Chapter 232 - Xiao Jiuyuan’s Glare
Although Chiang Yuxi didn’t want to marry Xiao Jiuyuan, she felt very uncomfortable when Yun Qianyu was appointed to marry him.
‘Why does this woman deserve this? She has no talent, no looks, yet she was appointed by the emperor to Xiao Jiuyuan as his princess consort!’
Seeing that the red flowers fell in the hands of Yun Qianyu, Chiang Yuxi quickly looked at Yun Qianxue. Then two ladies looked at each other with a sneer and Yun Qianxue stood up immediately.
“Ladies, my big sister, she has no talent unfortunately. However, since the rules of the game can’t be broken, I’m willing to perform for my sister’s sake. I hope everyone will forgive us.”
As soon as Yun Qianxue said that, the ladies there began to talk about it. Some of them praised Yun Qianxue and thought that Yun Qianxue was kind-hearted, always thinking about her sister.
Seeing how kind Yun Qianxue was, many people thought about how she had supposedly killed her servant girl. They felt that perhaps Yun Qianxue was really framed by someone else. They thought that someone that kind probably wouldn’t be harsh to her servant girl.
Yun Qianxue noticed that everyone seemed to be talking good about her.
In fact, this was her goal for today: to improve her reputation and to destroy Yun Qianyu’s reputation.
On the surface she seemed to be doing it for Yun Qianyu’s sake, however, the city would be gossiping about how Yun Qianyu was a woman without talents.
Thinking about this, Yun Qianxue couldn’t help let out a faint smile.
She looked toward Yun Qianyu and said with a kind smile on her face, “Big sister, don’t worry. I’ll perform for your sake.”
Yun Qianxue’s actions not only changed the minds of the ladies, but even Xiao Tianyi nodded with satisfaction. He felt that Yun Qianxue had done the right thing and was being generous. With qualities like these, Xiao Tianyi felt that Yun Qianxue was indeed suitable to be his princess consort.
Thinking about this, Xiao Tianyi looked toward Yun Qianyu and thought, ‘If this woman is smart, she should let Xue’er perform in her place. Otherwise, she would not only make a fool of herself but also shame the Yun family.’
Xiao Tianyi subconsciously looked toward Xiao Jiuyuan and saw that he was pissed.
In the pavilion, after Yun Qianxue said that, someone exclaimed, “There’s no need to make things so complicated! It’s just a game! If she has no talent, why didn’t she say anything in the beginning? If she said that, we naturally wouldn’t force her to participate. What’s the point of the game now? There’s no fun.”
“Yeah, there’s no fun like this. Let’s not play anymore!”
“I don’t want to play anymore. It’s a real disappointment.”
“As the Li princess consort, why can’t you play the game?”
These words made Xiao Jiuyuan even more pissed off. Immediately he glared at those that spoke.
Feeling the glare from Xiao Jiuyuan, most of them quickly became silent.
Right then, Yun Qianyu stood up. Although her face was covered, her eyes seemed to be as calm as the surface of a lake. Her calm aura made everyone that looked at her subconsciously shut up.
At this time, people couldn’t help but look toward Yun Qianyu. Although the woman’s face was covered, she looked noble and elegant. Even with a ruined face, her demeanor was that of a noble lady.
