Mu Jinyuan turned her head and snapped at Baiguo, "Be quiet!"
Zizhu nudged Baiguo with her elbow, signaling her to mind her manners. Although their mistress was kind to them, they couldn't afford to be indiscreet. Baiguo shrugged, feeling a bit confused by her mistress's mindset. She clearly remembered that when news of Xie Yanci’s injury reached them, her mistress had rushed over immediately—it was obvious she was worried about him. Yet, she had repeatedly rejected his overtures. Was she perhaps testing his reliability?
Baiguo’s small expressions and movements did not escape Mu Jinyuan’s notice. Mu Jinyuan felt a lingering fear; she knew that forming a habit of relying on others was not a good thing. Human hearts were unpredictable. Having endured the displacement and hardships of her previous life, she dared not trust men easily.
