With that thought, Nan Hua lowered her eyes once more.
She didn't want to get involved if possible.
As Empress Dowager Mei had already assumed the status of overseer and didn't have much plan to get involved, the noble ladies only tried to strike conversation with her from time to time. Some unlucky ones were targeted by Empress Dowager Mei as they talked bad about her.
Her lowly background was often brought up and Empress Dowager Mei was using his chance to establish her status.
So what if she used to be a dancer girl?
Right now, she was the one who held the highest position in the entire Fei Yang Kingdom!
"Princess Yue," Shangguan Die greeted. She had a smile on her face as she would never miss the chance to mock the princess whom she had bad relationship with. It was rare for her to see Princess Yue in predicament in the past because this princess had the favor of the Emperor.
There were a lot of people who would treat her very well, making Shangguan Die pissed.
"First Miss Shangguan," Princess Yue greeted back in a cold tone. She was already in bad mood because of her engagement that served as political marriage. Now that she was seeing this annoying woman in front of her, how could she not grew more displeased?
"I have heard of your engagement, Princess Yue, so I would like to congratulate you," Shangguan Die said with smile.
Stab!
Congratulation?
The word seemed to be a stab to Princess Yue's heart. She was staring at Shangguan Die in front of her coldly as she didn't wish to see the other party even for another second. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to tear off the other party's mask.
"Thank you very much for your well wishes, First Miss Shangguan." Princess Yue looked at the young lady in front of her and continued, "I heard that Shangguan Family finally settled on your engagement. I wish you won't be missing your family too much, First Miss Shangguan."
"There's no need for you to worry too much, Your Highness." Shangguan Die laughed lightly.
Even though she knew that Princess Yue was mocking her for being too beautiful and might even cause her family downfall, her happy mood didn't disappear. After all, she was very happy that she would be able to see Princess Yue's miserable end.
Her own marriage was done in a bit of a hurry but Shangguan Die didn't mind in the slightest bit.
It was all right for her.
Nan Hua watched from the side as Shangguan Mi followed her older sister. She looked so inconspicuous that no one would be able to see her if they didn't pay any attention. In fact, she looked a bit pitiful.
However, Nan Hua could see that Shangguan Mi passed by the table where Shangguan Die was located. Her hand moved swiftly.
'With no one to help, you do it yourself, huh?'
She had already guessed that Shangguan Mi wouldn't dare to approach other noble ladies. Since if her older sister heard about it, she would put her guard up around her, Shangguan Mi was already betting when she revealed a bit of her mind to Nan Hua earlier.
Nan Hua's lips curled up to form a sneer as her eyes fluttered slightly. "Grandfather is ill and need me to accompany him. I can't possibly leave him alone, can I?" frёewebηovel.cѳm
