Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 680

Xue Qian was truly at her wit's end, and disregarding any need for tact, she directly and sharply rebuked him:

"Stop dreaming like that. The harem is not a place you can afford to play around in. Don't even think about entering the Eastern Palace's inner courtyard! We are where we are today entirely thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. They trust me, and I will never betray their trust. If you don't curb your greed, don't say I don't care about sisterly affection!"

Xue Kui was stunned by the scolding, staring at Xue Qian in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes.

She suddenly erupted without restraint.

"What sisterly affection? You have never had any sisterly affection for me! You are now a concubine with a bright future ahead of you, but instead of helping me, you insist on stopping me when I try to seize opportunities for myself! ... I think you just can't stand to see me doing well, you don't want me to be your equal, and you're afraid I'll take away your favor!"

Xue Qian: "......"

She couldn't believe her ears.

How could her beloved younger sister, whom she had cherished for so many years, say such a thing to her?

So that's what Xue Kui really thought of her?

In the past, her status in the palace was indeed higher than Xue Kui's, but that was not because she did not help Xue Kui, but because Xue Kui herself was simply unable to rise up!

For Xue Kui's sake, she even agreed to become an informant in the Seventh Prince's residence, a path that was almost certainly a death sentence. She racked her brains trying to escape, but she still refused to give up on Xue Kui, who was trapped in the palace as a hostage.

She's gone to such lengths, and Xue Kui still thinks she can't stand to see her doing well?

Xue Qian was extremely disappointed and, in a fit of temper, slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"What favor? I've told you countless times that the reason we're living such a comfortable life is because I don't compete for favor. How can I explain it to you? Even if you do get favor, what are you going to share it with? With your mediocre looks and your mediocre brain?"

Xue Kui froze for a moment, then burst into tears.

"I knew it! You've always looked down on me! You think I'm not as pretty or as smart as you! You've never treated me like a real sister!"

She turned and ran out while crying.

Xue Qian stood there, feeling both angry and heartbroken.

He wanted to call out to Xue Kui, but he didn't, letting Xue Kui run away.

Xue Qian slumped back into her chair, rubbing her temples, her head throbbing with pain.

She never imagined that her beloved younger sister, whom she had cherished since childhood, would turn out to be like this!

She risked her life, hoping to finally earn a peaceful future, but now that future is about to be destroyed.

Since Xue Kui has such thoughts, she can no longer stay in the Eastern Palace. Otherwise, she will cause trouble sooner or later, bringing trouble not only to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, but also to the two sisters.

Xue Qian thought about it and went to see the Crown Princess the next day.

He knelt on the ground, feeling deeply ashamed.

"Your Highness, it is all my fault for not disciplining my younger sister properly. I never knew she had such wicked thoughts. I have failed Your Highness's trust and am ashamed beyond measure. Although the year is not yet up, I am no longer ashamed to live in the Eastern Palace, and I am worried that my sister will cause trouble for His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. I beg Your Highness to allow me to take my sister and leave Ancheng!"
