Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Hanxue wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction. The peacocks were ugly and smelled bad. They were not as cute as her little fox. With this in mind, she even touched the little fox on her shoulder. The little fox cooperatively rubbed its little master’s palm.
“Everyone’s fashion taste is different. Let’s not judge them,” Xu Qing replied.
Those who could attend the banquet organized by the Eldest Princess were all from wealthy families. No matter how low their status was, they could still be associated with some wealthy families. If they could obtain the Eldest Princess’ praise at the banquet, it would be a great honor. Naturally, they had to dress up well.
Qiao Yanqi went to look for her sisters and slandered Xu Qing with her friends… Her voice wasn’t low at all. She wanted everyone to know how dissatisfied she was with Xu Qing.
Xun Fen followed beside Xu Qing with a cold gaze. “Miss, I’ll teach them a lesson!” All these so-called rich young ladies only had wealthy family backgrounds. How were they worthy of respect? All of them were acting so high and mighty. They should take a look in the mirror!
“This meeting won’t make a difference.” Xu Qing knew that the banquet organized by the Eldest Princess was targeted at her. There would definitely be many people who wanted to make things difficult for her later. Of course, this meeting wouldn’t make a difference! If she resolved it in one go, it would save her some trouble!
Xun Fen and Teng Nian naturally believed in Xu Qing, because Xu Qing had never disappointed them!
Xu Hanxue wouldn’t let go of those people who criticized her mother with vicious words. She threw itchy powder at that group of people while two of her brothers covered for her. Xu Hanxue did it very smoothly and covered her mouth as she ran behind Xu Qing. Xu Qing only smiled dotingly and didn’t say anything.
Xu Qing was left to fend for herself by Qiao Yanqi.
Qiao Yanqi didn’t wait for her at all, so when Xu Qing tried to enter again, she was stopped outside the door.
“I’m sorry, please show your invitation,” the security guard at the door said expressionlessly.
Before she could speak, she heard someone mock at the side, “You want to enter the Eldest Princess’s residence without an invitation? Do you think just anyone can enter the Eldest Princess’s residence? Why don’t you take a look at yourself? You really don’t know your place!”
Xu Qing was about to ask Teng Nian to take the invitation out, but then she paused and turned to look at the woman who spoke.
That person was wearing a floor-length peony dress and eye-catching emerald jewelry. Coupled with her fiery red lips, she was dressed lavishly. However, her every move was flirtatious and seductive! According to the etiquette of the current aristocratic families, she didn’t seem like an heiress at all!
This person was Mu Weiqing’s sister, Mu Xin. Because Mu Weiqing was no longer marriage material, of course the Mu family had to nurture a new daughter as a marriage candidate. However, she was an illegitimate daughter and hadn’t been properly raised. Her mother was the top hostess of a former club, so she naturally didn’t learn the etiquette of aristocratic families. Instead, she learned how to seduce men.
As for Mu Weiqing, after those scandals were exposed, she was abandoned by the Mu family and chased out. A girl who had been abandoned by her family, coupled with the fact that she had offended many people in the past, naturally wouldn’t have an easy time without the protection of her family. Rumor had it that she had been sold to a shady club by a girl she had offended in the past. Xu Qing didn’t know what happened after that…
Xu Qing was dressed simply today, but in fact, the material of this dress was precious lotus brocade. Lotus brocade fabric could only make handmade clothing. It was taken from the lotus root. To make a set of clothes, there had to be at least a hundred acres of lotus flowers. The fabric was warm in winter and cool in summer. It was very tough and extremely difficult to cut. It was also Beautiful Closet’ latest style. Deng Chengxi had personally made this for Xu Qing.
Among this group of women, Xu Qing was indeed not the most beautiful one. In fact, she was only average. However, she had a refreshing and innocent aura.
“Xun Fen, I remember that you have a dress like this lady’s, right?” Xu Qing suddenly looked at Xun Fen and asked.
Xun Fen immediately said with disdain, “Miss, how can I have such a tacky dress? It’s just that they’re all peony-colored. However, I remember that a few women in Jiangnan Water Village wear such dresses.”
Who didn’t know what kind of place Jiangnan Water Village was? The women there were willing to do anything for money.
Mu Xin was so angry that her expression changed. This group of people would definitely remember her background now! She immediately pointed at Xu Qing and scolded, “You! You country bumpkin, you’re courting death!”
Xu Qing’s expression changed. She hated being pointed at the most.
