Chapter 175 - 174 Patrol
Hongzhi was momentarily taken aback. "Miss, your heart really is big."
"That is," confronted with Ye Xinyan like this, Hongzhi felt compelled to speak more plainly, "Look, Lady Qi, although it is the Lizheng’s duty to host Lord Jiang, my Sixth Master’s status is awkward, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to push himself forward, would it?"
Then what? Ye Xinyan looked at Hongzhi, waiting for him to finish what he was saying.
"Moreover, considering your relationship with Lord Jiang, my Sixth Master would surely need to avoid any suspicion. Wouldn’t it look better if Sixth Master, as an old acquaintance of the Qi family, were to stop by the Qi family’s estate and have lunch with Lord Jiang there?"
"My home has no place!" Ye Xinyan immediately jumped to her feet. Jiang Yifan was coming to her house for a meal, where she would have to cater to him and also bear his sour face. Was this some kind of joke?
Furthermore, her home really had no place for these two gods.
Ye Xinyan’s voice, after her moment of panic, was a bit too loud. The old woman servant Nanny Liu and Bi Ning, who were seemingly busy with chores but actually watching the scene in the courtyard, immediately looked over. The eldest Miss of the Ye Family was indeed living up to her notorious reputation of arrogance and rudeness.
Ye Xinyan also felt she had lost her composure a bit and grudgingly toned down her flushed face of urgent frustration, saying more calmly, "You know the situation in my home, Hongzhi. The place isn’t big to begin with, and now we have even more people with Nanny Liu and the rest. We really have no place to host your Sixth Master."
