Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again
Chapter 41 Old Enemy
Meeting everyone's gaze, Xu Xingyin pretended to be calm, adjusted her hairpin, and nodded and smiled at everyone.
She thought she was a very dignified lady from a noble family, but the moment she saw the person walking in through the moon-shaped door, she almost couldn't hold back her smile.
It is naturally a wonderful thing to meet a close friend after a long separation.
But if you meet an old enemy, that would really test one's acting skills.
Look, that lilac figure walking over, isn’t it Xu Xingyin’s old enemy - Wang Yuya?
Wang Yuya was wearing a lilac-colored pleated phoenix-tail skirt with long sleeves, a pair of eight-treasure silk hairpins in her bun, and a mung bean-sized amethyst hanging on her forehead.
If you just look at her face, to be fair, Wang Yuya is not bad looking.
She has a pair of watery grape-shaped eyes that make people love her at first sight, a straight and small nose, and her facial features make her a beauty.
But there is always a hint of harshness in his expression, which inevitably makes the meaning a little lacking.
Wang Yuya's father was originally the director of the Jiangning Linheng Office. Because he had a lot of experience in garden construction, he was later transferred to the Ministry of Works.
As for what official position his father holds now, Xu Xingyin has no idea.
The entanglement between Xu Xingyin and Wang Yuya cannot be explained in just a few words.
In short, the two of them have not gotten along since childhood. Born in the military of the Zhennan General's Mansion, Wang Yuya was used to scolding Xu Xingyin as a brave but foolish warrior.
Wang's father came from the Lin Heng Office, which was in charge of the gardens and flowers in the Jiangnan area. Xu Xingyin scolded the Wang family for being a mere tree planter and daring to shout in front of her.
Xu Xingyin had the Zhennan General's Mansion behind him, so naturally he always had an advantage over Wang Yuya. So even though they had quarreled a lot since they were young, Wang Yuya had never gotten the upper hand.
Therefore, after Wang Yuya followed his father to the capital, he spread rumors that Xu Xingyin was talentless and immoral.
Even the noble ladies in the capital, thousands of miles away from Jiangnan, knew of Xu Xingyin's notoriety.
It was obvious that Wang Yuya also saw Xu Xingyin.
Then, he rushed towards Xu Xingyin without any hesitation with the group of people, and the smile on his face was somewhat provocative.
Well, Xu Xingyin now finally understood why Shen Danhe dragged him away just now. It must be because she didn't want him to run into Wang Yuya, right?
Are you kidding? Would Xu Xingyin be afraid of Wang Yuya?
As he was thinking this, Wang Yuya had already walked up to him, covering her lips with a handkerchief, her big eyes full of surprise.
"I didn't expect to meet Miss Xu Qi here. I haven't seen her for many years. She has become more beautiful than ever."
As soon as Wang Yuya said this, the attention that had been scattered was focused on Xu Xingyin again.
It turns out that this is Xu Xingyin, the ignorant, domineering and arrogant daughter of Duke Xu’s Mansion!
She doesn't seem to have the bad taste and ignorance as the rumors say. I don't know if the rumors are wrong, or if this Miss Xu is good at hiding her true self?
Xu Xingyin ignored those gazes and smiled.
"I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't realize that Miss Wang and I have become so close that we can call each other sisters."
Xu Xingyin's words were quite vicious, directly accusing Wang Yuya of making random connections.
Even though Wang Yuya had already experienced Xu Xingyin's sharp tongue, she still smiled awkwardly when she heard this.
"Please don't blame me, Miss Xu Qi. I was just excited and lost my manners. For so many years, I have always been concerned about whether Miss Xu Qi is well."
"Don't worry, Miss Wang. I'm fine. But Miss Wang is still the same as always..."
As Xu Xingyin spoke, he deliberately reached out to adjust the hairpin inlaid with South China pearls on his temples, and then smiled faintly.
"It's simple."
His eyes fell on the longan-sized South Pearl between Xu Xingyin's temples. Wang Yuya was really angry and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Of course she is not as good as Miss Xu Qi."
Seeing Wang Yuya's face full of bullying, Xu Xingyin was amused. He leaned close to her ear and whispered something with a smile, then pulled Shen Danhe to the pavilion.
She said, "Looking at your bitter and resentful expression, I guess you must have had a hard time. If that's the case, then I'm relieved."
As soon as Xu Xingyin left, all the ladies rushed forward and surrounded Wang Yuya, asking her with concern what Xu Xingyin had just said to her.
Wang Yuya twisted a handkerchief to press the corners of her eyes, then shook her head at everyone, looking as if she wanted to keep the peace.
"Please don't ask any more questions, sisters. Miss Xu Qi just said a few kind words to me!"
What kind of sweet words can make people cry?
Naturally, everyone did not believe it, and they became even more contemptuous of this daughter of the Duke's Mansion who had just returned to the capital and caused trouble.
I thought he was such a powerful guy, but he's just a bully!
Friendships between women are often built through gossip and rumors.
Just within an hour, the news that the seventh daughter of Duke Xu's mansion had scolded Miss Wang so harshly that she cried spread throughout the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
However, Xu Xingyin didn't know so much. She just listened attentively to what Shen Danhe told her about Wang Yuya's situation in the capital.
Originally Xu Xingyin was a little surprised. In the past, when he and Wang Yuya had conflicts, Shen Danhe would more or less say a few words to help her. But today, she didn't say a word.
Upon asking, I found out that Shen Danhe's husband Qian Yinghuan now works in the Ministry of Works. Unfortunately, Wang Yuya's father was transferred to the Ministry of Works.
In other words, Wang's father is Qian Yinghuan's boss, so Shen Danhe naturally dared not offend Wang Yuya again.
As Shen Danhe spoke, she blamed herself for not being able to help Xu Xingyin.
Xu Xingyin naturally understood Shen Danhe and comforted her with a smile.
"Is it possible that I can't deal with him, just a tree planter?"
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the pavilion.
Before Xu Xingyin entered, he saw Tian Tian, who was wearing a light silk dress with narrow sleeves and purple skirt, waving at him with all her might.
Xu Xingyin smiled and pulled Shen Danhe over, introduced the two to each other, and then spoke half-jokingly.
"Our Princess Yongyi is finally free."
Tian Tian pouted her lips, and the tassels on her temples swayed violently when she turned her head.
"Don't mention it. It makes me feel depressed."
It was rare to see Tian Tian dressed like this, so Xu Xingyin couldn't help but praise her.
"Yongyi is so beautiful today."
Tian Tian adjusted the hairpin on her head uncomfortably and complained softly to Xu Xingyin.
"It's very in the way. A hair crown is more comfortable."
"How can the Grand Princess allow you to dress like that for an occasion like this?"
Tian Tian curled her lips and stopped arguing. She was about to ask Xu Xingyin if there had been any progress in the case of Qionghua's death when she saw a water-green figure coming gracefully. As soon as she entered the pavilion, she caused a commotion.
Shen Danhe turned her head and quickly poked Xu Xingyin's arm.
"Hey, this is Yang Mingxue."
