CHAPTER 470: CHAPTER 160 BIRTHDAY BANQUET (2) DIRECT ACCUSATION

During the birthday celebration.

All eyes were appreciating Xie Ruotong and Xie Ruilin’s Guqin music performance.

Suddenly, Xie Ruilin stood up and left.

Without Xie Ruilin playing, the wonderful sound of guqin became even more melodious.

Xie Ruilin naturally felt uncomfortable, she gritted her teeth, walked to the center of the stage, stood in front of all the Dancers, then began, moving her own figure.

She couldn’t believe that her dance wouldn’t dazzle everyone present.

From a young age, she had always been praised as she grew up.

This time, she was determined to outshine everyone and steal the show.

To let everyone see how unique Xie Ruilin is.

To make everyone clear that she, Xie Ruilin, is not meant to be a concubine; she should rightfully be the main wife, and after exposing Xie Ruotong and humiliating her, rightfully become Song Yanqing’s official wife.

Xie Ruilin’s dancing instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

A woman who dances well naturally has advantages.

Everyone who saw Xie Ruilin was captivated by her posture.

Not a few in the audience praised, "It is said that all the daughters from Duke Mansion are outstanding, capable of singing and dancing, and versatile. Witnessing this today, I truly admire them."

"The eldest daughter of the Duke Mansion is brilliant in guqin, and the second daughter has graceful dance moves. The Duke Mansion indeed is a place full of talents."

"Song Yanqing truly has accumulated eight lifetimes of good fortune, to be able to marry such beautifully talented women as wives, truly enviable."

During the birthday celebration, while watching the performance on the stage, discussions buzzed around.

After completing a challenging dance, Xie Ruilin received spontaneous applause from the audience.

Xie Ruilin naturally felt very proud.

She just knew it.

Once she danced, she would certainly dazzle the entire audience.

She could even imagine that all the men below, watching her graceful figure, would want to possess her.

She stopped.

Her cheeks flushed.

Her look was also breathtakingly beautiful.

A flicker of malevolence passed through her eyes, and at that moment she beautifully spun around right beside Xie Ruotong.

She bent down and grabbed the hand of Xie Ruotong that was playing the guqin.

The sound of the guqin suddenly stopped.

The atmosphere at the birthday feast felt suddenly as if it had lost its soul.

It felt like something was missing.

Luckily.

As soon as the sound of Xie Ruotong’s guqin stopped, the sound of a flute began on stage.

The melodious sound of the flute lingered, unending like threads in the air.

Xie Ruotong looked at Xie Ruilin’s actions at this moment with some astonishment.

A few days ago, Xie Ruilin mentioned she wanted to go on stage to give Ming Yufang a surprise, initially she refused, not wanting to please others with talents and dance. As an Assassin, to hide her identity, she had disguised herself in various roles, and as the top courtesan of Yicui Pavilion, she often performed for guests, genuinely tired of it, but Xie Ruilin persuaded her daily, persistently, she ultimately agreed not wanting to deal with Xie Ruilin anymore.

When agreeing, she knew well that Xie Ruilin was definitely not so kind-hearted.

If she wanted to perform, she could do it herself, no need to drag her into it.

Dragging her along was surely to make her look foolish.

She then played into the plan, pretending to be not very good at anything.

If Xie Ruilin had no ill intentions, today’s birthday celebration would truly just be to celebrate Ming Yufang, and no one would be embarrassed.

If Xie Ruilin had bizarre thoughts, she also didn’t need to indulge her.

Ever since that time, when Xie Ruilin falsely accused her in front of Song Yanqing, she had no more hopes for Xie Ruilin.

If Xie Ruilin didn’t provoke her, they would not interfere with each other’s affairs.

If Xie Ruilin caused trouble for her, she would not hold back anymore.

With this mindset, Xie Ruotong naturally was prepared for everything.

So when Xie Ruilin suddenly left the guqin, she still calmly and masterfully played, directly confronting Xie Ruilin’s actions.

Xie Ruotong at this moment seemed confused as she looked at Xie Ruilin.

But Xie Ruilin, exerting all her strength, pulled Xie Ruotong from beside the guqin.

Then under the watchful eyes of everyone, brought her to the center of the stage.

Clearly intending to make Xie Ruotong dance together with her.

This action, in the eyes of outsiders, seemed like a surprise prepared by two sisters for their mother-in-law, also making people feel that the sisters had a good relationship.

The crowd couldn’t help but express their envy again.

"Everyone thought that the second daughter of Xie, becoming a concubine and marrying into the Song Family, would definitely lead to unrest, but unexpectedly, the sisters are so harmonious."

"One can’t help but envy Song Yanqing, this top scorer, indeed has good fortune."

"The second daughter’s dance is so graceful, I wonder how the elder daughter will perform?"
