"To reach this point," Xie Ruotong still looked intently at Song Yanqing, her gaze void of any flicker or fear, "is it not the consequence of the gentleman's doing?"
Song Yanqing's expression grew increasingly unpleasant.
Yet Xie Ruotong seemed indifferent, "Had the gentleman not been so partial to Xie Ruilin, how could I have resorted to such actions? How could I have intentionally targeted Xie Ruilin in such a manner?"
"You admit it?" Song Yanqing said sarcastically.
He arranged accommodations for Xie Ruilin tonight but didn't accompany her to sleep; instead, he went straight to Xie Ruotong's room.
He thought Xie Ruotong wouldn't admit to it.
But she was so forthright.
"I have told you before, I said, a woman without her husband's favor or a child will not be happy," Xie Ruotong stated bluntly, "It was the gentleman who rejected me. Since the gentleman disagrees, I could only rely on myself."
