"So her name is Yun Xuezhi. What a special name.”Young Master Xuan muttered in his heart, but his eyes were still fixed on Yun Xuezhi's indifferent and beautiful face.
"Speaking of my little sister, she's really pitiful. She's been a fool since she was born. She just recovered a while ago. If my little sister offends any of you in the future, I hope you can forgive her for my sake.”As she spoke, Yun Xue Rao bowed in front of all the guests. Her act of 'protecting her sister' immediately won her a lot of praise.
Yun Xuezhi had seen Yun Xue Rao's wonderful performance, but she didn't want to expose her. As long as she could hide in the Yun family and wait for an opportunity to get close to the Crown Prince for revenge, she didn't want to argue with anyone in the Yun family.
Yun Xue Rao's words were so shocking that she became the 'Big Sister' in everyone's heart. From time to time, some young masters would come up and toast her.
Only then did Yun Xuezhi have some leisure time. She found a corner and sat down. She was not interested in such a noisy and boring banquet. The reason why she attended today was to integrate into the Yun family so that the Yun family would not suspect her.
Looking around, Yun Xuezhi saw indifference and ruthlessness in Grand Preceptor Yun's eyes, viciousness and indifference in Madam Yun's eyes, and disdain and contempt in Second Sister, Third Sister, and Fourth Sister's eyes. Yun Xuezhi downed the cup of wine and felt rather helpless. She suddenly felt that Yun Xuezhi's situation was even worse than Yu Linglong's situation in the past. She and Yun Xuezhi could be considered to have fallen from the heavens.
"Miss Yun has a good tolerance for alcohol!" Just as Yun Xuezhi was pouring herself another glass of wine, a very pleasant male voice suddenly sounded out of thin air. Yun Xuezhi looked up and saw a face that made him hate his guts.
"Crown Prince!" Yun Xuezhi's gaze instantly turned cold. Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly realized that the man in front of her was not the Crown Prince. He only looked 70% similar to the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince's eyes had always been emotionless, but this man's eyes were filled with smiles. This kind of smile made Yun Xuezhi feel a long-lost warmth. Even though she could see that this man was not the Crown Prince, Yun Xuezhi still felt that he was very familiar. She carefully recalled that this man was the Crown Prince's fourth brother, Murong Xuanyu.
Why was he here? This made Yun Xuezhi somewhat puzzled. If she became friends with him, she might have a better chance of getting close to the Crown Prince. Yun Xuezhi smiled at the man." Would this young master like to have a drink?”
Just as he was thinking about why Yun Xuezhi was stunned when she saw him, he was naturally very happy to hear Yun Xuezhi say this. He sat beside Yun Xuezhi and poured a cup of wine for her." I see that everyone has gone to congratulate Miss Xue Rao, but I feel that the one who should be congratulated the most is Miss Xue Zhi."”
"What do you mean?" Yun Xuezhi looked at the man in front of her carefully, trying her best to find a familiar feeling on the man's face. It was the face that she used to love and now hated.
"After all, today is Miss Xuezhi's welcoming banquet, naturally we should congratulate Miss Xuezhi first.”Young Master Xuan finished the glass of wine in one gulp and turned the glass upside down to prove that there was not a drop of wine left in it.
"Since Young Master is so polite, then Xuezhi will respectfully obey.”As Yun Xuezhi spoke, she also downed the wine in her cup. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Not far away, Yun Xue Rao had just finished drinking the wine that everyone was toasting her with when she saw Young Master Xuan sitting with Yun Xue Zhi. This made her furious. How could the man she liked first be seduced by that brat? Yun Xue Rao's kindness was completely wiped out.
Yun Xue Rao gave a look to a woman in a pink dress. The woman immediately nodded.
Yun Xuezhi and Young Master Xuan were chatting when the woman in pink walked up to Yun Xuezhi with a glass of wine and said in a clear voice,"Fifth Young Miss Yun, this little girl has just arrived at the Yun Residence today. I admire Fifth Young Miss's personality of not going with the flow. I've specially come to toast Fifth Young Miss. I hope Fifth Young Miss can bestow me with a glass of wine!”
The woman's words were filled with sincerity and her voice was extremely clear. Almost everyone in the hall heard her words and looked at Yun Xuezhi. If Yun Xuezhi did not accept the toast of the woman in pink at this moment, it would be too unreasonable.
Yun Xuezhi felt everyone's attention on her. She raised her eyes and glanced at the smiling woman in pink. She did not know this woman and had never seen her in her memory. She should not have any special motives. Although Yun Xuezhi was not interested in responding to these boring formalities, this was a public place after all. It was necessary to put on an act occasionally.
