Chapter 887: The Spoiled Miss of the Wealthy Family
Situ Qinger glowered at Xuexue, who was dressed in white and pure as snow, wishing she could tear off her beautiful exterior.
Ever since Xuexue returned to the General’s Mansion, everything Qinger did seemed to be suppressed by her, driving Qinger to the brink of madness.
Xuexue, carrying herself with the airs of the Eldest Legitimate Daughter, slowly smiled and said, "Second sister, do you see any problem with the outfit I’m wearing?"
"Yes, it’s too shabby!" Although internally shaken by Xuexue’s beauty, Situ Qinger wouldn’t admit it out loud.
"There’s nothing I can do; it’s my unfortunate fate. Having grown up amongst commoners, I’m used to being frugal and wearing whatever I have. The Fourth Prince, having been empathetic to the common people since childhood, surely won’t mind."
For the sake of securing his position as heir, the Fourth Prince had been schooled by the Empress from a young age to cultivate a good reputation in public, particularly before the commoners, which would make ascending to the Crown Prince’s throne in the future much easier.
"Hmph!"
When Xuexue mentioned the Fourth Prince’s empathy for the common people, Situ Qinger dared not interject—it was a matter touching on the Fourth Prince’s reputation. What if she spoke poorly and displeased the Fourth Prince? Hence, she sulkily fell silent.
