But Shen Huatang understood.
"Junior Sister, in what context do you think someone would say, 'Don't worry, I'll take care of everything'?"
Shen Huatang pondered the question, mouthing wordlessly, "When Miss encounters a difficulty... is the young master comforting her?"
"Yes, but also no."
"I'm guessing it went like this..."
Xie Tingyun's small mouth opened and closed repeatedly as she mouthed a scripted conversation:
"Second Sister is back. I'm afraid she will discover our affair. If she finds out, you and I..."
"Don't worry, Eldest Sister. I'll take care of everything."
"Mhm..."
Truth be told, Xie Tingyun's speculation about such matters was remarkably accurate. Even Shen Huatang subconsciously believed that was exactly how it happened. However, after thinking it over, she felt it didn't quite make sense.
"Eldest Miss isn't that bold, not when you and I are still right here."
