Xiao Jiayi's eyes reddened, but she still shook her head.
"I know I have done wrong. I dare not ask for anything more."
The Eldest Princess looked at her. It had only been a short while since they had last met, but Xiao Jiayi had clearly grown gaunt and haggard. Her cheeks were sunken, and dark circles bruised the skin beneath her eyes. Her gaze was dim and lifeless, as if veiled by a thick layer of dust.
Anyone could see that she must have been having a very difficult time lately.
The Eldest Princess had, in fact, heard rumors about the Xie Family's affairs. Seeing her today, she didn't need to ask to know that Xiao Jiayi had recently endured considerable hardship.
Although she was angry, this was her own niece. How could she truly be so heartless as to not care at all?
The Eldest Princess closed her eyes as a faint headache began to throb.
Zhuxin immediately stepped forward and began to gently massage her temples.
