Chapter 904 Unrestrained Speech
Originally, Miss Qian saw Situtu Qinger framing Xuexue, knowing that the sisters were at odds, and actually took it upon herself to side with Xuexue. She recounted the whole story to Xuexue.
For Xuexue, of course it’s better to have more friends than enemies. After all, she had no grievances with Miss Qian in her past life. Since Miss Qian extended an olive branch willingly, why not accept it gladly!
"Miss Situ, what on earth is going on? I simply cannot believe you would do such a thing. That little cheap person, Situtu Qinger, has never been good news. She must have framed you." Miss Qian was very sympathetic to Xuexue, thinking to herself that having such a little cheap person for a sister was truly bad luck for several lifetimes.
Xuexue was both angered and amused. She couldn’t have imagined that Situtu Qinger would stoop to such a tactic to extricate herself. Even funnier was the fact that the excuses were so full of holes, yet the Fourth Prince, of all people, believed them. With his intelligence, even if he became the Crown Prince, he would probably be unfit to hold his position.
"When the incident happened, I had already returned to my courtyard, I wasn’t even at the scene at all. I had no idea about the fight between the sisters. How they managed to drag me into this and made me out to be the malicious mastermind is beyond me." Xuexue was incredulous. She was puzzled why as soon as she came in, everyone looked at her with strange eyes. Turns out, after all this time, they regarded her as the malicious Eldest Legitimate Daughter who ruined her sister’s reputation.
"I knew it had to be the little cheap person’s doing. Miss, you are truly pitiable, having to take the fall for her. If I were you, I definitely wouldn’t be able to swallow this insult." Miss Qian was visibly indignant.
Seeing the contemptuous glances all around her, Xuexue also felt helpless. She had only taken a walk outside and upon her return, she acquired the accusation of framing her sister. As the saying goes, when they want to condemn someone, they’ll never lack for a pretext.
