Fortunately, there weren't many people around at this time; otherwise, Qu Fulan would have cursed the other party. If he intended to return the lost item, he should have handed it to her maid directly instead of insisting she collect it personally.
This was, after all, the original male protagonist, and she was always worried about getting entangled with him. If something went wrong, it might trigger some aspect of the original plot, which could be troublesome.
Furthermore, letting others see Young Lady Pei together with Prince Xiao wouldn't bode well if it were to spread.
Given her sensitive identity, avoiding such situations was the wisest course of action.
"Thank you, Prince Xiao, for returning the item to its rightful owner," Qu Fulan spoke very politely.
Xiao Shiqing did not immediately return it but instead asked a question.
"Is this sachet made by you?"
