Closing her eyes gently, Du Suxi hid the sadness surging in her heart, tilted her head slightly, looked at Du Yunxi calmly, and opened her red lips lightly.
"I heard that my sister is recuperating these days, and I'm too embarrassed to disturb her. I didn't expect that my sister would come over specifically to visit Su Xi today. Su Xi is really flattered."
Although he said that, there was no trace of guilt on that face, which was still as calm as the quiet moonlight.
Du Yunxi's hand behind her body squeezed tighter, but with her sweetheart beside her, she still forced out a forced smile, pretending to be a dignified and reserved lady.
"Why is Suxi so alienated from me? We are sisters to begin with? Why are you so polite?"
Qingshuang carefully supported Du Yunxi, and suddenly she felt an extra hand on her waist. Before she could react, those hands grabbed a piece of flesh on her waist and twisted it violently, causing her to moan in pain. called out.
"Qingshuang, what's wrong with you? What are you making such a fuss about?" Du Yunxi was looking at herself with raised eyebrows, her eyes full of threats.
Qingshuang's heart jumped nervously again, and she realized that those hands were stretched out by Du Yunxi, the eldest daughter of the Du family.
"No, it's nothing, I just saw a mouse." Qingshuang lowered her head and did not dare to raise it.
Du Yunxi nodded with satisfaction, but scolded him.
"Don't do this next time. You are yelling and you are disrespectful in front of the guests." After saying that, he turned around and looked at Du Suxi with a calm face. The smile on the corner of his mouth became even brighter. Although he was well-intentioned, his words seemed a little intimate.
"Su Xi, why are we here? Why don't you invite us to sit down?"
Du Suxi suddenly felt disgusted with this kind of pretentiousness. She stood there without moving, looking coldly at the weak and fragile Du Yunxi. Her thin lips parted slightly and she refused without hesitation.
"My sister may not know that Beiyuan is not as good as my sister's Nanyuan. It has good tea, good wine, and all the Yinggeyanwu. What Suxi drinks on weekdays may not be on the big stage, and serving it will only make my sister and the Seventh Prince laugh. , My maid was also a little frightened just now, and I'm afraid she needs to rest. If my sister insists on coming, then Su Xi will have to make tea for her herself. "
When Du Suxi said this, she had a smile on her face. The largest ruby on her chest reflected her thin face, which seemed to be stained with blush, giving her a shy look. But her cold voice and the words she spoke were incompatible with this pleasant face.
What he said is all irony, both overt and covert, and makes people think deeply.
They are both young ladies, but the difference is so huge. These words are undoubtedly a slap in Du Yunxi's face. No matter how patient he is, he can't bear it anymore.
Du Yunxi gritted his teeth and looked at Du Suxi, with an unnatural smile on his porcelain-white, jade-like face.
"Du Suxi, what do you mean by this? I have never treated you badly."
You see, this rich young lady tells lies very fluently and she is not ashamed at all.
Du Suxi sighed deeply in her heart, and raised her eyes slightly, thinking that it was a blessing, not a curse, but it was a disaster that could not be avoided. The quarrel with Du Yunxi was too tense at this time, and it would not be of any benefit to herself.
"Sister, I misunderstood. Su Xi is doing well, but she just doesn't like being too noisy. I was frightened a few days ago, so my mood is a little weird. Please forgive me, sister."
He said he was tolerant, but looking around, he didn't see any sign of sincerity. Du Yunxi was so angry that she almost wanted to go up and slap Du Suxi hard.
But she was very weak now, and she couldn't show even the slightest bit of roughness in front of Helian Kuang.
Her mother had told her many times that women are born to be protected by men. Women should be as gentle as water in a man's arms, coquettishly and softly, and then push everything to the man. There is no one. Men will like their women to be better than themselves!
She deeply believed in this statement!
She secretly raised her head and looked at the silent He Lian Kuang. Du Yunxi wanted He Lian Kuang to stand up for her, but considering that the two of them had only met each other a few times, being so hasty seemed like she was frivolous. Looking down on it, it only caused trouble for herself. Her thoughts rolled in her heart several times. In the end, Du Yunxi helplessly put her hand on Qingshuang's waist, slowly exerting force, slowly exerting force, venting the anger in her heart.
When she becomes queen in the future, the first thing she will do is to kill Du Suxi. Du Yunxi decided secretly in her heart.
Du Suxi no longer had the slightest interest in looking at the man and woman who had their own thoughts, and lowered her eyes. Because she was standing on the nine steps, condescending, she happened to meet Helian's calm gaze.
