Chapter 844
Even though Doukou had already expected that Huo Zhao wouldn't stop her, she didn't expect Huo Zhao to be so efficient and to let her see Qi Jing so quickly.
However, Doukou was not an indecisive person, and she actually went directly to the Marquis's mansion with Huo Zhao.
Huo Zhao personally escorted Doukou to Qi Jing's courtyard, left Le'an behind, and went back himself.
Qi Jing had just been exhausted last night and wasn't in much spirits, but when she saw Dou Kou coming over, she forced herself to cheer up, tidied herself up carefully, and then went out to see her.
No matter what, Qi Jing was a cousin of the Shen family, and her own family was not bad either. At this time, she was dressed up in a brocade dress, adorned with pearls and jade, and naturally luxurious. Compared with the simple clothes of the young girl, she was like heaven and earth.
Seeing the contrast between the two, Le'an couldn't help but curl her lips in disapproval.
What's the use of dressing up so beautifully? She's still just eagerly trying to steal someone else's man and become his concubine.
She really didn't know what Qi Jing was thinking.
Sometimes I feel sorry for Qi Jing, and sometimes I feel that even pitiful people have their hateful aspects.
Compared to Qi Jing's aloofness, Dou Kou's demeanor was much more ordinary.
Doukou, neither humble nor arrogant, looked Qi Jing up and down, then sighed: "It's such a pity that someone as good as Miss Qi has to go to such lengths for a man."
Qi Jing sneered: "Getting straight to the point so quickly, it seems Miss Doukou isn't exactly a patient person."
Doukou smiled and said, "Since I've come here, I naturally have my reasons. Instead of wasting time by hiding things, let's get to the point so that Miss Qi can get some rest sooner, right?"
Her unspoken meaning wasn't hard to understand. Qi Jing blushed, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
“Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, Miss Qi knows best,” Doukou said expressionlessly. “Miss Qi, do you know what you’re doing right now?”
Qi Jing's face paled slightly, but she still said, "I didn't do anything. If you dare to talk nonsense and ruin my reputation, I won't let you get away with it!"
Le An twitched the corner of her mouth: "Miss Qi, Dou Kou hasn't said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Qi Jing glared at Le An with resentment, but ultimately said nothing more.
Le'an is Huo Zhao's person; she can't afford to offend her.
But in the end, Le'an was just a servant.
How dare a servant speak to her like that... Even the eunuchs from the palace always speak to her with a smile! So what if Le'an is someone close to Huo Zhao? Is she more valuable than someone from the palace?
Thinking of this, Qi Jing couldn't help but speak up: "Le'an, doesn't your cousin-in-law need your care? What are you doing here? Don't forget your duty as a maid!"
Le An laughed directly: "Since I am here, I am naturally acting on the young mistress's orders. There is no need for Miss Qi to remind me!"
After saying that, Le'an turned her head to the side and muttered, "She comes from a high-ranking family, yet she behaves like a mistress, and now she's trying to reprimand me. She's really gone too far..."
Although Le'an's voice wasn't loud, she was standing too close to Qi Jing, so Qi Jing heard everything she said clearly.
Qi Jing naturally knew that Le An had deliberately made herself hear these words, but she was so angry about Le An's "extramarital affairs" that she couldn't speak for a moment.
Doukou remained as composed as ever: "Although what Miss Le'an said was harsh, it made sense. Miss Qi, have you thought about yourself when you belittle yourself like this?"
"I don't think about myself?" Qi Jing sneered. "You should know what I've been through. Since you know, you should understand that I took this step purely for my own benefit!"
If she didn't think of herself, how could she possibly do such a thing?!
She was well aware of how unacceptable her actions were to the world, but she had no other choice!
