"This is what makes it interesting, isn't it?" Old Qii chuckled, "So, what kind of choice will you make?"
"And what if I choose neither? What will you do then?" Xiao Yao retorted sharply.
"Old Qii, stop wasting words with her," the arrogant and irritable maid said, "Just let her take a bullet from me and be done with it. When that person investigates, we'll say it was the Qian Family who killed her. Killing two birds with one stone, how perfect."
Her killing two birds with one stone referred to the fact that they were currently trying to bring down the Qian Family and elevate the Shen Family, and conveniently pin Xiao Yao's death on the Qian Family. That way, when the investigation started, the responsibility would fall on the Qian Family. Furthermore, their master happened to want Xiao Yao dead, so their move would serve a great service, potentially earning them a significant merit in the eyes of their master.
