Chapter 224 Does Shen Wantang like me even a little bit?

Xiao Qingyuan felt a lump in his throat, then turned and walked away with a cold face and gritted teeth.

Shen Wantang didn't care about his anger. As soon as Xiao Qingyuan left, she felt that her bedroom looked much better.

Qin Xin and Du Juan walked in together.

Qin Xin: "Princess Consort, why did the Prince leave so soon? He was fine just now. Du Juan wanted to wake you up, but the Prince wouldn't let her, saying that you should sleep a little longer."

Du Juan: "The young master looks very unwell. Did you say something to him? He asked you for medicine, and you didn't give it to him?"

Shen Wantang was slightly taken aback: "I... forgot to give it to you."

"Oh? Is the young master angry?"

Qin Xin's face showed worry: "Just now I thought that the young master was starting to care about you, which was a good sign, but now it seems that this is not a good sign! Princess Consort, you can't do this next time. If you really anger the young master, what will happen if he holds a grudge against you?"

Shen Wantang gently shook her head: "No, even if the young master is angry, he'll be fine after a while. He won't hold a grudge against me."

"Are you... sure?"

"Absolutely certain."

Shen Wantang always felt that Xiao Qingyuan had a great advantage: he didn't hold grudges.

If someone offends him, he may be furious at the time, or he may impulsively curse, but after his anger subsides, he will forget the grudge, and he will even think the best of the person.

He would only hold a grudge and seek revenge if it was a matter of life and death. For example, in his previous life, Shen Mingxuan killed Chu Yanluo, and he had sought revenge on Shen Mingxuan.

Even though he hated Shen Mingxuan to the extreme, he did not kill her. He was heartbroken at the loss of his beloved, and in extreme pain, he did not choose to kill her, but chose to commit suicide.

Xiao Qingyuan is not a ruthless person at heart; he is easily soft-hearted and easily forgives others.

This is both a disadvantage and a advantage.

"Cuckoo".

Shen Wantang sighed and said, "Take the medicine and send it to the young master. We can't let him make a wasted trip."

"yes."

Du Juan took the medicine and quickly left the courtyard to catch up with Xiao Qingyuan.

Qin Xin's face lit up with joy: "The Crown Princess still cares about the Crown Prince. When I saw you make him leave in anger, I thought you disliked him!"

"disgust?"

Shen Wantang looked at her with amusement: "With a face like that, who could possibly hate the young master?"

Qin Xin nodded in agreement: "That's true. Our young master is one of the most handsome men in the capital. Countless girls used to secretly admire him. Every time the young master went out, he had to help up countless girls who 'accidentally' fell down."

Shen Wantang laughed; she had heard these rumors before.

Xiao Qingyuan was indeed exceptionally handsome. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also tall and upright. In addition, he had a noble background and an arrogant yet righteous temperament. He was practically surrounded by top-notch auras, so it was only natural that girls would be attracted to him.

In the garden, Du Juan had already caught up with Xiao Qingyuan.

She held the ointment in both hands and handed it over: "Your Highness, you left in such a hurry that you forgot to take your medicine. This is an ointment that the Princess Consort specially instructed me to bring to you. Please take a look and see if it is suitable for you."

Xiao Qingyuan's originally gloomy expression improved considerably because of the unexpected ointment.

Has Shen Wantang bowed down to him?

They even took the initiative to send his maid to deliver medicine to him.

He took the ointment: "That's more like it. At least she still has some conscience. Okay, go back now and tell her I'm not angry."

"yes."

Du Juan responded and turned to leave.

Xiao Qingyuan watched her retreating figure, weighed the medicine in his hand, and asked Mo Ji beside him, "Do you think Shen Wantang likes me even a little bit?"

Mo Ji's brain went blank for a moment, staring at his master in astonishment—where did he get that idea? Just because of the ointment that the Crown Princess sent?

He said tactfully, "My lord, the Crown Princess seems to be different from other women."

Xiao Qingyuan nodded: "Yes, she is very different from other women. Other women who like someone will pester them, but she is special. She actually resists."

Moji: "..." Sir, that's not what I meant!

"I used to think she was just an ordinary person, but now I think she's quite extraordinary. On one hand, she gave me a cold shoulder and chased me away, but on the other hand, she brought me ointment to cheer me up. I almost felt like I had married two princesses."

Mo Ji couldn't help but scratch his head. The Crown Princess sent someone to deliver the medicine, which was probably just a polite gesture, or perhaps she still respected the Crown Prince and didn't want him to leave empty-handed.

As for liking... If someone as clever and perceptive as the Crown Princess truly liked the Crown Prince, he probably wouldn't be able to leave today.

However, Mo Ji wisely didn't say much; he still hoped that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's relationship would improve.

They're acting like this now, they're really not like a married couple at all, even he, as their servant, is worried for them.

Xiao Qingyuan was in a good mood all afternoon. The unpleasantness of being kicked out of the bedroom by Shen Wantang had completely disappeared. He even went to Princess Ning's courtyard to keep her company for a while because he was in a good mood.

Princess Ning was almost moved to tears by her son's sudden thoughtfulness and understanding; her sensible and filial son had finally returned!

After Xiao Qingyuan left, Princess Ning couldn't help but ask Granny Quan, "What's wrong with Yuan'er today? He suddenly stopped contradicting me. I'm not used to it. Is it a miracle?"

Granny Quan said with a smile, "It was the Crown Princess who took action. The Crown Prince went to the Crown Princess's courtyard, and this is what happened after he came out."

Princess Ning suddenly realized: "I knew it! That scoundrel suddenly changed his ways. It turns out it was Tang'er's doing again."

Yes, that's right.

"By the way, I heard that Xi'er was causing a ruckus in her yard, smashing and throwing everything she could, deliberately trying to make trouble for Tang'er?"

"Oh dear, my princess, your news is outdated. The princess has already quietly eaten lunch and gone for a nap."

"What, she's finally tired of making a scene? She's finally quieted down?"

"The Crown Princess managed to calm him down!"

"What? It was Tang'er's doing again? Tell me quickly, how did she manage to control Xi'er? Even I can't control her!"

"The Crown Princess said that the Princess's methods were too childish and told her to come up with more sophisticated methods before using them against her, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. The Princess did not want to admit defeat, so she racked her brains to devise sophisticated methods, but she got so tired of thinking that she fell asleep."

Princess Ning's eyes lit up: "You managed to put down Xi'er's arrogance so easily? I was worried that Tang'er would fight with her, after all, Xi'er's mouth is really sharp, even I, as her mother, sometimes can't stand it. I didn't expect Tang'er to handle it so effortlessly!"
