Upon hearing this, Qingluan's expression paused slightly. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that you might not have thought anything was wrong with what she just said, but she subtly labeled you as ignorant."
Chi Hu's handsome face was smiling, revealing some of his tiger teeth, making him look exceptionally sunny.
"I don't know any better?"
Qingluan frowned slightly. "Why?"
"She's worried about you getting cold, and you actually don't want her to bother Master. But to others, these words will only make her seem intelligent and generous, while you appear particularly inconsiderate. She braved the freezing snow to see Master, yet you're unwilling to let her come. Aren't you being inconsiderate?"
Chi Hu's long speech was like a tongue twister, but fortunately, he explained it in an easy-to-understand way, and Qing Luan understood it after hearing it only once.
She frowned and thought about it carefully, and finally understood why she had felt something was wrong.
Seeing her furrowed brows relax, Chi Hu knew she understood what he had just said. He chuckled, "Qingluan, you'd better talk less and more when you're with her. When it comes to scheming, you can't outmaneuver her."
"Why are you telling me this?"
Qingluan's gaze fell on Chihu, and she slowly lowered the sword she had picked up, a hint of doubt in her eyes. "Besides, she has no reason to target me, does she?"
Qingluan had heard a lot about the scheming between women.
Back in the Qi Kingdom, rumors of palace intrigue and power struggles often circulated, so Qingluan had heard of them, but had never witnessed them firsthand.
It wasn't until Chi Hu's words that she finally understood.
"I'm afraid you'll get played to death by her without even realizing it."
Chi Hu chuckled. "Don't forget her feelings for me. You and Miss Mo have such a good relationship, do you think she wouldn't target you?"
"she……"
“Qingluan, sometimes you can’t judge a person by their eyes alone,” Chihu interrupted Qingluan, pointing to his heart. “You have to use your heart.”
After saying this, Red Tiger left, his figure as elusive as a ghost, and he quickly disappeared.
Qingluan slowly withdrew her gaze and stood there for a long time.

Shangguan Mansion.
After washing up and leaving the courtyard, Mo Shisheng felt something was wrong, as if someone was secretly watching her.
Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao hadn't had a proper rest because they had been watching over her the night before, so she was urged by Jiang Ge to go and rest.
She sat alone in the empty courtyard, the feeling of being watched growing stronger. Mo Shisheng's soft red lips curved slightly, "Since you're so determined to let me find you, why bother hiding?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a man in red sat down opposite her, his alluring face making it almost impossible to tell whether he was male or female.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
Mo Shisheng glanced at him indifferently, straightened her teacup, and took a small sip. "Did Ming Beiya send you?"
That hit the nail on the head.
Gui Su raised an eyebrow, but his burning gaze remained fixed on Mo Shisheng's left cheek.
Frowning slightly at the intense gaze, Mo Shisheng's eyes flashed with coldness as she placed the teacup on the table, radiating displeasure.
"What would you do if I came here on my own?" Although he looked androgynous, his deep, magnetic voice immediately revealed that he was a man.
Having received a reply, Mo Shisheng lazily said, "Not good. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
