Why was Mrs. Zhu so sure that Ji Xiu'e could save her?
Ji Huan hadn't given any face to Ji Qingshan or Granny Kang, so did Mrs. Zhu really expect her to defer to Ji Xiu'e?
Or perhaps, Mrs. Zhu wasn't asking for help, but issuing a threat?
Ji Huan tried to recall the two women's subtle expressions and movements.
Unfortunately, her mind had been completely focused on Dabao at the time, so she hadn't paid much attention.
She only remembered that just as Mrs. Zhu, in her panic-addled state, was about to reveal something, Ji Xiu'e had rushed over and cut her off.
'What was Mrs. Zhu about to say?'
'Did Ji Xiu'e interrupt her on purpose, or was it an accident?'
After that, Ji Xiu'e had interrupted Mrs. Zhu more than once. It seemed she didn't want Mrs. Zhu to speak at all.
Mrs. Zhu had then simply told her to take up any issues with Ji Xiu'e.
And Ji Xiu'e had indeed been trying her hardest to cover for Mrs. Zhu.
