Xie Ruotong ultimately did not reply with a single word.
She also did not kindly inform Xie Ruilin that since Song Yanqing knew she was deliberately causing trouble, he should not have been so arrogant.
Admittedly, Song Yanqing now favored Xie Ruilin, but with his upright character, he would eventually comment on Xie Ruilin's behavior.
And as Xie Ruilin was spoiled and arrogant, basking in the adoration that Song Yanqing had for her without restraint... one day, Xie Ruilin would spoil all the good impressions Song Yanqing had in his heart.
Today, she asked to be punished alongside Qiao'er partly to lessen Qiao'er's punishment, and partly to instill a sense of guilt in Song Yanqing's heart.
Feel guilty towards her.
And consequently, have criticisms towards Xie Ruilin.
But Xie Ruilin, utterly oblivious.
Instead, she remained haughtily triumphant.
For a long time.
Xie Ruilin chattered merrily for quite a while.
It was only when she truly felt cold that she left.
