She should have drawn a turtle, since he liked them, but she felt it was a bit impolite, so she changed it in the end.

"This was specially designed for Lord Xiao."

Feng Liu: "..."

That was a good design, but you're not allowed to design it again next time.

Feng Liu didn't really understand. Shouldn't a normal person feel that their own things are carefully collected by another person, and that they hold a very important place in that person's heart?

How could Miss Shen think that the adults liked the turtle in the painting and the crabapple on the purse?

Is she genuinely unaware, or is she feigning ignorance?

But little did Feng Liu know that Shen Qiyin truly "understood" it!

She wasn't oblivious to matters of the heart, nor did she simply not think about it; it was only because the other person was Xiao Yan.

The one who had the last laugh in their past life.

He meticulously planned and eliminated his rivals, even killing a prince in his quest for absolute power! You're telling someone like that that he kept her painting and purse because he was in love with her?

Are you kidding me!

Xiao Yan was still looking at the painting. Apart from being stunned for a moment at first, he didn't have any other reaction, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

Shen Qiyin hadn't expected him to give any feedback, since she was the one trying to please him.

Moreover, his recent actions in supporting her clearly indicate that he has tacitly accepted her joining his "team".

Before leaving, Shen Qiyin suddenly remembered something, looked at him gently and smiled, "Thank you for the Jade Dew, my lord."

Xiao Yan did not deny it.

This confirmed Shen Qiyin's suspicions.

When she left Qiying Pavilion, her steps were lighter than when she arrived.

She's managed to latch onto this powerful figure!

After leaving Qiying Pavilion, she did not return to Guangrentang, but went directly to the Wuan Marquis's residence.

As they approached Wei Heng's courtyard, a charming woman in yellow approached them. She was the same woman who had been chirping Shen Qiyin behind her back after Xiao Yan took her away last time.

Although Shen Qiyin was unaware of this matter, she recognized the person in question.

Jiang Jiyao is the grandniece of the old lady of the Marquis's family.

After the Jiang family fell into ruin, the old lady took her to the Marquis's residence.

Upon getting closer, Shen Qiyin clearly saw a hint of hostility in her eyes.

She was wondering when she had offended this person when she heard him say in an unfriendly tone, "You're not welcome in the Marquis's mansion! If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now!"
