Wu Lixiang continued to "praise" Wu Sheyue: "My third sister is so amazing. Do you know that she used to be ugly and stupid, but she got better overnight! Amazing, right? Isn't my third sister particularly pretty?"
"..." Wu Sheyue glanced at Wu Lixiang and said nothing.
Ning'er was so angry that she stamped her feet behind her. What was even more irritating was that she was not qualified to interrupt. She was so anxious.
There were surprises in the eyes of the ladies. This Miss Wu San was so beautiful that people thought she was a legitimate daughter. Why is he so different from the ugly and stupid man in the legend!
They couldn't help but look at Wu Sheyue's face carefully, and whispered, "It turns out to be the third young lady."
"The third lady is really beautiful."
"They look like two completely different people."
"Yeah, it's not like that at all..."
But this kind of exaggerated exclamation and praise was obviously not the effect Wu Lixiang wanted. With an innocent and cute smile on her face, she shook Wu Sheyue's hand, raised her voice and asked her: "Third sister, do you remember? I remember one year you drank lamp oil as soup. My eldest sister should also remember this. Now that I think about it, it has been so long~"
Wu Liuyun, who was named, said nothing, but there seemed to be a secret smile on her indifferent face. She would show this expression every time she saw concubines plotting against each other.
Those young ladies were a little embarrassed by Wu Lixiang's topic. A normal person would definitely be angry if they were teased like this. They all thought Wu Sheyue would be angry. However, she didn't react much at all.
Wu Sheyue just looked a little surprised and asked cautiously: "Fourth sister... are you, are you okay? What are you going to say?"
Compared to Wu Lixiang who suddenly said so many inexplicable words without thinking, Wu Sheyue's behavior at this time seemed more normal. It was as if... the person who had been stupid all along was Wu Lixiang, not Wu Sheyue.
Wu Sheyue's performance made Wu Lixiang, who was in high spirits, feel as if she had punched soft cotton with her fist, and her face was extremely embarrassed.
Naturally, the other ladies could see that this scene was a bit subtle. One of the concubines of the Shangshu family wanted to ease the atmosphere, so she ignored Wu Lixiang and asked Wu Sheyue curiously: "I heard that the third lady Is your recovery due to the blessings of the gods? Congratulations to the third lady."
Wu Sheyue was stunned, with a slightly sad expression on her face. She said in a low and sad voice, "Maybe, thank you."
Hearing this, another person also came over curiously and asked, "Miss Third, please forgive me for asking, how do you feel?"
Wu Sheyue looked at her and sighed in a cold voice, "It's like waking up from a nightmare. I don't want to dream again."
"ah… "
The young ladies all had different expressions. It was unexpected that Wu Sheyue was so sad.
One of the girls whispered to the person next to her: "I remember hearing someone tell me what Miss Wu San said at the door that day... I don't want to pretend to be--"
As she spoke, she stopped talking at the right time. After all, there is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion here, so she shouldn't tell everything.
But several people around her understood what she was going to say. Everyone knows that Xin Zhi broke off the engagement, and everyone said that Wu Sheyue said at the door that day, "It's enough to pretend for so many years." When thinking about her sad look just now, it makes people think complicated. .
Many people just think too much and shiver all over. It seems that the water in Xiangfu is quite deep.
Wu Liuyun disliked the gossips in the market the most. Of course she didn't know what these ladies meant, but the noble indifference she had cultivated in her daily life had already been established, and she couldn't ask too much.
Naturally, Wu Lixiang had never heard of the rumors in her family. She was a little puzzled when she saw these people playing riddles, as if they had missed some important conversation. He asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
The ladies looked away and did not answer.
At this time, Wu Sheyue was very satisfied. The foreshadowing she said at that time was really not in vain. This was the effect she wanted!
Use just the right words and actions to guide others to guess in the direction you want. In this way, she won't have to explain herself everywhere in the future, and others won't be able to grasp what she said. She failed in this subject in modern times. In ancient times, she was forced by the environment and became more and more proficient.
Wu Lixiang looked around and found that no one of the sisters who played well on weekdays told her, they all seemed to be hiding it. In this way, she became even more angry with Wu Sheyue, thinking that this bitch must have done something wrong.
Wu Liuyun looked at them and seemed to be bored. She just found a reason and led Yingtao away. These ladies all knew Wu Liuyun's temperament and didn't stay much.
Wu Liuyun didn't drag Wu Sheyue away this time, obviously he wanted to give Wu Sheyue a generous hand and give her a chance to develop relationships with "other concubines".
But Wu Sheyue is also willing to stay with Wu Lixiang longer...
Wu Sheyue sat with them by the lake for a while. In the subsequent chat, Wu Lixiang was still trying to bring it up: how stupid Miss Wu San used to be and what kind of glorious deeds she had done... She was afraid that others would forget .
Wu Sheyue listened awkwardly for a while, then suddenly interrupted and said: "By the way, fourth sister, grandma was still looking for you before. Come over and have a look."
As expected, this sentence made Wu Lixiang's eyes light up, and she quickly asked, "Is it true? Grandma is looking for me?"
Grandma rarely takes the initiative to call them over! Anyone who asks them to come over is doing something wrong! Maybe... maybe some distinguished guests suddenly came today, and grandma wanted to meet him!
"Hey, when did grandma come to see me? Why did you just say that?!" Thinking of this, Wu Lixiang became a little angry again. Wu Sheyue has been here for a long time, why did she just remember to tell herself! I don’t know if the distinguished guest is still there.
"I was looking for you when I came here just now, so hurry up and go."
Wu Lixiang was angry and anxious. She didn't know whether Wu Sheyue told her late on purpose, but it was too late to care about it now. She said anxiously: "Then I'll go right now. Third sister, you guys have fun."
Then he led the maid and ran over there in a hurry. The anxious look made all the girls look in shock.
Wu Sheyue smiled slightly, "Everyone laughed, she is like this." Well, the world is now peaceful. Anyway, grandma asked them what they were doing, and she didn't lie.
The girls looked at each other and nodded, wondering why Wu Sheyue looked more normal than Wu Lixiang. (To be continued)
