Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress - Chapter 1206

Chapter 1206: Dog Eat Dog

Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin were seated together beneath the porch by the lake, with a platter of fruits and snacks on the stone table in front of them. The porch was large and contained a corner where one could practice the four arts or brew some tea. It added a touch of grace to the place.

The porch was located in the middle of Boya Pavilion and when seated on it, one would be able to see a century-old cinnamon tree. It was fall in October where the cinnamon was fragrant and the golden yellow leaves covered the branches. The flowers smelled sweet and refreshing as well.

Lin Yingxin looked at Xia Ruya and said, “This must be your first time here at Boya Pavilion. Why don’t you take a stroll around the place with the other heiresses? You must understand that Boya Pavilion is not always accessible and you’d have to wait three years to see it again if you miss it this time.”

Lin Yingxin shifted her gaze onto the groups of heiresses in the garden who were strolling around the compound and chatting excitedly and boisterously, perhaps because they were very interested in Boya Xuan.

Since it was their first time there, they ought to do something.

Xia Ruya looked down and picked up the cup of jasmine tea in front of her before taking a sip slowly. “Those heiresses probably don’t know that you can enjoy a picturesque view of the Man Garden when seated in the porch.”

The view of Boya Pavilion’s courtyard was exquisite, but one would easily grow sick of it after looking at it for a few times.

Lin Yingxin could not help but take a look at Xia Ruya, whom she felt was behaving bizarrely after she brought up the topic about Boya Pavilion. However, she could not find a reason.

Xia Ruya raised her head slowly and held Xia Ruya’s gaze. She smiled and said, “There’ll be plenty of chances for me to take a stroll around the garden later.”

Lin Yingxin looked away and exclaimed, “Yeah!”

The two of them were just friends on the surface. Hence, a strange and awkward silence filled the air after they stopped talking.

At this moment, Xia Ruya abruptly exclaimed, “Look over there!”

Lin Yingxin looked in the direction of Xia Ruya’s gaze and exclaimed, “It’s Ye Feiyu. What is she doing here!?!”

She had never heard any news of Ye Feiyu joining the Heiress’ Gala. To her knowledge, Ye Feiyu did not receive an invitation at all. Besides, Ye Feiyu was not the kind to be interested in attending the Heiress’ Gala. In that case, what was she doing here?

Xia Ruya smirked and said, “I heard that Ye Feiyu is close friends with Wen Xinya! The Ye Family is a renowned family of scholars in Capital city and they enjoy a good reputation. It’d be a piece of cake for them to get an invitation.”

The women of the Ye Family were known to be talented and Ye Feiyu was no exception. Although Ye Feiyu did not like the idea of the Heiress’ Gala, she could not stop Wen Xinya from attending. Having had experienced Lin Yingxin’s scheming tricks before, she was undoubtedly well aware of what Lin Yingxin was like. She knew that Lin Yingxin had an ulterior motive for inviting Wen Xinya to the Heiress’ Gala. Hence, she decided to attend because she was worried about her friend.

Lin Yingxin had a sullen expression on her face. Although Xia Ruya did not voice her opinions openly, she knew what exactly she was driving at. “I didn’t think of this. Feiyu is my cousin and I’ve always known her to be willful and ill-tempered. Even my uncle can’t tolerate her temper. I wonder what Wen Xinya fed her with to convince her to attend the Heiress’ Gala.”
