Chapter 128 - Conspiracy
At this moment, within the private room, Guo Xiang was lying on the table as if she had nothing better to do. She pouted and complained, "Dead Yue"er, why haven"t you come back yet when you went out to buy something?"
She didn"t know that after Yue"er left her room, she was quietly taken away by Qiuxiang to the room next door.When Wushang found Guo Xiang, he saw her, dressed in men"s clothing, looking like an elegant and graceful young n.o.ble. She was holding a teacup in her hands, and her round eyes were fixed on the teacup as she fiddled with it. His heartbeat inexplicably quickened. Wushang knocked on the door, and Guo Xiang could not even be bothered to raise her head as she complained with a face full of hidden bitterness,
"Die Yue"er, how long have you been gone for? You"re only back now!"
Wushang frowned. So she was frowning because she was waiting for Yue"er. Seeing that there was no activity at the door for a long time, Guo Xiang suddenly looked up towards the door. When he saw Wushang expressionlessly standing at the doorway, staring at him, he was so agitated that he almost slipped down from his chair.Seeing that, Wushang moved to Guo Xiang"s side and supported her. Guo Xiang"s mind went blank. How could she still remember that she was waiting for Yue"er? She lifted her eyes to look at the man she missed and gave him a foolish smile. "Wushang …" Is that you? "
The waiter pa.s.sed by the door with a plate of fruit in his hand. When he saw the two men in the room embracing each other, he accidentally dropped the bowl on the ground. There was a loud noise, and Guo Xiang hurriedly took a step back, his hands not knowing where to place them.
"That, that, hey!" What are you looking at! If you continue to look, be careful that I might dig out your eyes! "
He suddenly shouted at the waiter, and the waiter, seeing this, sneaked down the stairs with a face full of dust. Guo Xiang regained his senses and looked at Wushang with a faint blush on his face. She asked quietly, "When are you coming?"Wushang replied coldly, "I just arrived." After a pause, he asked, "When will Yue Er be back?"
Now that he had found the two of them, he had to send a message to his mistress as soon as possible, so that Mo Xie could be at ease.
"Yue Er has been out for almost an hour. I am also waiting for her." All of a sudden, Guo Xiang glanced at Wushang and asked, "Tell me, could she be in danger?"
Wushang"s body froze for a moment. Without thinking, he pulled Guo Xiang"s hand and ran downstairs. Seeing her hand being held by a big hand, a happy smile emerged from the corner of Guo Xiang"s mouth.Although Wushang"s hand was cold, at this moment, her heart was warmer than anyone else"s. Because he was worried about Yue"er, Wushang forgot that Guo Xiang was still dressed as a man, and Guo Xiang cared even less about her own clothes and the gazes of others. Just like that, the two of them left the Yellow Crane Tower under the watchful eyes of the crowd and went out in search of Yue Er"s figure.
They did not know that Yue"er had not left the Yellow Crane Restaurant.Yue"er was sitting in the next room, listening to Baihe recount their past. After a long time, she covered her eyes with tears and asked, "Are you speaking the truth?"
Lily turned around and walked in front of Yue Er. She gently smiled and said, "Xiao"er, it"s alright if you don"t remember your sister. Your mother asked someone to stab the word "Xiao" on your foot. You see mine, mine is a promise. "
After saying that, Baihe hastily lifted up her skirt and showed the words on her feet to Yue"er, continuing, "Our two names and together means we have promised. Back then, father promised mother that he would come back to pick us up, but he didn"t. "Nona, I"m your own sister!"Yue"er blankly stared at Lily, not knowing what to say. She had always wanted to have a family of her own, but now, an older sister had suddenly appeared. She found it hard to accept.
In the past few years at the General"s Estate, although she had been very bitter by Miss Mo"s side, she could still be considered happy. Now, Miss Mo Jiu had changed a lot and treated her a lot better than before. Sometimes, she felt like the younger sister of Miss Mo Jiu, deeply favored by her.
Now, with the sudden appearance of someone telling her they were sisters, she needed to digest these things. Coming back to her senses, Yue Er told Lily:
"Give me some time, I"ve thought it through. I will think of a way to contact you. "Okay?" Although she couldn"t accept it now, she didn"t want to hurt her sister either.
Upon hearing Yue Er"s words, Lily was startled, but she didn"t refuse. She nodded and smiled, "Mn, big sister will wait for you. "Nore, take this."With that, Lily took out a jade pendant. On it was the name of Yue Er that she had specially requested for two days ago.
Yue"er looked at the priceless jade pendant, and hurriedly pushed it back to Lily, "I cannot accept this, it is too precious. With my ident.i.ty, I am not fit to wear it."
"Who said you aren"t worthy? "Xiao"er, from today onwards, you must always remember that you are the younger sister of my lily, the younger sister of the concubine of the State of Tong Li. One day, I will make you the younger sister of the Emperor of Tong Li!" No one else was worthy! But you are definitely worthy! "
Yue Er was still hesitant, "But … "What if xiaojie finds out …" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Baihe in a cold voice. "Xiao"er, your status is not lower than that woman! Don"t underestimate yourself. If it wasn"t for the fact that you can"t accept it now, I really want to take you back to the palace right now to take good care of you and love you. After experiencing so many years of suffering, your sister loves you! "
Yue"er helplessly furrowed her brows. She extended her hand to receive the jade pendant in Lily"s hand. As she looked at the word "Nuo" on it, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, the lonely her finally had an elder sister and family. She was no longer a child that no one wanted.Yue Er curiously looked at the lily. Upon seeing this, the lily smiled and said, "This is a top-quality ancient jade, it will change color upon contact with water. I also found this jade very amusing, so I ordered someone to make two, one for you and one for elder sister."
"Yes, thank you …" "Elder sister."
Hearing Yue"er call her elder sister, Lily felt her heart warm. She hugged Yue"er tightly and whispered in her ear, "Be more careful in the future. If you have any difficulties, you must contact your elder sister in time." In a while, get Qiu Xiang to tell you the way to contact your elder sister, and also, Qiu Xiang will protect you from the shadows. "
"Un, I understand." "Elder sister, I"ll go back first. If Miss Xiang"er can"t find me later, she"ll definitely be worried."
Lily smiled, "Go, remember not to tell anyone that I came here, nor about our relationship. I am afraid that you will be in danger. After all, in this palace, I have built many enemies. Do you understand? "Yue Er nodded, as if she understood something. As long as she pretended that nothing had happened, everything would be fine.
After leaving the private room, Yue Er directly walked towards the room they had booked. Lily retracted her gaze, and the smile on her face instantly became indifferent. Qiu Xiang looked at the lily and asked,
"Empress, Second Miss is very simple and kind. I"m afraid that it will be difficult to use her to deal with Mo Xie and Helian Yi."
