Cheng Lingyue had been at odds with her since childhood, taking pleasure in tormenting her when they were younger, and it only got worse as they grew up. Every encounter with Cheng Lingyue meant a new difficulty for her.
In theory, their statuses were not much different; otherwise, they wouldn't have been assigned to the same courtyard. Yet, Cheng Lingyue had a fiery temper, while Cheng Lingyu was meek, always appearing like a wronged housewife, which made Cheng Lingyue all the more eager to bully her.
"Oh, let me see, the fifth sister's new dress looks quite nice," Cheng Lingyue commented critically as she examined her skirt.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Lingyu nervously clutched at the hem of her dress, which had been hastily made by her personal maid Xiao Lian, working through the night.
