Pang Shuangyue’s face stiffened slightly; she probably didn’t get the effect she expected, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but she couldn’t show it. She had to smile at Long Yue...
Imagine feeling frustrated but still having to force a smile, how stifling is that?
Long Yue looked at her stiff expression and felt inexplicably satisfied, chuckling softly: "Sister, what’s wrong? Oh, your face doesn’t look too good? Could it be... caught a chill?"
"No..." Pang Shuangyue forced a smile, "I just feel that these past two years... sister has been wronged, so I feel bad."
"Wronged about what? I’ve been doing quite well this past year, my husband is... very loving toward ..."
When Long Yue ntioned Li Qingmu, she showed a sweet and shy smile, lowering her head slightly, clearly a genuine sense of contentnt.
Pang Shuangyue’s face looked even worse.
In her understanding, Pang Longyue was proud and arrogant; how could she marry a poor boy from the countryside?
Especially after she spread those rumors, she thought Longyue wouldn’t have a good life in her husband’s family!
But from the informants, she learned that Longyue had a good relationship with her husband, so she previously arranged for soone to ambush Li Qingmu on the way, intending to make Longyue a widow and never succeed in this life.
But now, not only have they succeeded, but they’ve co to the Capital City and been awarded positions!
This series of changes was beyond her expectations. She hadn’t shown up these days, pondering how to bring Longyue down again.
Today, she ca out to buy wedding supplies, accidentally saw Longyue, and wanted to use words to provoke her, to test her, and also...
"Shuang’er, have you selected everything..."
A young man in elegant clothing walked out from behind the curtain, stopped halfway through his words.
His eyes suddenly turned sharp, staring at the slender standing won.
"Yue... Yue’er?"
Pei Jinheng’s gaze slightly narrowed, from sharp to gradually softening, he said slowly, "I heard from others before that you returned."
Long Yue gently nodded, "Yes, I returned, to drink at your and sister’s wedding."
These words carried deep sarcasm, Pei Jinheng’s pupils slightly contracted. He looked at Long Yue, the girl who used to call out ’Brother Jinheng’ behind him—now has nothing to do with him?
"Yue’er, that man is not worthy of you!"
Pei Jinheng took a deep breath and said flatly.
Long Yue looked up at him, seeing his sincere expression, suddenly burst into laughter, "Mr. Pei, saying soone’s not worthy in front of his wife—don’t you think that’s a bit... impolite? Your fiancée is right beside you, how should she feel?"
After saying this, Long Yue also smiled at Pang Shuangyue.
Pang Shuangyue was eager to marry Pei Jinheng. To marry him, she even sched against herself. Now it seed she was about to succeed, but Pei Jinheng said such a thing.
Wasn’t this embarrassing her?
In that instant, Pang Shuangyue’s face turned livid, eyes darkly fixed on Long Yue.
Long Yue seed unaware, smilingly said, "Mr. Pei, good sister, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first! Oh, by the way, when are you having the wedding? I absolutely must co to have a drink! Haha, rember to send an invitation!"
After saying this, Long Yue pulled Yang Zhuoya along and gracefully left, not sparing a glance at the extrely displeased Pang Shuangyue.
After they left, Pang Shuangyue suddenly looked up, biting her red lips, unwillingly asking him, "Pei Jinheng, why must you embarrass ? She’s just a promiscuous..."
"Slap!"
Before finishing her words, Pei Jinheng’s firm hand landed rcilessly, making a crisp sound.
Pang Shuangyue held her swollen, painful cheek in disbelief, eyes filled with venom.
"Do you think I don’t know what kind of person Yue’er truly is? Hmph, I’ve already had soone investigate the previous incidents—it was you working behind the scenes!"
Pei Jinheng revealed a grim smile as he stepped forward, gripping her chin, and forcefully lifted her head, "Pang Shuangyue, do you not know why you have to marry ?
Hmph, it’s rely mutual exploitation between us. You don’t have the right to inquire about my affairs! As for Yue’er... she’s not soone you can dismiss!"
After finishing his words, Pei Jinheng didn’t bother with her any further, turning around to stride away.
Pang Shuangyue watched his departing figure until he completely disappeared, then suddenly erupted in a fit of fury.
"Pang, Long, Yue! Ah, you wretch, you despicable being! Why, why won’t you die! Why do you live to disgust ? Why, ahh—"
"Crash!"
The neat array of various ornants all toppled to the ground, so jade pieces shattered all over!
Clearly, she wanted to embarrass Longyue, but in the end, it was her own embarrassnt!
Hate, she hated deeply!
"Pei Jinheng! Do you think I am with you just because of your status? No, it’s not true, I genuinely like you, ah—"
Pang Shuangyue vented by smashing all the purchased ornants before calming down, with a trembling shop assistant approaching, "Miss... do you still want these..."
"Scram! All of you, scram!"
...
Long Yue and Yang Zhuoya left that shop and went to several others.
Yang Zhuoya tugged Long Yue’s sleeve, cautiously saying, "I don’t know why, but seeing your sister makes uncomfortable."
Worried Long Yue would misunderstand her intentions, she hurriedly explained, "I’m just saying, it’s just a feeling..."
"No, your feeling is right! My sister..." Long Yue squinted her eyes, chuckling lightly, "Do you rember the rumors in the Capital City a year and a half ago?"
"What rumors?" Yang Zhuoya looked at her, puzzled, "At that ti, I was giving birth, then in postpartum confinent, I knew nothing."
No wonder when I attended Consort Xue’s banquet, the noblewon looked at unfriendly, only Yang Zhuoya kept her head down, so she didn’t notice anything.
Long Yue said, "I was frad before, accused of having an affair with other n, it was... my sister who did it!"
Yang Zhuoya covered her small mouth in shock: "Your sister is truly vicious; my sisters aren’t great, but none are as malicious as she is..."
In deep houses and courtyards, it’s a joke to say there’s no power struggle. Even blood brothers fight over inheritance, let alone half-siblings.
Long Yue smiled, "Later, Father said I disgraced the family, so he married off to my husband. He was just a poor boy from the countryside... pfft, at first, I was quite disdainful, but gradually, I grew to like him."
"Hmm, I saw it earlier, your husband treats you well; the way he looks at you... it’s like my husband looking at , with doting affection... haha..."
The two won, talking about their n, covered their mouths, laughing secretly.
