In the crowd, a woman sneered, "Talking so nicely, but to put it bluntly, Lady Li also bullies the weak and fears the strong."
Lady Li was taken aback and asked, "Why do you speak of like this?"
The woman replied, "Isn’t it true? You don’t want to offend anyone? Listen to how nice you sound, but before, how did you fight back and forth with Madam Wang?"
Lady Li retorted, "How can soone like Madam Wang, with her background, compare to us?"
"That’s why, Lady Li, you are just approaching Madam Situ for her status, speaking so grandiosely about not wanting to offend. I see you as just a double-dealing person."
It seems the woman speaking was straightforward, saying whatever was on her mind.
Hearing these words, Lady Li’s expression changed, but she held it back and said nothing.
Among the won present, most had better family situations than hers. Two were even daughters of her father’s superiors, so she dared not offend them.
Xuexue hid in the shadows, listening for a while, and roughly understood the situation.
This Lady Li was just a reed in the wind, swaying in two directions.
Usually, in front of her, she would speak ill of the other won in the mansion, and in front of the other won, she would speak ill of her. She really played the good person well!
Xuexue did not expose her and turned around to leave.
So inconsequential people, knowing her true nature, as long as they don’t get too close to her, it’s enough just to avoid her, without needing to beco enemies.
The next morning, after freshening up, Xuexue was prepared to visit the shop outside after finishing her breakfast.
Breakfast was just set, and like every other day, Lady Li ca with a few maids.
Lady Li’s approach was, firstly, to pay respect to Xuexue and try to establish a connection, and secondly, due to her lower status and the poor food in the mansion, she could take this opportunity to improve her als while being on sisterly terms with Xuexue. A win-win situation indeed!
Furthermore, ever since she beca close with Xuexue, even the Prince was more amiable when he saw her.
Lady Li stepped in, smiling, "Sister, why are you dressed so beautifully today?"
Since she was preparing to go out, Xuexue was dressed elaborately.
Lady Li assud that after saying this, Xuexue would, as usual, invite her to sit down and have breakfast together. After all, this had always been the case, and she got used to this invitation, eventually considering it as a matter of course.
Xuexue rely said in a mild tone, "I have to go inspect the shop in a bit, so I’m dressed a bit more formally."
Ever since everyone learned that she was the owner of the Qinger Building, Xuexue didn’t hide it anymore and went openly to inspect the Qinger Building, no longer like before where she had to put on makeup, dress up, and disguise herself as a man to dare to step inside. Situtu Qinger’s exposure saved her a lot of effort.
Lady Li laughed, "Sister, you really have great skills, possessing the deanor of a Matriarch, so good at managing finances. In the future, the War Prince’s Mansion managed by Sister will certainly make the Prince very assured."
After speaking, Lady Li glanced left and right, thinking Xuexue would invite her to sit down and have breakfast, but after waiting and waiting, Xuexue still sat there, dining elegantly, without any intention of inviting her to join.
Gradually, the smile on Lady Li’s face stiffened.
"Since Sister is having breakfast, I won’t disturb you," she said.
With no choice, Lady Li had to take her leave.
"Take care, Lady Li." Xuexue didn’t even lift her head, focusing on eating her food, just replying with a casual remark.
