The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 313 - 125 Duke Mansion (2) Luring Xie Ruiyao_2

The servants brought over fine tea and pastries.

"Princess, please try the Ruyi Cake from our Duke Mansion, I have loved it since I was a child," Xie Ruiyao said enthusiastically, her 16-year-old age also exhibiting a naive and cheerful disposition.

"Alright," Ye Qichi nodded.

She habitually brought the pastry to her nose for a light sniff before slowly placing it in her mouth.

The soft, sticky, and sweet taste melted immediately upon entering her mouth, truly exceptional.

"Do you like it?" Xie Ruiyao asked.

"It’s very tasty."

"I knew the Princess would like it," Xie Ruiyao, overjoyed by the praise, exclaimed.

If one did not know her true nature, one would indeed be deceived by her seemingly innocent appearance.

"Sister, you eat too," Xie Ruiyao hurriedly invited Xie Ruotong, "When you were little, didn’t you also love the Ruyi Cake from our mansion? There was a time when grandmother would cry whenever she saw Ruyi Cake; thankfully you’ve come back, coming back is good..."

As she spoke, her voice began to choke.

The display was one of deep sisterly affection.

Xie Ruotong was naturally somewhat moved in her heart, she quickly said, "Yao’er, don’t cry, I’m back now."

"Mm-hmm," Xie Ruiyao sniffled, gradually calming herself down.

The room seemed harmonious.

While Ye Qichi was eating pastries and drinking tea, she casually mentioned, "You and Bai Mowan really do look 80% similar."

Xie Ruiyao had also accompanied them for snacks but was briefly taken aback by Ye Qichi’s sudden remark, pausing as she held her teacup.

A flash of sharpness appeared in her eyes, but she quickly masked it.

She smiled warmly.

When she placed the teacup down, she lightly wiped her mouth, "Everyone says so."

There seemed to be nothing unusual about her.

"I just arrived at the Duke Mansion today, when I saw you, I nearly thought General Bai had come to Duke Mansion. You must know, Bai Mowan has now gone to the border," Ye Qichi said.

"I know, she’s been there for almost half a year now. When I heard the news that my cousin went to the border I was really startled, but more than that, I admire her. She is talented both in literary and military skills, truly a woman who does not yield to men."

"Indeed, the Emperor highly praises her," Ye Qichi echoed somewhat indifferently, "I heard Bai Mowan is returning from the border in a few days."

"Is she coming back?" Xie Ruiyao appeared to harbor no hostility towards Bai Mowan.

"The imperial family’s annual hunting festival is happening; the Emperor specifically requested Bai Mowan to return for it." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"The Emperor really values my cousin," Xie Ruiyao remarked.

It seemed like there was no hint of jealousy in her voice.

Even carrying a bit of pride.

This woman.

Her schemes are indeed not simple.

"I’ve heard that this time, the Emperor intends to have Bai Mowan marry Prince Chu," Ye Qichi took another sip of tea, appearing very nonchalant.

Her gaze, however, was deliberately assessing Xie Ruiyao.

As perfect as this woman had acted from the beginning to the end, upon hearing this news, her expression still changed slightly.

The next moment, she quickly resumed her composure, "I heard about this last time. The Emperor intended to arrange a marriage but my cousin, harboring great aspirations, refused and went to the border to fight. It’s only natural for the Emperor to arrange a marriage again now that she’s returning. My cousin is so outstanding, and Prince Chu is also among the best of men, they truly are a match made in heaven."

Ye Qichi smiled.

She really felt some admiration.

Xie Ruiyao’s heart must be twisted.

Yet how could she utter such lofty and honorable words with such sincerity?

But her.

She no longer wanted to beat around the bush with her.

The words she had deliberately spoken just now were also meant to observe what kind of person Xie Ruiyao was.

Since her schemes are so deep.

It’s no use beating around the bush.

With such a person, any indirect expression of one’s thoughts will absolutely not lead them to easily expose themselves.

Ye Qichi put down her teacup again and asked, "Do you really think that Bai Mowan and Prince Chu are a match made in heaven?"

At this moment, Xie Ruiyao felt the unusual intent from Ye Qichi.

She was actually quite perplexed, there wasn’t just her in the family, why would Ye Qichi and Xie Ruotong come to her courtyard alone? According to seniority, they should have visited Xie Ruilin first; why did they suddenly seek her?! Later she thought, perhaps they wanted to win her over.

Xie Ruotong just returned and was not very familiar with the family members; to better adapt, she definitely wanted someone to support her. And considering that Xie Ruilin had been the mistress of the Duke Mansion for many years, Xie Ruotong, if wise enough, would know for sure not to approach Xie Ruilin. After all, Xie Ruilin’s reaction to Xie Ruotong’s return would certainly be self-interested.
