Luo Qiong found that after visiting the Ma Family, Xiao Yechen had been coming to her room more often, which infuriated and irritated her to no end.
Moreover, since it was the mourning period, she had no excuse to turn him away to his concubines' quarters, leaving her no choice but to endure the situation with Zhou Xuan.
At first, Luo Qiong thought that Xiao Yechen's frequent visits were out of guilt, but after a few days, she realized that whenever he came to her room, his gaze mostly fell on Xue Qiao.
Feeling guilty herself, Luo Qiong didn't want Xiao Yechen to pay too much attention to Xue Qiao. Thus, she would find an excuse to send Xue Qiao out of the room whenever he visited.
Upon discovering this, Xiao Yechen intentionally remarked, "That maid of yours, Xue Qiao, is quite pretty."
Luo Qiong glanced at Xiao Yechen, "Are you taken with her?"
Xiao Yechen looked at Luo Qiong with a smile, "Are you jealous?" he asked, reaching for her hand.
