Actually, what Hong Xiu initially said was that she was sent by the Ji Family to serve him, and Mrs. Ji knew about it.
But in San Lang's letter, he wrote that he couldn't say such vague words, Mrs. Ji couldn't figure it out, and he must clearly tell her that the Ji Family's servants were being two-faced, just deceiving her.
Company Commander Xie had spent a few years with Mrs. Ji and understood her simple mind. If he didn't present things as opposites, she wouldn't grasp the seriousness, so he followed the reminder in the letter, insisting that Hong Xiu was secretly undermining her, pretending to follow her orders and seducing him.
Mrs. Ji was indeed shocked when she heard that. Although her affection for Xie Cheng hadn't been good these past two years, she clearly remembered the first time she asked Hong Xiu to send Xie Cheng some tonic.
