Qu Shanshan's smile was forced, and she tried her best to pretend that she didn't care, but the anger and humiliation in her eyes still betrayed her.

Compared with Qu Shanshan, Yu Qingwu was still so calm, her tall figure matched with extremely dignified deportment, which made her look like a fairy, but inexplicably exuded a sense of oppression.

Especially in front of Qu Shanshan, who had always been lively and lovely and 'boyish', Yu Qingwu completely outshone her.

Her peach-blossom eyes were like crescent moons, and her bright face was also full of smiles, but a trace of frost was outlined in her eyes, and she stared at Qu Shanshan meaningfully, without speaking.

Until Qu Shanshan's eyes flickered, Yu Qingwu slowly opened her mouth again, nodded at Qu Shanshan with a faint smile, and echoed her words, "Yes, a fairy-like figure like Junior Sister Qu naturally deserves to be with someone who is devoted for life."

"Besides, Junior Sister Qu is used to being unrestrained. If you enter the royal family, you will definitely be uncomfortable. So, Your Highness, don't even think about Junior Sister Qu."

Yu Qingwu curved her lips and glared at Xie Jin Yan playfully.

Such flirtation was very dazzling in Qu Shanshan's eyes.

Clearly, he used to be one of those who fawned over her, but now he easily took a fancy to an uninteresting person like Yu Qingwu.

Qu Shanshan was resentful and unwilling, but she still had to put on a small face and nodded perfunctorily to Yu Qingwu, "Yes, I have always been free and unrestrained. A place like the royal family is more suitable for a dignified and prudent person like Senior Sister Yu. Moreover, the royal family will definitely not tolerate women wielding knives and guns. Senior Sister Yu's body is delicate and weak, so it is more suitable to enter the royal family. With the royal family supporting you, even if you don't have martial arts, Senior Sister, you won't be useless."

Heh, her words were mocking her for being a good-for-nothing, and she took the opportunity to provoke him by bringing up the past, saying that Xie Jin Yan wanted to marry her into the royal family out of guilt for ruining her inner strength in the past, so that the royal family could support her, this good-for-nothing.

Unfortunately, she, Yu Qingwu, was not one of those easily deceived and instigated junior sisters, and would not get angry because of Qu Shanshan's few words.

"Qu..."

"What does Senior Sister Qu mean by this? Are you trying to provoke me?" Yu Qingwu slightly opened her lips, intending to reply to Qu Shanshan, but before she could speak, Xie Jin Yan's cold voice suddenly came from her ear.

Qu Shanshan, who was originally complacent about her cleverness, was stunned by Xie Jin Yan's sudden questioning.

Yu Qingwu was also stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized.

The fact that Xie Jin Yan pushed her into the icy lake because of his willfulness was proof of his disgust in the eyes of others, but little did they know that it was a thorn in his heart, a thorn of guilt towards her.

He never dared to mention it, and he was afraid to mention it in front of her, because once it was mentioned, it would not only reopen her old wounds, but also expose his past mistakes and ignorance to the world.

Xie Jin Yan felt guilty towards her, but he also cared about his face.

Qu Shanshan's words had obviously touched his nerves.

Qu Shanshan had never seen Xie Jin Yan's dark side. Did she really think that her little trick could fool him? In the end, he just wanted to see her jealous for him, so he didn't interrupt.

But at this moment, what Qu Shanshan was uncovering was not only her wound, but also his ugliness...

It was clearly a sunny day, but a sense of oppression and coldness inexplicably arose around them.

Xie Jin Yan's phoenix eyes stared coldly at Qu Shanshan, and his face turned gloomy and terrifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He was amiable just a moment ago, but now he was stern and fierce, looking at Qu Shanshan expressionlessly, and asked coldly again, "Qu Shanshan, what did you mean just now? What do you mean by saying that with the royal family supporting her, A-Wu is not a useless person?"

"What? Without the royal family supporting her, is my A-Wu a useless person?"

Xie Jin Yan's tone was aggressive, and his eyes were even more cold and fierce.

In an instant, it was as if he had become a different person.

Qu Shanshan was dumbfounded and even more afraid.

Although Xie Jin Yan was her junior brother, he was above her in both literary and martial arts. If he started fighting, he could crush her with a single finger.

Most importantly, Xie Jin Yan was the crown prince of the current dynasty, while she was just a concubine's daughter from a small security firm. He was usually polite and called her Senior Sister. But if he wasn't polite, he could take her life at any time.

For a moment, Qu Shanshan was both afraid and puzzled.

She didn't understand why Xie Jin Yan would suddenly get angry, and he had always been smiling at her before.

Before she could think too much, the man's cold warning came to her ears again, word by word, "Qu Shanshan, I usually give you a smiling face because we are from the same sect. That is only for the sake of Master and the Xiao family, and has nothing to do with you personally. So, please have some self-awareness, don't treat me as a fish in your pond, and don't talk nonsense in front of my wife."

"Also, please look in the mirror. Don't always think that others are fond of you just because they are polite to you. A promiscuous, fickle, and indecent woman like you would have been executed by dismemberment long ago in the royal family!"

Xie Jin Yan spoke extremely quickly, not giving Qu Shanshan a chance to talk back at all, and immediately revealed Qu Shanshan's self-righteous and dirty thoughts.

Qu Shanshan had always thought that Xie Jin Yan must also like her. After all, compared to those well-behaved junior sisters, she was a special existence, but she didn't expect that she was so unbearable in Xie Jin Yan's eyes.

Her eyes turned red, and she looked at Xie Jin Yan in disbelief, feeling extremely ashamed and indignant.

"Junior Brother Xie, I didn't provoke you, I didn't mean that, and I'm not..."

"What kind of person you are has nothing to do with me." Seeing that Qu Shanshan still wanted to quibble, Xie Jin Yan interrupted her impatiently, looked at her red and misty eyes, and sneered, mocking, "Senior Sister Qu, you're just being scolded a few times, why are you crying? Aren't you a real man? Real men don't shed tears easily. Seeing you so teary-eyed, I don't know if your previous boisterousness was all an act."

Xie Jin Yan, this bastard, is indeed vicious!

These words were not only extremely insulting, but also made it impossible for people to talk back.

Yu Qingwu secretly glanced at Qu Shanshan, only to see Qu Shanshan with tears in her eyes, stuck in place extremely embarrassingly, not knowing whether to cry or not. https:/

"Junior Brother Xie, you're being unreasonable!" Qu Shanshan stomped her foot fiercely, wiped her tears, and left in a huff.

Yu Qingwu stood in place, looking at Qu Shanshan's departing figure, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for her.

After a moment of silence, she took Xie Jin Yan's arm and pulled him away quickly.

After stepping into the guest room all the way, Qingwu turned to look at the man with a gloomy face and sighed, "Weren't you on good terms with Qu Shanshan before? Just teach her a lesson so that she doesn't dare to cause trouble in front of me again, why did you have to say such things?"

Hearing this, Xie Jin Yan smiled. The gloomy face from the previous moment was filled with a smile. He looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Yu Qingwu, I have a good relationship with Qu Shanshan? Are you misunderstanding something?"
