Ji Lingxue and Ruge came to the banquet hall slowly. The main characters were not present yet, but the banquet hall was bustling with activity. All the guests invited to this palace banquet were royal children, and the daughters of some good ministers were also on the invitation list.
Ji Yuqing was asking a noble lady for beauty recipes while they were chatting happily. Out of the corner of her eye, she met the gaze of Ji Lingxue who had entered the hall. Ji Yuqing's face changed, her hands trembled, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground, splashing all over the noble lady next to her.
Ji Yuqing reacted and hurriedly apologized to the lady. She took out a handkerchief but the lady waved it away.
The noble lady lifted her wet skirt and left the hall. Ji Yuqing regretted her loss of composure and looked anxiously towards the hall door. After not finding Zi Su among the group of maids, she also stood up and left in a hurry.
Just as Ji Yuqing stepped out of the palace gate, her skirt was grabbed by a hand. Ji Lingxue blinked and looked at her harmlessly, "Where are you going, sister? I want to go too."
Ji Yuqing was sweating anxiously. Zi Su was missing and Xiao Yichen didn't show up either. The plan had failed. She had to go and clean up the mess quickly. Naturally, she was not in the mood to chat nonsense with Ji Lingxue here.
"Let go." Ji Yuqing's voice was commanding. She grabbed her skirt and pulled the corner of her skirt back from Ji Lingxue's hand, but she underestimated Ji Lingxue's strength.
With a crisp sound, the hem of Ji Yuqing's skirt was torn in half. Ji Yuqing's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, "Ji Lingxue!"
Ji Lingxue held the rags and looked at Ji Yuqing helplessly, "Sister, how come your skirt is torn when you pull it..."
Ji Yuqing felt like a row of crows were flying over her head, and she wanted to go forward and tear off Ji Lingxue's queen robe to vent her anger.
Although she was very angry, she did not lose her mind. She suppressed her anger and smiled. Ji Yuqing gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, I need to go to the toilet. People have three urgent needs. Can you make way?"
To outsiders, it seemed that Ji Lingxue was bullying Ji Yuqing, and many eyes turned over here.
Ji Lingxue nodded, "Oh, I want to go too, it's perfect for us to go together." Then she took Ji Yuqing's hand and walked forward.
Ji Yuqing was being pulled, walking with an unwilling look on her face, thinking about how to get away. She looked down and saw that the corner of her skirt was torn. She stopped and said, "Sister, you go first. My skirt is torn. I have to change into a new one." Then she turned around and ran away quickly, as if there was a wolf chasing her.
Ji Lingxue said, "There's a good show to watch in Guanghua Palace, how can we miss it?"
Ruge glanced at Ji Lingxue, touched her nose and asked, "Don't you blame me for plotting against your husband?"
Ji Lingxue's lips curled up into a mocking smile, "He is not..."
A husband should understand the feelings of others and be affectionate, but he has been treating her like a worn-out shoe since he married her. He is heartless and she doesn't consider him as anyone to her.
Ruge gave Ji Lingxue a deep look, "Are you planning to leave him?"
Ji Lingxue smiled and shrugged, "My marriage with him is just a relationship of interest. If it comes to the point where we can't go on, why not leave?"
Ruge thought to herself, "Since it's for the sake of profit, he may not let you go."
The two of them were walking through the quiet palace road. At this moment, the lights were just coming on, illuminating the road brightly.
Guanghua Palace was right in front of her, but Ji Lingxue did not go in immediately. Instead, she stood at the door waiting for Ji Yuqing to arrive.
When Ji Yuqing saw Ji Lingxue waiting at the door of Guanghua Palace, her face darkened. As expected, that woman knew everything.
Ji Lingxue waved, still with a pure and harmless smile on her face, "Sister, what a coincidence, you are also here for a walk?"
