Chapter 65



65 Enemies on a Narrow Road

Hearing a familiar name, Yu Niaoniao involuntarily stopped.

She turned her head and saw that the door to the private room was not closed. Through the crack in the door, she could see three young women sitting in the private room.

Yu Niaoniao had a good memory and immediately recognized that these three were Yu Fan’s friends.

The last time Yu Pingping invited them to his house for a meal, Yu Qianqian had seen them from afar.

They were Ji Wenjing, the legitimate daughter of the Assistant Minister of Rites, Yang Xianrong, the legitimate daughter of the physician, and Wan Jiatong, the illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

The person who had asked was Ji Wenjing.

Wan Jiatong whispered, “I heard that the emperor only punished the Jiang family and didn’t vent his anger on the Yu family.”

Ji Wenjing snorted. “That’s hard to say. Perhaps the emperor just hasn’t thought of the Yu family for the time being. If he suddenly remembers that the Yu family and the Jiang family are in-laws one day, the Yu family will be in trouble.”

Wan Jiatong was the timidest and immediately became a little afraid.

“Then what should we do? Why don’t we go back? Let’s interact with Yu Pingping anymore.”

Yang Xianrong put down her teacup and said slowly.

“Why are you panicking? It’s all just a guess. Perhaps the emperor doesn’t have any intention of venting his anger on the Yu family at all. Instead of letting your imagination run wild here, why don’t you think about what to buy later?”

Ji Wenjing’s attention was immediately diverted. She hurriedly said, “I heard that Shu Yuezhuang has a new batch of good materials. There’s good cloud silk satin among them.”

Wan Jiatong hesitated. “But I heard that cloud silk is very expensive.”

Although they were all daughters of officials and dressed very exquisitely, their families were strict and would not give them too much pocket money.

It was not a problem to buy small things usually, but if they bought something too expensive, they would have to think twice.

Yang Xianrong smiled. “The price is not a problem. As long as the things are good, it’s enough. Anyway, someone will pay for us.”

Ji Wenjing and Wan Jiatong asked in unison.

“Who is it?”

Yang Xianrong said calmly, “Of course, it’s Yu Pingping. She caused such a huge misunderstanding last time. Shouldn’t she make it up to us?”

Ji Wenjing and Wan Jiatong seemed to have thought of something and laughed.

Obviously, they all tacitly agreed with Yang Xianrong.

Outside the private room, Yu Niaoniao noticed a waiter walking over and immediately walked away with Dang Gui.

Dang Gui whispered, “Are those three people trying to blackmail Second Miss?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I’m afraid they didn’t just extort her this time. From the looks of it, they must have taken advantage of Yu Pingping in the past.”

Dang Gui did not understand. “But aren’t they like sisters? Why are they treating Second Miss like this?”

Yu said meaningfully, “There’s a kind of sister in this world called the plastic sisters.”

Dang Gui was even more confused. What was plastic? Was it edible?

And enemies were bound to meet.

They bumped into Yu Pingping on their way downstairs.

Yu Pingping had arranged to meet her sisters at the Joyous Imperial Joy Tea House today.

Although they had some misunderstandings before, the sisterhood was still there. What needed to be done had to continue.

She specially dressed up and walked over the threshold with her skirt raised. She walked into the Joyous Imperial Tea Shop, but she bumped into Yu Niaoniao on the way upstairs.

They both stopped.

Yu Pingping blurted, “Why are you here? Don’t tell me you’re following me?”

Yu Niaoniao looked at her in amusement. “Look carefully. I’m walking down the stairs. I arrived at the tea shop before you. How did it result in me following you? If there has to be someone who was following, it should be you.”

Yu Pingping immediately blushed in embarrassment.
