Chapter 175 -176: Luo Jiner Apologizes
Shao He walked out of the room, intentionally casting her gaze into the distance. Seeing no one there, a trace of loss swept across the depths of her eyes.
Even during dinner she was somewhat distracted, staring at the food on the table without any appetite. She ate only a few bites before putting down her chopsticks and rising to leave.
Qing Shan, puzzled, turned to the person beside her and asked, “Why does the young miss seem unhappy?”
“You don’t know? Want to know? Beg me and I will tell you,” Qingxia said with a smug expression.
It was rare for her sister not to know something. Usually, she wasn’t spared from bullying, but today she had the chance to turn the tables.
Qing Shan’s lips curled into a cold smile, and with a snap, she placed her chopsticks down on the table, “Are you going to talk or not?”
“It’s the Fifth Prince. The two of them seem to have had a misunderstanding, but as for the specifics, I’m not clear either.”
Qingxia blurted out everything, fearful of being hit if she hesitated even for a moment.
Qing Shan stared at her suspiciously until Qingxia swore that there was not a half-truth in her words, only then did she nod in acknowledgment.
Shao He tossed and turned all night, utterly unable to sleep.
Her mind kept replaying the image of her falling that day; her ears even turned red. She took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and tried to calm herself, striving to ignore the voices in her mind and forcing herself to sleep.

The next morning, as the sky began to brighten, Shao He got up with dark circles under her eyes, Qingxia already waiting outside the door.
About fifteen minutes later, Shao He finished grooming. Today she wore a light blue long dress embroidered with exquisite patterns in gold thread at her waist, her hair styled in a flying fairy bun with a few simple Jade Hairpins slanted in, her skin as luminous and translucent as white porcelain, her features delicate and exquisite. With just a little adornment, she was certainly a beauty.
“Miss is indeed the most beautiful,” Qingxia said with a giggly smile.
Shao He gave a gentle smile, stood up, and tapped on Qingxia’s forehead, “Just your sweet talk.”
“Not at all, this servant is merely telling the truth. With Miss’s beauty, she ranks among the top beauties in the Capital City,” Qingxia said proudly, her chin tilted upward.
Shao He, amused by her gesture, saw Qing Shan enter and bow slightly, saying, “Miss, the Marquis has come with Luo Jiner and is waiting outside. Shall I ask them to leave?”
“He brought Luo Jiner?”
“Yes,” Qing Shan nodded.
“Ha!” Shao He chuckled softly as she stood up, her face an inscrutable mask, her thoughts unfathomable to anyone.
“Why would the Marquis bring her here? Could it be that…” Qingxia mumbled, frowning in confusion.
“Hmph, no matter what his intentions are, it has nothing to do with us. Just sit quietly and enjoy the show,” Shao He said indifferently as she combed her hair in front of the mirror. “In that case, please invite them in.”
Qing Shan bowed respectfully, “Yes.”
After she left, Qingxia leaned in and whispered to Shao He, “Miss, you’re not still harboring feelings for the Marquis, are you?”
Shao He glanced at her and walked slowly toward the hall.
Qingxia hurried after her, continuing, “Miss, you need to think this through. The Marquis’s mansion is currently in deep turmoil, and the Marquis is not a man worthy of your lifelong commitment.”
“Moreover, this servant heard that the Marquis frequents his concubine’s quarters every day. If Miss goes back to him, you will surely suffer in the future. Also, Old Madam Chu is difficult to deal with. Wouldn’t it be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire…”
The more Qingxia thought about it, the more frightened she became, especially when she saw Marquis Chu’s gaze, which always seemed sinister. She felt that the Fifth Prince and Miss were more suited.
Shao He stopped in her tracks, turned and looked at her, “Who told you that I still have feelings for Chu Yu?”
“Miss, you usually show no interest in the Marquis. Not only did you treat his illness but now you’re willing to see him. Doesn’t this show that you still harbor old feelings for the Marquis?” Qingxia’s voice grew quieter toward the end.
Shao He was not angry but instead remembered the time she treated Chu Yu when Pei Huaian’s expression seemed off.
Before she could think further, a figure rushed up to her, seized her arms and said, “Shao He, I’ve come with Luo Jiner to apologize. Please don’t be upset with me anymore.”
Shao He coldly pushed him away, stepping back to put some distance between them, tilting her head to glance into the hall, where she saw Luo Jiner standing there with a pitiable‒looking expression.
Chu Yu turned his head, his gaze sternly sweeping over, and Luo Jiner, biting her lower lip, came forward and knelt before Shao He, “I’m sorry, madam, it was all my fault, I was blinded by foolishness, I was shameless, all the faults are mine.”
“You admit what you’ve done!” Chu Yu said harshly.
“I, I stole madam’s credit, it was madam who saved the Marquis. I played the victim, framed madam for bullying me, and caused the Marquis to misunderstand her, it was all me.” Luo Jiner cried miserably, looking very pitiful.
Shao He listened quietly to Luo Jiner’s so-called truth, feeling neither ripple nor indignation but rather a pronounced sense of irony.
Chu Yu seized the opportunity to clear himself, “You’ve heard it, it was all her, I was the victim too. She has been stirring up trouble, causing us to misunderstand each other deeply.”
“Now, however you wish to deal with Luo Jiner, I will not intervene. It all depends on you.”
Chu Yu perfectly crafted an innocent image for himself, as if he wasn’t the one who wanted to kill the child, as if he had done nothing wrong before. Such a person was truly the most terrifying.
