For some reason, Xia Ruqing felt that the brilliant sunlight shining on her face had become piercing. Seeing that Xia Ruqing did not respond, Hu Liyi grew even more smug.
She scrutinized Xia Ruqing from head to toe before disdainfully saying, "Lady Xia seems to have gained a bit of fullness, looking much rounder than at the beginning of the year." And then she added, "The looks aren't bad, it's just a pity about the clothes!"
Hadn't you shown off enough just a moment ago? Bad clothes? When you were an Honored Lady, were you running around bare-bottomed? You've only just climbed up the ranks for a few days; aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock? Xia Ruqing sneered internally.
After Hu Liyi finished speaking, she shook her head and sighed as if it were such a pity. "Such a waste of Lady Xia's good looks, just a shame about her low birth… Otherwise, it would be me receiving salutations today…"
