"I'm afraid he might be psychologically twisted and, in a fit of madness, do something bad to Miss."
Qingyuan placed the teacup on the table, making a soft, crisp sound.
A flash of coldness crossed his eyes.
Hearing the noise, Shen Zhiyi turned her head and looked at him with some surprise.
But they didn't notice anything unusual.
"By the way," Dui'er said, "the craftsmen who are repairing the cold spring have arrived. Would you like to start work now, Miss?"
"Okay." Shen Zhiyi looked away. "Let them in."
"I'll take Qingyuan to the next room."
She took her people out.
The craftsmen who were repairing the cold spring happened to come in, saw their backs, and whispered among themselves in admiration.
"No wonder Miss Shen has always refused to get married; it turns out there is such a wonderful person hidden in the manor."

Mermaids only shed tears for the ones they love.
The one you love?
Shen Zhiyi frowned.
Could it be that I should try to become his sweetheart?
But she doesn't know how to pursue men...
Just as he was frowning in distress, there was a light knock on the door.
"Miss, the leader of the craftsmen team requests an audience," Dui'er said from outside the door.
"Come in." Shen Zhiyi closed the storybook.
The team leader pushed open the door and bowed as he presented the newly drawn blueprints.
"Miss Shen, please take a look. This is a new idea from us, a design we've added to the Cold Spring. Miss Shen, please take a look and see if there's anything inappropriate about it?"
Shen Zhiyi picked up the teacup and took a small sip.
He glanced at the blueprints and then burst out laughing.
