One day, she went with Qingmu to check on the newly reclaimed land. On the way, she asked him, "Brother, what do you think of Huai Zi's cousin?"
Qingmu was stunned. 'My sister also noticed that Yu Qin has feelings for Huai Zi?'
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "It was my first time meeting her, so how would I know what she's like? Why are you asking about her?"
Juhua asked suspiciously, "You... you were staring at her that day. I thought you'd taken a fancy to her." She decided to be direct to make sure her brother understood what she was getting at, so they wouldn't talk at cross-purposes.
Qingmu stopped in his tracks and looked at her, exasperated. "How could that be? I wasn't..."
He wanted to say that he was staring at her because he noticed she had feelings for Huai Zi. But when he looked at his sister, he swallowed his words. Instead, he told Juhua, "Don't make wild guesses. Huai Zi said his cousin is about to get married—his uncle is helping her find a husband."
