Xia Ruqing couldn't help but redden her eyes slightly, and Zi Yue lowered her head as well.
The two remained silent for a long time without speaking.
Eventually, it was Zi Yue who stepped forward and gently tugged Xia Ruqing's hand, her eyes reddened as she said.
"Master, this servant... is rather clumsy!"
"Unlike Zi Su who is clever, if this servant said anything displeasing to you, you..."
Xia Ruqing shook her head.
"Alright, don't say anymore!"
"The departed is gone, we should not mention it again!"
Zi Yue nodded.
The master and servant headed together to the inner hall.
...
Actually, regarding the matter of Honored Lady Luo, Xia Ruqing truly did not wish to intervene.
After all, Zhao Junyao had previously discussed it with her.
And she had clearly expressed that as long as it didn't interfere with her, she would definitely turn a blind eye.
So...
Lying on the soft platform, Xia Ruqing listened as Zi Yue recounted the harem rumors entirely, then smiled faintly.
