Wen Nongnong was somewhat satisfied. Then, remembering something, she placed her hand on the table and looked intently at Lü Qiao. "Lü Qiao, don't you have anything to tell me?"
Green Beauty: "..."
Why did the topic suddenly shift back to her?
She hesitated and said, "This servant did not..."
Wen Nongnong interrupted her rudely, "Do you think I'm a prince who can't see? You and Si Yi came here together just now, and the clothes you were wearing looked like matching couple outfits."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao's face flushed. "That... was just a coincidence."
"A coincidence?" Wen Nongnong looked at her with a smile. "But in the evening, Bai Li saw Si Yi go into your room to get your clothes. That's not a coincidence, is it?"
Green Beauty: "..."
She glanced at Wen Nongnong, then at Bai Li.
Seeing the two of them with expressions of absolute certainty, she wished she could disappear into the ground and couldn't help but grumble at Si Yi in her heart.
How could he be so careless?
Now look what's happened! Miss and Bai Li have caught her in the act; she's in a situation she can't explain herself no matter what.
Before she could think of an excuse, Wen Nongnong asked with interest, "How far have things progressed between you two? Have you already... um, you know what I mean."
Lü Qiao looked at her in astonishment; she had actually thought that she and Si Yi were already...
Her face flushed with embarrassment and panic, and she said urgently, "Miss, please don't think such things. Si Yi and I aren't like that..."
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong took her hand and said earnestly, "Lüqiao, I treat you like a younger sister. You can't hide anything from me."
Furthermore, girls need to know how to protect themselves. They shouldn't act impulsively and do things that can't be taken back just because someone has done them a small favor. Do you understand what I mean?
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao calmed down.
"Miss, don't worry, I'm not that stupid..." She paused, but couldn't help speaking up for Si Yi, "Si Yi isn't that kind of person either. Actually, Si Yi has done me a great favor."
If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago. He could have stayed out of it, but to save me, he fell off the cliff with me and was seriously injured..."
Wen Nong Nong looked at her in surprise upon hearing this.
"Si Yi fell off the cliff with you to save you?"
“Mm.” Lü Qiao nodded and then told Wen Nong Nong about her experience of falling off the cliff and reaching the bottom, as well as how Si Yi took care of her all the way to Xiangzhou.
Of course, she omitted the part about Si Yi marrying her.
Wen Nongnong was deeply moved after hearing this, "I never imagined that Si Yi was such a kind and righteous person."
Lü Qiao smiled and said, "Si Yi said that he saved me entirely because of Miss."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong couldn't help but scoff, "My reputation isn't that big. If he doesn't want to save you, my reputation is worthless. I think this kid has had his eye on you for a long time, but he doesn't realize it."
As a seasoned bookworm who has read countless erotic novels, I simply cannot believe Si Yi's lame excuse.
Why did they save Lü Qiao only because of her?
Only a novice like Lvqiao would believe that.
Green blushed and stared at her in astonishment, "How is this possible..."
“Why not?” Wen Nongnong retorted, then looked her up and down and said with a smile, “Our Lü Qiao has both a pretty face and a great figure. Si Yi has good taste.”
Green Fairy was dumbfounded. Why was Miss's talk getting more and more outrageous?
In her haste, she blurted out, "Miss, you've misunderstood. Si Yi doesn't have any romantic feelings for me. On the contrary, I..." She quickly stopped herself from speaking.
"But what about you?" Wen Nongnong asked with interest.
Looking at the girl's flushed face, she vaguely understood something.
Seeing that Lü Qiao was still hesitating, she deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Is there something you can't tell me?"
Lü Qiao could only say, "Of course not, it's just... I just feel like I've overestimated myself." As she spoke, her voice weakened.
“How are you overestimating yourself? Si Yi is a capable assistant to the Prince, but you are also my trusted maid. Your positions in the manor are about the same,” Wen Nongnong said.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao felt somewhat ashamed.
Are you serious, miss?
How can her status be compared to Si Yi's? They're not even in the same league.
"If you like Si Yi, then go for it boldly. I'll make the decision for you," Wen Nong Nong encouraged.
Although Si Yi's personality isn't very likable, he's a very reliable person; otherwise, Gu Linchao wouldn't value him so much.
If both of them are interested in that kind of thing, it would be a good thing.
Green Fairy lowered her head. Now that things had come to this, she decided to tell him everything. "I... I've already mentioned it to him, but he refused. He said he has no plans to get married..."
Wen Nongnong was drinking water from her teacup when she heard this, and she almost spat out her water.
She looked at Lü Qiao in surprise and began to re-examine the girl.
She had always known that Lü Qiao was a clear-headed and honest person, but she never expected that she would have such courage.
This truly impressed her.
but……
"Si Yi actually refused?" she asked incredulously.
Judging from her, Si Yi definitely has feelings for Lü Qiao. Otherwise, with his personality, how could he be so patient with Lü Qiao?
Not to mention, he risked his life to save her, and when he fell to the bottom of the cliff, he even tried to cushion her fall.
This is clearly a sign that you're attracted to someone.
Bai Li looked at Lü Qiao with surprise.
