Qiu Yue Acting Pitiful (1)

"Sister, what are you doing here?" Qiu Yue asked with a face full of false concern as she looked meaningfully at Mo Ziyan.

"Besides… you're with a man. Don't you feel bad for Brother Lin Hao?"

Indeed, Lin Hao immediately flared up.

"B*tch! I didn't expect you to be so immoral! You've only been here at the Qiu family's medicine garden for a few months and you've already gotten yourself a lover!"

And this man was even more outstanding than he was! That hurt his pride as a man.

Others should never dream of getting anything that he did not want.

Qiu Nuo held a dagger as she dismembered the slain Snow Wolf.

When she had first seen the couple, she had already intended on backing off.

However, Xue Ling had suddenly whispered to her, saying that the sternum of the Snow Wolf was powerful and suitable for making bone needles.

Thinking of this rare opportunity, Qiu Nuo had no choice but to ask Mo Ziyan for a dagger to remove the bones from the beast as quickly as she could at the risk of being exposed.

She had only been halfway through the process when Qiu Yue had appeared.

Qiu Nuo retrieved the bones of the beast unhurriedly and wiped her hands clean before standing up.

"I think you'd better take a look at yourselves before saying anything."

Qiu Nuo's expression was cold, but her words had successfully aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

Lin Hao and Qiu Yue had indeed been rather close to each other lately. Did they really have a shameful secret?

It wouldn't be good for a younger sister to be in a relationship with her future brother-in-law…

"Sister, I think there's a misunderstanding."

Qiu Yue bit on her lips, glancing briefly at Mo Ziyan before looking at Qiu Nuo again.

Compared to all those people, she cared much more about what this man thought about her.

"Is that so? Please tell me what I've misunderstood, my dear sister." Qiu Nuo sneered.

They had already shared the same bed and yet, she was now claiming that it was all a misunderstanding? Did they really treat her like a fool?

Qiu Yue chewed on her lip, answering timidly, "Sister, why do you have to put it this way? I might have a close relationship with Brother Lin Hao, but there's no need for you to be so jealous! It's not Brother Lin Hao's fault that he doesn't like you. Why don't you think about why he doesn't like you? It's wrong for you to blame everything on others!"

Qiu Nuo couldn't help but sneer. This woman was vicious indeed! She had made it seem as though it was entirely her fault that Lin Hao hadn't taken a fancy to her. Because she was useless. There was no one else she could blame.

If Qiu Nuo of the past had heard these words, she would probably have been devastated.

Unfortunately, she had absolutely no interest in a bastard like Lin Hao. Whoever wanted him could have him!

Everyone in the Qiu and Lin families had always favored Qiu Yue.

As such, their dissatisfaction toward Qiu Nuo had only intensified upon hearing those words.

Even they would never take a fancy to a piece of trash like Qiu Nuo, much less Lin Hao, who was destined to be the successor of the Lin family.

On the contrary, a gentle and meek girl like Qiu Yue was the best choice in their eyes.

"Are they your relatives?" Mo Ziyan asked.

"Relatives?" Qiu Nuo raised her brow, laughing slightly. "I guess you could say that. One of them is an adopted daughter of my father and the other is my fiancé. Why do you ask?"

Mo Ziyan laughed. "I'm just curious why an adopted daughter is better dressed than you are. Take a look at yourself. People might very well misunderstand that you're the adopted daughter instead."

Qiu Yue had always paid attention to her appearance. At this moment, she was dressed in a butterfly-tailed robe that exposed her shoulders slightly. Adorning her neck was an expensive ruby necklace that complimented her pale and milky skin. Even the Soul Stick on her waist was adorned with multiple precious stones that glimmered under the sunlight.

On the other hand, Qiu Nuo was dressed in a simple dress. Even the servants of the Qiu family were better dressed. Although she had a Soul Stick wrapped to her waist as well, it looked much more like a burnt piece of firewood because it was covered by rags.

There was no way others would be able to tell that the two ladies were sisters.

Much less that Qiu Yue was an adopted daughter while Qiu Nuo was the real mistress of the Qiu family.

"Well, what can I do?" Qiu Nuo sighed pitifully. "I can't be trained and I can't suck up to others. I deserve to be sent here to Ziying Mountain to grow medicinal herbs."

"So, that's the case. Your younger sister must be the exact opposite of you." Mo Ziyan came to a realization.

There was no way Qiu Yue would allow Qiu Nuo to speak ill of her. Before Qiu Nuo could continue, her tears started to fall. "Sister, how can you say that about me? I know that I'm talented by nature and you're upset about that. Still, that's no justification for speaking to me like that! I've always treated you as my biological elder sister! How could you…"
