After a while, Wei Qinglan sneered coldly, "Alright, since little sister can't get over it, Cui Ling, help Xiao Ya to the courtyard and make her kneel! I just woke up, have a headache, and feel suffocated with so many people around!"
Xiao Ya was completely dumbfounded!
She dug a big hole for herself!
Cui Ling never liked Xiao Ya, and immediately went to her side, "Miss, let's go outside!"
Xiao Ya had no choice but to stand up, but Cui Ling didn't even support her, making Xiao Ya so angry that her face almost twisted.
As soon as the two of them walked outside, Cui Ling pointed to the side yard.
"Miss, kneel there, I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll leave first!"
Xiao Ya's face instantly darkened, and she trembled with anger, "Cui Ling, how can you speak to me like this?"
Cui Ling smiled faintly, "Miss, you must be joking. If there's anything you think I said unreasonably, please point it out."
Stunned, Xiao Ya didn't know what to say.
"Moreover, you are not a Miss of the Wei family. Cui Ling's attitude is already showing respect for the young lady. You shouldn't consider yourself a true mistress!" Cui Ling never liked Xiao Ya, and now that her young lady had finally woken up, she no longer served the maid.
Xiao Ya was shaking with anger, glaring at Cui Ling.
Just as Xiao Ya was about to continue speaking, she saw Wei Qingqing, the third Miss of the Wei family, walking into Wei Qinglan's courtyard. Wei Qingqing was the daughter of Wei Qinglan's third uncle. The Wei family's patriarch had three sons, and it was strange that each son had a daughter but no sons. Therefore, Wei Qinglan was the eldest legitimate daughter and held a high position in the Wei family.
"Third Miss!" Cui Ling quickly greeted Wei Qingqing as soon as she saw her enter.
Wei Qingqing looked at Xiao Ya and couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. She had heard that her elder sister had woken up, and sure enough, this girl had come.
Xiao Ya also looked up and locked eyes with Wei Qingqing, the two of them staring at each other intently.
While Cui Ling was speaking, she had already walked up to Wei Qingqing. Wei Qingqing softly said, "I heard that elder sister has woken up, so I came to see her!"
Get out of here! Xiao Ya clenched her fists and silently cursed in her heart.
"Alright, Third Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go inform them, and the patriarch is also here!" Cui Ling said.
Wei Qingqing nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Cui Ling."
Cui Ling was Wei Qinglan's personal maid, so naturally, everyone in the mansion, including the other two Misses, treated her with respect.
Xiao Ya squinted her eyes, waiting for an opportunity. If she had the chance, she would definitely get rid of Cui Ling from Wei Qinglan's side! So many things were caused by this maid!
The courtyard suddenly emptied, leaving Xiao Ya and Wei Qingqing staring at each other.
Wei Qingqing knew that Xiao Ya had always been favored by her elder sister and didn't want to start any conflict with her, so she stood to the side without speaking to Xiao Ya.
"Speaking of coming to see elder sister, you actually came to inquire about whether there's still a spot for you at Tianzhu Gate!" Xiao Ya said coldly.
She hated these girls from the Wei family! Just because they were born into the Wei family, they had so many good things!
Wei Qingqing looked at Xiao Ya, smiled, and shook her head, "So you came to see elder sister for this!"
In an instant, Wei Qingqing had outmaneuvered Xiao Ya!
The two of them locked eyes, and suddenly, Xiao Ya calmed down. Oh no, she was too eager for that spot, and her performance today was terrible.
As she looked up, Xiao Ya met the gaze of Wei Qinglan, and her heart turned cold.
Wei Qinglan's eyes also turned cold, showing no hint of disdain.
"Since Xiao Ya doesn't want to kneel, then leave!"
"Sister, I..."
"That's enough!" Wei Qinglan shouted loudly, stunning everyone in the courtyard.
"I've just recovered from a serious illness and don't want to waste my energy on you. Leave now!"
Even Wei Qingqing, who had just arrived, was dumbfounded. Was this still her elder sister? Normally, her elder sister was extremely kind to Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya choked up instantly, looking extremely pitiful, and ran away.
"Qingqing has arrived," Wei Qingqing hadn't reacted yet, but Wei Qinglan had already spoken.
She wasn't foolish in this lifetime. Xiao Ya was despicable, and she wouldn't tolerate her, but she would love her family even more!
Wei Qingqing nodded in a daze, still unable to figure out how to react to her elder sister's sudden warmth.
Wei Qingqing was slow to react but diligent once she put her mind to something. However, Xiao Ya was clever and quick to learn anything. That's why Wei Qinglan hadn't been very fond of her younger sister.
Now, her elder sister was suddenly so affectionate towards her, leaving Wei Qingqing at a loss for how to respond.
"Qingqing, rest assured, elder sister is already well. You should focus on preparing for the selection at Tianzhu Gate."
The spot at Tianzhu Gate was still hers! Wei Qingqing was dumbfounded once again.
"Why don't you thank your elder sister?" Wei Qinglan's father shook his head. His granddaughter was indeed not as clever as Xiao Ya.
Wei Qingqing quickly curtsied, "Thank you, elder sister."
"Go on, go back and prepare." Wei Qinglan's eyes were filled with tears. They had all died because of her foolishness.
Wei Qinglan's eyes narrowed. That little emperor was too ruthless! He didn't leave a single survivor from the Wei family, regardless of the reason!
He's so heartless!
The little emperor had not yet ascended the throne, so there was still time for everything.
As Wei Qinglan gradually recovered, she began to regain her spirits. In this lifetime, she was determined to make those who owed her pay their dues!
However, Wei Qingqing did not leave at this moment. "Elder sister, I came here to inquire about the selection process of Tianzhu Gate, but also to check on your condition. Second sister has always had difficulty moving, but she cares deeply for you. I will go back and tell her later so she can be at ease. Second sister asked me to tell you that while the selection of Tianzhu Gate is related to the reputation of the Wei family, your health is the most important!"
Wei Qingqing's words shook Wei Qinglan's heart. How much had she missed out on in her previous life!
"Alright, I understand!" Wei Qinglan patted her younger sister's head.
Wei Qingqing smiled slightly, revealing two cute little tiger teeth, and then happily ran off.
"Girl, have you really decided to let the third miss go instead of Xiao Ya?" Wei's grandfather looked at the back of his third granddaughter.
"Grandfather, even though Xiao Ya is clever, breaking bones is connected to tendons. Although the third sister is not as clever as Xiao Ya, she is my own sister!"
Wei's grandfather was taken aback, furrowing his brows, wanting to say something but choosing not to speak further.
At that moment, a servant came to report from outside the courtyard.
"Master, people from the Qi family have sent someone over!"
