What had she done?
Meanwhile, Su Yueqing continued eating peacefully.
[Seriously.]
[If somebody sold her tomorrow, she’d probably help them count the silver before realizing she’d been tricked.]
Xi Lanyin almost dropped the spoon in her hand.
"Mother..." she whispered pitifully.
Lin Meiyun immediately reached over and squeezed her daughter’s hand in comfort.
Unfortunately, she could not even defend her.
Because every warning Su Yueqing had ever accidentally revealed had eventually proven true.
Just then, Su Yueqing reached for her tea.
Unfortunately, she swallowed too quickly.
"Cough! Cough!"
She immediately began coughing.
Before anyone else could react, Xi Lanyin quickly stood up from her seat.
Without hesitation, she grabbed a clean handkerchief, poured a fresh cup of warm water, and hurried over.
"Sister-in-law, drink slowly," she said gently.
Su Yueqing accepted both items without thinking.
After taking several sips of water and calming her breathing, she finally recovered.
Then she looked up at Xi Lanyin.
A complicated sigh echoed inside her mind once again.
[See?]
[This is exactly what I mean.]
[She’s so kind.]
[Far too kind.]
[The type of person who always sees the best in everyone.]
[The type of person who believes everyone has good intentions.]
[Which is exactly why she’s so easy to deceive.]
[If I’m remembering correctly...]
[Recently, that Baron’s son has been trying very hard to win her over.]
The entire table froze.
Xi Lanyin’s face immediately lost all color.
Lin Meiyun nearly stood up from her seat.
Old Madam Xi’s eyes widened.
Xi Ronghua stared at her niece in disbelief.
A Baron’s son?
What Baron’s son?
Then Su Yueqing finally remembered his name.
[Ah.]
[Zhao Mingyuan.]
At that moment, Xi Lanyin felt her heart stop beating.
Nobody knew.
Absolutely nobody.
Not her parents.
Not her grandmother.
Not her cousins.
Not even her closest friends.
Yet Su Yueqing had casually exposed the secret she had spent months hiding from everyone.
[Sending poems.]
[Sending gifts.]
[Creating chance encounters.]
