Xue Shaoli raised her head and saw that Xue Ruyun didn't even lower his head to look at her. A thick killing intent flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by grief and shame.
He saw her take out a silk handkerchief from her waist, sniffling a bit before feigning a pitiful appearance.
"I sincerely wish to visit you, sister. I don't know where your words come from." Xue Shaoli felt wronged as she spoke.
"Can you not do this every time? To be honest, I'm tired of watching you act for so many years." Xue Luoyun raised his head and said. Xue Shaoli always pretended to be weak, but her schemes were more vicious than anyone else, and Xue Ruoyun would never fall for his tricks again.
"Sister, I have always been weak and not as strong as you. If sister doesn't like me crying, then I will endure it." Xue Shaoli said as she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"What you're saying is, on the contrary, my fault. It makes people feel that as an older sister, I'm not allowed to cry." Xue Ruyun impatiently said. He didn't know what she came here to do today, but could it be that she wanted to show that she pitied the servants and then say she was fierce?
Regardless of what her goal was, Xue Luoyun had already completely seen through her. In any case, every time she came, it would definitely be a bad thing.
"If you have something to say, then just say it. If you have nothing to do, then just come and see me, then you've already seen it." Do as you please. " Xue Ruyun couldn't bear to see her act, so she didn't want to waste any words. She turned around and was about to leave the guest hall.
"Sister, please wait …" As Xue Shaoli spoke, she actually threw herself onto the ground and grabbed Xue Ruoyun's dress, kneeling down. This great bow of hers caused Xue Ruoyun and Yun Zhi to be even more shocked.
"What are you doing?" "Hurry and get up." Xue Ruyun quickly ordered Yun Zhi to help her up so that no one would see. He didn't know what kind of criticism would come out.
"Sister, I know I did a lot of wrong before. It made you hate me, but this time I really know I was wrong." In these few years in Qingshui County, I reflect day in and day out, and my heart is full of remorse. Now that his third sister has passed away, only you and me are left. "This makes me feel even more precious …"
Xue Shaoli could not hold it anymore and said with tears all over her face.
Xue Ruyun saw that she was speaking with sincerity and couldn't help but be moved, but she still didn't say anything because she was too good at acting. She was a hundred times more complex than Xue Lian's painting.
"This is the jade my father gave me before he left. He said that it was as though I had seen him when he saw this jade pendant." His father was old, his hair was full of flowers, and his mother was very ill. Now that we are both in the capital, father's only wish is for us two sisters to work together and not harbor any ill will anymore. "
Xue Shaoli cried and felt the jade pendant on her waist. She took it out in an instant and made up some touching words.
When he heard that Xue Duan Sheng and the Zhao Clan had become like this, Xue Ruoyun couldn't bear to bear it any longer. Indeed, since Xue Duan had been demoted, his days wouldn't be easy. As for Mrs Zhao, although he hated her, she couldn't help but sigh now that she had fallen into such a predicament.
"This is …" Father's? " Xue Ruyun hesitantly received the jade and carefully examined it. This was an ordinary jade pendant, but its color was warm and well-preserved. Presumably, it was brought along with him and it was even more precious.
He saw that Xue Ruyun was somewhat convinced. Xue Shaoli was secretly delighted. He did not expect the broken jade pendant that he was going to throw away at that time to be so useful now.
"Yes, this was given to him by his mother when he rushed to the capital to take the exam. Although it is not expensive, his father has always kept it. The reason I'm giving it to you now is because I hope that we can still remember this endless act of kinship and kinship … "
Xue Shaoli made up a lot of emotional statements, and it was touching.
"Then what do you want me to do for you?" Xue Luoyun asked hesitantly while holding the jade pendant.
"Madam …" After hearing these words, Yun Zhi was worried that her heart would soften again, so she quickly and gently tugged at her sleeve.
Xue Ruyun turned his head to look at Yun Zhi, expressing, "I know what I'm doing."
Lange had to say nothing more.
"Nothing. Your little sister only hopes that you can forgive the little sister you had in the past. Xue Shaoli knew that Xue Ruyun had his guard up against her. Right now, he was probing her. With her sharp wit, of course he wouldn't reveal his thoughts right now.
Hearing this, Yun Zhi let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Yun Zhi had dispelled her doubts, she guessed that Xue Ruoyun was the same. Xue Shaoli was relieved.
"My parents are not here, we're the only sisters in the capital. In the future, his sister would only treat his sister as a family member. It's just that Big Sister is an imperial concubine, while Little Sister is only a concubine. Xue Shaoli said with a hint of excitement in her voice.
"What did little sister say? Everyone knows that you and the third prince are in love with each other. Although your status is a bit low right now, you will still receive endless favors in the future." Xue Ruyun said as she followed her words.
