"I..."

Under the gaze of the two girls, Xu Yuan was sweating profusely as he pondered for quite a while before finally coming up with an answer that could barely pass as one.
"I understand."
Under Lin Qingque's eyes filled with disappointment, he looked at Jing Lixue and said softly, "Since the princess commands it, I shall accompany her. However..."
"However, what?"
Jing Lixue's thick and dark eyebrows lifted slightly, as if guessing something, and a smile that was not quite a smile appeared on her flawless face. She watched him quietly and asked.
"My junior sister has long been curious about the Princess's mansion."
Xu Yuan turned to Lin Qingque, who looked completely perplexed: "And she knows everything about my affairs, so, taking my junior sister along should not be a problem for the princess, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell into silence.
