Bai Yue used to wonder how her creepy second older brother managed to get himself into the position of youngest minister of the dynasty in her past life. Now, facing his crafty look, she guessed he truly was only a fool when dealing with private matters. It didn't explain where he heard about the deal between the Emperor and their father though.
At her question, Bai Chen peered at her with his eyes curved into two sparkling crescents. "I don't remember talking about you... Or did I? But, sister, I'm confused. What do the Emperor's unrefined tastes have to do with you? Unless, of course, you want to enter the palace. I'd be happy to help you."
Next to him, Bai Hua jumped to the defense of her brother. "Do you think everyone is like you? Calling people names and then scheming against them, even going as far as framing them? Little sister, you should discard this idea and take a good look at yourself in a mirror. Only a ghost would like an ugly girl like you."
