Yu Wan could not be bothered with such an arrogant fool. She turned around and left the small garden.
“Sis…” Xiao Ziyue wanted to ask her to stay.
“Second Sister!” Xiao Zilin interrupted her in time. She glared at Yu Wan’s back unhappily and said, “Didn’t you see her gaze just now? She doesn’t want to talk to us! She looks down on us!”
“She doesn’t want to talk to you!” Xiao Ziyue said angrily.
Although Xiao Ziyue always looked gentle and pleasant, she was still the daughter of the first wife. When she was forced into a corner, she would occasionally have a temper.
!!
Xiao Zilin said with an aggrieved expression, “Second Sister, you’re fierce to me!”
Xiao Ziyue said seriously, “You’re in the wrong to begin with! She’s Young Master Yan’s wife. Speaking in a logical sense, you should address her as Mrs. Yan. Speaking in the family sense, you have to call her sister-in-law. Her status is above yours, but look at how you treat her. It’s already generous of her not to deal with you on the spot!”
This second sister liked to put on the airs of a legitimate daughter, looking like she was the most sensible person in the world. Xiao Zilin rolled her eyes in her heart, but she did not dare to show it on her face. After all, Xiao Ziyue’s mother was the eldest madam of the Xiao Manor. She and her mother still had to live according to that woman’s mood.
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s my fault. Second Sister, just forgive me once.” Xiao Zilin hugged Xiao Ziyue’s arm and put on a smile.
Xiao Ziyue sighed. “After this commotion, Sister-in-law definitely doesn’t want to talk to me anymore.”
Xiao Zilin snorted. What was there to talk about with that kind of woman? She had heard that she was a wild girl from the countryside who had relied on sleeping with Young Master Yan to marry into the Young Master Manor.
No wonder she would s.n.a.t.c.h her clothes. Country b.u.mpkins were unpresentable!
“Let’s go.” Xiao Ziyue frowned and looked at Xiao Zilin. She was unhappy that she had angered Yu Wan and her tone was a little cold.
Xiao Zilin curled her lips and followed.
The two sisters entered Chunhui Pavilion. Eldest Mrs. Xiao was chatting with a few ladies she was close to. When she saw her daughter come over, she gently held her hand. “Where did you go to play?”
Xiao Ziyue was listless and did not want to speak.
Eldest Mrs. Xiao’s cold gaze landed on her illegitimate daughter. Xiao Zilin trembled and hurriedly lowered her head. She retracted her gaze and gently patted her daughter’s hand. “Your friends are also here. They’re throwing arrows in the backyard. You should go too.”
Xiao Ziyue sighed and left.
Xiao Zilin also followed quickly, but Xiao Zilin clearly felt Eldest Mrs. Xiao’s cold gaze. She knew that Eldest Mrs. Xiao was blaming her again. Why should she take the blame when Xiao Ziyue was unhappy? It was always like this!
Xiao Zilin was furious, but in the end, she did not dare to be angry at her legitimate mother. She only hated Yu Wan even more.
It was all this woman’s fault! Last time, she s.n.a.t.c.hed her clothes. This time, she s.n.a.t.c.hed her biological sister!
Although Xiao Ziyue had a little temper, her relationship with her was not bad. If it wasn’t for that woman, how could her biological sister vent her anger on her?
The more Xiao Zilin thought about it, the angrier she became. She decided to teach Yu Wan a lesson.
Xiao Zilin used the excuse of going to the toilet and brought her two personal maidservants out of the backyard.
When she was strolling in the manor just now, she noticed a peach forest near the small garden. It was filled with delicious peaches. It was probably not good to casually pick Prince Cheng’s peaches, but her goal was not those peaches, but the insects on the peach tree.
She had a small porcelain bottle with candied plums on her. She poured the candied plums out and asked the maidservant to catch a few furry black worms and put them into the porcelain bottle.
She had thought about it. When she found Yu Wan later, she would pour the worms on her. It would be best if she could pour them into her collar. That way, she would definitely make a fool of herself in public.
Xiao Zilin laughed uncontrollably just thinking about that scene. She asked the maidservant to take the porcelain bottle and then led the maidservant to look for Yu Wan.
The place to receive the female guests was Chong’an Hall. The Chunhui Pavilion, Xi Xia Pavilion, Qiu Feng Pavilion, and Dong Xue Pavilion in the hall were all places for the female guests to chat. The banquet was in the side hall. Yu Wan had already taken her seat, but Xiao Ziyue pulled her out halfway.
Xiao Ziyue was here to ask her to throw the arrows.
She could have just sent a maidservant for such a matter, but Xiao Ziyue came personally. It was enough to show her sincerity.
This girl was really persistent.
Yu Wan asked, “Is there a bet?”
“Yes, yes!” Xiao Ziyue nodded vigorously.
Yu Wan smiled. “Then you have to cover your pockets tightly.”
The two of them chatted as they walked through the garden. Xiao Zilin looked at the two of them who were chatting and laughing and frowned enviously. Why was her sister getting involved with this woman again after not seeing her for a while?
