This is hilarious! Although I don't understand KFC's tactics, the red-haired lady can still figure it out.

Choosing to understand but not forgive already establishes the hierarchy.

Showing him the letter of complaint from his clan and relatives is tantamount to telling him, "Who else but me would be so lenient with you? Even your family wants you dead."

Add to that the work that should have been done before... With this combination of measures, it's already quite good that Lu Baiyan was able to find his way. How could he not obediently listen to him?

He even thought it was his own fault, and kept apologizing.

Qin Yiyan pursed her lips, admitting that she had indeed broadened her horizons at Xu Shi's place.

If it were her, she would actually disdain such psychological tactics. Being straightforward would be more in line with her style, and she would let things be seen through her actions... In short, she was actually quite averse to this kind of scheming and intrigue.

but.

She had to admit that Xu Shi was capable—he won over Lu Baiyan's heart with just a few words... cough, that's a bit ambiguous. It should be said that he gained Lu Baiyan's loyalty without much effort.

It's better to make someone willingly die for you than to threaten them to die, isn't it?

If I remember correctly, this guy's ability seems to be related to this aspect, so did he use his ability on Lu Baiyan? It doesn't seem so.

Goodness.

If it's like this even without using one's abilities, what would it be like if one did?

The red-haired, naive girl was unaware of the secrets surrounding Dongfang Xiao and the Holy Maiden, and the thought of it actually made her a little scared.

However, she also couldn't understand how Lu Baiyan could be so subservient.

This is the difference in mindset—the squinty-eyed girl herself yearns for the outside world, and this was the main reason she was attracted to Xu Shi before, but she is much less interested in this aspect, so it's normal that she doesn't understand.

Moreover, on the other hand, the psychological warfare against Lu Baiyan had already been largely completed, and Xu Shilai's visit today was merely the final touch, so it naturally seemed as easy as could be.

This was something Qin Yiyan couldn't process in a short time, but it was enough to shock her.

She also failed to notice the figure appearing behind her.

"How long do you plan to eavesdrop?"

Xu Shi poked her shoulder mischievously, "My little maid?"
