Chapter 1685: Unthwarted Heart
Sima You Yue took out the invitation, and the expressions of the two servant girls changed immediately and they became respectful almost in that instant.
In her invitation, there was the emblem of their Eldest Miss and that meant that the invitation was sent by the Eldest Miss herself. Such people were the distinguished guests of this banquet, those with both talents and backgrounds.
How could such a distinguished person like this not bring a few servant girls by their side? They were scolding her in their hearts, but on the outside, they had on a decent smile on their face.
“It turned out to be Young Miss You Yue, Eldest Miss has been waiting for a long time, please come with me.” A servant girl saluted Sima You Yue and led her into the other courtyard.
Maybe Sima You Yue’s expression was not very good, and the servant girl did not dare to say anything along the way, and led her to find Yuan Yu Qiu.
“Eldest Miss, Young Miss You Yue is here.” The servant girl announced.
“Come in.” The response was a bit cold.
Sima You Yue went in and saw a woman dressed in white, her head lowered as she was in the midst of painting. There was no one else in there serving her. Hearing the movement, she raised her head and when she saw Sima You Yue, she was stunned for a moment.
“You Yue has seen Eldest Miss Yuan.” Sima You Yue saluted her first.
Yuan Yu Qiu came back to his senses, smiled at Sima You Yue, and said, “You are You Yue? Are you still used to living here these past few days?”
“Very good.” Sima You Yue smiled slightly, “You Yue would also like to thank Eldest Miss Yuan for her care.”
She knew why Yuan Yu Qiu was stunned momentarily just now. After Sima Liu Xuan came back, she had seen a portrait of Yu Ke Luo. She and her Mother were already seven-points similar, but now they were nine-points similar to each other after dressing up. For people who haven’t seen each other for a long time, she can completely be regarded as Yu Ke Luo.
Yuan Yu Qiu came over from behind the table and said, “You look a lot like your Mother. We traveled together in the past, but no one expected your parents to have such a fate.”
“My Mother loves my Father. Although they are separated now, they are both blissful and happy.” Sima You Yue smiled.
“Yes, at that time, the relationship between the two of them was really good.” Yuan Yu Qiu said with emotion, “I heard that your Father has returned? Why didn’t he come with you?”
Sima You Yue cursed in her heart, she really came for her Father! But the smile on her face remained unchanged, and she said, “Eldest Miss Yuan…”
“Your Mother and I were good sisters back then. You don’t need to call me Eldest Miss Yuan, but Aunt Qiu.” Yuan Yu Qiu interrupted her, trying to get closer to each other.
“Aunt Qiu…” Sima You Yue rolled her eyes in her heart and continued: “Some time ago, on the birthday of my Great Grandfather, you should have heard about our Sima family encountering an attack?”
“Yes, that’s where I learned the news of your Father’s return.” Yuan Yu Qiu replied.
“In addition to Green Spirit Sect and the Yu Clan who came then, there were even more powerful people behind, so Father and the others stayed to investigate this matter thoroughly.”
“There are so many people in your family, so you don’t need him to check it yourself. How can he rest assured that you have come so far alone?”
“What’s there to worry about?” Sima You Yue smiled triumphantly at her. “Those Paragons were all solved by me, so whoever wants to do something to me, wouldn’t it be seeking their own death? I hope those people can come to me. I happened to be looking for them to settle the accounts!”
Yuan Yu Qiu’s eyes darkened, and she felt a little panic in her heart. Of course she knew that Sima You Yue didn’t come alone, and there were many Feng Clan staying in her little realm.
Not only she knows, I’m afraid the entire continent knows this. But who dares to have any crooked ideas on her? Unless one is willing to sacrifice dozens of Pinnacle Paragons and be prepared to deal with the Feng Clan, not to mention, one can’t be afraid of Feng Clan’s future revenge.
Anyone who has any Pinnacle Paragons will be respecting them and even almost having them enshrined. Sacrificing dozens of them, no one would do such a thing!
Therefore, it can be said that now, she could almost do whatever she wanted without much care.
“Then your Father is in good health now? Where has he gone all these years? I sent someone to look for him, but there was no news at all.”
Sima You Yue could immediately tell…what nonsense was this about a gathering for young ladies, it was simply asking her about Sima Liu Xuan’s situation.
“My Father is fine, thank you for your concern. It’s just that his mind has been all on my Mother all this time, sigh… it is useless to persuade him.” After she finished, she gave a long sigh.
“Your Mother has already been caught in the Ghost Realm, yet your Father still thinks of her? It’s not that I want to say anything but as his daughter, please persuade him to not brood on it and be more enlightened.”
The corner of Sima You Yue’s mouth twitched when she heard this, she really wanted to scold her “What qualifications do you have to say so?!”, but she endured it and swallowed that sentence. “Aunt Qiu, we are both here but what about the other guests?”
“My Second Sister is already greeting the others, we will head over in a while.” Yuan Yu Qiu said.
Sima You Yue saw her saying this, so she couldn’t say anything else, waiting for her to follow.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Yuan Yu Qiu said again: “You Yue, your Father is investigating all of these, nothing will happen to him, right? If you need anything, you must tell me. My relationship with your parents is very good. If something happens, I will be more than happy to help.”
Tsk, even if I needed help, you wouldn’t be it! Sima You Yue couldn’t bear her pretense any longer and said, “Aunt Qiu, let’s head over to the banquet. I want to meet those talents.”
Yuan Yu Qiu looked at her, resisted the unhappiness in her heart, and said, “Yes, the banquet is also starting soon, let’s go over.”
Yuan Yu Qiu walked in front while Sima You Yue walked a step behind. Up to now, she was still not sure whether the original poison was caused by Yuan Yu Qiu. However, what was certain was that she used her Mother’s relationship to get close to her Father, and she still has a zealous attitude towards her Father. She wants to contact him again.
Hmph! Her Father belongs to her Mother, was he someone other women could think of?
However, it was still a bit difficult to determine if the poison was caused by her! She had to confirm this before the Glazed Gathering was over.
After leaving the courtyard, Yuan Yu Qiu became the one who was rumored to be outside. She didn’t speak nor laugh much and looked very cold.
As soon as she arrived at the banquet hall, she heard the laughter from inside, all the voices of women, and Yuan Qing’s exaggerated laughter.
Yuan Yu Qiu took her in, and all the chatter inside immediately quietened down.
“Eldest Sister, you are here.” Yuan Qing saw Yuan Yu Qiu and ran over, her flamboyant dress really resembled a peacock with an open screen.
“Mm, let me introduce you, this is Sima You Yue of the Sima Clan.” Yuan Yu Qiu introduced Sima You Yue to them. When those people heard her name was Sima You Yue, their gazes cast at her all changed.
Sima You Yue smiled at them, and felt a sliver of murderous intent. The killing intent was fleeting, and when she looked at them again, she could no longer identify who was it emanated from.
