Qin Shanshan had no idea how she'd made it home. Dazed, she sat motionless on the edge of her bed.
She sat there, stunned, for a full two hours before the distant clamor from the sun-drying ground finally broke through her stupor.
She slowly turned toward the sun-drying ground, a bone-deep hatred simmering in her eyes.
She'd seen it. She'd seen it all.
Hiding behind Tang Yuanxiao and Su Li, she had watched the villagers tease them, watched Tang Yuanxiao gaze at Su Li with utter infatuation…
As a young woman who had already tasted the stirrings of love, how could Qin Shanshan not understand the meaning behind Tang Yuanxiao's captivated gaze?
It was like a knife to the heart.
"Su Li, you can't be allowed to stay…" she hissed through clenched teeth.
She had previously tricked Su Li into letting her read every single letter Tang Yuanxiao sent home, which had convinced her that he didn't have deep feelings for Su Li.
