Chapter 773

The moment she stepped into the hall, Yu Xue Yao heard the sound of a man and woman laughing and flirting inside. Her brows furrowed, disgust flickering in her eyes.

She swiftly concealed her expression and pretended not to understand anything. Following the others into the hall, she respectfully bowed. "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Mm." The Third Princess responded, then looked at the two men seated across from her. "Father, Mother, this is Yao Er, my younger sister, Xue Yao."

"So it's Second Uncle and Second Aunt." Yu Xue Yao called out sweetly.

"Good child, come let Second Aunt have a look. You've gotten thinner." Yang Mengying beckoned Yu Xue Yao over and carefully examined her from head to toe. Though she was dressed simply, it could not conceal her delicate, beautiful features or graceful figure. Yang Mengying could not help praising her. "Xue Yao is truly lovely."

"You flatter me, Second Aunt." Yu Xue Yao modestly replied, her gaze falling on the empty seat beside the Third Princess. "Hm? Why haven't I seen Fourth Brother today? Where did he go?"

Yang Mengying smiled as she explained, "Your Fourth Brother played far too wildly last night. He's still sleeping soundly now." Her words were full of indulgence and pride.

"Oh, then once Fourth Brother wakes up, I'll personally go fetch him," Yu Xue Yao obediently answered.

"Don't go troubling Little Four. He hates getting tired the most." The Third Princess hurriedly stopped her. "You should know that even inviting him for a cup of tea is harder than ascending to heaven!"

After saying that, she turned to Second Uncle and asked, "Father, what do you think of Yao Er?"

Second Master remained silent for a long while before finally nodding. "Not bad. Her appearance and manner of speech are both excellent.
