Chapter 1719: Chapter 1719: Sowing Discord 2

"Skirts aren’t convenient." Her Majesty the Empress hesitated between jeans and sweatpants.

Xia Chuyan was even more confused. "Why not convenient?"

"What if we run into some pervert? I have to defend myself... ah no, I mean, I have to be able to run away."

Xia Chuyan, "..."

Girl, you’re overthinking this.

With Summer and Nan Yi around, you think you’ll need to lift a finger if a pervert shows up?

Besides, public security in Xia Country is so good. How would there be perverts in broad daylight? 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Speechless.

"Second Sister, do you think men all like women in skirts?"

"Of course. Wearing a skirt is ladylike."

"Really?" Her Majesty the Empress’s eyes lit up. She was totally a lady.

So, she quickly pulled on the sweatpants, then dug out a long white skirt and put it on over them.

Perfect. Ladylike and still able to defend herself.

That’s how people dressed in ancient times: pants inside, skirt outside. So convenient, and warm too.

Unlike now, with bare legs in a skirt, one gust of wind and you’re flashing everyone.

Xia Chuyan, "..."

She was almost unable to comprehend what kind of bizarre operation sweatpants + skirt was.

She walked over and yanked off Xia Weibao’s pants. "You think this is ancient times? Wearing pants under a skirt."

"But it’s convenient."

"If you want convenience, just wear pants."

"But I’m a lady."

Xia Chuyan no longer wanted to speak.

"Fifth Sister, what exactly is going on between you and Summer?"

"What could be going on? Just host and guest, obviously."

"Are you two dating?"

Xia Weibao, "..." "No."

That was the plain truth. She really wasn’t "dating" Lu Hualiang; they’d been married ages, okay.

"You’re even going to hide it from your Second Sister? Fine, if you don’t want to talk, I won’t force you, but there’s something I have to remind you of: the election is about to start.

Winning over Summer is important, but you can’t ignore the competition itself."

Xia Weibao waved her hand carelessly. "Got it. The first round is cohesion of people’s hearts. Xia Yongxuan has been cultivating in the Xia Family for over ten years, and I’ve only been here a little over ten days. No matter how hard I try, I can’t beat her. No need to waste the effort."

In the Xia Family, probably hardly anyone supported her. Since that was the case, why waste the energy.

There were three rounds in the election anyway. She just had to win the latter two.

Xia Chuyan still wanted to say something, but Xia Weibao dragged her away.

All seven of them were handsome men and beautiful women. Just standing on the main street, you could imagine how eye-catching they were.

They instantly became the focus.

Lu Hualiang’s face darkened, Nan Yi’s gaze grew even more gloomy and delicate, and though Long Xuanye didn’t show much expression, his displeasure was obvious.

Yang Zixin didn’t care. He was here as a backdrop anyway.

Xia Chuyan had things on her mind, so she wasn’t in high spirits, just walking along with them.

Xia Yongxuan was turning over in her head how to get closer to Summer, and also stayed silent.

Only Xia Weibao acted like nothing was wrong. Seeing the bustling commercial street, her eyes were almost dazzled by all the bright colors.

She dragged Xia Chuyan around everywhere, completely tossing her dear husband to the back of her mind.

Seeing Lu Hualiang walking behind them with a gloomy face, the corner of Xia Yongxuan’s lips curved in a barely noticeable smile, then she deliberately fell back a few steps.

And walked side by side with Lu Hualiang.

Her gaze turned gently toward Xia Weibao, full of thick sisterly affection.

Then she said in a "casual" tone, "Fifth Sister looks really happy. She’s in her twenties, yet living like a child. I really envy her for having a husband who dotes on her so much.

Their marriage must be very loving for Fifth Sister’s Husband to pamper her into such a carefree life."

As she spoke, she watched Lu Hualiang’s expression from the corner of her eye, deliberately putting extra weight on the words "husband" and "loving marriage."
