible, right?
