Chapter 874: Old Arms and Legs, Can’t Stand the Tossing
Xuexue in front of me was so stunning that even Situtu Qinger, the Second Miss of the General’s Mansion who had always lived in the Capital, paled in comparison at this moment.
The Fourth Prince was so captivated that he lost his wits.
It was true, there wasn’t a trace of countrified air about Xuexue now, she seemed even more noble than the daughters of grand families.
Situ Qinger bit her teeth with hatred at her side; ever since this little cheap person appeared, the Fourth Prince hadn’t bothered to glance at her again.
Old Madam was quite pleased with Xuexue’s performance; this granddaughter still had her merits.
"Xuexue, come, sit here next to grandmother," she said.
"Thank you, grandmother," Xuexue said with a smile, lifting her skirts slightly with both hands as she walked over.
It wasn’t until Xuexue had sat down that the Fourth Prince regained his senses; he pretended to cough a few times before he spoke: "Today, I am here to invite Miss Situ to an autumn outing in a few days. Many renowned young ladies and gentlemen from the Capital will attend. I wonder if Miss Situ would grace us with her presence?"
"Autumn outing?"
Xuexue was startled. In her previous life, it was precisely on the day of the autumn outing that she was tricked by Situ Qinger, resulting in a fall from her horse and lying in bed for a full month, which later caused lingering aftereffects—her legs would ache on rainy days.
