Cold-faced Empress

"You'll see when you get back!"

As soon as the family member turned around, they saw Fu Siying's smiling face. Her wrist was being pulled up by Luo Qiansu, revealing the jade bracelet bestowed upon her by the Empress Dowager.

The jade bracelet was bright and lustrous, but! It didn't have the pale face of someone who was greatly shocked.

The third wife was alright, though her expression was even more unpleasant, while Fu Fangwei couldn't even suppress her jealousy. However, no matter how jealous and dissatisfied they were, they dared not say anything more.

Fu Siying withdrew her hand slightly shyly from Luo Qiansu's raised hand. Without mentioning the jade bracelet, she simply said, "I suppose my sisters and Miss Hu are of similar temperament, since they speak and act in the same way."

She had only meant to tease Fu Fangrui and the others for criticizing her clothes, just like Hu Lingjing, but as soon as she said it, she noticed Wei Lanling's expression suddenly change, and she stared at her in horror.

Fu Siying frowned. Wasn't Wei Lanling's reaction rather strange?

Whether you dislike it, resent it, or disdain it, why do you look like you've been caught doing something wrong?

Those around understood the meaning behind Fu Siying's words and chuckled in agreement. The family members and Wei Lanling quickly realized from the teasing that Fu Siying had said such a thing, and felt increasingly ashamed.

Wei Lanling's expression softened and returned to normal, but she seemed frightened and didn't dare to look up at Fu Siying again.

When Madam Li found Yunzhi returning, she quickly went forward to greet her family members. After Yunzhi greeted Madam Fu and her sisters, she happily returned to Fu Siying's side.

"Sis, hehehehehe."

Before Fu Siying could figure out Wei Lanling's strange reaction, she saw Yunzhi giggling like a silly girl and asked suspiciously, "What are you giggling about?"

Yunzhi's cheeks were flushed, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. After deliberately shooing Rong Chen away, she pulled Fu Siying to a place where no one could hear her and whispered, "I think I've met someone I like!!"

Fu Siying was startled: "Someone you like?" She had no idea that Yunzhi had someone she liked!

"Who?!"

"I don't know," Yunzhi said shyly, wringing her handkerchief and lowering her head. "It was a young gentleman I met when I got lost. He was handsome, eloquent, and exceptionally gentle and kind..."

Fu Siying immediately interrupted Yunzhi's various praises: "Are you saying that you just met a man and fell in love with him at first sight?"

"Yes! He's completely different from other men. He seems to radiate light, and my eyes lit up instantly!"

Yunzhi was overjoyed. She didn't notice the odd tone in Fu Siying's voice and continued to describe her feelings about meeting her sweetheart as vividly as possible, hoping her sister could share in her happiness. Of course, her most important wish was to ask her sister to help her find that young man.

"Sister, could you ask him for me later? He has sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and there's a certain air about him. He's wearing a beige gentleman's robe, embroidered with..."

"Shut up!" Fu Siying suddenly interrupted Yunzhi's recollection with harsh words, "Love at first sight is the most absurd thing in the world! You don't know his character, you don't know his background, you don't know his ambitions, you don't know anything, so how can you say you like him?"

Yunzhi was taken aback by the scolding: "Sister..."

Even if you think you understand later, you've only fallen into the trap of using love at first sight as a smokescreen. You'll be deceived by the beauty of that first meeting for your entire life, and the only ending will be an abyss!
