"Xia Chunyu probably didn't tell you what exactly happened. She slandered Qiao Xi for stealing the lotus bracelet, but Qiao Xi's bracelet was given to her by Madam Yin Lianxin. Xia Chunyu spouted nonsense at the Qin family's birthday party and offended Madam Qin, Gu Zheng, and even Old Madam Yin. If I had protected her, it'd be very difficult for her to walk out of the Qin family today. Do you really want the matter to blow up?
"You should know what kind of person Gu Zheng is. Xia Chunyu offended him, and as a result of that, she might die for no reason one day. How long do you think the Xia family can protect Xia Chunyu?
"I asked her to apologize to Qiao Xi because I want to let the matter rest. She can't go around causing trouble just because she's the eldest daughter of the Xia family. There's always someone in this world she can't afford to offend. Does she even know the consequences of causing trouble in Gu Zheng's territory?!"
