"Young Master Qi."
That soft and tender voice contained some shyness and pleasant surprise, but it couldn't give Qi Hongxuan any good feelings. His handsome eyebrows instantly scrunched up, and he no longer revealed a smiling face to greet her.
"Is Miss Li busy?" Qi Hongxuan couldn't hide his displeasure as he looked at him coldly.
Lili kept her head down, looking shy and timid. She only glanced at the handsome young man with a noble aura, clearly not seeing the displeasure on Qi Hongxuan's face. "Young Master Qi, Miaoyu wants to talk to you for a bit."
Qi Hongxuan frowned as he stared coldly at Lee Miaoyu. Thinking of how she had a mother that was as venomous as a scorpion, she was definitely not any better off. She felt even more disgusted as she asked, "What's the matter?"
Seeing that he did not refuse, Lee Miaoyu's bashful expression instantly changed. Her small face was filled with bitterness and resentment, and it was even quicker than a vaudeville performance.
She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and lightly tapped on her clean eyelids like a flower, acting as if she was about to cry. It was so pitiful.
Qi Hongxuan sneered in his heart, thinking that this girl is really good at scheming and acting. If it wasn't because he was born in a noble family and was used to seeing girls in the backyard, he would probably have been tricked by her today.
"Young Master Qi, do you believe those rumors as well?" She took the handkerchief and gently stroked the corners of her eyes. Then, she gently lifted her eyes and looked at the tall and handsome youth before her with an angle that was both bashful and charming.
Qi Hongxuan raised his eyebrows and looked back at the pair of seductive eyes. He casually asked, "What rumor?"
Lee Miaoyufu lowered her eyes again and said with a sorrowful expression, "They all said that it was my mother who beat up Miaoyin's little sister, and that she was a woman with a venomous heart of a snake and scorpion. Brother Qi, do you also believe that?"
From Young Master Qi to Qi gege, this change was not bad at all. It showed both what he was thinking and how close he was to him.
It was obvious that Qi Hongxuan didn't want to eat her. It was as if he didn't see her frequently sending him the autumn water, he only raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Oh? "So is it a rumor that's wrong?"
Lee Miaoyu saw that Qi Hongxuan did not take any action, but she did not mind, as she continued to play around with him, causing people to feel pity for her. Her voice was soft and seductive, "Of course it was wrong, how could my mother do such a thing, it was all because of sister Miaoyin and third sister fighting over the jewelry and getting hurt by third sister accidentally, this cannot be blamed on third sister, after all, third sister is still young and insensible."
The meaning of his words was that Lee Miaoyin was in the wrong.
Qi Hongxuan laughed coldly in his heart. He looked around and said lightly: "Is your mother the younger sister of the Yang Prefect, Xu Changqing?"
Lee Miaoyu's face paled when she heard that. All the coquettish posturing disappeared in an instant, leaving only panic on her face. She didn't know how to respond. She didn't expect Qi Hongxuan to not even know her identity.
This was the moment when she had thought that she hated her identity as a concubine the most.
Before Lee Miaoyu could answer, Qi Hongxuan raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "What? Your mother is not Madame Xu? "
Seeing Qi Hongxuan continue to question her, Lee Miaoyu's voice was like a mosquito's buzz. She bit her lips and replied, "My mother's surname is Yang."
"Surnamed Yang?" Qi Hongxuan turned his head to look at Chu Fu and asked, "Isn't Li Assistant Prefectural Magistrate's wife surnamed Xu?"
Laifu understood the meaning behind Young Master's words. He immediately followed his words and said, "Young Master, Lady Yang, the one Miss Li mentioned, is Li Assistant Prefectural Magistrate's concubine."
