Chapter 91 Sister, You're Overdoing It
Yin Yi, dutifully, peeked at them from behind a pillar in the distance.
He Yuhuan noticed him, turned around to look at Zhongli Yueluo, tugged at her sleeve, and glanced to the side.
Zhongli Yueluo caught a glimpse of Yin Yi out of the corner of her eye, and was surprised to find that he was quite responsible.
He then patted He Yuhuan's head, signaling her to follow Yin Yi.
Zhong Liyu narrowed his fox-like eyes slightly and actually stepped forward to take her hand.
This morning, it really made her feel nauseous.
She looked at Zhongli Yuelu with a smile, but her eyes concealed a ruthless intent.
"Sister, how about we have breakfast first, and then go outside the city?"
Zhongli Yueluo withdrew her hand, forcing a smile, and followed behind Zhongli Yu.
They went into the main hall together for breakfast, and the seating arrangement was similar to yesterday.
This time, Zhong Liyu sat next to her for the first time ever.
She picked up a delicate pastry and handed it to Zhongli Yueluo, smiling sweetly and innocently.
"Little sister, try this. It was specially made by the imperial chef; it tastes absolutely delicious!"
Zhongli Yueluo felt goosebumps all over her body. What kind of trouble was Zhongli Yu up to now?
"Sister, you've gone too far with your act," she said coldly in a voice only the two of them could hear.
In the eyes of those prominent families, the two sisters had always had a good relationship.
Her actions aroused suspicion among those who only saw them twice a year.
Zhong Liyu paused, but still smiled, her tone becoming increasingly gentle.
"What are you saying, little sister? My heart is completely sincere towards you, there's no need for pretense."
But in his heart he was thinking, if he didn't pretend to be nice to her here, how could he go outside the city with her to stage a self-inflicted injury?
To ascend to the position of Demon Lord of West Demon Mountain, one must first ensure that the current successor suffers a bad reputation.
After being tormented like this, Zhongli Yueluo almost lost her appetite.
She barely touched the food on her plate and said coldly, "Sister, I'm done eating. Please enjoy your meal."
She looked at her food, which she had barely touched, and smiled even more brightly, though the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Oh dear, why is my little sister eating so little? Is it not to her liking?"
She pretended to be uncomfortable, and when she got up to leave, Zhong Liyu quickly got up and followed her out.
She didn't see any of her three husbands today; Zhongli Yu had specially arranged for them to be separated.
Su Fengjun was still waiting for Zhongli Yueluo, but in the end he received news from the Ghost Guard that she had gone out with the eldest princess.
Knowing the grudges between Zhongli Yueluo and the eldest princess, why would he still go out with her?
He frowned and asked carefully, "Where are the princess and the others going?"
"It seems to be by the river, and there's some kind of sacrificial ceremony going on. The eldest princess invited the princess to go with her."
The ghost guard answered respectfully.
He felt a chill run down his spine; the Heartless River was no good place.
No force has ever been to the bottom of the Heartless River.
All we know is that the He family lives inside, but who can truly know what lives down below?
He was anxious, but Su Fengling hadn't returned home all night. It seemed that the Zisang Clan's influence in the shadows was quite troublesome, and he couldn't handle it alone.
He pursed his lips, stood up and walked out, but still gave some instructions so that Su Fengling wouldn't be unable to find him when she returned.
Zhongli Yueluo and the others walked out of the palace road, keeping at least two meters apart from Zhongli Yu.
But once outside the palace gates, the number of people increased, and Zhong Liyu affectionately took her hand.
The maids beside Tao Xia and Zhong Liyu appeared out of nowhere and followed on both sides.
Zhong Liyu held Zhong Liyueluo's arm tightly and rested her head on his shoulder in a seemingly intimate manner.
She said softly, "Little sister, look how lively the street is! We should take a good look around."
There had been rumors that their relationship was bad, and many people were turning back.
Or you might peek inside the shop and see the two of them getting along well, like they're one person.
Whispers arose: "Are they saying the eldest princess and the second princess don't get along? I thought they were on good terms."
"Oh dear, rumors about things happening inside the palace keep circulating, like the Queen cheating on the Demon King with something..."
Upon hearing this rumor, Zhong Liyu's expression turned slightly dull, then her face turned green, and she gave a wink to the maid beside her.
Subsequently, the people who spread this rumor disappeared.
She pulled Zhongli Yueluo along, and like any other sisters, they strolled through various shops.
While feigning surprise, she exclaimed, "Wow, little sister, this is so pretty! That one is beautiful too!"
But in her heart, she was plotting how to make her move and thinking about getting out of the city as soon as possible.
Zhongli Yueluo couldn't afford to turn against her in front of everyone.
Ren's jaw was clenched so tightly that no one knew how Zhong Liyu could keep up the act!
Just then, a commotion broke out ahead, and Zhongli Yueluo pricked up her ears to listen to what was happening.
As a result, several people rushed towards them, and Zhong Liyu, as if she knew in advance, leaned into her arms.
Her expression was feignedly gentle, but a glint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
A soft, boneless hand touched her waist, but she didn't have the token on her person.
Despite her resentment, she said sweetly, "Oh dear sister, that was close! Thank goodness you were here with me."
Zhongli Yueluo held the deer token that could prove her identity in her hand and shook it.
"What were you touching just now, sister? Were you looking for this?"
Zhong Liyu's lips twitched, but he wasn't angry at being exposed.
"How could that be? I just lost my balance. Don't misunderstand, sister."
Zhongli Yueluo really didn't want to waste time here with Zhongli Yu.
Turning her head, she said, "Taoxia, prepare two sedan chairs. Sister is tired."
"One roof, my sister and I rode together."
Zhongli Yuelu did not refute this, as the Deer Shadow Guard would protect her safety from the shadows.
She got into the sedan chair and sat down close to Zhongli Yueluo.
He pretended to be affectionate as he held her hand, but a calculating glint flashed in his eyes.
"Little sister, it's been so long since we rode in a sedan chair together. Are you happy?"
Zhongli Yueluo sneered: "Whether I'm happy or not, can't you tell, sister? There's no one here anymore, so why bother pretending!"
Even when faced with her cold demeanor, she remained unmoved.
She gently covered her mouth with a handkerchief, chuckled softly, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Oh dear, my little sister's thoughts are so hard to fathom. How could I possibly know?"
Zhongli Yueluo shut her mouth and didn't speak. Zhongli Yu looked at her with a smile, then looked out the window.
They gradually left the bustling main street and headed towards the city gate.
In the past, there were only a few small vendors outside the city gates, and people of various ethnicities mingled together.
However, the area outside the city was also exceptionally lively during the lantern festival. Although it was only morning, there were already many people there.
After Zhongli Yueluo left the city gate, she sat up straight.
She couldn't figure out Zhong Liyu's thoughts. Did she want to harm her by the Heartless River? But how would she do it?
