Chapter 466: Chapter 464: Xue Ji, One Glance Led to a Lifetime Mistake_1
 

“Doudou has always been good-tempered and caring towards her sister since she was young.”

Li Xiu’e’s eyes were filled with warmth and nostalgia for the beautiful times in the past: “When Sister Yu first came to our house, he was the first to say that he liked his little sister.”

“Thank you, Sister Xiu’e.”

Ye Xue’e was moved and held Li Xiu’e’s hand: “Qingluo was well-raised in your home, your way of educating children is better than mine.”

“Look what you’re saying.”

Li Xiu’e smiled in gentle blame: “Young Master Jinyu is both a scholar and a warrior, so knowledgeable and well-mannered; he’s countless times better than the children in our countryside. As his mother, you should be satisfied.”

“Jinyu is good, but The Orb…”

Ye Xue’e’s eyes flashed with the Duchess of Zhen’s doting on her granddaughter and let out a faint sigh.

“The Orb? The child your family sent away?”

Li Xiu’e’s eyes brightened, and she became interested in gossip.

“What happened to that child afterward? Did she go back to her father’s house and have a good life?”

“Sigh.”

Ye Xue’e’s eyes dimmed as she glanced subconsciously at Lin Xiaoyang.

“The Orb has been spoiled by the old lady. She’s arrogant and can’t stand hardship. I heard she’s not living well. Her father is also useless and addicted to gambling. He is almost ruining the family’s assets.”

“We raised her since she was a child. Even though she’s not our own, we cherished her and pampered her for ten years.”

Li Xiu’e sighed, listening to her and said in comfort: “Hearing that she’s not doing well, I feel sad too. I understand the feeling.”

“Sigh.”

Ye Xue’e let out another soft sigh: “I don’t pity her much. She has enjoyed ten years of wealth and glory, which is enough.”

“Moreover, her good-for-nothing father is the one who caused our family to be separated for ten years. I will never sympathize with her.”

“Well, since that’s the case, let’s not think about it anymore.”

Li Xiu’e’s sudden annoyance: “It’s all my fault for being talkative and not holding back, asking about it.”

“It’s alright.”

Ye Xue’e forced a smile through her heartache, her voice soft and gentle: “It’s not good to keep things bottled up; it’s better to talk about them.”

Madam Lin comes from a scholarly background, gentle and delicate, a woman filled with tenderness and warmth.

She is so different from us village women who are used to hard work!

Li Xiu’e looked at Ye Xue’e’s charming smile and envied her for a moment. She then glanced at her own rough fingers and felt a wave of sadness.

At the same time, Lin Xiaoyang’s hand holding the wine cup paused, his eyes dimmed with a flash of guilt.

**

My parents’ relationship is difficult, with too many obstacles to overcome!

Lin Qingluo pretended to laugh and joke with Su Zixuan while secretly listening to the conversation between their mothers.

Lin Xiaoyang’s faint sigh didn’t get past her either.

“Xue Ji is the seventh-ranked assassin in Jianghu. Before meeting Lin Xiaoyang, she was also the most trusted right-hand man of Xue Rufeng, the Master of the Thousand-Mechanism Pavilion.”

Little Kingfisher’s gathered information echoed in her ears: “She has saved Lin Xiaoyang many times, and they share a deep bond.”

“The Empress initially suspected the Duke of Zhen and had planned to kill all legitimate descendants of the Lin Clan.”

“Fortunately, Xue Ji’s rare act of kindness saved his life at the cost of entangling herself in the whirlpool of love. From then on, with a single glance, she was trapped for the rest of her life, unable to escape.”

With just one look, she was trapped for a lifetime, right?

Her clever and cunning eyes flickered, a cold light flashing in the depths.

Some people need to be dealt with soon.

Under the deep night, a petite figure in green clothes quietly stepped out of the Fluttering Snow Residence and walked to a large banyan tree by the Lotus Pond. She looked up at the treetops with a beaming smile, a sweet grin spreading across her face.
