What it sounds like
You are easy to see through, Mr. Bridgerton.
What it really means

Said today
“Nice try, Colin—you’re using me to keep the matchmaking moms away, and it’s obvious.”
What was happening
Colin is talking with Lady Danbury while marriage-minded mothers seek eligible men at the party. She sees that he is using her as a shield and calls out his transparent tactic.
