In the blink of an eye, the blame was shifted onto her...

The host was dismissing the guest, she could not stay long, so she gracefully took her leave.

But she did not give up in her heart, she was determined to get close to Shen Chen, to lure him outside, so Miao Qiu’e could poison him.

A wave of desolation filled her heart, the man who was gentle to her in the dream now shunned her like she was a viper.

Once people left.

Only Shen Chen, Ye Zhi, and Qin Yin were left in the hall.

Qin Yin also intended to take his leave, but the future matron left him behind as evidence for confronting the master, feeling exhausted.

Ye Zhi began to throw a fit: "Have you forgotten the kindness of the Ye Mansion now that you have achieved success? You are so heartless and unjust, not even letting me in the door, it’s too much."

The young girl’s questions came one after another.

Shen Chen’s eyebrows were lonely and clear, he did not reply, even if he had a good temperament, her repeated troublemaking was finally a bit excessive.

The little girl he remembered was always gentle and lovely, though a little willful, it was harmless in general.

Swallowing down a bellyful of bitterness, Ye Zhi spoke aggrievedly: "Speak up, and what do you mean by sending those two young servants back, I don’t want a misunderstanding to separate us, so I want to clear things up, I’m doing it for our future, too, you know, in the storybooks, it’s because the protagonists didn’t clarify that they ended up parting ways, I don’t want us to be like that."

The young man seated on the carved purple sandalwood chair with the cyan phoenix and peony motif had a quiet elegance, wearing a grand official robe embroidered with moon-and-sun patterns in bright red silk.

He looked at Ah Zhi with clear eyes: "I sent the young servants back, intending for you to restrain your temper, you were not wrong in what you thought."

Admitting it just like that, without any concealment.

Qin Yin spoke up: "Miss Ye, your recent unreasonable behavior and baseless suspicions have been very annoying, you know Mr. Shen is very busy, you’re just a young lady who enjoys and plays around, how would you understand these things."

"Slap."

A loud slap resounded in the hall.

Ye Zhi looked at her own hand, then at the slap mark on Qin Yin’s face.

She, she, she hit someone...

Silence fell, no one spoke.

For some reason, she was growing more and more irritable, and as Little Traitor’s status rose higher and higher, she felt increasingly insecure, leading her to vent through these outbursts, and just now Qin Yin’s words struck a chord, causing her to slap in a moment of urgency.

She stammered: "You, you as a servant, where, where do you have the right to speak of matters between me and your master."

A cold voice lightly came: "To me, he has never been a servant, Ah Zhi, enough, you and I need to calm down first."

Ye Zhi was shocked.

This kind of voice, when she first came to Daqing and had not yet tried to please Little Traitor, this was how Little Traitor’s voice was.

Before she could think more.

The icy voice came again: "See Miss Ye out of the mansion."

Qin Yin cupped his hands in a salute and said: "Understood." Then turned to face Ye Zhi with a gesture of invitation: "Miss Ye, this way please."

The manner of dismissing someone was fully evident.

Ye Zhi, dazed, followed Qin Yin out, apologizing to him on the way: "I didn’t do it on purpose just now, I acted impulsively, I will send someone with ointment, you should apply it."

"No need, I’m just a servant, it’s inappropriate for me to interrupt the conversations between masters." He rejected her goodwill.

She didn’t say more, following him outside.

Once outside the mansion, Ming Yan was there looking around.
