Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

Xie Qingyu blinked, giving her an expression that said, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Qin Shenzhi raised an eyebrow. It seemed that his absence for some time had made Xie Qingyu less afraid of him.

"That's what Aunt Xin said," Qin Shenzhi added, not giving Xie Qingyu any chance to play dumb.

Xie Qingyu then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm just interested in what happened at the Marquis's residence before."

Qin Shenzhi's expression suddenly turned cold. He lowered his head and focused his gaze on Xie Qingyu, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, you'd better tell the truth." Qin Shenzhi's voice was somewhat cold.

He watched with satisfaction as Xie Qingyu clenched her fists before subtly curving his lips into a smile, so quick it was almost imperceptible.

"I was just chatting with Aunt Xin about what happened before, and I was a little curious as to why you dislike the Lady of the Marquis and my husband so much."

Xie Qingyu's frankness struck Qin Shenzhi as grating.

Especially her constant use of the phrase "my husband".

"What, do you want to know what happened and see if I can let your husband go?" Qin Shenzhi asked in a hoarse voice.

"No..." Xie Qingyu glared at him, her eyes moist, yet stubbornly questioning how he could say such a thing.

Only Qin Shenzhi in the mansion knew that she was the one who least wanted Qin Lingrong to return.

Now that Qin Shenzhi is saying this, it makes people feel wronged for no reason.

Seeing the change in Xie Qingyu's expression, Qin Shenzhi's throat tightened, and his voice unconsciously softened, "I was just asking."

Xie Qingyu didn't even look at him, but looked to the side, trying her best to suppress her emotions and ignore Qin Shenzhi.

Qin Shenzhi even suspected that if he had spoken any harsher, the tears in Xie Qingyu's eyes would have fallen immediately.

She seemed so dignified before, and although I knew she always put on a brave face in public, I never expected her to be like this in private.

Qin Shenzhi didn't know what to feel for a moment. He, who had always disliked women crying, was not annoyed at all by Xie Qingyu's current state. On the contrary, he found it quite amusing.

He was especially excited when he thought that he might be the only one who had ever seen Xie Qingyu like this.

Qin Shenzhi attributed his current reaction to never having met such a person before, which made him want to see what other unknown aspects she had.

Looking at Xie Qingyu now, Qin Shenzhi tilted his head and leaned closer, completely unaware of how inappropriate his actions were for their respective identities.

"Is my sister-in-law angry with me?"

Seeing the sharp, angular face approaching, Xie Qingyu instinctively reached out to push him away. However, she didn't expect Qin Shenzhi to get closer. Xie Qingyu's outstretched hand covered Qin Shenzhi's face, and she could feel his warm breath in her palm.

Xie Qingyu was startled, and before she could retract her hand, it was firmly grasped by a pair of large hands.

With her wrist gripped and unable to move an inch, Xie Qingyu could only watch helplessly as her hand remained on Qin Shenzhi's face, his high, straight nose right beneath her grasp.

It seemed like they were frozen in time for a moment before Qin Shenzhi slowly moved his hand away, revealing a perfectly sculpted face to Xie Qingyu once again.

If you push someone away, it seems like you won't feel this awkwardness.

The current stillness left Xie Qingyu feeling somewhat at a loss, as if she had hit Qin Shenzhi.

Qin Shenzhi lowered his eyes, and even when Xie Qingyu moved her hand away, he did not look at her.

It left people wondering how he would react.

This feeling is most likely to make people panic. Xie Qingyu subconsciously struggled again, but failed to pull her hand back.

“If my sister-in-law is angry, you can hit her directly,” Qin Shenzhi said slowly.

"I didn't..." Xie Qingyu was terribly wronged. If Qin Shenzhi hadn't suddenly leaned his face close to hers, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

It sounds like she was beating people unreasonably.

"If you're still not satisfied, you can hit me again." Qin Shenzhi's face suddenly came closer, and the two of them were face to face. Xie Qingyu's hand was still in his hand. Suddenly being so close made her afraid to move, and she even seemed to hold her breath.

Qin Shenzhi observed her reaction, his face remaining expressionless, but his dark eyes fixed on Xie Qingyu.

Until Xie Qingyu couldn't stand it anymore and blurted out, "I'm not angry!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shenzhi slowly straightened up and distanced himself from Xie Qingyu.

"It's good that you're not angry." Qin Shenzhi lowered his eyes and let go.

Xie Qingyu flexed her fingers and felt a slight pain where he had grabbed her; she hadn't known how much force he used!

Before Xie Qingyu could fully retract her hand, Qin Shenzhi suddenly grabbed it again.

"What is this?" Qin Shenzhi looked at the several marks on Xie Qingyu's hand.

Looking at Xie Qingyu's face, he suddenly realized that these were the marks left by her fingernails when she clenched her fists.

Qin Shenzhi suddenly felt a little irritated. Although her reaction was funny, she was too timid and ended up hurting herself.

Next time, try not to scare her too much.

He appears bold, but is actually incredibly timid.

Qin Shenzhi couldn't help but touch the red mark left by her fingernail with his thumb. "Doesn't it hurt?"

Xie Qingyu only understood what he meant when she followed his gaze.

It's really not noticeable that such a mark is left on the palm of the hand. If Qin Shenzhi hadn't pointed it out, Xie Qingyu wouldn't have realized that such a mark would be left when she was performing a frightened act.

But since Qin Shenzhi asked that question...

When Xie Qingyu looked up again, her eyes were already brimming with tears, but not a single drop fell.

Qin Shenzhi's breath hitched, and he subconsciously tightened his grip.

This man seemed to have some misunderstanding about his strength. Xie Qingyu was really hurt by his grip this time. She cried out in pain, and tears immediately fell from her eyes.

Qin Shenzhi panicked completely.

After a long pause, he remembered to take out a handkerchief to wipe Xie Qingyu's tears and let go of her hand.

Xie Qingyu turned her head away to refuse his handkerchief, while forcing a smile, "Don't look at me."

Qin Shenzhi agreed verbally, but his eyes were fixed on Xie Qingyu, who had turned around, watching her reaction. "Okay."

Looking at Xie Qingyu, who he had made cry, Qin Shenzhi was truly puzzled.

I don't know how, but the positions were reversed.

He was the one who initially had leverage over Xie Qingyu, questioning her about why she inquired about his past. He was absolutely in the right.

How did things turn out like this? How did he become the one in the wrong?

Even he himself felt a little guilty.

Qin Shenzhi unconsciously raised his hand, unsure of what he was about to grasp.

While he was in a daze, Xie Qingyu moved and reached out to snatch the handkerchief from his hand.

Qin Shenzhi looked down and saw that Xie Qingyu's yellow handkerchief was already soaked with tears.

Qin Shenzhi didn't speak, but as if possessed, he reached out and gently put the handkerchief into his palm.
