"Miss Gu, I've never wanted to fight you for anything, and I'm not going to steal your man. I'm just a servant at the Young Master's side, that's all." She turned her face away and took a step back. "You can rest easy. A woman like me is never going to be trusted by anyone. I really can't compete with you, because I have no need to compete with you at all!" She simply didn't have the energy for it.
"Sister Xia, you sure know how to talk, huh. Don't you want to know what Brother Yao and I were just talking about?" Gu Ziqian stepped forward. If she could, she really wanted to reach out and snap Xia Qingqian's neck!
Gu Ziqian was anything but at ease inside. She kept feeling that this woman Xia Qingqian was a latent danger. The longer she stayed by Beitang Yao's side, the more dangerous she became! She sensed that Brother Yao treated Xia Qingqian very specially. He might say Xia Qingqian was just a servant who waited on him, but she kept feeling that something was off.
