Chapter 198: Chapter 199 Lin Xuanxuan Clashes with Someone

"Nanli, bring my sister to the Lan Room, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, and it’s time to catch up,"

Lin Xuanxuan said with a smile to Chu Nanli, but her eyes were looking at Lin Fuying.

If there were someone Lin Fuying hated and was most jealous of, it was Lin Xuanxuan.

At this moment, just seeing Lin Xuanxuan smile at her made her feel that the other party had ill intentions.

"Yunting brother..."

Lin Fuying looked at Ye Yunting with affectionate and shaking her head.

She didn’t want to be in the same room with Lin Xuanxuan, but it was inappropriate to say so directly, so she could only hint to Ye Yunting.

"What is it, after marrying into the Prince Residence, do you look down on your older sister?" Lin Xuanxuan saw through Lin Fuying’s cunning thoughts and spoke first.

"How could that be? I think about my sister all the time."

Lin Fuying bit her lip in a show of aggrievement, "How could sister think of me in that way?"

What Lin Xuanxuan found most annoying was this pretentious white lotus act of hers.

Clearly, her scheming had been seen through, yet she still put on a victimized front.

She pursed her lips and said, "Since my sister feels that way about me, then as sisters, we must catch up even more."

"Nanli, ask the servant to prepare more wine, today I want to spend some good time with my sister."

Now Lin Fuying had no choice but to refuse; she could only look at Ye Yunting for help, "Yunting brother, can you please come with me?"

Her voice was timid, her eyes innocent and fearful.

Ye Yunting remembered the miserable experience Lin Fuying had in the Lin Family and nodded his head.

Lin Fuying then breathed a sigh of relief.

With Ye Yunting backing her up, what significance did a mere Lin Xuanxuan have?

In the past, Lin Xuanxuan was the legitimate daughter, and she was the concubine-born.

But now, she was Ye Yunting’s Concubine, and Lin Xuanxuan could no longer trample her underfoot.

"Thank you, Yunting brother," Lin Fuying said with a joyous smile.

Chu Nanli was happy too.

Ye Yunting went with Lin Fuying to find Lin Xuanxuan, so did that mean she was free of involvement?

"Then, you two have a good time catching up, I’ll go get some fine wine for you all."

Chu Nanli turned to leave, but Ye Yunting grabbed her wrist.

She turned back, looking at Ye Yunting, puzzled.

"Such matters can be left to the servants,"

"As the Princess Consort, naturally, you should be there with me,"

Ye Yunting’s voice was cold but carried an unquestionable tone.

Chu Nanli was displeased but didn’t say much.

It was just a meal, after all.

It was also a good opportunity to see what Lin Xuanxuan was up to.

She must have had hidden motives to so keenly invite Lin Fuying; it couldn’t simply be about "catching up."

The three of them walked into the private room, where Luo Shuye had already finished eating. Seeing Chu Nanli coming over, he approached with enthusiasm.

"Sister, how did you come up with hot pot, such a delicious thing? You are amazing!"

Chu Nanli smiled, wanting to say that she did not invent the hot pot.

Then she suddenly remembered that some days before, she and Mengmeng had agreed on the "Family Secret Recipe" story.

"It’s not me who’s amazing; the recipe is a family secret," Chu Nanli said unflinchingly.

Luo Shuye seemed to have an epiphany.

"Oh, no wonder it’s so delicious. I’m off then, I’ll come again next time!"

"You’re leaving already? Are you full?" Chu Nanli asked.

"Yes, I’m full,"

"I’ll reciprocate the invitation another day."

Lin Fuying watched the harmonious interaction between Chu Nanli and Luo Shuye with jealousy.

Why did all these admirable men treat Chu Nanli so well, yet ignored her?

She didn’t think she was any less than Chu Nanli.

"Luo young master, are you leaving already?" Lin Fuying approached warmly.

Everyone says that one should not slap a smiling face.

Even if Ye Jiuxiao ignored her, Luo Shuye should at least show some face.

Getting connected with the young master of the General Family was also a good move.

"Why not stay for a while longer, it’s more lively when everyone’s together," Lin Fuying said with a gentle smile.

"No need!"

Luo Shuye’s refusal was stern, "Sitting at the same table with certain mean people, I fear I might be disgusted."

His voice carried obvious sarcasm.

Lin Fuying could tell that the "mean people" Luo Shuye referred to was herself and her eyes turned red in an instant.

She hadn’t expected Luo Shuye to not only disregard her feelings but also to mock her subtly.

Unfortunately, she had been in the wrong last time and couldn’t say much in her defense.

All she could do was look at Ye Yunting with a face full of grievance.

Ye Yunting’s face darkened, "Mr. Luo, don’t go too far!"

Luo Shuye tugged at his lip, not saying anything further. He was not foolish enough to offend Ye Yunting over such a trivial matter.

Ye Yunting, wise for a lifetime, yet unperceptive of people, would eventually come to regret it.

He chuckled indifferently and turned to leave.

And still, Lin Fuying appeared very much the victim.

"Prince, does Mr. Luo not like me..."

"Indeed, he doesn’t like you, is that not obvious?" Lin Xuanxuan said.

She was extremely annoyed by Lin Fuying’s constant act of feigning innocence, as if everyone else was bullying her, and the fault was always with others.

Having grown up together, she knew all too well what Lin Fuying was like behind the facade.

Vindictive, ruthless, jealous... nothing at all like the pitiful, kind, and innocent persona she showed to the world.

"Sister, you..."

Lin Fuying looked as if she had been wounded, shocked and appalled.

Lin Xuanxuan had no patience for her act, her lips curved in a mocking smile.

"Sister is merely presenting you with the facts, little sister should be thankful for it."

"In the future, when you see people who dislike you, keep your distance. At the very least, do not approach them proactively; it only serves to embarrass yourself,"

Lin Xuanxuan said coldly.

She understood her concubine-born sister’s little schemes too well.

Wasn’t she just trying to ingratiate herself with the powerful?

Seeing that Luo Shuye was the legitimate son of the General Family, she wanted to curry favor, but unfortunately, he had long realized what kind of person she was, and had no interest in acknowledging her.

Lin Fuying, having been publicly humiliated by Luo Shuye, was already in low spirits.

Seeing Lin Xuanxuan’s sneers only added to her anger.

"Sister, how can you mock me like this?"

"No, sister is teaching you the principles of being human..."

Seeing Lin Fuying deflated brought some relish to Lin Xuanxuan.

Her red lips slightly upturned, and as she lifted her chin, a pair of valuable ruby earrings shimmered with her movement, accentuating her dazzling grace.

Lin Fuying clenched her teeth with hatred, "So I should thank you now, sister?"

She loathed Lin Xuanxuan’s air of superiority the most, yet the latter had always been the treasured legitimate daughter of the family, getting anything she desired, no matter how expensive or rare it was.

Take, for example, the ruby earrings she was wearing that day, a rare gem from the Western Regions with a brilliance and luster far surpassing ordinary gems, and worth a fortune.

Even as a concubine, she couldn’t just have them on a whim.

Yet Lin Xuanxuan didn’t have to give anything in return to get them,

Both the daughters of the Prime Minister Residence, why the disparity!

Lin Fuying silently clenched her silver teeth.

"There’s no need for thanks between sisters,"

Lin Xuanxuan said, then picked up her bowl and chopsticks, paying Lin Fuying no more attention.

Chu Nanli, who had been enjoying the hotpot all this while, suddenly felt in much better spirits as she watched Lin Fuying getting counterattacked.

She hadn’t expected Lin Xuanxuan to be so good at confrontation.
