"Okay..." Ao Qingmei looked at the pity and affection that naturally revealed in Ao Ningshuang's eyes, and was stunned for a moment. Her gaze slowly turned to the bed and fell on Hu Meiniang. Her expression gradually changed from surprise to understanding. Suddenly, she pursed her lips and smiled, then stepped back with a sigh. Her eyes moved meaningfully as she looked at Hu Meiniang on the bed again, and then she said, "Since the eldest sister wants to take care of Miss Meiniang personally, then we will leave first." After that, she pulled Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen out of the room.
After closing the door, she turned around and walked away. The crimson dress was particularly bright among the white and green clothes. Walking between Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, Ao Qingmei was thoughtful, with a gleam in her eyes, recalling the tenderness she had just seen in Ao Ningshuang's eyes. It was the first time she had seen such a strange look in her elder sister's eyes, which had always been calm and quiet for many years. It seemed that she really had to get to know Hu Meiniang. She could make her elder sister, who was so indifferent and reserved, show such tenderness and care for her! She couldn't help but sigh in admiration in her heart. Her mind moved, and she suddenly remembered yesterday. Yesterday, she and Xiaoqing went to Baihua Valley. When they went out, they saw their elder sister leaving Bao'an Hall. The direction she went seemed to be the location of Phoenix Mountain. She must have gone to see Hu Meiniang, but Ao Qingmei raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was really curiosity in her eyes - but when did her elder sister know Hu Meiniang
"Second sister, you figured it out too, right?" Xiaoqing suddenly stopped and asked.
Ao Qingmei tried hard to recall, trying to find the slightest memory about Hu Meiniang, but she really didn't remember meeting her before, nor did she remember hearing her elder sister mention Hu Meiniang. Just as she was feeling disappointed, she heard Xiaoqing's question, and was startled for a moment. She paused, turned her head and looked at Xiaoqing blankly. It was obvious that she didn't hear Xiaoqing's question clearly in her distraction, while Bai Suzhen on the side was shocked and looked at Xiaoqing silently, as if she knew what she was talking about.
"Second sister, you should have noticed it too, right?... Eldest sister seems to like Hu Meiniang." Xiaoqing glanced at Ao Qingmei with thought in her eyes. Without waiting for Ao Qingmei to answer, she continued to talk to herself, "I also saw the blood jade on Hu Meiniang's neck just now. It is indeed eldest sister's. Eldest sister would not give away her personal belongings to others for no reason. And you should have seen that eldest sister cares about Hu Meiniang in a very special way. She likes Hu Meiniang, I'm sure of that." In the past, Xiaoqing might not have seen any suspicion and would not have been so sure. But ever since she fell in love with Bai Suzhen, she has been particularly sensitive to matters of the heart. She can see the look in her eldest sister's eyes when she looks at Hu Meiniang, and there is deep affection in her pity. She is sure that her eldest sister likes Hu Meiniang.
Ao Qingmei was not surprised by Xiaoqing's words. She had also noticed something suspicious in the room just now. She vaguely realized that there must be something between her eldest sister and Hu Meiniang. So she was reluctant to let her eldest sister suffer, but she still took Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen away and let her take care of Hu Meiniang alone. Moreover, with the precedent of Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen, Ao Qingmei easily accepted the fact that her eldest sister also liked a woman. It was just that when she thought that two of the three sisters liked women, she felt a little emotional. Suddenly, she couldn't help but think, "Will I also like women in the future?" But she immediately waved it away in her mind... After tidying up her mood, Ao Qingmei glanced at Bai Suzhen, suddenly raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Xiaoqing, and smiled meaningfully: "Third sister, do you think my eldest sister likes Hu Meiniang?"
Seeing that Ao Qingmei was smiling with ill intentions, Xiaoqing subconsciously became alert. She looked at Ao Qingmei as if guarding against a thief and frowned, "Don't tell me you didn't see it?"
