Wouldn’t that make her the thorn in everyone’s eye?
"The reason I changed was merely because..." Ye Qichi paused, seemingly organizing her thoughts, "Let me put it this way, I was not stupid as a child, but because my aunt drugged me from a young age, I gradually became less intelligent, unable to learn anything, and eventually turned into what everyone called a good-for-nothing young lady. After I left the Minister Mansion and married Xiao Jinxing, without my aunt poisoning me, my health recovered, and I reverted to my former self."
Bai Mowan scrutinized Ye Qichi.
As if determining whether she was lying.
Ye Qichi appeared confident and justified.
Blatantly spouting nonsense, then accepting Bai Mowan’s scrutiny.
Bai Mowan couldn’t figure out the truth but chose to temporarily believe her.
Her rebirth might have changed many things.
She changed her own destiny.
Perhaps, she also changed the destinies of others.
She said, "I see. Then I won’t disturb your trip to the plague area, Miss Ye, please be careful."
"Okay." Ye Qichi smiled.
Then she turned and left.
She managed to bluff her way through.
She breathed a sigh of relief, leaving the Pang Mansion.
Bai Mowan watched Ye Qichi’s retreating figure and then went to Xiao Jinxing’s room.
She knocked and entered.
Xiao Jinxing saw Bai Mowan and gently said, "Wan’er. Your health hasn’t fully recovered, best to rest more."
"I know." Bai Mowan walked affectionately to Xiao Jinxing’s side and sat down, "I was just taking a walk in the courtyard with Miss Ye and wanted to thank her for saving my life."
"No need for thanks." Xiao Jinxing appeared somewhat indifferent, "Her saving you was only natural."
Bai Mowan could really feel Xiao Jinxing’s disregard for Ye Qichi.
It was clear Xiao Jinxing didn’t like Ye Qichi.
Yet internally, there’s an indescribable taste.
Xiao Jinxing’s personality is such that he doesn’t show any emotions to anyone, except in front of her, he is extremely considerate, revealing his feelings for her, but to others, he is cold and unemotional.
In her previous life, she also witnessed how Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi interacted.
There was no verbal communication throughout, not even eye contact.
As if they were strangers.
But now, although Xiao Jinxing’s attitude toward Ye Qichi might seem repulsive, somehow, it feels like they have gotten closer.
She bit her lip lightly.
At that moment, she also despised her own overly suspicious nature.
She shouldn’t be doubting Xiao Jinxing, nor should she care about how Xiao Jinxing interacts with Ye Qichi.
Regardless, Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi are still husband and wife now.
Even if they are to divorce in half a year.
But for now, they are still in a marital relationship, she shouldn’t, care excessively.
She tried to let go of the burden in her heart, sincerely saying, "I think Miss Ye is quite a good person."
Xiao Jinxing looked at Bai Mowan.
"Really." Bai Mowan smiled slightly, she never stinted in praising others, but for Ye Qichi, she was indeed somewhat biased, and now she was trying to change, not wanting to become the kind of person she hates, who can’t bear others doing well.
Xiao Jinxing gave no comment.
He didn’t want to comment.
Bai Mowan could also feel that Xiao Jinxing didn’t want to talk more about Ye Qichi, so she didn’t continue either.
She changed the subject, "This command from the Emperor must have been instigated by Xiao Jinsen. I really hope he doesn’t succeed in his scheme!"
She intended to stay calm.
But still, when it came to Xiao Jinsen, Bai Mowan couldn’t help grinding her teeth.
"But I don’t think Gu Xingchuan will come." Xiao Jinxing clearly had no hope for Gu Xingchuan.
Bai Mowan also didn’t believe it.
The situation in the world, no one would want to provoke the King of Chu.
"Just wait one day," Xiao Jinxing said coldly.
In his mind, he silently added, considering it as giving Ye Qichi an explanation.
Ye Qichi had indeed sacrificed a lot to save the people of Yuzhou City, and he saw it.
Moreover, there was no need to be ruthlessly exterminate the poor citizens.
If he didn’t agree to Ye Qichi’s request, Ye Qichi would definitely berate him for life.
Oddly, he didn’t want Ye Qichi to hate him.
Even if Ye Qichi ended up hating him, he guessed he wouldn’t care much.
He just wanted to crush Ye Qichi’s hope.
To make her understand, many people aren’t worth her trust!
Ye Qichi left the Pang Mansion.
