Qu Xiaojue had already changed, wearing a brand new blue long robe, with a simple hairstyle and sharp, calm eyes, standing powerfully in the doorway. She held An’er’s hand, who was about to call for his father but sensitively perceived the tense atmosphere between his parents. Qu Xiaojue slightly lowered her head, softening her voice: “An’er, go back to your room and take a nap, only sleep for half a time. In the afternoon, you can walk around the courtyard. Soon when you have a female teacher, you won’t be allowed to play around. At dinner, mother will have someone cook something delicious.”
Hearing Qu Xiaojue speak this way, An’er became happy again, rubbing against her clothes and sweetly saying: “An’er will be obedient, wants to eat Grandpa Li’s cake.”
She patted his little head, signaled with her eyes, and several servants immediately came forward to lead him out. Seeing the young master sent away, Qi’er quickly bowed to Qu Xiaojue and retreated. The few people accompanying her did not enter the room.
The room was suddenly left with just the two of them, and Qu Xiaojue’s gaze fell on Xu Wanzhi, walking towards her.
So this woman wanted to talk to her alone?
Qu Xiaojue stopped a few steps away, noticing the absence of the usual cloud-line incense, and paused: “A’wan, you are angry with me.”
A definitive tone.
What language are you speaking? Xu Wanzhi was somewhat speechless, glanced at her, and shook her head: “I told you, you’re overthinking.”
“Clang!”
Looking up, the person in the room picked up a teacup and heavily struck it against the table’s edge, turning again towards Xu Wanzhi, suppressing her anger and speaking softly: “I will not marry him, so why are you doing this?”
Xu Wanzhi instantly stared at her, not gossipy, but bored!
This gaze automatically transformed into anger in front of Qu Xiaojue. She tried to speak softly: “A’wan, you have your merits, but he is different from you. Moreover, I will never let him enter the Qu family.”
“How is he different?”
Glancing at her, Qu Xiaojue stated definitively: “The you from before would not ask such a question.”
“Oh?
If you don’t want to say, it’s no big deal.” She had never been one to dig deep into others’ affairs.
