As expected, Xiao Qingzhi was quite satisfied to see the bitter hatred Gao Shiman held for Mu Jinyuan, even if Gao Shiman’s sudden appearance had just disrupted her original plan.
"Miss Gao, you don’t understand," Xiao Qingzhi sighed. "My situation in this estate is dire. Both the Old Madam and the Grand Princess favor Younger Sister Yuanyuan; no matter what I do, it seems I am in the wrong. Everyone knows Xiao Fu’s status here—they cherish her like the apple of their eye. This time, it was Xiao Fu who acted as the mediator, trying to smooth things over between us, so I had no choice but to humble myself."
She continued, "But as you saw just now, Mu Jinyuan is hardly a forgiving person. Despite my submissiveness, she refused to let me off the hook. I fear my days in the State Protector Estate will only become more difficult from here on out."
