When that time came, she’d only be able to wed an ordinary looking, or even worse, an old lord.
She really didn’t want to try this kind of taste.
“Second Sister, my heart was merely too anxious,” Helian Mei muttered with a softer voice. “I was afraid I’d offended Second Sister somehow.”
Helian Jiao Er knew her sister’s life more than anyone. She held a teacup and drank a mouthful of tea, before replying slowly. “We’re sisters, what’s there to offend. I’m talking to you like this only for your own good. Right now, your martial qi is so-so. Many years have passed without any big breakthroughs. Continuing more or less this way, if you don’t even pass on etiquette, how would any future husband want you.”
“What Second Sister said is right.” Helian Mei responded with her mouth, but her heart was not necessarily happy about it. She’s also no longer a child anymore, and had her own principles. Every word that Helian Jiao Er uttered practically stabbed at her heart.
If Helian Jiao Er’s attitude was a bit better, then forget it, but that kind of pinching disdainful tone really made it difficult for Helian Mei to be cheerful after hearing it. However, she also knew that she couldn’t afford to offend this blood-related sister of hers.
“It’s good that you understand.” Seeing that the other was tamed by her, Helian Jiao Er began to speak of the main matter. “The rumors I asked you to spread, did you spread them?”
Helian Mei nodded her head. “Without exception, everything was done according to Second Sister’s instructions. It’s again because the slut’s luck was good that Grandmaster Zi Zun personally asked for leave on her behalf and even said that she didn’t elope with some man. Instead, she went to Armament City, and seemed as if she intended to take the armament master exam.” Speaking to this point, Helian Mei disdainfully coldly humphed. “Someone like her wanting to take the Armament Master exam is simply asking to be humiliated.”
It would’ve been better if Helian Mei didn’t bring up the things that happened at Armament City. Once she brought up the subject, the malicious thoughts in Helian Jiao Er’s eyes became even more fierce as she gripped her handkerchief and knead it into a lump.
Observing Helian Jiao Er’s expression, Helian Mei couldn’t figure out what had happened and was somewhat at a loss. What’s up again?
“She won’t go far depending on luck.” Helian Jiao Er deeply breathed in one breath and released the handkerchief in her hand. “Did she think that relying on those bootlicking methods, she could play some other tricks? Ridiculous!”
Helian Mei actually agreed with this point. “Second Sister, you’re right. I heard, um, that the troops Third Prince sent out have already withdrawn. It’s obvious that he lost interest in that slut.”
“Third Prince had never been interested in her.” Helian Jiao Er’s voice was cold. “It was merely because he couldn’t stand her methods and wanted to give her a lesson. Now he thinks that it’s too troublesome, so he recalled the troops.”
However this was also good. It saved her from being worried all day long that His Highness would treat that slut favorably…
Helian Mei didn’t see through Helian Jiao Er’s thoughts and only echoed her. “It’s still Second Sister who truly understands Third Prince. However, two days ago, within the academy there’s been continual talk of a fairy like young girl who appeared within the capital. I’ve seen all of the young ladies from influential families within the capital. Don’t know who’s making mischief.”
“It’s merely an unknown village girl.” Helian Jiao Er faced up and blew on her red fingertips. “Covered all over with a destitute and pedantic aura, could that still be a fairy, heh.”
Helian Mei stiffened. “Older Sister has seen her?”
“I’ve met her face to face.” Helian Jiao Er recalled that figure, who seemed familiar, yet she couldn’t think who that person resembled, so she only disdainfully said. “Forget about it. Only the skin was a bit white.”
Once Helian Mei heard that it was only a village girl, she also didn’t continue to ask anything else and changed the subject. “I heard that Second Sister obtained a nice armament? Can I see it?”
“It’s not in my hands yet. Wait until prior to the armament competition, Father will negotiate with the people over there.” As Helian Jiao Er spoke, she again recalled that boss who didn’t know how to appreciate favors. When the time comes for them to meet, she must properly make a show of her strength!
