Apart from the fact that Jiujiu's family background was higher than hers, it was also because of Jiujiu's smug smile at the banquet.
Li Ruyi was petty to begin with, and she would never forget Jiujiu's provocative smile.
But now, Jiujiu was not with the Third Prince, but she was already with him. Thinking of the sweet nothings the Third Prince had said to her just now, she felt even more smug.
Li Ruyi walked up to Jiujiu like a big rooster with her head held high and her chest puffed out. She greeted Jiujiu with a smile. "Long time no see."
Jiujiu glanced at Li Ruyi.
Jiujiu smiled. "It has indeed been a long time. The last time I saw Miss Li, the Third Prince was still trying to curry favor with me. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the two of you have already exchanged tokens."
Jiujiu's words instantly brought Li Ruyi back to the day of the banquet, and her hatred for her deepened.
The smile on Li Ruyi's face instantly froze. If they weren't on the streets in front of so many people, she would definitely have fallen out with them.
Because she couldn't fall out with them, Li Ruyi could only say unmercifully, "That's right, I originally thought that the Third Prince liked Miss Zheng, but I didn't expect that he didn't choose you. I think it must be because Miss Zheng and the Third Prince aren't compatible."
She was implying that Jiujiu wasn't a good person.
After all, if Jiujiu was good enough, why didn't the Third Prince choose her, but Li Ruyi?
Li Ruyi wanted to use the fact that the Third Prince had chosen her to suppress Jiujiu.
Unfortunately, she met Jiujiu, who didn't play by the rules.
Hearing Li Ruyi mention the Third Prince, Jiujiu covered her mouth and laughed. "Miss Li, those who don't know would think that we are cabbages in the market, allowing the Third Prince to pick and choose freely."
Jiujiu walked to Li Ruyi's side and whispered into Li Ruyi's ear, "Miss Li, you probably don't know. In fact, after that day, the Third Prince came looking for me several times. However, I have high standards and I don't like ordinary people, so I didn't pay much attention to the Third Prince. Moreover, I heard that after I rejected him, the Third Prince went looking for Lu Xinyin. Unfortunately, Lu Xinyin also didn't like him. In the end, he came looking for you.
Miss Li, you're just the last one chosen by the Third Prince. I really don't know what you have to be proud of. "
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her handkerchief and smiled. "Although I have high standards, I have a good heart. Seeing that Miss Li has been kept in the dark all this time, I feel really pitiful, so I'll tell you the truth. I hope that you won't be too sad after knowing the truth."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she walked away with a twisted expression on Li Ruyi's face.
Jiujiu's words agitated Li Ruyi's heart. Her fingernails dug into her palms, but she didn't feel it at all.
Now, Li Ruyi's mind was filled with Jiujiu's words.
She was just the last one chosen by the Third Prince.
Li Ruyi was proud and arrogant. She had always thought that she was the best one, but in Jiujiu's words, she had become the last one chosen. It was really infuriating.
Thinking of the sweet words and promises the Third Prince had made to her, Li Ruyi felt that Jiujiu must be jealous of her.
But on second thought, Jiujiu didn't know about the sweet words she had said to the Third Prince. Why would she be jealous of her? Li Ruyi thought about it from left to right. In the end, she still felt that it would be better for her to ask the Third Prince.
However, Li Ruyi had a guilty conscience and did not dare to ask too directly. The Third Prince, on the other hand, had a glib tongue. The moment Li Ruyi opened her mouth, the Third Prince began to question whether Li Ruyi did not believe him. With a few words, the Third Prince dispelled Li Ruyi's misgivings. The relationship between the two continued like this. When Li Ruyi reached marriageable age, the two of them were already engaged. They would be married in August of the following year.
Hearing from Qing Liu that Li Ruyi and the Third Prince were engaged, Jiujiu pursed her lips. "A scumbag and a slut. The two of them together will save others from being a scourge."
Because Qing Liu was loyal and devoted to Jiujiu, she also hated the Third Prince and Li Ruyi, whom Jiujiu disliked. Hearing Jiujiu scolding the Third Prince and Li Ruyi, Qing Liu also added, "I heard that Li Ruyi and the Third Prince often get together and kiss each other. How shameless."
Jiujiu chuckled. "It's also a kind of fate that the two of them are so shameless. The two of them will always be together in the end, saving others from being a scourge."
Jiujiu's words were so fresh that it made the brothel chuckle.
After laughing, Qing Liu went to the small kitchen to get the brown sugar date tea that Jiujiu had prepared for her.
Jiujiu's first period came some time ago. Although she didn't feel anything, Cheng Wanyun acted as if she was facing a great enemy and insisted that she drink the brown sugar date tea every day, saying that it was good for the body.
Jiujiu hated the taste of the ginger tea. She originally wanted to tell Qing Liu that she didn't like to drink it and let Qing Liu throw it away, but who knew that Qing Liu, who used to be on her side, would actually side with Cheng Wanyun.
Not only did she go to the kitchen to get the brown sugar date tea, she even helped Cheng Wanyun watch Jiujiu drink the brown sugar date tea, making Jiujiu suffer unspeakably.
Looking at the tea that Qing Liu brought over emitting a strong ginger smell, Jiujiu only felt that her mouth had become ginger, and even her stomach started to twitch.
Just as Jiujiu picked up the cup of tea and was about to drink it, Zheng Shaoyu's voice came from outside the door. "Little Sister, look who I brought over."
Jiujiu felt as if she had been pardoned. She immediately put down the brown sugar date tea in her hand and rushed out as if welcoming the god of wealth. "Third Brother, you're finally back."
Zheng Shaoyu, who was being welcomed by Jiujiu for the first time, was a little stunned. Why was his little sister so enthusiastic today?
Could it be that she wanted him to cook something for her again?
Jiujiu not only saw Zheng Shaoyu outside the door, but also saw the Eighth Prince.
After not seeing him for half a year, the Eighth Prince had grown half a head taller. Previously, he was a head shorter than Jiujiu, but now, he was already close to Jiujiu's ear.
Jiujiu looked at the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Prince looked at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was pleasantly surprised. "Little Eighth, why are you here?"
Hearing Jiujiu call the Eighth Prince 'Little Eighth', Zheng Shaoyu's mouth twitched.
My god, this is the Emperor's son, the Eighth Prince. Little Sister, is it really okay for you to call him that?
Hearing the familiar 'Little Eighth' again, the Eighth Prince's mouth curved in a wide arc. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "Big Sister."
"Ai." Jiujiu took the Eighth Prince's hand and led him into her room. As she walked, she asked, "Little Eighth, why didn't you tell me before you came? I didn't prepare anything. How embarrassing."
Suddenly, Jiujiu grabbed his hand. Feeling the faint warmth of Jiujiu's palm, the Eighth Prince felt that this warmth was like a small flame that made his cheeks heat up little by little.
