Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 216: Celebrating Longevity (5)

"Cousin, is there anything inappropriate?" Jueqing was also idly sitting there, listening to the pipa, and upon closer hearing, it indeed flowed more freely than the previous players. He turned his head to see his cousin shaking hers and asked.

"The playing is passable, but it lacks a bit of emotion." She picked up a cup of wine from the table and slowly savored it.

"Hmph, you talk as if you know so much. If you’re so capable, why don’t you go up there and play a piece for everyone to hear?" Feng Xuxu turned to look and saw it was a girl in purple behind her. Feng Xuxu frowned and thought for a moment, realizing it was the legitimate daughter of the number one ranked family of the Hidden Clan, Xiahou Wenyu.

"Let’s not talk about whether I can play or not. At least I can tell the quality of the sound, and just on that point, I still see myself as better than you." She raised an eyebrow, looking disdainfully at Xiahou Wenyu.

"You... Hmph, no wonder you’re ranked last in the Hidden Clan; looking at you, the Xuanyuan Hidden Clan really seems to be declining," Xiahou Wenyu said dismissively, waving her handkerchief.

"Is that so? Seeing your so-called number one Xiahou Hidden Clan, I think in the near future, you will slowly disappear, all because of your words today." Xiahou Wenyu had successfully provoked Feng Xuxu’s anger. What number one of the Hidden Clan? Just by sending your sister into the palace to be a lowly concubine, you dream of swallowing up the other Hidden Clans? Absurd.

"How laughable, relying on a Holy Maiden who came out of nowhere? A girl born from tilling the soil is going to make our Xiahou lineage disappear? You’re too full of yourself," Wenyu said with a laugh, covering her mouth with the handkerchief, her eyes brimming with scorn.

"Hahaha, is it funny? Whether it is or isn’t, we shall see in the future." Feng Xuxu turned away, done wasting words on this meaningless conversation. She was determined to target the Xiahou Hidden Clan first. You proclaim yourselves as the number one clan, hmph, this time you wouldn’t even count as the last.

Xiahou Yuan listened to the exchange between his sister and the Xuanyuan Holy Maiden from the side. He had kept quiet, wanting to see what kind of background the Xuanyuan Holy Maiden had. He was not as simple-minded as his sister, and after taking a deep look at Feng Xuxu, he turned to his sister and said, "Wenyu, you are being unreasonable. Apologize to the Holy Maiden."

"Big brother?" Wenyu’s eyes widened in disbelief that her brother was making her apologize to a peasant girl. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"What, you don’t listen to me anymore?" Xiahou Yuan looked at his sister with an ugly expression, wondering where all her intelligence had gone.

"Yes." With a sense of grievance, she lowered her head and took a deep breath before saying to Feng Xuxu, "I was being unreasonable just now. I hope the Holy Maiden can forgive me."

Feng Xuxu hooked up the corner of her mouth and said in a light, indifferent voice, "Whether I forgive you or not, what has happened has happened. Is there any need to talk about it?"

She snorted coldly and didn’t bother to look at Xiahou Wenyu’s stiff face anymore.

"You..." Xiahou Wenyu never thought that after she had humbled herself to apologize, the other party would not only reject it but also say it was unnecessary. If it was unnecessary, why didn’t she interrupt when I was speaking? Instead, you wait until I’ve finished before saying that, isn’t this making me lose face?

Seeing Xiahou Wenyu’s deflated appearance, Feng Xuxu’s mood improved even further, and she couldn’t help but open her mouth in a smile, showing two little canines. Her older cousin shook his head indulgently upon seeing this and whispered in her ear, "You’re doing this on purpose."

Feng Xuxu smiled and winked at her cousin, "Who told her to insult Xuanyuan, to insult me first? This is just a small warning."

"Aren’t you afraid of making enemies for yourself?"

"Enemies? If I was afraid, I wouldn’t have become the Holy Maiden," she said confidently.

"Well done." Jueqing gave her a thumbs-up to praise his cousin.
