I was holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with icing sugar on my fingertips, when I saw Su Lingshu holding the arm of the Xuanjian Tiange elder and timidly approaching Murong Jue. "Brother Jue, look at this hosta. Does it look like the one my sister wore last time?" Her voice was so soft that it looked greasy, but the end of her eyes glanced at me, showing off so much that she couldn't even hide it.
I sneered while chewing the pastries and put the porcelain plate on the stone table. The sound alarmed the people around me. "Junior Sister Su is very sharp-eyed, but it's a pity that you have to have a certain temperament when applying your skills - my hosta is inlaid with South China Sea shark beads. You, a glass imitation, dare to fool people here."
Su Lingshu's face turned pale, and her eyes instantly turned red. She tugged on Murong Jue's sleeve and shook it: "Why do you say that, sister? I just think it looks good. There is no other meaning." She shed tears as she said that, as if I had bullied her.
Murong Jue glanced at me with raised eyebrows and said in a frivolous tone: "Palace Master Jiangzhu, are you so cruel to the little girl?" But I clearly saw that his fingertips were slightly curled, and he did not really follow Su Lingshu's wishes.
"Little girl?" I stood up and patted the hem of my clothes, but my dimples showed no trace of a smile, "Who is a little girl who steals other people's things and pretends to be pitiful to gain sympathy?" Before I finished speaking, Su Lingshu suddenly raised his hand to hit me, shouting "Sister slandered me."
Here comes a piece of peach blossom cake: "Zhu'er, don't be so angry, it's not worth beating your sore hand."
I bit into pieces of peach blossom cake, and my heart burst with anger - dare to slander Jiangque Palace? I have no intention of just settling this account. Murong Jue suddenly stood in front of me and said to the Pavilion Master of Xuanjian Tian Pavilion with a half-smile, "Pavilion Master, it was your concubine who made the first move, and Jiangzhu was just self-defense."
