Unwilling

Not long ago, at the Xie Family, He Zhiqing had attempted to manipulate Taotao, only to be exposed by Qiao Xuan. The very next day, Lady Qiao had promptly sent her back to the He Family.

He Zhiqing harbored a sense of resentment towards Qiao Xuan.

Deep down, she believed that Qiao Xuan must have divulged something to Xie Jingrong. How else could it be so coincidental that Qiao Xuan encountered them on the first day, only to drive them away on the next?

Since being sent away, she had realized that she and the Xie Family cousins would never be together.

However, upon witnessing the splendor of the Xie Family, He Zhiqing lost interest in pursuing connections with any other family. Instead, she resolved to venture into the capital and establish a close relationship with the Fourth Prince, leveraging the reputation of the Xie Family and the items granted by Lady Qiao.

She was even willing to become one of the Fourth Prince's concubines.

Why not?
