Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu
Chapter 498
At this time, Luo Yu, Yue Wanhan and Mo Ying were talking happily, and the atmosphere between the three of them was relaxed and harmonious. However, in the eyes of some people, this picture was not so beautiful.
Wang Dandan was one of them. As the daughter of Wang Mogang, a fourth-rank cloud commander, her father's official position in the bustling capital was not low, but it was not prominent either.
It can be said that he is neither high nor low.
Therefore, Wang Dandan learned how to get along with everyone, and was good at observing people's words and expressions, and speaking to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way.
Originally, Wang Dandan set her sights on Yue Qingshu. In terms of age and status, Yue Qingshu was undoubtedly her best choice.
She was very smart and knew that she could only become a concubine if she entered the royal family with her identity. Instead of doing that, she might as well give it a try and put all her hopes on Yue Qingshu. After all, with a powerful father like Yue Wenli, Yue Qingshu's future career could be described as smooth sailing and promising.
But just when she was racking her brains to think of how to get close to Yue Qingshu, Mo Ying showed up unexpectedly. What made her even more angry was that the two of them had actually reached the stage of discussing marriage, which was obviously a done deal.
It's easy to tell that some dishonest means were used and the matter has been settled.
This made Wang Dandan extremely angry. She could tolerate others looking down on her, but she could not tolerate the fact that Mo Ying, a girl of a lowly mountain bandit, dared to openly compete with her for a man.
Seeing that Yue Wanhan was actually trying to get close to Luo Yu with a strange woman, Wang Dandan instantly felt jealous.
She stared at the strange woman with her eyes wide open, cursing in her heart: "Is this the lowly daughter of the mountain bandit? Humph, I don't know how Yue Wanhan was deceived by this woman and even dared to bring her to Princess Hexi's banquet!"
The more Wang Dandan thought about it, the angrier she became. It was as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her head. She clenched her fists tightly, digging her nails deep into her palms to restrain her urge to rush up and tear Mo Ying's face apart. She was so angry that her eyes almost turned red. She kept twisting her handkerchief and biting her lips, almost biting her teeth.
At this time, several friends standing nearby noticed that Wang Dandan was in a bad mood and cast puzzled looks at her.
They were all in the same group, from similar family backgrounds, and usually colluded with each other, so they liked to gossip together. One of the women, Zhang Yue, asked cautiously, "Dandan, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Yue followed Wang Dandan's line of sight and asked knowingly, "Look at that woman, isn't she the wife of General Yue who was born a bandit?"
Several other friends followed Wang Dandan's gaze and saw a woman in gorgeous clothes talking with Yue Wanhan, Luo Yu and others with a confident smile on her face.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue curled her lips in disdain and said sarcastically, "It turned out to be her. She doesn't look that good, and looks poor."
But the gloating in Zhang Yue's eyes was also obvious. It seemed that she and Wang Dandan were not really close, but just fake sisters.
She quickly concealed her sarcastic smile. Wang Dandan usually liked to put on airs, and now she has finally been caught, which is really gratifying.
When the others heard this, they all echoed, "Yes, Dandan, don't worry. How can a woman like this compare to you? You are a famous noblewoman in the capital. How are you not better than her?"
"That's right, Dandan. She's just a bandit's daughter. Even if she marries General Yue, so what? She's still not presentable enough."
After hearing the comfort from her sisters, Wang Dandan felt a little better, but the anger in her eyes was still there.
She sneered, "Of course I don't take her seriously, but I think Yue Wanhan is too much. She actually brought such a woman to attend Princess Hexi's banquet. It's simply a disgrace to all of us!"
Everyone nodded, expressing their agreement with Wang Dandan's opinion. At this time, another friend suddenly suggested: "Why don't we go meet her and see what she is capable of to snatch the man you love."
When Wang Dandan heard this, she immediately perked up. She smiled proudly and said, "Okay, then let's go meet her and let her know her own weight." As she spoke, a group of people walked towards Mo Ying in a mighty manner, ready to give her a warning.
Although Wang Dandan was very jealous and angry, she was a smart person after all, and naturally knew her own weight.
What's more, Luo Yu was here at the moment, so she had to restrain herself.
On the other side, Luo Yu and Yue Wanhan saw from the corner of their eyes that Wang Dandan and her group were walking towards them, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
It seems that these people have bad intentions.
However, Mo Ying on the side knew nothing about it. She just stood there and responded with a few words from time to time.
When Wang Dandan and the others came closer, Wang Dandan took the lead and bowed to Luo Yu, saying, "Greetings to the Thirteenth Lady."
The others followed suit and saluted.
Luo Yu nodded slightly with a cold expression as a return gift. In fact, she had already seen through Wang Dandan's thoughts, but she was just too lazy to argue with her.
Then, Wang Dandan turned around and greeted Yue Wanhan. Yue Wanhan also nodded with a fake smile.
Finally, Wang Dandan asked as if she had just seen Mo Ying, "This girl looks unfamiliar. I wonder...whose daughter is she?"
Her words were filled with strong malice, but her tone was concealed so well that no one could hear any clues, as if she was just expressing doubt.
Yue Wanhan rolled her eyes in disdain from an invisible corner, secretly complaining in her heart: "Humph, why are you pretending!"
Mo Ying didn't know Wang Dandan's real intention, so she just bowed politely and replied, "My name is Mo Ying."
"Oh... So you are Miss Mo." Wang Dandan pretended to be in a daze, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised with a barely perceptible sarcasm, "Is there anyone with the last name Mo in the capital? Oh, look at my memory, it's really bad."
Mo Ying was stunned when she heard this, and instantly realized that the other party had something else in his words. He was obviously mocking her for having no background.
However, she didn't know where this malice came from. Perhaps it was because her arrival caused dissatisfaction among some people.
But she was not the kind of weak person who would allow others to mock and bully her at will. If she had not taken into account the current situation, with her temper in the village, she would have already fought with the woman in front of her.
