Chapter 835: Chapter 835 Many Well-Brought-Up Young Ladies Competing Fiercely

“Does your young lady seem to have taken a liking to the Fourth Prince?”

Zi Xia turned her head to look at her, and after a long while, she said, “Somewhat.”

Upon hearing this, Xuexue couldn’t help but internally retch. Even if she were to secretly love a pig or a dog, she would never harbor feelings for someone despicable like Zhang Ruixuan.

The lessons from her past life were too profound, the pain of being flayed, the vengeance for her killed daughter, felt as though they happened just yesterday. Deep inside her heart, the bone-piercing pain especially tormented her during the quiet nights and in dreams.

Xuexue remained silent, and Zi Xia asked again, “Miss, did this servant guess correctly?”

“Wrong.”

“Huh?” Zi Xia sounded somewhat disappointed and said, “Miss, why don’t you fancy the Fourth Prince? In terms of birth, appearance, and knowledge, the Fourth Prince is top-notch. In Moli Country, it’s hard to find another such elegantly outstanding man.”

“Is that so?”

“Indeed. Let’s not mention anything else; just the fact that he is the son of the Empress makes many prominent ladies vie for him.”

Xuexue scoffed sarcastically, “That’s because he has the support of the Empress. So, you all think he’s flawless. If the Empress were to fall from power, he might become worthless in your eyes.”

Such rebellious words coming from Xuexue.

Zi Xia was stunned for a moment, “Miss, it’s okay to say such things here, but don’t ever utter them outside. Otherwise, if someone with intentions labels you as a rebel, the General’s Mansion could be in big trouble.”

“Your young lady is not foolish, of course, she understands the consequences.” It was because she knew Zi Xia was utterly loyal that Xuexue opened her heart to speak the truth.

In her past life, Zi Xia was exceedingly loyal to her, even sacrificing her life for her.

Thus, in this life, Xuexue trusted her completely.

Of course, some matters she did not tell her, also for her sake.

“Knock, knock, knock…” The sound of knocking came from outside.

Zi Xia muttered, “Who is it? Knocking so urgently, with no manners at all, really.”

“Stop complaining, go see who it is.”

“Yes.” Zi Xia stepped out.

It wasn’t long before Zi Xia entered hurriedly with Uncle Zhong.

“Miss, the Old Master has commanded me to invite you to the main hall no matter what.”

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s about the Fourth Prince again. He insists on seeing the Miss. The Old Master had no choice but to send me to invite Miss over.” Uncle Zhong looked helpless.

“Did the Fourth Prince say if he specifically needed to see me for something?”

Uncle Zhong thought for a moment, “He didn’t.”

Xuexue stood up, holding the skirt of her dress, “Well then, since the Fourth Prince insists on seeing me, let’s go and meet him to see what he’s up to.”

Uncle Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. It’s good that the Miss is willing to go! He didn’t want to be stuck in the middle, which was an uncomfortable feeling.

In the main hall.

Zhang Ruixuan sat at the head of the room as if it were his own house, with Situ Yongjie sitting by his side.

“Fourth Prince, as a servant lady who selfishly enjoys tea-making, seeing the Fourth Prince today fills my heart with joy, so I came out to show my humble skills. I hope the Fourth Prince won’t laugh at me.”

Today, Situtu Qinger wore a purple dress, her hair styled into a Flowing Cloud Bun and adorned with a sparkling White Jade Hairpin, displaying her slender pale neck. With slight makeup on her fair, rosy skin, she was absolutely stunning.

Zhang Ruixuan couldn’t help but stare in amazement.

Situdu Qinger felt a sense of secret pride in her heart, thinking with her natural beauty and the training received from her mother since childhood, she couldn’t believe she wouldn’t capture the heart of the Fourth Prince.
