“Eldest sister, what do you mean by that?”

“Nothing much, just feeling sorry for Auntie Tang’s wasted efforts.”

Upon hearing this, Situtu Qinger became somewhat displeased, ” Eldest sister, although we are half-sisters, we are still sisters. If you have something to say, just say it.”

What sweet words, ‘sisters’?

In her heart, Xuexue sneered repeatedly. In her previous life, it was this phrase that led to her death.

It was not until the moment before her death that she realized the person who caused her demise was none other than Situtu Qinger, the very sister who always spoke so fondly of sisterly bonds.

One thousand and one cuts, such a ruthless punishment, was actually used on her, the person whom Qinger always addressed dearly as eldest sister.

It showed just how much Situtu Qinger loathed her in her previous life.

“Second sister, Auntie Tang wholeheartedly tried to create a good reputation for you, yet in broad daylight, you actually sat on a maid. Isn’t that ruining your own reputation?”

Xuexue felt a deep resentment in her heart, yet managed to maintain her composure.

Only then did Situtu Qinger have an epiphany, “Right, right, how did I not think of this?” She stood up from the maid.

Turning around, she said to Mei Hua, “Stand up.”

Mei Hua really wanted to stand up right away, but because Situtu Qinger had been sitting on her legs for a stretch of the journey, causing them to feel somewhat numb and tingly as if a myriad of ants was biting, it was unbearably uncomfortable and she simply couldn’t rise, so she could only look distressed and say, “Miss, wait a moment, please. This maid’s legs are completely numb. I really can’t stand. ”

“A mere maid, and you act so precious!” Situtu Qinger glared at her fiercely.

Mei Hua, seeing Situtu Qinger’s displeased face, made an effort to stand, “Miss, please take your seat. I will stand.”

“Humph! Of course you will stand. Did you expect me, the distinguished young lady of the General’s Mansion, to stand? That would be preposterous, wouldn’t it?”

The carriage’s canopy was low; what was politely referred to as standing was actually more of a bending at the waist and stooping of the back, and the slightest carelessness could lead to bumping into the canopy. Not to mention, standing like this was quite a strain, and the occasional jostle of the carriage made it even more nerve-wracking, for fear of being thrown to the ground by accident.

It was only then that Mei Hua realized she had been too optimistic before.

The Second Miss wouldn’t possibly be so kind as to give up her seat for a mere maid like her.

At the gates of the Imperial Palace, many luxurious carriages were already stopped.

External carriages were not allowed inside the Imperial Palace.

Thus, everyone attending today’s banquet had to disembark at the gates and then proceed on foot inside the Imperial Palace.

The carriage slowly came to a halt.

Xuexue and Zi Xia exited the carriage.

Following closely behind were Situtu Qinger and her personal maid, Mei Hua.

However, after descending from the carriage, Situtu Qinger didn’t stand with Xuexue but instead headed over to where the young ladies of noble families were gathering.

Naturally, having grown up in the Capital, she knew more people.

Unlike Xuexue, who had only just returned to the General’s Mansion and didn’t recognize anyone.

Situtu Qinger could be seen chatting with the noble young ladies and pointing at Xuexue from time to time. It was unclear what she was saying.

“Eldest Miss, the Second Miss is pointing at us. What is she saying about us?” Zi Xia, puzzled by the laughter, couldn’t help asking Xuexue.

“Let her say whatever she wants to say!” Xuexue said nonchalantly.

She didn’t need to guess to know it wasn’t anything good.

Just at that moment, Situ Yongjie arrived swiftly on horseback.

Seeing only Xuexue and her servant, he was quite surprised, “Xuexue, where is Qinger? Didn’t she come?”
