Chapter 1416 - 1423: Bestowed Marriage (4)
Wu Xianglian hurriedly said, "Older Sister, actually, your younger sisters have something they want to tell you. Could you have these servants leave us?"
Xiangyun spoke calmly, "Cui Wen and Cui Lu are my confidants, they are very discreet. Moreover, there’s nothing that we sisters have to discuss that outsiders shouldn’t hear."
Hearing this, Wu Xianglian was embarrassed and glanced at Wu Xiangling, the words on the tip of her tongue unable to be spoken, after all, she was still an unmarried woman.
Wu Xiangling, however, was much braver than her. Relying on her beauty and talents, she was certain that in the future she would be more favored than Xiangyun, and might even replace her as the Crown Princess of Qing Luo Kingdom. Therefore, for her own future, she gritted her teeth and thickened her face to say, "Older Sister, actually, about this matter, Second Sister and I are unsure whether to speak, because we fear Older Sister might misunderstand us, or become annoyed with us."
After saying this, she covertly glanced at Xiangyun with an expression wanting to speak but finding it difficult to do so.
Xiangyun sneered softly, knowing they were up to no good, and said, "Since you know this might annoy me, then don’t speak of it. After all, I am known to have a bad temper and can be impulsive. If I can’t control it and lash out at you, it would only harm our sisterly bond."
Unfortunately, Wu Xiangling had long been blinded by power and riches, dreaming of becoming the Crown Princess and future Empress of Qing Luo Kingdom. How could she back down just because of a word from Xiangyun?
Thus, she hesitated for a moment and then said awkwardly: "Originally, I didn’t want to speak, but this matter concerns your future, Older Sister, as well as the future of Second Sister and myself. So, even if Older Sister blames me, I still must speak."
