Xiao Qingyu couldn't help thinking that she was frightened by Ling Yunshen. The mere thought of spending a lifetime with him was too daunting to contemplate.
As Ling Hua twined her arm with Xiao Qingyu's and walked into the main house, they sat down in the Drawing Hall. Suddenly, Ling Hua remembered something and asked her, "Do you know Xu Qingyi, the third young miss from the household of the Hanlin Academy's Chief Xu?"
Xiao Qingyu nodded, "I know her, but we're not close."
She paused, then added with a puzzled face, "I haven't offended her though, but she seems to give me the cold shoulder every time we meet. I once asked her about it, but she wouldn't say anything. I later felt that she was quite odd, so I stopped bothering with her."
She looked at Ling Hua, "Why do you bring her up suddenly?"
