Chapter 27

The golden dragon on the fleeting flash of black flying-fish robes appeared before Xie Qiqi’s eyes once again... There was only one person in the Capital City who wore such an official uniform! Moyuan! Was it him who saved her back then? Xie Qiqi had previously intended to ask her mother to prepare a gift so she could thank her benefactor. But judging by the tone Xie Wentao had used, her father despised the Jinyiwei; he would never allow her to thank Moyuan! Forget it. She would repay the debt of gratitude herself! Yue Huijuan’s face darkened as she scolded, "Qiqi, it would be one thing if you were merely ignorant on ordinary days, but to be so reckless on such an occasion is entirely your fault." "Do you realize that if you were truly branded an assassin, our entire family would be implicated and ruined because of you?" Xie Qiqi stared at her mother, dazed. At the time, she had nearly been kicked to death by a horse, yet her mother hadn't worried about her life at all; instead, she only worried about whether she would implicate the Xie Family? In her mother’s heart, was reputation more important than her own life? If it had been Yue Yue pushed out there, would her mother still be thinking this way?
