Duan Qingxi narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Duan Shishi, no one in this world would resent or target someone for no reason. Some do it out of hatred, some out of jealousy, and some... they just asked for it."
Duan Shishi was stunned, but after understanding what Duan Qingxi meant, she smiled softly.
She took another step forward, getting closer to Duan Qingxi.
She said, "I heard... that you stayed overnight at the Ninth Prince's Mansion some time ago, and the Ninth Prince seemed to like you very much?"
Duan Qingxi didn't say anything, so Duan Shishi continued, "And the Fifth Prince saw it? Ha, Duan Qingxi, I never thought you were better than me, but you must have been reborn better than me. Otherwise, who do you think you are?"
Duan Qingxi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? You're not pretending anymore?"
Duan Shishi was stunned for a moment before she said, "Why would I pretend in front of you? You wouldn't believe me anyway."
"Well, you are quite self-aware."
"You only have this mouth to speak, Duan Qingxi... If you try to steal something from me, I'll make you regret it!"
When Duan Shishi said the last sentence, she lowered her voice and whispered it into Duan Qingxi's ear.
Although he was vicious, Duan Qingxi did not take him seriously.
Duan Shishi left after she finished speaking, but just as she left, Duan Sijin came out.
After seeing Duan Shishi's back, he narrowed his eyes unhappily, then walked up to Duan Qingxi and asked, "What did she say to you?"
Duan Qingxi shrugged and told the truth, "He threatened me, saying that if you try to steal something from her, you'll end up in trouble."
Duan Sijin sneered, "Robbery? Who's robbing whose things now? How shameless..."
Then, he placed his hand on Duan Qingxi's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Xi'er, brother will always stand by you."
Duan Qingxi smiled and said, "Of course I know. Daddy and Big Brother are my eternal supporters!"
"Well, just remember it."
While talking to Duan Sijin, she walked towards her own yard. Later, when they were about to separate, Duan Sijin looked at Chan Xue and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Duan Qingxi noticed it and asked, "What do you want to say, brother?"
Duan Qingxi could actually feel that Duan Sijin liked Chanxue very much now. He seemed to be hesitant to speak to her several times, and it was obvious that he wanted to ask her for Chanxue, but she was not sure whether Duan Sijin wanted to marry Chanxue or take her as a concubine.
She wanted to ask clearly a few times before, but Duan Sijin refused to say anything, so she kept putting it aside.
Chan Xue was standing next to Duan Qingxi. After meeting Duan Sijin's eyes, she immediately lowered her head shyly.
Could it be... that Duan Yu asked the young master to propose to me?
But the young lady is getting married, and she will need someone to accompany her to the Fifth Prince's Palace. Isn't it not good for her to be with Duan Yu now?
After seeing Chan Xue's shy look, Duan Sijin's lips curled up slightly and he felt very happy.
He actually felt that it was not a good time to talk about this matter, so he looked at Duan Qingxi and said, "There is something I want to tell you, but I don't think it's the right time. Let's talk about it after you get married."
When Chanxue heard this, his face turned even redder. It seemed that it was just as he thought.
Duan Qingxi looked at Duan Sijin, then at Chan Xue, with an expression of understanding.
"oh……"
But Chanxue lowered her head and couldn't see Duan Qingxi's expression.
After returning to the courtyard, Duan Qingxi looked at Chan Xue and asked, "Xue'er, let me ask you honestly, do you... uh, have someone you like?"
