Originally, I thought that after so many days had passed and she hadn't brought it up again, she had forgotten, and wouldn't bring it up ever again.
But, why did it come up again?
Qi Qin didn't know how to respond.
Madam Qi was relentless, "Speak up! Why aren't you saying anything?"
Just as Qi Qin was about to come up with another excuse to dodge the conversation, Madam Qi suddenly seemed to realize something, and she said, "Every time this matter is mentioned, you always beat about the bush, never giving a definite answer. Could it be that the emperor refuses to lend you the person, and you're afraid of upsetting me, so you're not telling the truth?"
Qi Qin: "...…"
Why did she guess so accurately?
Is a woman's sixth sense really this strong?
Qi Qin pressed his lips together and didn't reply for a long time.
Madam Qi saw this gesture and knew he was admitting it by default.
