Chapter 381 The Selfish Ghost
Looking at Shen Yiyu's back as he hurriedly left, Dugu Xiaomeng's heart was mixed. She had to face the trivialities and impermanence of life at a young age. Her parents and sisters were cruel people, and she was willing to sacrifice her happiness in exchange for the satisfaction of her desires.
Dugu Xiaoyue was very disappointed because she felt like an object was being exchanged and replaced.
In anger, she pulled off the bead hairpin from her head and threw it hard to the ground. This may be the most extraordinary thing she has ever done in her life. Since she was a child, she has been taught to be gentle, humble, virtuous and peaceful. Every time she saw Dugu Xiaomeng hitting something, she had to stop her sister's rude words and deeds, but in the end she just used this method to vent her dissatisfaction.
Looking at the bead hairpin lying alone on the ground, she seemed to see her helpless self, so she had to pick it up and tidy it up, pull it into her arms, leaning it against her heart to absorb a little warmth, as if it could melt the coldness in her heart.
It was clearly the midsummer of June, but Dugu Xiaoyue felt extremely desolate. She walked while crying. The hot sunlight closed her eyes slightly, and the tears had already dried up. She wandered helplessly in the busy street market and unconsciously came to Duanmu Mansion.
"Sister Xueqing~" Dugu Xiaoyue saw Xueqing who was tidying up the flower garden as soon as she entered the door. She was wearing a long pine-colored dress, wearing a tulle-covered gauze and holding long cuts. Those who didn't know each other thought that it was the snail girl who was in the mortal world doing farm work.
"Why are you here again? The young master is going to school. If you are not at the mansion, leave quickly. It's really annoying." Xue Qing asked while wiping the sweat on her forehead. She didn't like Dugu Xiaoyue, not only because she was too close to Youchen, but also because Dugu Xiaomeng had just harmed her master.
"I'm not here to find Brother Chen." Dugu Xiaoyue felt aggrieved. She didn't understand why Xueqing was so hostile to her, especially when she saw the sharp scissors pruning her branches and leaves, she was extremely scared.
"Then what are you doing?" Xue Qing rolled her eyes and said impatiently. When she thought of the good things Dugu Xiaomeng did, she was very angry. She wanted to find an opportunity to ask for her master for her harm.
"I am..." Dugu Xiaoyue was very nervous when facing other people's questions, as if she had done something wrong.
"Xiaoyue has something to do?" Yunguan was idle and wanted to accompany Xueqing to build a flower garden. As soon as she walked to the courtyard, she heard the unpleasant conversation between the two.
"Sister Guan~" Dugu Xiaoyue immediately ran to hug the person in front of her, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and she was reluctant to let go, and she could not let go.
"What's wrong? Tell me if you have something to do~" Yunwan didn't like to be so close to others, and for a moment she was very dull.
"Be gentle, don't hurt our master." When Xueqing helped the master wipe last night, she found that there were a few bruises on her body. She applied ointment to Yunguan while wiping tears, which made her feel very distressed.
"Xueqing, Xiaoyue is so pitiful, you have a better attitude towards her." Although Yunguan was very angry with Dugu Xiaomeng's behavior, the person in her arms was her sister, not her. She should not pass on her hatred for her to Dugu Xiaoyue.
"Master, if she hadn't begged you to see her sister, you wouldn't have suffered such a serious crime, and you'd almost... Anyway, I don't think these sisters are so kind." Xue Qing was very suspicious of Yunguan's mistaken sedan chair. She felt that the two sisters had joined forces to trick her master into Dugu Mansion.
"Xueqing, go and cook some mung bean and coix seed soup. We should drink some to relieve the heat." Yunguan can only ask Dugu Xiaoyue carefully if she sends Xueqing away. Otherwise, with Xueqing here, there will definitely be full of doubts and accountability. "Be good at Xiaoyue, stop crying~"
"Sister Wan, are you okay?" Dugu Xiaoyue was very concerned. She knew that Yunguan had mistakenly got into the bridal chamber for her sister.
"I'm fine, tell me what's wrong with you? I'm crying so sadly?" Yunwan didn't want to mention what happened yesterday again. Some things are suitable for the rest of her life to rot in her stomach.
"Sister Guan, I really don't know that my sister will let you take care of me. They are so selfish and can do anything." Dugu Xiaoyue was indignant. She didn't expect that her father would easily contribute to her for the elder sister.
"What are they? Sister? " Yunguan thought it was the prince who offended Dugu Xiaoyue.
"My father, my mother, my elder sister, for some reason, I want me to marry the prince, even if I am a concubine, wuwu~" Dugu Xiaoyue felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke. She didn't expect that she would have so many tears to shed.
"Let you be the prince's concubine? Haven't you been in the forefront yet?" Yunwan was extremely surprised.
"I overheard the conversation between my father and the prince in the morning, saying that I would send me to the prince's mansion and give me a title after the hairpin." Dugu Xiaoyue was very glad to hear this conversation, and at least she could think of a way to get out of the predicament.
"What?" Yunguan couldn't believe her ears. Regardless of whether Dugu Xiaoyue said it was true, her good impression of Dugu Ruyuan had been greatly reduced.
"Cu Liangyuan or Liangdi, my father wants us sisters to become the right-hand assistants of the prince. Sister Guan, are you ridiculous?" Dugu Xiaoyue truly understood the truth that crying cannot solve the problem when encountering problems.
"It's not new for sisters to serve a husband together. It's just that your sister has just married into the mansion and wants to take a concubine. Does the prince agree?" Yunguan wanted to ask carefully.
"Crown Prince? He is so happy. He is organizing the concubine ceremony and insisting on my sister to host it, haha~" Dugu Xiaoyue sneered.
"Then what is your sister's attitude?" Yunwan didn't know what Dugu Xiaomeng thought about this matter. She intervened too much but meddled with other people's business.
"You're angry, I don't even care about me. She also said that the prince's concubine had nothing to do with her." Dugu Xiaoyue shrugged and felt helpless.
"I really don't value your blood relationship. If you don't know or distinguish, you will be included in the mansion. I'm still so anxious. Your sister is cruel enough. Then you will join the prince's mansion tomorrow?" Yunguan didn't expect Dugu Xiaomeng to be so irresponsible.
"Sister Guan misunderstood. Tomorrow, the prince took the initiative to take a concubine. I don't know which woman it is. My father secretly discussed with the prince in the morning. Although my sister doesn't care about me, no one will believe me except you. I will never want to go back to Dugu Mansion again. Sister, can you take me in? I specially prepared a pearl hairpin for you, and I don't know if my sister likes it?" Dugu Xiaoyue begged while stuffing the pearl hairpin to Yunguan.
"Ah? Are you not afraid of your family's rush?" Yunguan would be crazy if she couldn't find Youchen.
"Why should I care about my family who only care about me?" Dugu Xiaoyue was very confident.
"Okay, if you like it, please stay in the house temporarily." Yunguan didn't want to take in Dugu Xiaoyue, she was afraid that Dugu Xiaomeng would come to cause trouble again.
