Chapter 500 Peerless Under the Heavens (12)

Miss Su of the Su Family appeared delicate and frail, a fragile Xi Shi, evoking nothing but pity with her demeanor and lacking any hint of willfulness or arrogance.

"Could it be that the rumors were mistaken...."

Su Qingqing clenched her teeth, seething with resentment: "Such pretense."

Just yesterday, her elder sister had proudly pilfered a batch of expensive spices from their mother's hand, not at all resembling this lifeless version of herself.

Among Su Qingqing's close friends, a simple-minded one turned her head to ask directly, "Qingqing, could it be a misunderstanding? I find your elder sister doesn't quite match what people say about her...."

Su Qingqing's face couldn't help but twist for a moment, though she quickly regained composure, her forced smile was far from her usual expression.

Some of the young ladies present couldn't help but show a thoughtful look, giving an awkward laugh before stepping aside—they had obviously gleaned some deeper meaning.
