Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yu Yunxi, who was woken up by the commotion, rubbed her sore neck. After all, sleeping while kneeling was definitely not as comfortable as sleeping on the bed.
“Eldest Princess.”
Meng Xia and Qian Qing hurried over at this moment to help Yu Yunxi up and smooth the creases on her dress.
“Qian Qing, you don’t have to serve me all the time. Go do your own things,” Yu Yunxi said to Qian Qing meaningfully.
“Eldest Princess, are you chasing me away?” Qian Qing asked, looking aggrieved.
“I’m not chasing you away. I’m just afraid a certain young marquis will be depressed if I occupy you for too long,” Yu Yunxi said with a smile before she glanced at Luo Xiuran who was standing behind Qian Qing.
Luo Xiuran stared at Qian Qing’s back like a sad little wife. How could he not be sad? They had been at the Temple of Eternal Peace for so long, but Qian Qing did not even look at him.
“Eldest Princess!”
An embarrassed expression appeared on Qian Qing’s face immediately.
“Young Marquis Luo is my guest. Qian Qing, help me look after him, ” Yu Yunxi said as she patted Qian Qing’s shoulder. Then, she swiftly left with Meng Xia. She had already created an opportunity for Luo Xiuran, and now it was up to Luo Xiuran to seize the opportunity.
“Eldest Princess!”
At this moment, Yu Ting jogged over. Her face flushed from the heat, and her eyes shone with admiration as she looked at the beautiful older sister in front of her.
Seeing that it was Yu Ting, Yu Yunxi’s expression became much gentler as she asked, “What’s the matter?”
“We were almost frightened to death earlier when you were falsely accused. Fortunately, you’re fine. However, you’re really amazing! You actually have so many types of handwriting,” Yu Ying said with an expression of adoration on her face.
Seeing the expression on Yu Ting’s face, Yu Yunxi felt like teasing the former. She raised an eyebrow and asked, “How do you know I was falsely accused? Let me tell you. I really didn’t copy those scriptures. It was those old nannies who copied it.”
“Huh?”
Yu Ting widened her eyes in shock.
“Do you understand now that I’m not a good person?”
Unexpectedly, the expression of admiration on Yu Ting’s face did not go away, and she sounded even more excited as she said, “Eldest Princess, you’re so smart! You fought back so brilliantly!”
Yu Yunxi:
‘How can this young girl blindly worship me?’
Yu Yunxi did not know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “I’ve schemed against quite a few people. Aren’t you afraid? Don’t you want to avoid me?”
Yu Ting scoffed and said casually, “I’m not brainless. What kind of person is the Empress Dowager? She must have forced you to copy the scriptures so you retaliated…’
However, Yu Ting suddenly thought of something, and she grew anxious. She covered her mouth and looked around warily. Then, she said in a low voice, “If the Empress Dowager’s people hear that, I’ll be dead.”
Yu Yunxi was amused by Yu Ting’s timid appearance. She said with a sigh, “Don’t worry. There’s no one here. I have to thank you for believing in me.” “No, no, it’s nothing,” Yu Ting said, embarrassed.
At this moment, someone suddenly scoffed and said from the side, “A woman’s heart is the most poisonous!”
The person was Yu Zhen. Clearly, he had overheard Yu Yunxi and Yu Ting’s conversation. He said self-righteously, “I didn’t expect that the earlier incident was the Eldest Princess’ scheme. Do you think the Empress Dowager will punish you if I tell her about this?”
“Second Brother, you can’t do that!” Yu Ting said anxiously. In her eyes, Yu Yunxi was her favorite person now. She naturally could not allow her second brother to harm Yu Yunxi.
“You’re actually siding an outsider against your second brother. Moreover, she’s in the wrong. She’s too scheming,” Yu Zhen said disdainfully, poking Yu Ting’s forehead.
Just as Yu Zhen turned to leave and tattle on Yu Yunxi, Yu Yunxi said nonchalantly, “You won’t tell the Empress Dowager.”
“What did you say?”
“I said, Yu Zhen, you won’t tell the Empress Dowager,” Yu Yunxi said calmly. “Eldest Princess, you’re too arrogant and confident. I’m going to tell her now,”
Yu Zhen said.
“When you were hiding and eavesdropping, I already discovered your presence.
However, I didn’t call you out and allowed you to eavesdrop. You’re the heir of Duke Yu’s Residence, the grandson raised by Duke Yu and Duchess Yu. You won’t gossip indiscriminately, right? Moreover, even if you tell the Empress Dowager about this, it won’t change anything. Even if the Empress Dowager believes you, she still won’t be able to punish me. On the other hand, your Duke Yu’s Residence will only be known for spreading rumors,” Yu Yunxi said lightly.
Yu Zhen’s expression was extremely ugly at this moment. After all, Yu Yunxi had just given voice to the thoughts in his mind. In fact, he had no intention of tattling to the Empress Dowager at all. He was not a fool. The Empress Dowager was not a good person after all. He had only said that earlier to scare Yu Yunxi. Unexpectedly, she was so powerful and was not afraid at all.
Yu Yunxi continued to say as her voice grew cold, “Yu Zhen, I don’t know why you’re hostile toward me. However, remember that I have a bad temper. If you want to touch my bottom line, think about whether you can bear the consequences first.”
Yu Yunxi had a good impression of Duke Yu’s Residence, but this was not a reason for her to tolerate Yu Zhen’s repeated provocations.
Yu Ting nodded in agreement to Yu Yunxi’s warning and said, “That’s right,
Second Brother, If you continue to target the Eldest Princess like this, I’ll tell
Grandmother and Grandfather about this so they can punish you.”
“Are you still my sister? Why are you siding with an outsider? Are you trying to anger me to death?” Yu Ting said angrily. Then, he glared at Yu Yunxi before he left.
Worried that Yu Yunxi would be angry, Yu Ting explained awkwardly, “I’m sorry, Eldest Princess. My second brother is usually a good person. I don’t know why he’s like that..
“Don’t worry. If he doesn’t court death, I won’t do anything,” Yu Yunxi said reassuringly.
Yu Ting sighed in relief inwardly. At the same time, she also prayed that her second brother would not court death.
At this moment, a rumbling noise rang from Yu Ting’s stomach. Her face turned red in embarrassment as she said, “I’m sorry, Eldest Princess. I kneeled for too long, and I’m hungry…”
“I’m hungry too. Let’s go and eat together,” Yu Yunxi said with a smile, acting as though she did not see Yu Ting’s embarrassment.
Yu Ting skipped forward and quickly held Yu Yunxi’s arm.
Meanwhile, the other noble ladies watched this scene with jealousy in their hearts.
‘The Seventh Miss of Duke Yu’s Residence is really smart.. She even knows to curry favor with the Eldest Princess…’
