Upon considering this possibility, Qin Yeting's expression turned grim.

He stopped talking and turned to leave.

Xia Yue finally found some peace and quiet, and lay down to continue resting.

Two days later.

Xia Yue's injuries have mostly healed.

Holding the thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata, she greeted Assistant Zhou and left.

Assistant Zhou wanted to continue trying to persuade Xia Yue to stay, but then he remembered that the boss had been very cold towards her lately, so he probably didn't care anymore.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to send Xia Yue out.

On her way out, Xia Yue overheard several servants from the Qin family chatting.

The content of the conversation stunned Xia Yue, who couldn't help but clench her fists.

"Have you heard? We're getting a new mistress of the house!"

"What mistress? Could it be that the young master has finally found the one he's been searching for?"

"No, that's probably not true. That person is likely already dead!"

This one, supposedly a princess from country A's royal family, fell in love with the young master at first sight and insists on marrying into the family!

"My God! If the princess becomes the mistress of the Qin family, won't our Qin family rise to a higher level and have an even more prestigious status in China?"

"You bet they'll even give us bonuses and raises!"

Assistant Zhou also heard these words, and his face turned very ugly.

He stepped forward and reprimanded them, "Gossiping during work hours? Do you want to get fired?"

Upon seeing Assistant Zhou, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they all dispersed.

At this moment, Xia Yue also calmed down after a brief period of anger and agitation.

She understood.

I finally understand.