There was no joy or anger in his eyes, no emotion at all.
She suddenly felt a little disgusted. He frowned. Looking at Helian, he bowed wildly.
"Your Highness, I have offended you a lot today. Please forgive me. I feel a little uncomfortable now, so I won't send it away."
Is she giving an eviction order, or a very arrogant eviction order
Helian Kuang's eyes finally showed anger. No woman had ever taken him so seriously. Du Suxi was still the first, but although her words lacked some etiquette, it was hard to fault. In addition, Du Suxi has not yet reached the age of hairpins, so if he cares about her, it would be too much to bully the younger ones.
In the end, Helian Kuang took Du Yunxi away with a roll of his sleeves very gracefully. His target is Du Yunxi, and he shouldn't waste too much energy on Du Suxi.
That night, Du Suxi fell asleep for some unknown reason.
In the dark night, Du Suxi put on a coat and walked out without lighting the candles for fear of disturbing her makeup.
The moonlight is hazy. It does have a bit of a "smoke cage, cold water, moon cage and sand" meaning. Holding a cup of still warm tea. Du Suxi sat down on the stone bench in the small courtyard and looked at the small courtyard quietly.
This is where Du Suxi lived since she was a child. Outside this yard, there is a small pond. It is Qingqiu now. The lotus flowers all over the hall have begun to bloom and wither, and their withered yellow branches and leaves are standing there on the verge of death. It seems to prove that he has bloomed brilliantly.
Du Suxi took a long breath.
That day, the real Du Suxi was knocked unconscious and thrown into the pond. What swam up alive was her lonely soul from another world. With Du Suxi's hatred, she inexplicably became the Du family's inseparable soul. The unassuming second lady.
Every time He Liankuang appeared in front of him, Du Suxi's body was not only afraid, but also full of resentment.
However, now that she is alone and weak, she really has no way to compete with Helian Kuang. All she can wait for is the opportunity. Only strength. In return for being reincarnated, she will help Du Suxi get revenge.
On the other side of Du Mansion, the scenery is very different from the dilapidated Beiyuan. If you want to describe it. One side is like a slum, and the other side is like a flower paradise.
Du Yunxi leaned on the purple and gold embroidered cushions at the head of the bed, tugged on the corner of Ye's clothes, pouted her lips, her beautiful expression was a bit ferocious.
"Mom, you have to help me deal with this bitch Du Suxi!"
Mr. Ye wore a dark blue cloud pattern gilded robe and had her hair styled in a delicate bun. A hairpin set with an alexandrite was inserted into her hair, looking like a typical lady.
Her emerald hairpin alone was worth so much. But no matter how expensive the accessories Ye wore were, they couldn't cover up the shallow wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
She looked at her incomparably beautiful daughter quietly. But there was a sadness in my heart.
The master has not been to her room for seven days. She tried countless ways to invite him, but in the end, Yun Ge ruined it. But every time, the woman looked at her with big innocent eyes.
"Sister, did Yunge do anything wrong?"
It's really annoying, but there's nothing you can do about it.
The mother and daughter originally had a smooth life in Du Mansion. But because of two different women, they were equally angry.
Du Yunxi complained for a while, and then realized that her mother seemed to be a little absent-minded. Holding the wine, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Mr. Ye.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Ye came back to her senses and looked at the young Du Yunxi. She suddenly remembered something, her face became solemn, and she held Du Yunxi's hand and asked carefully.
"I heard that you have become closer to His Highness Seventh Prince recently. Have you fallen in love with him?"
Du Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded shyly. Looking at Mr. Ye expectantly.
Ye sighed heavily again, with a bit of compassion in his eyes.
"Yun Xi, do you know why I have been so obedient since I was a child and never want to let you be wronged?"
Du Yunxi shook his head very cooperatively. Regarding the "Queen of Heavenly Destiny", Du Yuan decided to conceal it at that time for no other reason than if this rumor spread. Whether true or false, it will bring disaster to the Du family. Du Yunxi is also very likely to be killed. Therefore, keeping silent is the best choice for Du Yunxi.
Ye's lips moved and she looked at Du Yunxi with compassion.
"Yun Xi, you will be the queen in the future. Your brother's future and the future prosperity of the Du family all depend on you. Do you understand?"
The Du family seems to be flourishing, but it is already strong on the outside and weak on the inside. Du Qifeng, the eldest son of Du, has not returned from studying abroad for many years. The entire Du family is supported by Du Yuanzheng alone. He is said to be a high-ranking official, but Du Yuanzheng is stubborn and refuses to form cliques and keeps himself clean in the court.
