It was unclear whether it was intentional or accidental, but Xuexue's seat was right next to Long Rui.
"Second sister, come sit over here with your big sister." After Xuexue sat down, she looked at Situtu Qinger with a smile brimming with warmth, every bit the Eldest Legitimate Daughter with an air of magnanimity, as if she would never forget to share any benefits with her siblings.
Situtu Qinger, who had been trying to keep a low profile, trembled at the words and cursed inwardly, "This damned country girl, it's one thing for her to court disaster, but why drag me into it?"
"Big sister, Qinger likes sitting with my younger brothers and sisters." Left with no choice, Situtu Qinger, despite her hatred for Xuexue, had to look up and force a smile in front of Long Rui.
"Could it be that Second Miss finds the Prince so ugly she stays far away?"
When Xuexue said this, the entire hall fell silent.
