Gu Ziqian confronts Xia Qingqian, accusing her of having designs on Beitang Yao and physically assaulting her. Xia Qingqian maintains she is merely a servant and has no interest in Beitang Yao's love, stating she will leave once her current obligations are fulfilled.

"Tsk tsk." Gu Ziqian advanced, her gaze laced with disdain. "Sister Xia, I truly underestimated you. What sort of predicament keeps you from leaving? Or perhaps you believe lingering by Brother Yao's side will win his affection? You are an utterly shameless woman, daring to seduce another's betrothed and even establish a relationship with him? You have genuinely astounded me!"

Xia Qingqian found herself compelled to collapse onto the sofa, the atmosphere around them instantly becoming heavy and silent. Gripping the sofa's edge with both hands, she looked up at Gu Ziqian, a cold, malevolent current surging within her!

Judging by Gu Ziqian's tone, it was evident that if she persisted in her entanglement with Beitang Yao, maintaining a relationship, Gu Ziqian would undoubtedly exact retribution. She most certainly would not let her off! This certainty stemmed from the palpable aura of death in Gu Ziqian's eyes – a desire to utterly destroy her.

Nevertheless, every utterance from Gu Ziqian struck a raw nerve. She should never have developed any connection with Beitang Yao; the nature of her relationship with him was indeed difficult to articulate.

Xia Qingqian made an effort to modulate her voice to sound as natural as possible. Trapped between the sofa behind her and Gu Ziqian before her, escape was impossible. At this moment, the fear she felt towards Gu Ziqian was palpable, a destructive energy radiating towards her. She spoke softly, "Miss Gu, please, there's no need to be like this. I..."

However, before Xia Qingqian could utter another word, Gu Ziqian's expression contorted into one of extreme displeasure. Dramatically, she knelt before Xia Qingqian, reaching out to clutch her pants. Her entire demeanor shifted as she pleaded, "Sister Xia, I won't contend with you for Brother Yao, but could you possibly refrain from treating me this way? I am truly frightened, Sister Xia. Please, don't!"

Xia Qingqian was taken aback. She furrowed her brow, observing Gu Ziqian, who appeared on the verge of tears, her voice escalating several octaves. Utterly bewildered by Gu Ziqian's sudden change in behavior, she inquired, "Miss Gu, what exactly do you mean by 'this way'?"

"Sister Xia, Brother Yao is a person, not some possession. I will not fight you for him, but please, do not utter words that wound me so deeply, okay? From childhood until now, no one has ever treated me like this, Sister Xia. I implore you, do not treat me in this manner." Gu Ziqian subtly cast a glance towards a figure standing in the doorway, her lips curving into a knowing smile—a fleeting expression that Xia Qingqian managed to catch.

An icy chill ran down Xia Qingqian's spine, an unsettling premonition gripping her. Witnessing Gu Ziqian's face streaked with tears, her own heart began to falter, mirroring those dual streams of sorrow. What exactly was Gu Ziqian attempting to achieve?

"Miss Gu, do you even comprehend the gravity of your words?" Xia Qingqian was indeed unnerved. Moments ago, Gu Ziqian had been haughtily berating her, roughly grasping her jaw, and spewing venomous insults. Now, she was half-kneeling, pleading for clemency? Her current appearance was undeniably pathetic.

"Sister Xia, naturally, I understand my words. You believe I am unsuitable to stand beside Brother Yao as his woman; you contend that only Sister Xia is the most fitting in this entire world. Sister Xia, since Brother Yao belongs to you, could you please show me mercy? I harbor no intention of competing with you for Brother Yao." Gu Ziqian dabbed at her tear-streaked cheeks, blinked a few times, and continued speaking in a sobbing voice.

Xia Qingqian let out a sigh, "Miss Gu, why are your words so utterly nonsensical?" It was clear to Xia Qingqian that Gu Ziqian had not meant what she said earlier, and furthermore, Xia Qingqian herself had never uttered such words. How had Gu Ziqian managed to twist the truth so effectively?
