"Sister, I was wrong. Please don't chase me away." Xia Shanshan knelt down and cried.
Xia Qianqian was really angry today and kicked her away mercilessly: "Get out! Refuse to beg for mercy!"
Seeing that she was determined, Xia Shanshan said loudly, "If I hadn't helped you plot against Han Yuqing, would you have been able to become a Jade Maiden?"
"What did you say?" Xia Qianqian's face changed drastically.
Xia Shanshan stood up and said confidently: "For the glory of the old Xia family, I helped you to plot against her. It's all my credit that you can become a jade girl!"
Xia Qianqian recalled the scene when Han Yuqing fell, and asked in a trembling voice: "What did you do to her?"
Xia Shanshan proudly took out a few dried soybeans and said, "This is what made her fall."
"Pa!" Xia Qianqian slapped him and shook with anger.
"Big sister!" Xia Shanshan covered her face unconvinced, tears falling, "I'm helping you!"
"You know who you are helping!" Xia Qianqian sneered, "Han Yuqing fell down, and my skirt fell off. Now you have a chance, right?"
Xia Shanshan refused to admit it and just looked at Xia Qianqian aggrievedly.
"Xia Shanshan, you really had a good plan, but I was smart and was still selected even though my skirt fell off. Poor Miss Han was made embarrassed in public by you." Xia Qianqian became more and more angry as she spoke.
How humiliating was it for Han Yuqing to fall down during a dance competition? Even if she was an opponent, she couldn't win in such a despicable way! Xia Qianqian stepped forward, grabbed Xia Shanshan, and walked out.
"Where are you taking me?" Xia Shanshan panicked. Was he going to sue the authorities
"Go find Miss Han and admit your mistake!"
"I don't want to! Big sister, you can't do this. Who would turn their elbows outward?"
"If you do something wrong, you must apologize!"
Xia Qianqian dragged Xia Shanshan to the outside of the inn. Second Uncle Xia came to greet them and asked happily: "Qianqian, I heard that you were elected. Congratulations..."
"Dad." Xia Shanshan burst into tears when she saw her father and hid behind Xia Dinghai. "Dad, I helped my elder sister win, and she wants to send me to see the official."
Xia Dinghai's face changed drastically: "Qianqian, family members should love each other, what did Shanshan do to you?"
"Second Uncle, ask her what she did first!"
Xia Shanshan recounted the entire incident in a low voice, of course, she skipped the part about how she tore her skirt.
After hearing this, Xia Dinghai actually showed joy on his face: "Shanshan has made progress. She knows how to help her elder sister."
Xia Qianqian: “…”
"Qianqian, the process is not important, the result is the key. You are now the jade girl of our Pingning Town, the pride of Yangliu Village, and the glory of the old Xia family! Hahaha!" Xia Dinghai laughed happily.
Xia Shanshan relied on her father's presence and straightened her back, no longer afraid of Xia Qianqian. Humph, she didn't believe that Xia Qianqian would dare to do anything to her!
The sun came out from behind the clouds, casting golden light all over the ground. Pingning Town looked so clean after the snow. But if you wait until the snow melts, you will find that there are also grains hidden in the white snow.
More and more people walked on the street. Everyone already knew the result of the Jade Girl election. As they walked, they talked about it: "Did you hear? Miss Han didn't win the Jade Girl election."
"Why? How could Miss Han not be selected?"
"I heard that he accidentally fell while dancing and injured his foot, so he can no longer participate in the sacrifice."
"Is that so? How did it fall?"
"Maybe she's just unlucky!"
"What a pity! Miss Han is both talented and beautiful. I thought she would be elected this year!"
"… "
They didn't know who Xia Qianqian was yet, but the discussions were as sharp as needles.