"Yeah." Ao Qingmei nodded, but pretended not to understand Xiaoqing's words, and said seriously: "Eldest sister likes Hu Meiniang very much, and I like her too. Third sister, you shouldn't hate her, she is so similar to Sister Bai, as the saying goes, love the house and love the dog..."
"Second sister, do you know what I mean by liking you?" Xiaoqing interrupted Ao Qingmei and said unhappily. She was sure that her second sister was trying to make fun of her again. She knew that she had other intentions, but she was still talking nonsense here.
"Hmm?" Ao Qingmei frowned at first, and then as if he suddenly understood something, his eyes turned, and he suddenly reached out and took Bai Suzhen's arm, and deliberately leaned towards Bai Suzhen, looking at Xiaoqing with a smile, and said: "Third sister, when you say like, do you mean the kind of "like" you have for Sister Bai?" She deliberately emphasized the word "like", and as expected, Ao Qingmei noticed that Bai Suzhen's face beside her turned slightly red.
"Second sister!" Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at Ao Qingmei, pulled her aside, changed her position, and protected Bai Suzhen by her side, keeping her far away from Ao Qingmei. Her sister was hers, and even her own sister could not touch her. "I'm talking to you about serious matters!"
"Don't worry, third sister. I won't compete with you for Bai Suzhen's position." Ao Qingmei became playful and hooked Xiaoqing's shoulders, smiling lazily and comforting her kindly. After she finished speaking, she deliberately gave Bai Suzhen a charming smile, full of charm and seemed to be teasing her.
Ao Qingmei was graceful and charming, with a gorgeous appearance. She was dressed in red, bright and dazzling. Even without a smile, she was as beautiful as a peach and plum. When she smiled, she was even more charming. Although Bai Suzhen was a woman, she couldn't help but be dazzled. However, strangely, her heart was as calm as water. She didn't lose her mind and palpitate when she saw Xiaoqing's smile. She saw Xiaoqing secretly looking at her from the corner of her eye. There was obvious tension on her face, and she couldn't help laughing. "Qing'er—" She sighed and chuckled, reaching out to hold Xiaoqing's hand tightly.
Xiaoqing raised the corner of her mouth and a cheerful smile immediately appeared on her face. She shook off Ao Qingmei's arm rudely, held Bai Suzhen's slender hand instead, and said proudly: "Second sister, you should save your beauty trick for Ning Xi. I won't fall for it." Suddenly, she frowned, changed her voice, and turned to look at Bai Suzhen, "Why is it so cold? Sister, did you catch a cold?" With her fingers folded, the palms of her hands felt a little cold, and Xiaoqing couldn't help but get nervous.
"Qing'er, I'm fine. It's just that the weather is cold and damp, and I'm a little chilled. Your hands are a little cold, too." Bai Suzhen smiled calmly and comforted her softly. It rained last night, and it stopped this morning. The air was a little humid, so it was inevitable that her hands were a little cold.
Xiaoqing's expression eased a little after hearing this: "Sister, I'll accompany you to the room to get another piece of clothing later. It's cold, you should wear more clothes."
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Qing'er, that's not necessary." She was not so weak that Xiaoqing was making her too worried.
Xiaoqing insisted, and said in an unquestionable tone: "I must, I don't want you to catch a cold."
"Okay. I'll listen to you." Bai Suzhen couldn't persuade Xiaoqing, so she had to agree with a smile.
"It's rare that our Third Princess Long is so thoughtful and caring." Ao Qingmei brushed her sleeves, looked at the two of them with a smile, and praised them out loud. After a pause, she said, "Third sister, there's no need to wait any longer. Why don't you accompany Sister Bai back to her room now? I also want to go out for a walk alone." As she spoke, she was about to leave, but suddenly seemed to remember something, so she stopped and turned back and said, "Oh, by the way, I think it's not bad that my eldest sister has someone she likes, even though the other party is also a woman." With a bright smile, she left gracefully.
Xiaoqing stood there, looking at Ao Qingmei's departing back, silent for a moment, suddenly took a deep breath, retracted her gaze, turned her head and smiled at Bai Suzhen, saying, "Sister, I'll accompany you back to your room."
