Heaven help me, even the usually formidable Qiu Mingyan was so frightened by them that she couldn't speak coherently.
Zhu Jiayu thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "It should be alright, right?"
Although she was also worried about Qiu Boyan, the look Qiu Boyan gave her before leaving must have reassured her.
Qiu Mingyan exclaimed "Oh dear!" and before she could say anything more to Zhu Jiayu, she lifted her skirt and followed Qiu Boyan and Fu Liu, who had not gone far.
Zhu Jiayu calculated Qiu Mingyan's fighting strength and felt that she should be fine against Ji Huanjin alone. Besides, Qiu Boyan could cheer her on. So she relaxed and ignored them, enjoying her tea and snacks in peace.
"Cousin Huanjin, Fuliu told me you were looking for me?" Qiu Boyan was led by Fuliu to Ji Huanjin's room, but instead of knocking, she stood outside the door and affectionately called out to Ji Huanjin, then spoke to her in her usual tone.
Upon hearing this, Ji Huanjin nearly vomited blood from anger.
She asked through gritted teeth, "Why are you standing outside the door, cousin? Come in! Don't you find it hard to talk to me standing so far away?"
She had already decided that once Qiu Boyan came in, she would definitely ask her what she had done to wrong Qiu Boyan and why she had hurt her like this!

Qiu Boyan! You bitch!
Ji Huanjin's face contorted as she cursed her inwardly.
"Why isn't my cousin saying anything? If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. But don't worry. Although many people witnessed what happened today, I think they wouldn't spread it around and ruin my reputation unless they got something out of it, right?" Qiu Boyan continued to provoke her.
But at the same time, it was also a reminder to her not to go too far, otherwise she could have those "witnesses" spread the news about what happened today.
Ji Huanjin understood what she meant. She gritted her teeth in resentment but dared not speak again, fearing that Qiu Boyan would be unethical and ruin the image she had worked so hard to build.
