It's hard to say whether it's Qi Jingren's secrecy that's making Su Jiuyi feel somewhat uneasy, or if there's some other reason. She let out a muffled "oh" and looked down at the stones beneath her feet, saying nothing more.

"Why is your dress wet?" Shi Aoju noticed a wet patch on her dress.
Prompted by Shi Aoju, Su Jiuyi quickly remembered that she had run out of the restroom earlier, forgetting that her dress was still damp and now clinging to her skin in a very awkward manner.
"It's all because of you," she shook out her dress, a tone of complaint in her voice, "Those wealthy young ladies who adore you always cause me trouble."
Shi Aoju heard this and couldn't help but raise his fine-looking lips, "For them to cause you trouble, it must mean you're a threat to them."
With that, he turned and left.
Su Jiuyi: "..."
What did he mean by that?
