Qi Zhenzhen was infuriated by Bai Su's righteous demeanor. What did she mean, 'If he doesn't ask me to stay by his side, then by staying here with you, I can see him more often'? Was this a blatant provocation?
Taking several deep breaths, Qi Zhenzhen finally suppressed her anger. "I will not agree to you staying. If you continue to use the medicinal oil as an excuse, then I will have to resort to using my status."
"Don't be like that. Look, I've been by your side for several days. You know what kind of person I am. I don't stir up trouble, and I'm not picky about food or lodging. All I need is a place to stay. I know martial arts, and if you encounter danger, I can save you," Bai Su said ingratiatingly.
"Have you no shame? My wife is pregnant. If you cause her any harm, I'll chop you!" Er Xi said in exasperation.
"Qi Zhenzhen, don't be angry. I have no other choice. If you can persuade him to accept me, I will disappear from your sight immediately," Bai Su continued in a low, submissive tone.
Bai Su also felt wronged. She thought about her life in the village, where everything was done according to her wishes, and everyone catered to her. But now? Bai Su wanted to slap herself. Was it worth it for a man? As soon as this thought arose, a little figure popped into her mind: It's worth it, it's worth it, who told you you've fallen for him?
"Bai Su, I'm not that magnanimous. I can't share my man with someone else without any reservations. Therefore, it's impossible for you to achieve your goal through me. If he accepts you, I have nothing to say and will gladly make way for you. But until then, I apologize, I can't help you with anything," Qi Zhenzhen said coldly.
"No, only you can help me..." Bai Su said anxiously. "No, wait, do you have some misunderstanding? I'm not trying to share a man with you. Don't you only like your man? So, I understood it as you don't like him. Could it be that you like him while also liking your man? Qi Zhenzhen, this is not right! It's unfair to him!"
With "him" mentioned left and right, Qi Zhenzhen felt her head buzzing. Did Bai Su mean she had fallen for someone other than Gu Sinian?
When did that happen? She didn't even know.
"Wait, can you tell me who you like?" Qi Zhenzhen asked.
Bai Su looked somewhat embarrassed. "Then ask them to leave."
Er Xi instinctively felt that Bai Su was going to threaten Qi Zhenzhen and stepped forward, blocking the space between them. "Don't you think about threatening my madam!"
"Er Xi, it's alright. You and Chun Feng go out first. Don't worry, I have Physician Luo's medicinal powder here. If she tries anything, just knock her out," Qi Zhenzhen said.
Bai Su: To say they would knock me out right in front of me, are you serious?
"Alright, you can speak now," Qi Zhenzhen gestured after everyone had left.
"Xie Chen, I like Xie Chen," Bai Su said with a blush.
Wait, Xie Chen?
Qi Zhenzhen rubbed her ears. Had she misheard?
Xie Chen!
Xie Chen was like an elder to her, wasn't he?
Bai Su actually liked Xie Chen? But the problem was, how did she misunderstand that she liked Xie Chen? This completely unrelated matter, how did she attribute it to her?
Also, Bai Su was at most twenty years old, right?
The Great Qin clan's wife was thirty-six this year, and Xie Chen was the same age as her.
What was Bai Su trying to do?
"How do you know the Earl of Ankang?" Qi Zhenzhen asked.
This matter was a bit difficult to handle. The Earl of Ankang was clearly interested in her mother-in-law, and Bai Su's sincere feelings might be in vain.
