Sheng Xiao glanced at Mu Qiqi from the corner of his eye but said nothing else, while she quickly gobbled her rice and said, "I'm going back to my room."
"That child, is she already full?" Su Zipei was completely oblivious of the unusual atmosphere between them and only watched as Mu Qiqi hurried upstairs.
After all, she did not want to let Su Zipei see her blush and invoke suspicions.
"Young Master Sheng, please don't mind her. She was wronged in school today," Su Zipei explained.
"Wronged?" Sheng Xiao's eyes promptly darkened.
Su Zipei lowered her bow and chopsticks at the question, and told Sheng Xiao about how Papa Mu had humiliated Mu Qiqi in school. "My animal of a brother-in-law even accused her of killing her grandmother...just like that."
"Still, even if it's just the teacher today, who could be sure that he wouldn't tell the whole world just to protect Mu Tangxue?"
