Ye Qilan barely even looked at her, leaving Xiaole feeling pretty upset. From the age of fifteen, she had been following him around. Ye Qilan had treated her as one of his own. That's why she had also followed him from the Imperial Capital to Taicheng.
He hardly ever instructed her to perform menial tasks, so Su Hongxing thought she could treat her like a manservant, just because she had risen in status?
Xiaole bore significant resentment towards Su Hongxing, hoping to see her become a fallen woman sooner rather than later. First, because Su Hongxing was ugly and didn't deserve a dragon among men like Ye Qilan. Second, she found Su Hongxing's disposition unpleasant and she wasn't intelligent either.
Other women who had been with Ye Qilan would always find ways to ingratiate themselves with her and give her benefits behind the scenes, Su Hongxing was the only exception, she even dared to command her around.
