Chapter 59: Family Banquet - Getting Blamed for Immorality
With Lady Huang handled, Xing noticed WanRou who had started showing effects of the drug. So Xing, magnanimous as she is decided to provoke her more.
Xing helped eagerly in replacing Shengli’s bent silver chopsticks. She then helped him wipe the imaginary dirt on his mouth with her kerchief, gave flirty looks and more. Shengli indulged her and even kept her kerchief in his pocket knowing she was planning something and Rijun had an indifferent attitude. AoTian was surprised by her behaviour since she was never this brazen while sober in front of him before and wondered what made her act this way in front of the entire family.
Xing’s efforts came to fruition as she could see WanRou in discomfort. Her heart rate accelerated and she had sweat beads on her forehead. Still she looked at Xing scornfully.
MINGXIA! How could that slut be fine when I feel like tearing off my clothes and jump in a cold river? She must be a fox demon! WanRou wondered and her eyes emitted a dark aura. Then she thought of saying some excuse and leave the hall before her condition worsened.
Xing knew she would do something like make her escape, so she acted first. She stood up from her seat and elegantly walked towards RuYang, the only grandchild of the Huang family.
The broad waistband in her dress accentuated her curves and the pearls hanging in her hair made a soft tinkling noise that was pleasant to the ears. Xing had the habit of behaving according to the clothes she wore. Since she was dressed in a complicated way she acted like a sophisticated lady in her demeanour.
"Little RuYang", Xing spoke sweetly and anyone who’d see her would want to dote on her. "You look sleepy. Do you want to take a nap?", she asked softly to the six year old boy who looked really bored in a place filled with adults and wanted to leave. His father beside him looked at her in a contemplating way. Since the little boy never spoke, no one tries to open a conversation with him and some servants even mock him secretly as a fool. So this cousin of his, is she trying to shame him or doing this without knowledge about him?
Xing looked at the boy who looked exactly like his grandfather with his hazel eyes and the brown hair. She also noted her Uncle Feiye and Lord Huang were resembling each other except that Lord Huang had a beard that made him look majestic and he was a bit older. So her brother takes after his biological father, she understood.
Ruyang’s cheeks were chubby and pink and Xing had the urge to pinch it but held back since she was acting the part of a lady. His eyes had the shine of a smart person kind of similar to the Emperor. So why do people think he is a fool?
The little boy looked at Xing, gave a heavenly smile, stood up from his seat and walked towards her,
"Big sis!", he spoke hoarsely and coughed a little since he had never talked before when his nanny gave him a cup of hot water which he refused. Xing could see the awe on the eyes of everyone and the nanny’s hands were shaking in excitement.
OK! So he can speak!
