She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Ever since Ye Xinyan learned of Guan He’s keen hearing and sharp eyesight, she felt utterly disrupted. This was just too much! Having such a person stay at her home meant she would no longer have the liberty to speak ill of others in secret, right?

"Really?" Ye Xinyan’s words startled Zhao Gang, who instinctively looked around, somewhat embarrassedly saying, "Lucky that you and I didn’t say anything else, otherwise, if Righteous Guan had heard it, wouldn’t it be impossible for us to face each other again?"

Ye Xinyan pursed her lips and smiled. In the original host’s memory, she had never seen Zhao Gang like this before. Zhao Gang was usually serious and solemn, with a touch of helplessness. Seeing such surprise and embarrassment on his face was truly delightful.

Cheung Wusi couldn’t stand it anymore, and set down his cup of tea, chiding Ye Xinyan, "Ye Zi is still as mischievous as ever. Master Guan has always been open and honest—we shouldn’t talk about him like this, understand?" Then turning to Zhao Gang to explain, "Master Guan’s martial arts skills are indeed very high, but not as Ye Zi described, using his skills to eavesdrop on others’ conversations. Somehow, though Ye Zi generally has a good temperament, she always clashes with Master Guan. When the two meet, neither shows a good face, and their conversations are filled with barbs."

Miss Cousin has a good temperament? Zhao Gang looked at Ye Xinyan seriously, then turned back to listen to Cheung Wusi continue, "Master Guan is used to the life of wandering in Jianghu, and speaks his mind, never feeling awkward about sharp words. And Ye Zi is stubborn on this matter, refusing to listen to advice. As a result, the two of them have been at odds since Master Guan arrived and remain so to this day."

Zhao Gang chuckled, Miss Cousin’s temper indeed made her unreceptive to advice, but this Guan He was also interesting. How could someone who roamed Jianghu take a young woman so seriously?

With an air of helplessness, he said to Ye Xinyan, "Righteous Guan is here at the request of Lord Jiang to help, and since he has come to your residence, he is a guest in your home. As the host, you shouldn’t treat him like that."

Ye Xinyan glared sideways, very reluctantly turning her eyes to Zhao Gang, saying, "Uncle Zhao, you’re not right to speak like that. When Guan He that fellow came out earlier, he put on such a pompous and arrogant air. Don’t think I didn’t see how Uncle Zhao’s eyebrows shot up in surprise, practically flying off your forehead. Yet now you come to lecture me."
