"What do you mean by that, sister? How could Rong'er do such a thing? Sister, please don't frame Rong'er."
"Heh, a frame-up? Who's always running around like a vixen? Who's always dressing up like a fox spirit and following people around? Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You say we're having lunch with that young master at a restaurant, but I bet you secretly wish you were the one dining with him, aren't you?"
Qin Rong turned pale and lost all color after hearing these words.
"What? Did I hit the nail on the head? You've gone to so much trouble to get close to that young master, and you still haven't even managed to speak to him. Aren't you a failure? When did the young ladies of the Qin family become so worthless that you're so eager to climb up to them?"
"No, you're lying. It was clearly you who seduced her. How could Rong'er do such a thing?"

Now that she'd brought it up openly, things were much easier; she could interact with Yuan Feng openly from now on. However, Qin Rong's suggestive words would have consequences she needed to be prepared to bear.
