Ten Again to Fight against Her Fate

"Miss!" A servant girl came forward respectfully and replied, "The old lady has sent word that an important guest has arrived. The banquet has been arranged for you to accompany Miss Yang to the guest courtyard."

"I know." "Yes," Miss Xue replied. She obviously knew about it. In Saibei, the only people who could be called important guests were the princesses and kings of Qi from far away in the capital!

"Little sister, let's go." Big Miss Xue regained her proper smile. I touched the purse tied to my waist. Previously, when I heard Xue Dalang speak about this big sister of mine, I was filled with praise.

Two ordinary carriages stopped at the boundary between the inner chamber and the outer courtyard. Miss Xue and I got on the carriage, while the maidservants beside Lu Ping and Miss Xue got on the carriage. The servants got on two separate carriages at the back, which were slowly moving along with the grinding sound of the axles.

"This little sister of mine has always grown up in front of Grandmother. She's the one who understands etiquette the most and knows when to advance or retreat the most." Xue Dalang's compliment to Miss Xue echoed in my ears. Xue Lang, oh Xue Lang, you don't know anyone! No wonder you can't protect us. This sister of yours is indeed pure and exquisite, but she is not as upright and kind as you think.

"Sister Xue Er, don't you know why you pushed me into the water?" I closed my eyes and rested my head against the brocade mat at the back. The Xue family was known as the art of poetry and poetry, but they did not miss a single detail of enjoyment. The seemingly ordinary carriage had an exquisite design, from the seat cushion to the tea set.

"What did little sister say?" Miss Xue bit her lips, the handkerchief in her hand twisted into a knot. "I don't know!"

"Elder sister, do you really not understand?" I looked at Miss Xue with a faint smile.

Eldest Miss Xue had a pair of bare hands. Her nails were trimmed to a round and smooth point, revealing a faint pink hue. Everything matched the image of a virtuous and virtuous lady. At this moment, her beautiful hands were tightly gripping the handkerchief, and her fingertips were slightly pale.

"Was it ordered by Old Lady Xue?" I gently shook the bracelet on my hand. The gem on top of the bracelet reflected a dazzling light that pierced Miss Xue's eyes.

Big Miss Xue didn't seem to care about the dazzling light as she used her anxious gaze to search my face. As I fiddled with the bracelet, the gemstones on it flashed with various colors of light. I chuckled.

"How does sister know?" Miss Xue couldn't get any useful information from my expression, so she lowered her eyes.

"Although Second Miss follows Eldest Miss as a role model, she has also learned Eldest Miss's heart of stone." I gave Miss Xue a mischievous smile.

"My second sister showed an apologetic expression on the shore." Eldest Miss Xue used a statement. It was obvious that she was a smart person.

"Second Miss still lacks some experience. Maybe when you get married, there will be more chances." The ladies plotted meticulously for the sake of a good marriage. It was unknown which family this Miss Xue had in mind.

"Sister's outfit is worth quite a bit …" Miss Xue put away her usual social smile, such a cunning smile making her look exceptionally radiant. "Originally, Grandmother prepared it for me, but Grandmother prepared it for me …" I let out a small smile. It seemed that I had stolen someone's love, and the Xue family had already started preparing the marriage for Miss Xue.

"But now Grandmother has given it to my sister." Big Miss Xue looked at me meaningfully. In other words, she confirmed my guess that it was really Old Lady Xue's intention to push me into the water.

"Elder sister is a straightforward person." I praised him.

The corner of Miss Xue's mouth lifted. She returned to the gentle, humble Miss Xue. "Thank you, sister, for your compassion." I warmly held Miss Xue's hand. Miss Xue, supported by her wife, got out of the car and stood by the side of the car, waiting for me. When I got out of the car, through the bright sunlight, I saw that Miss Xue's white face was neither smiling nor angry, but had a pair of dark, deep eyes.

Each person carried a palanquin. Green Pingping followed the palanquin and entered the Xue Clan's courtyard, escorted by a group of servants. Taking the side door and passing through a lot of trees, the Xue Clan's garden was quite unique. It was built in the middle of a forest, and it took about the time it took to make a cup of tea to get to the inner chamber.

After getting off the palanquin, a group of well-dressed servants came forward to assist her. Miss Xue took my hand and entered the main house, escorted by the servants.

At the center of the door, there was a painting that hung in the air, with Li Bin's name written on it. There were more than ten large seals on it. There was a pair of rosewood chairs with a white Plum Blossom bottle in the middle. Inside the bottle was a red Plum Blossom that was half-open. The floor was covered in smooth floor tiles. There were all sorts of birthday presents, glazed screens, and gold and silver utensils. There was a small hill piled up to the ceiling. Big Miss Xue looked at the gift and the smile on her face rose slightly. She brought me into the side hall with light footsteps.

The side hall of the Xue family was unimaginably wide. The ladies sat on chairs, drinking tea, the young ladies sat or stood behind their mothers, and Miss Xue and Miss Xue were busy serving tea and snacks to the young ladies. When Miss Xue looked up and saw me enter, she shrank her gaze and stared at her toes.

When I looked around, everyone's expression was reflected in my eyes. Lady Xue sat in the middle seat, smiling when she saw my expression relax slightly. Mrs. Xue, who was standing next to her, looked more relaxed and pleased, and Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting next to me, lowered her head and drank her tea without even looking at me. Ms. Zhang, who was sitting next to me, was glaring at me, unable to hide her anger. This expression looked as weird as it could possibly be. The third wife was also slightly disappointed. In the blink of an eye, her smile was replaced by a smile. She still had the appearance of a rich family's young mistress.

Miss Xue, who I saw, seemed to have also noticed it. She laughed at herself.

"Grandmother!" Miss Xue led me quickly to the front of Old Lady Xue, who gave me a benevolent smile.
