Qin Yiyan knew, of course, that this guy had ulterior motives, and felt a little ashamed and indignant when she met his gaze.
"...The Imperial Tutor is nothing more than this."
However, she wasn't one to back down easily, and after thinking it over, she retorted, "So, all you can do is use such underhanded tactics to humiliate your opponents?"
"Huh? Is this the first day you've known?"
Xu Shi was very surprised. "I thought you already knew who I was... No wonder you're such a big-breasted, brainless idiot. Can't you even see something so obvious?"
"?"
The knight commander was dumbfounded. What kind of compliment was that? You accepted it so easily?
She wasn't that familiar with Xu Shi, so she wasn't as used to his shameless behavior as she was to others.
The problem is that I said those words in the first place to try and provoke him. Even though I didn't get any benefit from it, at least I got to have some fun.
Now, instead of him being provoked, she herself has become the one who is provoked.
So annoying!
"Besides, whether I'm a scoundrel or not, you chose to stay."
But the worst was yet to come. Xu Shi said leisurely, "I didn't force you. You can still leave now if you want."
This statement implies that Qin Yiyan is certain that Xu Ying will not leave; as long as Xu Ying is still here, Qin Yiyan cannot leave alone.
As I said before, the Hualan Empire has undergone tremendous changes. Even though she knows that her Holy Maiden may have some problems, the red-haired silly girl is still one of her few sources of emotional support.
Xu Shi's few words could not erase the feelings she had built up over the years of serving Xu Ying in an instant.
Of course, Mr. Xu was well aware of this as well. After all, this might be the unique aspect of the arrangement by "Heaven's Law". A similar example is an undercover agent. Even if his identity is exposed, he still retains the means to maneuver.
So, after much deliberation, Qin Yiyan resigned herself to her fate and stuck to her previous choice.
"So you've made up your mind?"
Xu Shi confirmed, "Things don't happen more than three times. You won't have the chance to leave again."
The red-haired older sister's eyes were resolute; she was ready to face all sorts of conspiracies and humiliations to come.
How is she feeling now?
Xu Shi confirmed with Xie Qingyan.
"It should be fine now."
The fiancée glanced at the instrument and said, "At most, she'll be a little disoriented, but some medicine will do the trick."
"That's good."
Xu Shi nodded slightly. "In that case, Commander Qin, you'd better get ready. You'll be in for a lot of trouble later."
"……yes."
Qin Yiyan gritted her teeth, thinking to herself that this guy was really wicked; just by listening to him, she knew what kind of treatment she was going to suffer.
However, given the groundwork laid earlier, she knew very well that now that she was subservient to someone, she would inevitably be sexually assaulted by him sooner or later.
But this happened way too fast... leaving her completely unprepared.
Is this guy really that impatient? And you still say you're not a lecher?!
This made the Knight Commander feel a little uncomfortable. Although she was not young, she only had theoretical knowledge in this area. She had never even held a man's hand in all these years. The atmosphere of the Holy See was relatively reserved. Unlike people like Xu Shi, who would kiss and cuddle in broad daylight.
Fine, I'll just let him bully me for the sake of Her Highness...
"Since you are a maid, you will naturally be responsible for serving and taking care of people, cleaning, washing clothes, and cooking."
She was trying to mentally prepare herself when Xu Shi abruptly changed the subject, calmly assigning her tasks, "Xu Ying is also under your care. Keep a close eye on her at all times. Can you do that?"
"You've come...hmm?"
Qin Yiyan, who had been resigned to her fate, suddenly widened her eyes when she heard something amiss.
That's it?
Cleaning, laundry, cooking, and childcare?
This was beyond the red-haired girl's expectations; it wasn't what she had imagined!
She originally thought that being a maid was just a pretense, a means to break her pride, and that the ultimate goal was nothing more than to molest her and satisfy his male pleasures... After all, she had once been a member of the upper echelons of the empire, and she had heard of similar things before.
But judging from what he said, it seems like he really intends to make her a maid?
She even entrusted the Holy Maiden to her care... This couldn't be more to her liking, right?
It can only be said that Mr. Xu's perverse sense of humor has never changed. His method of playing hard to get is always effective. He can make the other person's heart fluctuate wildly without doing anything while discussing the most ordinary topics in a sour atmosphere.
But he insisted on pretending to know nothing. "What? You can't even do something this simple?"
"Or... do you think I should do something else to you?"
How was Qin Yiyan supposed to answer that?
You can't exactly say, "Oh, I thought you lecherous thief would do *that* to me first and then *that* to me," can you? Wouldn't that make you seem cheap, like you're begging him to do it?
Yes, if she says it, then it's her problem.
"No."
So she could only shake her head and say as calmly as possible, "I understand."
"Speak with respectful titles."
Xu Shi made a light correction.
"Understood... Master."
Qin Yiyan had no choice but to reluctantly make up for it.
That's why Xu Shi is such a scoundrel. Just when you think he's going to do something serious, he'll act all serious with you. Just when you think the matter is over, he'll insist on making a fuss over these trivial details.
Its main characteristic is its mischievousness.
