The morning mist was thin and slightly cool.
Tang Xiaobai glanced at the tightly closed door of the side room as she washed and asked the maid, "How was Xin Yi last night?"
Last night, she had braved the eldest daughter's wrath to bring Xin Yi back to settle at the Bright Moon Building.
Xin Yi seemed to have suffered a great blow and was in a daze throughout.
She kept recalling Qin Rong's words, "It's not that serious," as well as the similar sentiment hinted at by Mo Huan.
Upon further reflection, indeed, last night's incident did not seem that serious after all.
Firstly, Tang Ziqian had always treated Xin Yi well and had never offended her;
Secondly, today's offense was caused by circumstance, not intent;
Thirdly, after being slashed by Xin Yi, Tang Ziqian came to his senses and stopped.
If the first scream was from being startled, then holding a knife to him afterward...
Was it a stress response?
Or... was there some other reason...
