She realized that mander Cui had a bad impression of her.
Jiang Xiao had subconsciously grown used to most people’s first impressions of her being positive, so mander Cui’s unrelenting rebuke caused her gaze to slightly go cold.
Could it be that her visit to Madam Cui made mander Cui upset?
But initially, she had e with the intention of seeing if she could cure Madam Cui’s heart problem.
If mander Cui didn’t like it, he could have just told her directly to stop bothering them.
What does this attitude mean now?
Jiang Xiao was not someone who easily swallowed grievances.
Even if the person sitting across from her was mander Cui, her face turned cold, and her tone became stern as she said, "Because you are an Alliance Official and have been a Supervisor Guard on the battlefield, out of respect for the guards, I saluted you. To my knowledge, the salute was executed correctly. I am unsure how this ’inappropriate and strange’ evaluation came to be?"
Xiao Mu, listening to the side, drew in a sharp breath.
Last time when this young lady conversed with Madam Cui, she was all smiles and very gentle. She really didn’t expect that Jiang Xiao had such a side to her.
Moreover, this was mander Cui she was confronting. Was she really not afraid?
Should she quickly go and call Madam?
mander Cui didn’t expect Jiang Xiao to dare to refute him, and his face turned stern.
"Are you a Supervisor Guard?"
"I am not."
"You’re not a guard, so why salute?" mander Cui asked coldly.
"Because, as a family member, having been around guards frequently, it happened unconsciously. If mander Cui finds it inappropriate, point it out and I will be mindful in the future. But how is this inappropriate and strange? Does mander Cui find it disrespectful that I show you such respect? Does mander Cui feel undeserving of my salute?"
Jiang Xiao immediately countered.
mander Cui was momentarily speechless.
"You’ve got quite the sharp tongue."
"I dare not," Jiang Xiao said. "I am merely voicing my doubts."
"Merely voicing your doubts," mander Cui subdued his anger and pointed to the chair opposite. "Sit down."
Jiang Xiao walked over and sat in the chair he indicated.
She suddenly understood.
This time, it wasn’t Madam Cui who called her but mander Cui through Xiao Mu’s call.
mander Cui wanted to see her?
Why?
Jiang Xiao was still a bit worried at this point, concerned that something had happened to Madam Cui. But seeing Xiao Mu’s expression, she felt it wasn’t the case.
She looked at mander Cui and asked, "I wonder where Madam Cui is?"
"I called you here. She’s still resting," mander Cui said.
Jiang Xiao suddenly realized.
So it was like that.
"Then I wonder why mander Cui called me over?"
"I hear you’re Meng Xinian’s fiancée?" mander Cui asked.
Is this because of Tyrant Meng?
Jiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.
"Yes."
"Well then, did you know about the trouble he caused in Ke Ku Li this time?"
Tyrant Meng caused trouble in Ke Ku Li? What trouble?
Jiang Xiao’s heart suddenly clenched.
No matter what mander Cui’s attitude towards her was, at this moment, she desperately wanted to know Meng Xinian’s situation in Ke Ku Li.
So she immediately shook her head and said, "I don’t know, wasn’t there no way to contact home from there?"
"Yes, there’s no way to contact home," mander Cui sneered. "However, Meng Xinian tried to bypass the mander to call back here to question a superior’s order."
