"Thank you, cousin." Han Yuqing smiled, bowed, and slowly left with her maid. Everything seemed normal, but her slightly hurried steps revealed her worries.
Why? Why do they all favor Xia Qianqian? Isn't she more suitable for the position of Jade Girl
Rui'er and Xing'er followed closely, feeling very uncomfortable. Xia Qianqian was a country girl, whose food, clothing and clothes were not as good as those of the Han family girls. Why did she snatch the young lady's things
Gu Changde watched Han Yuqing and his servant leave and smiled softly: "Third brother, come out!"
Gu Changsheng walked out slowly from behind the carved screen wall on the side, with a spring-like smile on his pale face: "Big brother, thank you very much."
"That girl you saw is quite silly." Gu Changde teased, "If it weren't for me today, she would have packed up and returned to the village, and she wouldn't be able to participate in the election every year in the future."
"Yeah, she's silly in a cute way." Gu Changsheng nodded.
"She is kind of cute. But being too honest can easily lead to mistakes."
"Honest?" The smile on Gu Changsheng's face became more intense. "She is honest? Brother, I'm afraid your eyesight is not good."
Gu Changde's face darkened: "How do you talk to your brother?"
Gu Changsheng raised his hand and patted Gu Changde on the shoulder: "Brother, you are too old-fashioned. Life is boring."
"!!!" Gu Changde angrily waved away Gu Changsheng's hand, "I think you have been ill for too many years, and suddenly recovered, so you are proud of yourself, right?"
"A little bit of floating is good for your physical and mental health."
Gu Changde glared at Gu Changsheng and complained, "I really don't know where you learned this crooked theory. I've studied for more than ten years but I can't argue with you."
"Thank you, thank you!" Gu Changsheng laughed, then walked away with his head held high, waving his folding fan.
Tomorrow he will be able to participate in the sacrifice with Xia Qianqian. He is the golden boy and she is the jade girl, a perfect match!

Xia Qianqian returned to the inn and sat down to drink a lot of water. Thinking back to what happened today, she was quite scared. It was secondary that she could not become a jade girl. If Han Yuqing refused to forgive and insisted on sending Xia Shanshan to the authorities, she would have no choice.
"Oh, are you satisfied now?" Xia Shanshan angrily threw everything on the bed to the ground, "I have lost all my face, but you are still a virgin!"
Xia Qianqian sneered: "If it weren't for the magnanimity of the head of the village and Miss Han, you would have been condemned by everyone now!"
"Are you afraid too? Xia Qianqian, you are deliberately trying to trick me!" Xia Shanshan was angry and aggrieved, and she wished she could have a fight with Xia Qianqian.
But she couldn't beat Xia Qianqian.
"Who is betraying whom? What a stupid teammate! If you hadn't done something bad secretly, would I have to go to the Gu family to apologize?"
"I helped you win, okay?"
"You were trying to help yourself, but you ended up losing more than you gained! You also almost made me look like a villain. If you behave yourself, I'm still confident that you can win."
Xia Qianqian became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She had also tried her best in the election and was willing to accept it whether she won or lost. But now she had won dishonorably and owed Han Yuqing a favor.
Xia Shanshan opened the cabinet, took out all of Xia Qianqian's things, and quickly put away her own things: "Xia Qianqian, you are capable! Have fun by yourself! I won't serve you anymore!"
"Get out, get out, get out now!"
"snort!"
When Xia Shanshan left, she deliberately stepped on the clothes on the ground. There was an extra footprint on Xia Qianqian's most cherished green cloak, and she felt heartbroken: "Xia Shanshan, you..."
