Miao Yi felt strange about it too, not to mention that she felt the same as well.
Miao Yi initially thought his troubles were because he'd plucked the plum sprig from the plum garden at Suppressing Second Hall. Now that he knew Xiao Yizhu was Huo Lingxiao, he could only deduce that Huo Lingxiao was joking with him no matter how he looked at it. He wouldn't have gone to the extent of making him suffer because of one plum sprig.
Miao Yi could only blame himself for being powerless. Otherwise, he would have definitely put Huo Lingxiao in an embarrassing situation! Hatred engulfed Miao Yi. They were unreasonably sending him to his own death. When he swept his gaze at Wu Menglan's well-developed and demure figure, his eyes lit up. He could never stomach this insult if he didn't take his vengeance against Huo Lingxiao.
