In fact, Lan Xiu knew from the start that she was acting.
His sudden move just now was meant to divert her attention, trying to make her forget about what had happened earlier.
It seems that this attempt had failed.
However, the fact that she pinched herself out of jealousy just now shows that she wasn't really angry with him.
That is about the best news he could expect.
Soon, the housekeeper came to report that the mistress wished that Young Master would take her around for a visit.
The housekeeper did not dare refuse and hurriedly came for instructions.
While tidying up her clothes, Yuanya said, "You don't interfere, I'll go."
Now whatever she says goes. Old Master Lan was seized by the whip and became submissive.
"Alright then, you can play freely. When you're finally not angry, I'll ask them to leave..."
The response to him was a door closing sound; Yuanya had already stepped out.