"Thank you!" Thinking of this, Yun Xuezhi stood up and took the wine cup that the pink-clothed woman handed over. She raised her head and drank it in one gulp. The wine entered her throat, but there was an indescribable sourness. The taste of this wine was really not good.
Yun Xuezhi finished drinking and was about to sit back down, but the woman in pink pulled her sleeve. Yun Xuezhi immediately stopped and looked at her coldly. What was this woman trying to do?
"Fifth Young Miss Yun, there is actually something that I have been unable to understand. I would like to personally ask Fifth Young Miss for advice.”The pink-clothed woman seemed to not care about Yun Xuezhi's cold gaze at all. Her face was always full of smiles, but at this moment, this smile seemed to be somewhat hypocritical.
"What's the use of asking me about something you don't understand?”Yun Xuezhi had no interest in being entangled with this woman and only responded coldly.
"Fifth Young Lady's words are wrong." The woman in pink reacted extremely quickly, not giving Yun Xuezhi any chance to escape. At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the two of them. Everyone seemed to have sensed that a good show was about to happen.
"This matter concerns Fifth Young Lady's reputation and integrity. How can Fifth Young Lady be so indifferent?”The woman in pink immediately put on a worried expression, as if Yun Xuezhi was her biological sister.
"What do you mean?" Yun Xuezhi frowned slightly. She was somewhat baffled by the woman in pink's words.
"We all know that Fifth Young Lady was kidnapped by bandits more than a month ago. Originally, we all thought that Fifth Young Lady was doomed this time, but we didn't expect Fifth Young Lady to suddenly return safely. Not only that, Fifth Young Lady's personality has completely changed.”
The woman in pink was eloquent. With a few simple words, she made the story of Yun Xuezhi being kidnapped by the bandits seem ambiguous. Although her tone was still doubtful, it was as if she had told everyone that something had definitely happened to Yun Xuezhi in the village that would tarnish her reputation.
As soon as these words were said, everyone looked at Yun Xuezhi with a strange gaze. Many noble ladies felt ashamed for Yun Xuezhi and covered half of their faces with silk scarves. There were also quite a number of playboys from wealthy families who looked at Yun Xuezhi with fiery eyes. It was as if Yun Xuezhi was now like those brothel girls, ready to be kissed at any time.
"These are all my matters. There's no need to explain to you.”Yun Xue Zhi understood the woman in pink's intentions. She must have been sent by Yun Xue Rao to target her. Yun Xue Zhi knew that the banquet Yun Xue Rao held for her wouldn't be so simple. So it was for this.
"If Fifth Miss doesn't explain herself, does that mean that she has tacitly agreed?”The woman in pink said aggressively and sharply.
Yun Xuezhi coldly looked at the woman in pink, her eyes filled with killing intent. Even though the woman in pink had Yun Xue Rao's support, she couldn't help but feel shocked. However, she had heard some things about Yun Xuezhi from Yun Xue Rao. She believed that even if Yun Xuezhi wasn't a fool, she wouldn't be that powerful. Thinking of this, she met Yun Xuezhi's eyes without any fear.
"Yes, Fifth Sister, this matter is also what Sister is worried about.”Just as the atmosphere was in a deadlock, Yun Xue Rao suddenly walked up gracefully and grabbed Yun Xue Zhi's hand. Her face was full of sisterly affection." Fifth Sister, although you're still young, you'll be married in less than two years. Father and mother had been planning for this matter, but at this critical juncture, such a thing had happened. Fifth Sister, you'd better explain it clearly to everyone. Otherwise, no one would really come to propose marriage.”Yun Xue Rao said with a worried face as if she was the one who couldn't get married.
Yun Xuezhi wanted to laugh. She had thought that Yun Xue Rao was very cunning and smart, but she didn't expect her to put on such a low-level show. If it was the Yun Xuezhi of the past, she would have been humiliated to death by so many people's doubts. She might even have jumped into a well and let it go. However, the current Yun Xuezhi was the Imperial Tutor who was once second only to one person and above ten thousand people. She didn't care about such a childish show at all.
Even so, Yun Xue Zhi still wanted to cooperate with Yun Xue Rao and see what she would do next.”
"Younger Sister's reputation is Elder Sister's reputation. In order to prove Younger Sister's innocence, Elder Sister can only go all out and examine Younger Sister's body in front of everyone.”Yun Xue Rao was worried and her eyes were filled with sadness. If people weren't familiar with her, they would think that everything was real.
After she said this, the surrounding spectators became even more spirited. Whether they wanted to see a joke or take advantage of her, they all had the same thoughts as Yun Xue Rao.
Yun Xue Zhi's heart tightened. Even though she had experienced many big situations, she didn't expect Yun Xue Rao to say this. This surprised her," Face to face test? That's not very convenient, right?"
