Chapter 59: Dangerous Invitation
Xia Muqing frowned and pondered. Finally, she found an image in one of her memories.
Two slightly older girls snatched something from a little girl.
The little girl was crying miserably, but no one around her helped or intervened.
The intensity of her emotions conveyed to Xia Muqing and allowed her to know that this thing was very important to the girl.
In that case…
On the day that the two of them had agreed to meet, Xia Chuxing sat confidently in a room in the Yulan Inn. She was sure that Xia Muqing would definitely turn up.
Time passed slowly. There was no sight of her, and Xia Chuxing’s confidence started to waver.
She kept ordering people to take a look around the streets.
Two hours had passed since their appointment.
Xia Muqing hadn’t arrived.
Xia Chuxing’s expression had already turned ugly.
She felt a little weak. If this couldn’t lure her out, she really had no other way.
If she were to be married to King Yu, no… that was impossible. She would never marry him.
Just as she was panicking, a servant brought her good news.
“Second Young Mistress, Third Young Mistress is already heading here.”
Surprise flashed across Xia Chuxing’s eyes, and she hastily straightened her posture before reciting what Ruan Yu had taught her.
She waited for a long time but still, no one came.
Xia Chuxing snapped angrily, “Didn’t you say that she was here?”
The servant replied awkwardly, “Third Young Mistress went to the jewelry shop again.”
Xia Chuxing’s expression stiffened and she stared at the servant in disbelief.
The servants kept reporting where Xia Muqing had gone. She went to all the shops along the way, but she didn’t buy anything.
Xia Chuxing had already turned numb. She propped herself up with her arms and waited for her to come.
In reality, she really wanted to rush over and drag her here. But she couldn’t and didn’t dare to.
She finally learned her lesson after suffering losses the previous times.
Just as she thought that Xia Muqing wouldn’t come, she finally arrived.
Xia Muqing acted as if she didn’t notice anything wrong. She sat on a chair and asked, “Second Sister, why are you looking for me?”
Xia Chuxing couldn’t help but remark, “Third Sister, you’re really early.”
Unexpectedly, Xia Muqing agreed shamelessly. “The main reason is that it’s getting dark soon. It’s too dangerous for a weak woman like me to go home too late.”
Xia Chuxing almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She suppressed her anger and said, “Third Sister, the reason I wanted to meet you today is to apologize to you. I was insensible in the past and I came to apologize to you.”
Xia Muqing replied in surprise, “You finally realized your mistake!”
Xia Chuxing’s expression stiffened. How could anyone say that?
She was still furious and she didn’t expect Xia Muqing to be even more ruthless.
“Then tell me, what did you do wrong?”
Xia Muqing then leaned back on her chair and looked as if she was all ears.
Xia Chuxing smiled stiffly and said, “Let’s have a drink first. It can be considered as both of us letting go of our grudges with a smile.”
Xia Muqing blocked her hand that was offering the wine and said, “How can you drink before you’ve even made yourself clear?”
Xia Chuxing could only force herself to say. “I shouldn’t have snatched your dress when I was young.”
Xia Muqing nodded and looked at her encouragingly, gesturing for her to continue.
Xia Chuxing could only continue, “I shouldn’t have hit you. I shouldn’t have made you put on paint and makeup because of my jealousy…”
“I shouldn’t…”
Her mouth was dry from talking and she couldn’t help but take a sip of the wine.
Looking at Xia Muqing, who still looked relaxed.
Feeling increasingly indignant, she said, “That’s enough.”
Xia Muqing quipped in surprise, “Finally you’re done talking. If you didn’t mention all of these, I wouldn’t have realized that you had done so many bad things.”
So she had said all that for nothing.
Xia Chuxing, who felt suffocated, picked up the cup and drank the wine again.
