Chapter 004 Acting

Qian Ge looked at Xue Qiandai with cold eyes, just like in their past life. She didn't offer a genuine apology, only heard her boasting about her kindness. In their past life, Qian Ge had been moved by these words to the point where she didn't confront the Lu family. She took the blame for the theft, which led to her being framed by the Lu family again. Except for her sister, no one was willing to believe her.

"Little sister, don't say that," Xue Qianwu, just like in their past life, said, moved as she held Xue Qiandai's hand. "You also have a kind heart. There's no need for any blame. It's not your fault."

"Elder sister..." Xue Qiandai looked surprised, her smile frozen on her face. It seemed she had never expected Qian Ge to say such things, and she didn't know how to react.

"Qian Ge, what are you saying?" Xue Qianwu looked at her in confusion.

"I'm saying that of course, the blame should be on little sister," Qian Ge looked at Xue Qiandai and smirked. "Didn't little sister just admit it was her fault?"

Xue Qiandai's eyes flickered, and she said with a sense of grievance, "Elder sister, what you said is right. It was indeed little sister's fault. I wonder what elder sister wants in order to forgive little sister for this mistake?"

Qian Ge sneered inwardly and glanced at her sister. She saw her frown when she heard the words "mistake" and saw a hint of disapproval in her eyes when she looked at her.

"What do I want?" Qian Ge said mockingly, "Of course, I want little sister to explain the truth about the hairpin to grandmother, father, and mother."

Xue Qianwu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and scolded with a smile, "You little brat, you were just joking and teasing us."

But Xue Qiandai's heart skipped a beat. She didn't miss the emphasis on "the truth about the hairpin." Her first reaction was that Qian Ge knew, but her second reaction was that it was impossible. She wanted to carefully observe Qian Ge's expression, but there was no hint of mockery, only mischievous amusement.

Could it be that she had misunderstood? Xue Qiandai looked at Qian Ge suspiciously for a moment, but found nothing unusual, so she let go of her worries. After all, even if she was found out, without evidence, who would believe the words of this foolish woman?

Xue Qiandai no longer paid attention to Qian Ge's expression. How could she clarify the truth? It was impossible! Just as she was about to play the victim again and speak out her prepared excuses, Qian Ge spoke first, "Little sister came to apologize, didn't she? Can't she even agree to such a small request from her sister?"

Xue Qiandai's words were stuck in her throat.

Xue Qianwu smiled and said, "I was also thinking that we should clarify this misunderstanding today. It's not a big deal for Qian Ge to be beaten, but her reputation has been tarnished. It would be best for little sister to explain to grandmother and father and mother."

Xue Qianwu's eyes flickered, and she subtly signaled to her maid, Huamei, who then spoke softly, "This is little sister's fault. If elder sisters don't say anything, little sister will definitely go and explain."

Huamei immediately anxiously exclaimed, "Miss, you can't go! Madam, she..."

"Huamei!" Xue Qiandai gently reprimanded.

"Miss," Huamei stamped her foot, "I know you are kind, but..."

"The maid by little sister's side is usually the most disciplined," Qian Ge interrupted Huamei, half-smiling. "What's happening today? We are three sisters having a conversation, yet this maid interrupts. Do you think our Mingyu Pavilion is a place without rules, or is this maid hiding something?"
