Chapter 35: Chapter Xi Wenzhe remained standing in front of Su Yueqing.
His gaze moved from her smiling face to Li Mei and then back again.
A strange feeling settled in his chest.
’What exactly is she planning now?’
The problem was that even after hearing her thoughts for days, he still could not understand how her mind worked.
One moment she was terrified of him.
The next moment she was plotting something outrageous.
And somehow she always looked confident right before disaster struck.
At that moment, Su Yueqing suddenly looked toward the head maid.
"Head Maid."
The woman immediately stepped forward.
"Yes, Young Madam."
Su Yueqing lazily pointed toward the rows of servants.
"You asked earlier what duties my assistant maid would perform."
The head maid nodded.
"Yes."
"Good."
A pleased smile appeared on Su Yueqing’s face.
"Then I have already chosen the candidate."
The servants immediately became nervous.
Several maids unconsciously lowered their heads.
Nobody wanted to become the unfortunate person assigned to such a strange position.
After all, everyone had already understood what "assistant maid" truly meant.
Su Yueqing then slowly raised her hand.
Her finger pointed directly into the crowd.
"Her."
The servants immediately followed the direction of her finger.
A moment later, dozens of gazes landed on the same person.
Li Mei.
The courtyard instantly became silent.
Li Mei herself remained motionless.
Only the slight tightening of her fingers revealed that she was surprised.
The head maid looked stunned.
"You mean... Li Mei?"
"Yes."
Su Yueqing nodded calmly.
"Li Mei."
Inside her mind, however—
[Let’s see how long it takes before Xi Wenzhe loses his temper.]
The system immediately spoke.
[Host.]
[What?]
[May I ask a question?]
[Go ahead.]
[Have you considered the possibility that your plan is terrible?]
Su Yueqing ignored it.
Meanwhile, Xi Yunchen slowly covered his face.
"She actually did it."
Xi Yunhao looked speechless.
"She really chose Li Mei."
