Chapter 25: Hexed: Mental Manipulation
“Su Junqing?” Ye Jiuge could not help but raise a plucked eyebrow. She had not expected to meet the renowned Su Junqing so soon.
“Eldest Miss, do you know the Su Clan’s Eldest Son?” Fifth Concubine asked, feeling uncertain. Since her previous position was so lowly and she’d been holed up in her dilapidated residence with her daughter, she had never met Su Junqing before.
“No, but I have heard about him often!” Ye Jiuge smiled slightly. She told Qiu Mama, “Since Second Sister and the Su Clan’s Eldest Son are so thoughtful, let’s invite them in!”
“Yes.” Qiu Mama bowed. However, in her mind, she felt that it was beneath her to obey Ye Jiuge.
When she hears that a handsome man was visiting, she cannot keep herself together. She really is a lewd woman.
After a while, Ye Shanshan led in a slender man with a handsome face. He was around twenty years old. A golden coronet perched on his head, and he wore a magnificent embroidered white robe. He smiled silently, and his gaze was warm. At first sight, he was unforgettable. Ye Jiuge finally got a slight clue as to why he had been able to pull the wool over Ye Yunzhi’s eyes. Sure enough, Su Junqing was very good-looking.
“Eldest Sister, you are here too. Don’t tell me, you found out that my cousin was coming to visit Fourth Sister, so you came here on purpose to wait for him?” Ye Shanshan smiled cheekily, but her eyes were full of condescension. She was implying mockingly that Ye Jiuge was secretly in love with Su Junqing.
Before Ye Jiuge could reply, Fifth Concubine spoke first, “Second Miss, you really love cracking jokes. Eldest Miss is not a goddess, so how could she have known that you were bringing over the Su Clan’s Eldest Son? We only became aware of the Su Clan’s Eldest Son’s visit after Qiu Mama informed us.”
When Ye Shanshan saw how Fifth Concubine was speaking on Ye Jiuge’s behalf, she itched to lacerate her face. If Fifth Concubine and Ye Jiuge had not joined forces to frame her mother, she would have never been locked up in her residence. However, Ye Shanshan focused on the purpose of her visit and switched her expression into a smile.
