Xia Lan looked puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xia Chuyi replied with a light laugh, "I just came to tell you that Brother Qing should be able to return home and reunite with you soon."
Xia Lan was shocked again, "What exactly do you mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like," she said with utter calm. "Not long ago, materials accusing He Qing of slander were submitted to the troops in Provincial City."
"With flawed character and discharged from service... or even expelled, wouldn't Brother Qing return home and accompany you every day?"
Seeing Xia Lan's shocked and disbelieving face, Xia Chuyi's expression grew even colder. With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she looked at Xia Lan sideways and said, "This matter regarding He Qing is just a small warning."
"You, Xia Lan, if you provoke me again, I promise I will make you understand what real 'fear' is."
Xia Chuyi's eyes fixed on Xia Lan with an imposing air.
"You..." Xia Lan was momentarily at a loss for words.
