Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101: A Generous Gift
Xia Weibao raised an eyebrow, “This seat isn’t yours, why can’t I sit here?”
Yan Yuexian’s mouth opened slightly. What she said made so much sense, there was no way to retort.
“Why are you sitting next to me? Are we that close?”
Xia Weibao leaned her hand on the table, looking at her with a half-smile, “Not close, but I like beauties, and when I see a beauty, I just want to get a little closer.”
Yan Yuexian was taken aback for a moment, and then her face turned red.
Her face wore an expression of “strangers keep away,” but inside she felt a bit delighted.
She said I’m a beauty, how embarrassing.
Clearly very happy, but pretending to be indifferent, which made Xia Weibao want to laugh.
Awkward kids are really not cute.
She silently observed Yan Yuexian’s face.
The surface wounds had started to heal, leaving some faint marks, but they were covered with foundation.
The flesh on her nose and chin hadn’t fully grown back, but somehow Yan Yuexian managed to create the visual effect of a high nose and sharp chin.
Her Majesty the Empress was amazed by modern makeup techniques, praising their great skill in facial correction.
Fortunately, Yan Yuexian handled it well, so the issue shouldn’t be too big.
This put her at ease.
“Cousin, why did you come over here? Made me search so hard.”
Yan Weiyang’s voice came from behind, Xia Weibao turned her head and saw the woman who just bumped into her standing next to Yan Weiyang.
The two were talking and laughing, looking very close.
Xia Weibao’s eyes slowly narrowed, a thought struck, and her hand suddenly reached into her bag, feeling through the items.
Sure enough, she felt a hairpin that didn’t belong to her.
She sneered inwardly, this method of framing is really… basic.
Did they think her reign as the Imperial Harem’s overlord was mere talk, using such a petty trick?
Yan Weiyang and Zhang Fanfan seemed not to notice Xia Weibao at all, passing her to sit on the other side of Yan Yuexian.
Suddenly, Xia Weibao took out a makeup mirror from her bag.
This action made Yan Weiyang and Zhang Fanfan a bit nervous, fearing Xia Weibao might discover the setup.
If Xia Weibao found the hairpin now, it would be troublesome.
However, Xia Weibao simply took out the makeup mirror, checked her makeup briefly, and put it back.
She didn’t notice anything amiss.
Only then did they relax, chatting away with Yan Yuexian.
When Xia Weibao put the makeup mirror back, she had already seen the hairpin inside the bag.
It was a willow leaf-shaped hairpin encrusted with diamonds, and just by looking at the diamonds, its value was evident.
If she wasn’t mistaken, this hairpin belonged to Yan Yuexian.
When Yan Yuexian arrived, she had noticed it. Today’s sunshine made the diamond hairpin sparkle brightly, very eye-catching.
Xia Weibao sneered internally, if later Yan Yuexian’s hairpin went missing and was found in her bag, the outcome was predictable.
The charge of being a thief would be inevitable, and among these high society people, theft was the most despised crime.
She quietly observed Yan Yuexian. Did she know about this?
If Yan Yuexian was in on the setup with Yan Weiyang, it would be truly disheartening.
After all, she had even taught her the Fuxi Finger Technique and helped her in so many ways.
Xia Weibao lowered her eyes, from a distance seeming like no one was paying attention to her, so she was daydreaming.
But under the table, her hand quickly brushed past Yan Yuexian’s waist, and the diamond hairpin was now clipped onto her waistband’s bow.
Since Yan Weiyang wanted to frame her, she would return the favor with a big gift!
