Chapter 70: They Aren't Fighting! That's Her Silver!

Ah, to have lived as a third sister to this extent is truly a failure. She actually almost ended up being killed by her own husband. Situ Lexuan shrugged, her face plastered with schadenfreude.

Supported by Dieyi and Xiangcao, Yun Qianshuan stepped out of bed. She lowered her head and examined her blue kingfisher-green gauze skirt. Someone had already changed her clothes; the servants must have done it while she was unconscious.

Slipping into a matching blue brocade vest, she saw a maid approaching with a sandalwood comb. Waving her hand, she dismissed her, Just leave it as it is. I have to come back and sleep more in a moment, so there is no need to comb it.

The maid stepped back. A sharp pain thudded from her wound, and seeing her pale complexion, Dongfang Mingxuan's eyes reddened once again. Yun Qianshuan chuckled softly and shook her head, Fourth brother, if you cry any more, you are going to cause a flood here.

Indeed, fourth brother is so good to you that even I am turning green with envy. Situ Lexuan pouted, her tone sour.

Pfft. Yun Qianshuan giggled at the woman's disgruntled expression and teased, After all, I am a woman with a husband. I heard that eldest sister's manor hasn't taken in a single husband yet. Could it be that you suffer from some hidden ailment?

Hearing this, Dongfang Mingxuan also cast a suspicious glance toward Situ Lexuan. Even Dieyi and Xiangcao were giggling aside. The princess was truly too mischievous. This remark put a lot of pressure on Situ Lexuan. Glancing at Dongfang Mingxuan, who looked like a curious child, she let out a disdainful huff, I simply have no need for such things as men.

She actually referred to men as things! So eldest sister was just like all the other women!

Eldest sister, you are simply too hateful. Dongfang Mingxuan's face turned pale. He bit his lip, pushed past Situ Lexuan, and ran out.

Hey, fourth brother! Mingxuan! Damn it, why are you running? Situ Lexuan exasperatedly rubbed her ears. She had said the wrong thing again.

Smiling broadly, Yun Qianshuan leaned over Situ Lexuan's shoulder, Eldest sister, stop putting up a front. I could already tell from that hen-protecting-her-chicks look of yours.

Two red clouds drifted across Situ Lexuan's pretty face, and she turned her head away. Nonsense.

Bringing fourth brother out must have cost a pretty penny, right? Eldest sister is certainly generous with her money. Yun Qianshuan rubbed her chin knowingly, then, supported by Dieyi and Xiangcao, she stepped out of the courtyard. Her cheerful voice drifted in the air, Dieyi, unrequited love is such exhausting work, wouldn't you say?

Indeed, indeed. Dieyi chimed in with a nod, laughing along with the princess. Situ Lexuan thought to herself: These two mistress and servant are truly invincible.

With everyone gone, Situ Lexuan was left behind in the room, tangled and frantic as she wildly scratched at her head. Her previously well-combed hairstyle instantly became a total mess, looking precisely like a bird's nest. Her heart was in a state of infinite panic. Mingxuan must be angry. She shouldn't have said those things just now, but surely she couldn't just admit to having a hidden ailment, could she?

Pui, pui, pui. She didn't have any hidden ailment, did she? Was she supposed to confess that she fancied Mingxuan and that was why she kept delaying taking a husband? No, that would never do! What if Mingxuan got scared and ran away?

While she was still tangled in depression over there, Yun Qianshuan had already been slowly helped by Xiangcao and Dieyi to the scene of the brawl.

The further in they went, the more desolate it looked. Yun Qianshuan took a deep breath and pointed with a trembling finger, Where did the rockery go?

Xiangcao answered truthfully, Replying to the princess, the rockery was destroyed by Young Master Ning.

Yun Qianshuan stroked her chest, telling herself to remain calm, And where did Shangguan Ning's room go?

Xiangcao twitched the corner of her mouth, Replying to the princess, the Ningbo Pavilion was smashed to pieces by Young Master Haoyu's orders.

The autumn wind howled. Standing amidst the ruins, Yun Qianshuan felt a sense of boundlessness—no, not boundlessness, it should be a boundless sea of commoners gazing eagerly at the gossip!

She bit her teeth, trembling as she pointed at a corner of the ruins and the gossip-loving onlookers, Where is the... the wall... over there?

Replying to the princess, the wall was knocked down by Young Master Hongzhe, Xiangcao said, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

Yun Qianshuan almost vomited a mouthful of fresh blood out of sheer anger. Her external injuries were not yet healed, and her internal injuries were acting up again. Damn it, this wasn't a fight; this was a battle burning up her hard-earned silver!
