“As expected of a dog following its master. Tsk, tsk. Seeing is believing.” The beauty in purple sitting beside Yan Jiao elegantly took a sip of tea and said slowly, “Zhu Xue, you’ve really shown me something good,”

“Elder sister was wronged just now and you didn’t help her. Now you’re sitting here and saying such things. What do you mean?” Zhu Xue, who was lying in Shi Ya’s arms and pretending to cry, heard the beauty in purple and was afraid that she would get involved in this matter, so she hurriedly stopped her.

“Oh? Did you mean I can’t speak?” The lady in purple had only wanted to watch the show, but Zhu Xue’s words made her angry. “Zhu Xue, you have to understand whose house this is. A maidservant that was sent by a lower prince to please us, and she’s pretending to be the mistress of the house?”

“No, little sister Meng Ying, you know that’s not what I meant.” Seeing that Meng Ying was a little angry, Zhu Xue, who had wanted to take the opportunity to complain to the King, was frightened by Meng Ying’s words, so she hurriedly explained.

Although she always relied on the King’s favor and did some arrogant and domineering things, she still knew that there were some people she could not provoke.

In the huge Snake Palace, Meng Ying was one of the people she could not afford to offend.

The king was usually busy with work and was not often in the Snake Palace.

However, Meng Ying was different. She was the King’s sister and spent most of her time in the palace.

While Zhu Xue and Meng Ying were talking, Meng Ran, who did not want to get involved in their fight, gave Shi Ya a look and asked her to come back.

The maidservant Ning Lu, who had long been dissatisfied with Shi Ya for snatching Zhu Xue away from her, hurriedly took the opportunity to run to the spot where Shi Ya had been. Shi Ya smiled at Ning Lu smugly.

Hmph, she was Zhu Xue’s maidservant, what was an outsider doing here!

“I only remember that I have one biological brother. When did I gain an elder sister?” Meng Ying said coldly.

“Sister…” Zhu Xue was so anxious that she did not know what to say.

The man who was stopped by Zhu Xue initially thought that something big had happened, but it turned out to be a trivial matter between women. He said impatiently, “That’s enough, Zhu Xue,”

He had kept Zhu Xue around for the past few years because he felt that she was an interesting person. She used to bring some fun to his dull life in the Snake Palace, but it was different now. He had brought that person back from the human world.

The man looked at Yan Jiao’s pure and innocent appearance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

This small detail did not go unnoticed by Meng Ying.

Since when did her brother care so much about taking care of women? What’s so special about this woman called Yan Jiao?

Was it because she was stupid?

Although she would not have tolerated Zhu Xue’s attack on this human, but since the foolish human had started it this time.

“Brother, when did you come back? Are you done with your business?” Meng Ying stood up from her seat and walked toward her brother with a smile.

“I’m done. Here, the little thing you wanted.” Yhe man took out a shiny object from his storage bag. Before Yan Jiao could see it clearly, Meng Ying had already stored it away.

“Thank you, brother.” Meng Ying took the object and ignored the man. She seemed to be immersed in her own world, which made the man smile helplessly and indulgently.

Then, his gaze fell on Yan Jiao. “Woman, how does it feel to be in my palace? ” As the man spoke, his body inched closer and closer to Yan Jiao, so close that Yan Jiao could count the number of eyelashes on his eyes.

Yan Jiao felt a little uncomfortable, and her face turned red. “Stay, stay away from me… ”

As soon as she said this, the other women at the table instantly became agitated. They all looked at Yan Jiao with gritted teeth.

If resentment could be crystalized into physical form, Yan Jiao’s heart would have been pierced by thousands of arrows.

Zhu Xue, who had been ignored by the King, was supported by Ning Lu. She stood in place and watched the King and Yan Jiao’s interaction. She unconsciously bit her lower lip, leaving deep teeth marks on her red lips. Soon, a few traces of blood flowed out.

“Master, master!” Seeing Zhu Xue like this, her maidservant Ning Lu gently pushed her.
