The confusion, disbelief, and dissatisfaction that appeared one after another in her expression made the corners of his lips twitch almost imperceptibly.
For the first time in a long while, he found himself enjoying her reaction.
She had clearly expected Li Mei to lose control.
Instead, Li Mei had accepted the arrangement without hesitation, and now the only person left dissatisfied was Su Yueqing herself.
The courtyard remained quiet.
Everyone was still waiting for the matter to conclude.
Then Xi Wenzhe suddenly spoke.
"Head Maid."
The head maid immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"Young Master."
Xi Wenzhe’s gaze shifted toward Su Yueqing.
Since she had entered the residence, she had caused trouble almost every day. Her etiquette was terrible, her behavior was unpredictable, and her thoughts were even more outrageous than her actions.
If she had so much energy to create trouble, then perhaps she needed something else to occupy her time.
"From today onward, you will personally oversee Young Madam’s etiquette lessons."
The head maid blinked.
For a moment, she thought she had misheard.
"Young Master?"
Xi Wenzhe’s expression remained calm.
"Strictly."
The head maid immediately lowered her head.
"This servant obeys."
The moment those words fell, Su Yueqing froze.
The next second, her eyes widened.
"What?"
Her voice rose several degrees.
"Etiquette lessons?"
She pointed at herself as if she had just heard the most unreasonable thing imaginable.
Inside her mind, chaos immediately erupted.
[What does he mean etiquette lessons?]
[Does he think I’m preparing to go to the palace?]
[Strictly? Why did he specifically emphasize strictly?]
The system spoke quietly.
[Host, I believe he intends to discipline you.]
[I know that!]
[Then why are you asking me?]
Su Yueqing nearly choked.
Then she narrowed her eyes and glared directly at Xi Wenzhe.
A dangerous suspicion suddenly appeared in her mind.
"You are doing this on purpose."
Xi Wenzhe looked at her calmly.
"Doing what?"
Su Yueqing pointed toward Li Mei.
"Is this your revenge?"
The entire courtyard became silent again.
Even the servants stopped breathing.
Su Yueqing continued without hesitation.
"Is this because I made your lover become a low-ranking prank maid?"
Several servants almost collapsed on the spot.
The head maid lowered her head so quickly that she nearly buried her face in her chest.
At that moment, nobody knew whether to admire Su Yueqing’s courage or question her survival instincts.
