"Miss Qiuju, you don't need to report this to Yueniang. If she knew that I had gone to my senior brother to get money again, she would definitely not accept it."
Qiuju: "Is...this okay?"
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay." Nangong Zeyue left.
Qiuju turned around, went back into the house, and sat there in a daze, wondering, "Should I tell her or not?"
