Chapter 6 Vicious Fake Gold 5
"Miss, isn't it inappropriate to send these over?"
Fuqin asked with some hesitation. She was naturally on Qingyu's side, so she was worried that Qingyu's actions would anger Ji Qingwei. If the latter complained to the other members of the Ji family, Qingyu would be in the wrong.
Who would give away their own clothes and jewelry? Besides, Qingyu's identity is awkward, and Fuqin is genuinely worried.
Qingyu picked up a piece of pastry and savored it. It was sweet and refreshing, and she squinted her eyes in enjoyment. Hearing this, she put down the pastry without much concern and said, "Those clothes are all made of the finest materials. She probably has never worn them in her entire life. Isn't it perfect for me to give them to her?"
Fuqin smiled helplessly, but looking at Qingyu's beautiful profile, she couldn't help but agree: "Miss is right. By the way, Miss, the invitation from Miss Nanfu was sent a couple of days ago, inviting you to enjoy the flowers and tea this afternoon."
Nan Zhu'er, the darling of the Nan family, is also Qingyu's best friend. However, in the original story, she also invited Ji Qingwei to today's gathering. In order to support Qingyu, she made things difficult for Ji Qingwei at every turn. Unexpectedly, this banquet brought the latter into the sight of the current crown prince.
This led to a series of subsequent love-hate relationships.
"Since we've already made the appointment, let's go." Qingyu stretched her supple waist and was about to get up when a maid came in, carrying a tray with several pieces of jewelry on it.
Qingyu raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes showing interest. "Did Mother send it?"
The maid shook her head and said respectfully, "Yes... Second Miss."
The second young lady is Ji Qingwei. Originally, after she returned, Qingyu should have given up her position as the eldest young lady. However, for some reason, Ji Qingwei took the initiative to offer to be second. As a result, she became the second young lady of the Ji family after her return.
Ji Qingwei sent it? Qingyu was a little stunned. When she came to her senses, a hint of disdain unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
What good jewelry could Ji Qingwei, a country bumpkin who just returned, possibly have?
Qingyu immediately lost interest, a faint indifference settling over her beautiful face. She casually waved her hand, "It's a reward for you."
The maid was stunned, somewhat incredulous yet overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.
Outside.
Ji Qingwei stood straight not far away, gazing intently at the doorway, as if she could see the charming young girl through the wall.
Fu Hua, the maidservant beside her, was new to her. After spending a few days together, she had figured out some of her mistress's personality, but she still didn't understand why her mistress was so eager to please the young lady.
Although the young lady was indeed exceptionally beautiful, she still couldn't understand why she was so eager to pursue him.
Seeing Ji Qingwei's longing look, Fu Hua couldn't help but advise, "Miss, let's go back. I doubt the eldest young lady will come out."
Ji Qingwei paused, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.
Yes, the gift she gave was the best she could offer, but it still wasn't good enough for Qingyu.
Ultimately, it's because she wasn't good enough.
Ji Qingwei was overwhelmed with emotion. She tried her best to suppress it, exhaled a breath of stale air, and suddenly asked, "Was it... a gathering hosted by Miss Nan this afternoon?"
Fu Hua nodded. "This is your first time appearing in public, Miss. When we get back, I will prepare clothes and jewelry for you. I will certainly not embarrass you."
It is well known that ever since Ji Qingwei returned to the Ji family, rumors about the "real and fake heiress" have never stopped in the capital, and many people are curious about what Ji Qingwei looks like.
Fu Hua is an elder of the Ji family, so she naturally knows the importance of Ji Qingwei's appearance this time.
However, Ji Qingwei herself didn't care at all. Instead, she asked with some anticipation, "Go and find out if Qingyu will be going too?"
Although Qingyu would definitely go in the dream, Ji Qingwei was still uncertain.
Fu Hua was left with no choice but to obey the order and go to investigate.
Only after confirming that it was true did he return and report to Ji Qingwei.
At that time, the latter happened to run into Ji Qingying, who was returning from an outing.
Speaking of which, the last time everyone met, only Ji Qingying was absent. Now, seeing this nominal elder brother for the first time, Ji Qingwei was a little nervous.
In the dream, she said her older brother treated her extremely well, but she didn't know that in reality...
"Big brother."
The composed young woman, dressed in a light blue dress, exuded calmness and composure. If it weren't for the slight tension in her eyes, Ji Qingying would have almost mistaken her for a dignified young lady from a prominent family.
This new younger sister has a rather intimidating presence.
Ji Qingying nodded indifferently, but then, recalling the direction Ji Qingwei had come from, she couldn't help but ask, "From Zhenyu Courtyard?"
Zhenyu Courtyard is Qingyu's courtyard.
"Ah."
"You've just come back and aren't familiar with the area yet, so don't provoke Qingyu unless it's absolutely necessary. She's too stubborn," Ji Qingying subconsciously reminded her, not wanting Ji Qingwei's presence to hurt Qingyu.
Ji Qingwei's eyes trembled slightly as she looked up and stared directly into Ji Qingying's eyes.
Cold, profound, devoid of any other emotion.
This older brother didn't like her as much as he did in the dream.
Ji Qingwei was not disappointed. Ever since she learned about her background, she knew that she could not rely on anyone.
She smiled and said, "Qingyu is very good. I will gradually make her accept me."
Ji Qingying was somewhat surprised and carefully scanned the expression on the person in front of her—there was no pretense.
After considering it for a moment, he said, "Your positions are already awkward. I will keep her in check, and you must keep yourself in check as well."
What is this nonsense?
Ji Qingwei had already inquired about everything about Ji Qingying and knew some of the latter's temperament and personality traits, including the fact that he and Qingyu had never gotten along since childhood.
So what does it mean now?
Ji Qingwei's eyes flickered, and she did not reply to Ji Qingying's words. Just then, Fu Hua returned from inquiring about the news, and Ji Qingwei took the opportunity to say goodbye, "Big brother, I won't bother you any longer."
After saying this, he left quickly without waiting for Ji Qingying's reply.
Ji Qingying frowned slightly, gazing at that retreating figure, her thoughts swirling.
This younger sister is no ordinary person.
------------
After noon, Qingyu finished washing and dressing and boarded the carriage to attend the banquet.
Shortly after she left, a carriage followed, heading in the same direction.
The party that Nam Joo-ah organized was held in her mother's private property—a beautiful courtyard.
When Qingyu arrived, there were already quite a few carriages at the entrance. She glanced at them casually and recognized some of them, but not others.
A maid was waiting at the door. When she saw Qingyu get off the carriage, she immediately stepped forward and bowed, not daring to raise her head. "Miss Ji, please come in with me."
Qingyu gave a soft "hmm," her voice melodious and pleasant. The maid gasped, not daring to think too much, and quickly led Qingyu inside.
As soon as Qingyu entered, she was enveloped in a fragrant embrace—
Nan Zhuer hugged Qingyu tightly, overjoyed, "Qingyu, you've finally arrived! I asked you to come out the other day, but you wouldn't!"
As she spoke, she released Qingyu, but her expression faltered the moment she saw the latter.
The beautiful young woman smiled, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were full of affection; every smile and frown was captivating.
Nan Zhu'er was completely stunned.
