"Late at night, Prince Xiao finds time to visit my territory?" Pei Ji'an spoke with a half-smile.
"You didn't give my belongings to her," Xiao Shiqing uttered just this one sentence.
Pei Ji'an raised his eyebrows, showing not a trace of guilt, "Oh, you think I'm obliged to deliver them for you?"
Xiao Shiqing remained silent.
The two faced off, neither losing in height nor in aura.
Finally, Xiao Shiqing spoke first, "Pei Ji'an, she is the fiancée I've been searching for. Though she served as a maid in your mansion, she has now regained her freedom. The matters between our two families should not involve her. I see you as a person of honor, why stoop to implicating an innocent, such a vile act?"
Pei Ji'an chuckled, "Prince Xiao, you are mistaken. It is you who involves the innocent, not I. If I recall correctly, she just severed ties with you yesterday, yet today you've come seeking her. What exactly do you intend?"
