Chapter 11 Embarrassment
Xie Jingchen was feeling depressed, and Su Jin was even more so.
She had never said such nauseating words before, and it was cringeworthy enough to make her skin crawl.
But catching a glimpse of everyone’s reactions, she secretly felt delighted.
Whether it was trying to use her as a scapegoat for murder, letting her take the blame, or using her female bandit background to humiliate Xie Jingchen, all of it had angered Su Jin.
If they looked down on her yet forced her into a marriage to drive away bad luck, that was an illness that needed curing.
The more they wanted to see something, the more she would not let them see it, suffocating them with rage.
Su Jin was elated until...she was reprimanded.
Third Master looked stern and said, "This is Qihao Hall, not your Agarwood Pavilion. Even if you’re flirting, pick the right place."
It wasn’t just a reprimand; Third Master looked at Xie Jingchen with disappointment and heartache. After all the years of education from Duke Zhen Country Mansion, the influence of a female bandit on him in one night seemed stronger. Was he someone who’s never seen a woman before, to cherish a female bandit as if she were a treasure, making people’s hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys all ache in pain.
Su Jin looked at Xie Jingchen, her clear eyes filled with confusion, "What father said is absolutely right, your Duke Zhen Country Mansion is indeed not the same as our Dongxiang Marquis Mansion."
Xie Jingchen raised an eyebrow and asked, "In what way?"
