After saying this, another vision arose in Zi Qiao's heart, and her eyes lit up: "If the young prince truly succeeds, wouldn't our young lady be able to become— um..."
Miao Xiang was always cautious, and as soon as she heard that the words had gone too far, she quickly covered Zi Qiao's mouth with her hand and solemnly reminded her, "Sister Zi Qiao, you can't say those things carelessly!"
Zi Qiao nodded hurriedly, regretting her earlier careless remarks.