, is one of the few honest officials in the hundreds of years since the founding of the Tiansheng Dynasty.
If Du Yuanzheng falls. The entire Du family also fell. This responsibility is not unimportant!
Du Yunxi looked at Ye in a daze, a flash of light flashed in her mind, she looked at Ye carefully and asked tentatively.
"His Royal Highness Seventh is smart and alert, and holds tens of thousands of troops. If he becomes the emperor in the future, then I will definitely be the queen."
Ye shook his head and looked at Du Yunxi. He didn't know how to explain Du Yunxi's innocence for a moment.
"Yun Xi, do you know that in the past sixteen years, people from all over the world have come to propose marriage? Even the most respected concubines of His Majesty have tried to sidestep me many times on behalf of their son, but your father and I have never agreed to anyone. , why is this?”
"Why?" Du Yunxi opened her eyes very simply and looked at Ye in confusion.
", Yunxi, you are a girl's family after all. Do you know that His Majesty has not yet established a prince?"
Mrs. Ye sighed, raised her eyes, looked at the pink brocade all over the bed, and fell into memories.
"I once heard your father say that His Majesty's opinions are wavering. Although he favors His Highness the Seventh, the other princes also perform very well. Moreover, your father said..." Ye paused, Du Yunxi My heart almost rose to my throat. Looking at Ye Shi expectantly, he urged.
"What did father say?"
Ye raised her head and glared at Du Yunxi fiercely. She was a little disappointed with Du Yunxi's unreserved appearance, but she still rubbed her temples. Keep talking.
"Although His Majesty the Seventh Prince is smart, he does not have the power of the mother clan. Even though Concubine Mei is behind him, his foundation is still too shallow. Moreover, His Majesty the Seventh Prince is too ruthless and ruthless in his actions and is not suitable for sitting on the throne of the King of God. The other princes , it is quite difficult to distinguish between good and bad. That’s why your father has been delaying your marriage, and even made you rarely show up, which can be regarded as a kind of protection for you. "
Du Yunxi was a little confused by Ye's long talk. She blinked innocently and looked at Ye in confusion. After thinking for a while, she adjusted her sitting posture and looked at Ye as if she had made an extremely solemn determination.
"If His Highness the Seventh Prince is really good to me, then it doesn't matter whether I become the queen or not."
Ye almost fainted from Du Yunxi's words. What does it mean to treat each other sincerely? She suddenly felt that she had protected Du Yunxi too well and never let her see any cruelty in the outside world. So naive now. .
Du Yuanzheng once promised to treat her sincerely, but he brought back a baby girl when Du Yunxi was less than two years old. Now he is in the little vixen's room, happy and unhappy. Is this a man's promise? As a mother, Ye didn't want Du Yunxi to get in her way.
Ye's face turned cold when he faced Du Yunxi for the first time, and his words were very cold.
"Du Yunxi, let me tell you, you must become a queen in this life, otherwise, I will not recognize you as my daughter!"
Du Yunxi's eyes widened in surprise, filled with grievances. He couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was his mother who responded to his every request.
It seemed that he realized that his behavior was too extreme. Ye lowered his eyebrows and softened his voice a little.
"As for Du Suxi, I have already arranged a marriage for her. I am just waiting for her hairpin ceremony to be carried out, then I will carry her in a sedan chair and pass through the door. I will never appear in front of you again."
"Mom, how could you take advantage of her so much? It's all her fault that my daughter is like this!" Du Yunxi's eyes widened and she clutched Ye's sleeves tightly, looking very excited.
Ye's face darkened again. For the first time, she thought, why is her daughter so stupid
"Yun Xi, please remember that you are a lady, don't have those unfashionable things in your head. I know exactly what you did to the maids in her courtyard. As a girl, The most important thing is the word innocence! If people know about such despicable methods, the Du family will never be able to afford to shame this person! Do you understand? "
There was a pause. Seeing Du Yunxi's lowered head, Ye Ming couldn't help but softened her heart, thinking that it was the meat that fell from her body after all, and sighed softly. continued.
"As for Du Suxi, I have my own arrangements. Do you know who I want to marry her to?"
"Who?" Du Yunxi raised her eyelids angrily, looked at Ye, and asked absently.
"Your cousin, Qian Guifei."
Du Suxi almost fell from her breasts to the ground with a clang. She managed to stabilize her figure, but her eyes and brows no longer looked sad. She looked at Ye with surprise and joy and said in surprise.
"Is this true? Mom, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Ye nodded affirmatively.
