Chapter 725 - 083 White Lotus Loser_2
What was she thinking? Maybe he didn’t bring anything back at all, and simply bought something at the roadside to falsely claim it was from Zhuma Town? Only a fool like Su Qiuyu would truly believe his words.
The other young ladies’ minds spun with thoughts, reveling in Schadenfreude, surely this is a case of sour grapes, isn’t it?
Su Qiuyu rolled her eyes; how could this sister of Yao Hanai be so foolish? No wonder they were not born from the same mother, the daughter of a concubine just can’t hold a candle to the legitimate ones!
Yao Hanai’s lips twitched slightly as she softly said to her sister, "Young Master Zheng comes from a noble lineage, how could he behave like those frivolous men? Zhilan, don’t talk nonsense."
Yao Zhilan bit her lip and fell silent, not speaking further. Although she and her sister didn’t share the same mother, they had always had a great relationship. In her eyes, her sister’s words were always right.
"Exactly," Su Qiuyu, although somewhat irritated by Yao Zhilan also calling Xia Zheng "Brother Zheng," saw Yao Hanai tactfully correcting her younger sister and thus held her peace.
Yan Ruchun silently glared at them. It’s one thing for Su Qiuyu, her aunt was the Empress, but what about Yao Hanai? Her father was just The Grand Scholar; what was there to be proud of? Acting every day like she was above the mundane world, did she really think herself a fairy?
"Oh, Miss Yao, long time no see! I’ve heard that you’ve topped the female academy’s examinations again this year!"
People often envy or even become jealous of things they can’t have or heights they can’t reach. None of the young ladies present dared to challenge Yao Hanai, who was skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Fortunately, Yao Hanai always kept a low profile, so the hostility towards her was quite minimal.
Yao Zhilan, however, was not the type to keep a low profile, her younger age making her a bit more unrestrained: "Of course, my sister has been personally declared the top talented woman of the Capital city by His Majesty, she is certainly amazing!"
