Otherwise, she would have used that energy on jealousy and rivalry, but she didn't.
"...You don't need to compare yourself to others, you've already done very well."
Xu Shi said sincerely that he didn't like to categorize the girls around him into different classes; they were all his thorns.
"Hey, what about me?"
Xie Qingyan couldn't bear to see the two of them being so affectionate in public, and asked a question out of jealousy.
"You?...You did very well too, hmm."
Xu Shi's mind was entirely on the First Madam, and his answers were visibly perfunctory.
This annoyed the woman. Although she knew that asking at this time would only make things awkward, she still felt uncomfortable...
"oh."
So she simply responded and walked out of the warehouse, looking quite dejected.
"Oh? Madam Xie, why did you come out first?"
The young girl, Xiao Mei, was standing guard at the door. She was a little surprised to see that she was alone. "Where are Master Xu and Madam Jiang?"
"Still inside looking at things."
Xie Qingyan replied indifferently.
"oh."
Xiao Mei nodded, noticing her low spirits. "What's wrong?"
"...I'm fine, nothing's wrong."
Of course, that slut wouldn't tell her her true feelings; she just gave her a perfunctory reply.
I originally wanted to vent my anger on Little Curly Hair, but when I looked back, he wasn't there—someone had to keep an eye on the Cat Cult's affairs, and Ye Shanshan and Shen Qin had been in charge these past few days.
So annoying!
"No matter what, I'm a patient now. Shouldn't you take better care of me?"
Thinking this, Xie Qingyan inexplicably felt a bit of girlish emotion, muttering to herself.
"What did you say, Madam Xie?" Little Mei didn't hear clearly.
"……nothing."
Seeing her like this, Miss Xiaomei didn't press the matter further. She thought to herself, "This Madam Xie seems to have always been like this? I felt she was a bit out of place with the others when we were on the island... How come this feeling seems to be getting stronger over time?"
Xie Qingyan sulked outside for half a day before Xu Shi and Jiang Chengcheng finally came out, their lovey-dovey expression on their faces.
"What's wrong with you? It's like someone owes you money."
Seeing this, Xu Shi laughed and said, "Don't be upset, we still have to go to the palace to treat your illness later, don't we?"
"Who's upset? That's enough."
That bitch is stubborn and won't admit it.
"Okay, okay."
Xu Shi saw through it but didn't say anything. He just continued to instruct, "I'll also trouble you, Miss Xiaomei, to organize the things. We'll send some samples over later."
"Okay."
"Are you going to the palace?"
Jiang Chengcheng raised an eyebrow. "Oh, I've heard about it. It's that little empress, isn't it?"
"What little empress... Okay, okay, whatever you say, I won't argue."
Xu Shi wanted to be stubborn, but seeing that the other party obviously knew everything, he agreed.
"If it is, then it is. Why are you hiding it?"
Jiang Chengcheng chuckled, "But I'm also a little curious... should I go with you guys?"
