"Don't mention it." Li Qingyu's eyes were filled with a smile, but she remained perfectly composed.
However, the maid standing to the side couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to gossip about her young mistress. Humph, she stepped forward and said, "Miss Xie is too modest. My young mistress was just praising her to us, saying that her mother was once the most outstanding woman in the world, and now she herself is favored by the Emperor and has started investigating cases. In just one day, she has already solved one of them. She is really amazing. Even if she sees a bloody scene, she should be able to remain as calm as Mount Tai. Why is she so afraid when she comes to my young mistress today?"
Li Qingyu is no simple woman. The maid beside her speaks calmly and deliberately, though her words are barbed, yet she maintains an extremely respectful demeanor.
It's truly flawless.
Zihe, standing to the side, lowered her gaze and remained silent.
“Miss Li’s maid speaks very well. Indeed, Miss Li is exceptionally talented, and so is her maid. She’s quick-witted and eloquent, isn’t she?” Xie Lingqin said, glancing at Li Qingyu.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly, her eyebrows trembled, but she still maintained her smile. As for the maid, she took a step back with a hint of smugness.
"Purple River".
Xie Lingqin suddenly turned her head and called out.
Zihe immediately stepped forward and asked, "What are your orders, Miss?"
Did I say anything when I entered here?
“Miss, she said that once you’re here, you shouldn’t say too much, and you shouldn’t talk about anything that’s unrelated to the case that might affect you and Miss Li.”
"So?" Xie Lingqin raised an eyebrow slightly.
Zihe accepted the order, composed herself, and immediately walked towards the maidservant beside Li Qingyu, raising her hand...
"stop."
Upon seeing this, Li Qingyu immediately spoke up, "Miss Xie..."
"Could it be that Miss Li is afraid my maids are too lenient and wants to do it herself?" Xie Lingqin interrupted Li Qingyu directly, her brows furrowing slightly as if she had just realized something. "This... Miss Li, everyone says you are strict with your servants, but isn't this a bit too strict?"
"What I meant to say was..."
"Miss Li actually intends to plead on my behalf?"
Xie Lingqin looked at her with great surprise.
