The Double
Chapter 131 - 131 81 Prospects_3

131: Chapter 81 Prospects_3 131: Chapter 81 Prospects_3 Not mentioning it was fine, but once the matter was broached, Jiang Yue remembered all the injustices she and Jiang Youyao suffered in the Jiang Family, and felt greatly aggrieved; a sour feeling filled her heart, and for a moment, she found herself unable to respond to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li talked to herself, “What a pity, with such beauty and talent like yours, in the future, you might only match with some obscure man.

Let alone being compared with Prince Zhou, you might not even be on par with ordinary sons of the Official Family.

Indeed, to be an ordinary man’s principal wife might not even be better than being a concubine to Prince Zhou.

Such a pity,” she trailed off, shook her head, and sighed, “Comparing oneself with others, and finding oneself wanting, it all comes down to fate.”

Jiang Yue felt even more upset.

In her life, what she detested the most was being looked down upon by others.

Yet, in the Jiang Family, it felt as though any random person could come and trample her at will.

Her heart was filled with hatred, and she was unwilling to be outdone in words, Jiang Yue said, “If that’s my destiny, I naturally can’t compare to Third Sister.

However, Second Sister is quite generous.

Prince Zhou was originally meant to be joined with you in matrimony, but now he has become your brother-in-law, and you still manage to remain so calm.

No wonder they say that one becomes detached from desires after spending time in a temple.”

Jiang Yue thought that Jiang Li’s indifferent demeanor was undoubtedly a facade.

Were she in the same situation, she certainly wouldn’t feel so relaxed.

But whenever Jiang Yue tried to stab at Jiang Li with words of admiration, it always proved fruitless, as if Jiang Li was incapable of getting angry.

Indeed, this time, upon hearing Jiang Yue’s provocative words, Jiang Li simply smiled faintly and said, “What does it matter whether I’m willing?

It’s already like this, and besides, I will also have my opportunities in the future.

Although I won’t be matched with Prince Zhou, I will indeed have options, whereas you, little fifth sister…” She gave Jiang Yue a meaningful glance, but left her sentence unfinished.

Jiang Yue knew what Jiang Li’s unspoken words were: the people Jiang Yue could choose from would never outnumber Jiang Li’s options.

Maybe it was the combination of urgency, anger, and resentment, but Jiang Yue also felt a warmth in her chest and a dizziness in her head, suddenly unsure of what to say.

As Jiang Li spoke, she observed the palace maid who was leading the way out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing that the maid was not at all moved by their conversation, Jiang Li became even more vigilant.

After walking a bit further, another palace maid suddenly appeared, smiling at Jiang Yue, “Consort Li has sent me to take Miss Jiang the Fifth to the side room to choose clothing,” and then turning to Jiang Li with a smile, “Miss Jiang the Second, please go ahead and rest in the room there, once Miss Jiang the Fifth has chosen her clothes, I will escort you back.”

Jiang Li sneered inwardly.

Ji Shuran’s people really couldn’t wait to get Jiang Yue out of the way, putting on a full performance; she smiled slightly, pressed her temples, and said to Jiang Yue, “Since that’s the case, little sister, go ahead.

I have a terrible headache, I will go rest and wait for you in the room.”

Jiang Yue, having been irritated by Jiang Li all the way, naturally wouldn’t say anything disagreeable.

Besides, being able to pick out clothing prepared by Consort Li was somewhat exciting for Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue agreed, and watched as Jiang Li followed the maid who led them initially, continuing forward.

But just as Jiang Li turned around, something suddenly fell from her sleeve.

Being close by, Jiang Yue instinctively bent down to pick it up.

It was a piece of paper.

Just as she was about to call Jiang Li to stop, in the blink of an eye, by the light of the lanterns in the corridor, she saw the writing on the paper clearly.

Jiang Yue’s voice was abruptly caught in her throat.

Standing up with the piece of paper clutched in her hand, she saw Jiang Li’s figure getting further and further away, and her heart raced.

On the paper were details of Zhou Yanbang’s wish to meet Jiang Li in private, seemingly tonight.

Jiang Yue’s first reaction was to bring this note to Ji Shuran and expose Jiang Li’s scandal in front of everyone.

At that thought, her dizziness also seemed to lessen a lot.

Concealing the note in her sleeve, Jiang Yue saw Jiang Li and the maid who had been with her turn a corner in the corridor and disappear from sight.

Only then did Jiang Yue turn around, looking at the maid who was about to take her to pick out clothing, she smiled and said, “My second sister is really careless, not even knowing when she drops something.

I will have to find a way to return it to her later.

Let’s go.”

Jiang Yue then followed the palace maid who had appeared halfway, turning and going in another direction.

Meanwhile, Jiang Li, who was being led by the maid to the tea room, subtly curled her lips into a smirk.

When she dropped the note and yet heard no sound from behind her, she knew then that Jiang Yue had taken the bait.
