After hearing that, Ms. Fang felt a pang of guilt and realized that she had been too harsh with her cousin. It seemed that her cousin was actually quite reasonable and level-headed.

The two nieces appeared to be quiet, gentle, and even attractive. Perhaps they could be a suitable choice after all.

Nis. Fang was almost ready to make a decision. She decided to observe Qi’s reaction first and see if he was open to accepting them, before finalizing any alliance.

However, she soon discovered that her distant cousin was deceitful. She was scheming to manipulate her eldest daughter into seducing Qi, hoping to force the Shao Family into marrying her daughter.

As the girl entered the Shao Family’s luxurious home, she couldn’t help but envy their wealth. The house was grand and well-lit, and everyone in the Shao Family was adorned with jade bracelets and silver ornaments. They enjoyed plentiful meals with meat, unlike her own family who often had to make do with simple grains and rice. This made her even more jealous.

Feeling desperate when Ms. Fang didn’t readily approve of their proposal, the girl’s mother came up with a terrible idea. Despite her nervousness, she gathered her courage and reluctantly agreed to the plan.

Initially, their plan was to stage a fall, pretending to accidentally stumble into Qi’s arms. However, they soon realized that this wouldn’t be solid evidence to convince Ms. Fang. She could easily deny it and cause a commotion.

It was clear that Ms. Fang had reservations about them, which made her unwilling to proceed. If they only relied on a staged fall, she could easily dismiss it and create a fuss about the incident.

Only when the girl’s reputation was completely ruined would their deceitful plan have a chance of success.

That evening, after dinner, the girl made an excuse to retire early to her guest room. However, instead of sleeping, she sneaked into Qi’s yard and eventually into his room.

Qi had his own yard, and his room’s door was left unlocked, even during the night. It was an easy task for the girl to enter unnoticed.

Coincidentally, earlier in the day, Ms. Fang had left Qi’s blankets out in the sun to air but had forgotten to bring them back to his room.

As Qi carried the blankets back to his bedroom, Ms. Fang accompanied him, holding a lamp to light their way.

Upon entering the room, they noticed a silhouette projected on the wall. At first, they were startled, but they quickly regained their composure.

Qi, known for his bravery and skill in handling crises, silently gestured to Ms. Fang, urging her to stay calm.

With careful steps, Qi approached and grasped the object responsible for the silhouette.

The girl, caught off guard by Qi’s presence, let out a scream of fright.

Both Ms. Fang and Qi were taken aback by the unexpected situation unfolding before them.

Their shock intensified upon realizing the girl’s late-night presence.

What could she possibly be doing here at such a time?

Soon, realization dawned upon Ms. Fang, and a wave of embarrassment flushed over her. Qi, on the other hand, was instantly overcome with a mixture of anger and embarrassment.

It became clear to both of them that this girl had deliberately snuck into an unmarried man’s room and concealed herself in the corner with a specific motive in mind.

Meanwhile, the cousin who had orchestrated this plan had been extremely anxious and completely focused on the task at hand.

Although the Shao Family had a sizable yard, it was not as expansive as those belonging to true noble and affluent families.

Considering the proximity of the rooms, if a scream were to erupt, it would undoubtedly reach the ears of the other family members..
