In the evening, Lin Jiaojiao woke up in a daze. When she sat up, she was fully awake but found no one in the room and darkness fast approaching. It felt as if she was cut off from the world.
"Xuemei," she called out lazily, rubbing her somewhat aching forehead.
Hearing her voice, Xuemei, who had been guarding the door outside, quickly came in.
"My lady, you're awake." Xuemei approached with a bitter expression, evidently in a terrible mood, even somewhat furious.
Seeing this, Lin Jiaojiao found it strange and asked, "What happened?"
Being questioned like this seemingly triggered Xuemei, who replied angrily, "My lady, Qingtao is so annoying! We were talking about Qin Zhi outside, and you won't believe what she said!"
Uh... Lin Jiaojiao didn't know what Qingtao had said, so she asked, "What did she say?"
Xuemei, still fuming, said, "She said Qin Zhi deserved to die! Such a cold-blooded person!"