Hearing this, Xue Shaoli was pleased with herself and stood up slowly with a smile on her face.
The two chatted for a while longer, Xue Shaoli flattering them as much as she could. It was a long time before they bade farewell and left.
After Xue Shaoli left, Xue Ruoyun looked at the jade pendant in his hand and said nothing for a long time, as if he was deep in thought about something.
"I thought she didn't have good intentions. The reason I came to pay my respects was because you, wife, have become an imperial concubine. She's just a concubine who wants to curry favor with a woman. In the future, she'll use her status as a lady to praise herself." Yun Zhi said in disdain.
"Do you think that's what she meant?" After hearing Yun Zhi say this, Xue Ruoyun carefully put away the jade pendant and stood up to say.
"Then what does she mean?" Yun Zhi scratched her head and asked puzzledly, "Madam, you can't really believe that she's because of the deep affection between sisters, right?"
"Even more so, I've been tricked so many times, could it be that I can't learn to be good?" Xue Luoyun helplessly smiled.
"She has always been a schemer, and she doesn't submit to me. She must have some sort of ulterior motive for coming to the capital to play emotional cards as soon as she arrived." Xue Luoyun said as he walked.
"Is there anything else apart from Mrs Kiki?" Yun Zhi followed, supporting Xue Ruoyun as they walked.
"It looks like she's just trying to curry favor with me, but she must be planning to use this as an opportunity to assassinate me. Although I lowered my head just now, I saw a flash of hatred in her eyes. It seems that her motive wasn't that simple. " Xue Ruyun thoughtfully said.
"Then why do you care about her? Why didn't you expose her or get someone to kick her out …" Yun Zhi said indignantly.
"You saw what happened just now. She had a pitiful expression and even kneeled on the spot. If I do not forgive her, I will inevitably fall into the reputation of being cold-blooded and heartless. Her Majesty has just changed her opinion of me, and I don't want the whole city to start criticizing me again. " Xue Ruoyun said irritably. If he didn't agree, then it wasn't because he was tricked by Xue Shaoli that he had ruined his own reputation.
"Yeah, she really can do it." Yun Zhi agreed.
"In addition, she deliberately approached me, so as to not harm me. It's easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. If I don't accept her, then there might be even more schemes. She was by his side, so he had to be more careful. Furthermore, there are still many unsolved mysteries behind her actions in the Underground City. I will accept her and at the same time, investigate her. "
Xue Luoyun analyzed each line.
"So Madam already knew what she was doing. This servant was worried about Madam just now, worried that you had been tricked by her." A smile appeared on Yun Zhi's face.
"It wasn't that I was credulous before. It's just that I still have some hope for kinship, so I don't care too much about it. Now that everything was clear to see, it was clear who was sincere and who was not. I'm not giving up my feelings for someone who's not worth it. "
Xue Ruyun lightly said. He lowered his head and shook Yun Zhi's hand that was holding her. After accompanying her for so many years, thinking of everything for her sake, being completely loyal to her, she was the one she should cherish.
Although it was just a small action, Yun Zhi's heart was very warm. Being with Madam for so many years, she had treated her like a sister. She was sincere and had no regrets in her life.
Xue Shaoli's face was still wet from the tears, but the corners of her mouth were wide open in a crafty smile. This time, she wanted to place a long line around this big fish.
As Xue Shaoli walked, she saw gongs and drums fill the streets. The commoners crowded in one direction with incomparable excitement.
"What is it?" Xue Shaoli pushed them away in annoyance, but there were too many of them. In the end, she was pushed forward by the crowd.
Far off in the distance, on top of a few horses sat a few men dressed in exotic clothing. Their hair was strange and they wore scimitars on their bodies. Honey wax and coral hung around their necks, giving them the appearance of nobility.
Behind them was a group of servants also wearing strange clothing. They were holding many precious treasures in their hands, and they were using carts to drag heavy objects. Presumably, they were also precious treasures.
Xue Shaoli looked at the parade, the parade, and then at the high-ranking officials from the Western Liangliang who had come to greet her and knew, "So it's the envoys from the comfort base who have arrived. I heard that this consoling country is very powerful and very rich, and it looks like it's true. "
However, Xue Shaoli was well aware of the relationship between Xi Liang and the masturbation base. Now that the two countries were at loggerheads, it was likely that there would be many good things happening in the capital. When Xue Shaoli thought of this, she smiled and pushed her way out of the crowd.
Since it was too early to go to court that day, they were temporarily placed in a post station until the next day, when they would pay their respects to the emperor. This gave Mu Sheng and Mu Zheng an opportunity to arrange things. The comfort base also wants to take the opportunity to ask about the state of the west and prepare for tomorrow's entry.
