The maid fell sideways onto the floor while clutching her swollen cheek in shock.
"You nearly ruined my wedding robes," Su Yueqing said coldly.
Her voice was soft.
But the chill hidden beneath it immediately made the surrounding servants lower their heads in fear.
The kneeling maid trembled violently.
"This servant was wrong! Please forgive this servant!"
Inside her mind, however, Su Yueqing sounded completely different.
[Sorry about that.]
[But I need villain points.]
[Besides, she obviously did that on purpose.]
[Classic opening scene.]
[Someone probably wanted me embarrassed the moment I entered the manor.]
The entire Xi family froze again.
Xi Yunhao’s eyes narrowed slowly.
Xi Ronghua stopped frowning for the first time.
Even Lin Meiyun’s calm expression changed slightly.
Meanwhile, Su Yueqing remained completely unaware.
[Honestly, if this were my eighth mission, I would’ve dragged out the drama longer.]
[Maybe break a teacup.]
[Or accuse three innocent people randomly.]
[But I’m tired today.]
Xi Yunchen slowly straightened from his chair.
"...I heard that again."
Xi Qianqian looked disturbed now.
"No... I heard it too..."
Gu Yue stared at Su Yueqing with widened eyes.
"But her mouth didn’t move..."
Little Xi Anran tugged nervously at Lin Meiyun’s sleeve.
"Mother... why is Sister-in-law talking inside my head?"
The hall went completely still.
Only Su Yueqing continued standing there elegantly in the center of the hall like a perfect noble villainess.
Completely unaware—
That every single thought in her mind was being heard clearly by the entire Xi family..
