Chapter 74 You've already fallen in love with Shen Wantang?

Qin Xin nodded repeatedly: "Of course, our Crown Princess is gentle and opinionated. Who wouldn't like talking to her? She's also very good at managing the household. Even the Prince and Princess praise her highly. The Crown Prince can't find any fault with her at all."

"When the Crown Princess speaks, it's like a gentle breeze, unlike that Chu Yanluo, who always holds her chin up and looks down on people, her arrogant tail practically wagging in the air. Anyone who talks to her will be choked to death by her!"

"The young master has been criticized by her quite a few times. Our young master has had it too easy in the past. Everyone has always coaxed and indulged him. No one has ever criticized him like this before. If someone suddenly treats him like this, he will definitely find it novel and interesting at first, but after a while, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it."

Xiao Qingyuan isn't a masochist. He does like Chu Yanluo's unconventionality, but he might not like arguing with her every day. Right now, their feelings are intense, so he can tolerate it. But if their feelings fade, can he still tolerate it with his spoiled young master temper?

As the two were talking, a second-class maid rushed in from outside.

The maidservant lowered her voice and said, "Sister Qinxin, you should go and see! There's a commotion at Xinghe Courtyard! That woman from Jixin Nunnery is insisting that you become her maid, and she's forcing the young master to come here again to ask the young master's wife for you!"

Qin Xin and Shu Xiang exchanged a glance, then said in unison, "Let's go see what's going on!"

Star Harbour Courtyard.

Chu Yanluo looked displeased: "Your Highness keeps saying you love me, so why won't you even give me a maid? You even said you wanted me to be your Crown Princess, but I think you're just lying to me. You won't even give me a maid, how can you expect me to be your Crown Princess?"

In the past, if Xiao Qingyuan saw that she was unhappy, he wouldn't care whose fault it was; he would definitely try to coax her first.

But now, his mindset has changed.

Because Chu Yanluo may have lied to him.

After Gu Qianhan left that night, he never returned to the Ning Prince's Mansion. How could he have drugged Chu Yanluo and forced her to do those shameful things with him?

His tone was tinged with impatience: "Didn't I already buy you maids? They were all bought according to your requirements. They are all obedient and efficient. Aren't you satisfied? Do you still want me to snatch Shen Wantang's maids?"

"How is this robbery? Anyway, Shen Wantang has plenty of maids. What's wrong with giving me one to use? These new maids you bought don't know any rules. I just want one who knows the rules of the Prince's Mansion. Can't you even meet such a small request?"

"You don't like Qin Xin at all. Yesterday you said she was ugly, but today you insist on having her. What are you trying to do? Can't you just shut up for once? Do you have to turn the whole palace upside down before you're satisfied?"

Chu Yanluo finally realized something was wrong. Half an hour ago, Xiao Qingyuan looked at her with infatuation, and because of her impassioned rebuke of Gu Qianhan at Qingyun Tower, there was even admiration in his eyes for her.

Why did he change after going to Wutong Garden? He even complained that she was too restless.

What did Shen Wantang say to him?

How could he have changed so much?

Chu Yanluo clenched her hands tightly. She had scratched her face to finally convince Xiao Qingyuan to believe her, but that damned Shen Wantang had managed to reverse Xiao Qingyuan's attitude so easily!

How did she do that?

How come she's even harder to deal with than her elder sister, Shen Mingxuan?

Chu Yanlu gritted her teeth. She refused to believe it. How could she, a person who had been reborn, be no match for a mediocre concubine's daughter?

Her eyes reddened: "Your Highness, you have no conscience. When did I turn the Prince's mansion upside down? It was clearly the people from the Prince's mansion who bullied me. You didn't protect me, and now you're blaming me?"

"I did say Qin Xin was ugly, but I didn't mind her looks. I only admired her because she has some talent! It would be a waste to have someone like her by Shen Wantang's side. Shen Wantang doesn't know how to use people at all!"

Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "How come Shen Wantang doesn't know how to use people? All those maids and nannies are doing their jobs well under her care, and not one of them has caused any trouble. She is clearly very good at using people, otherwise she wouldn't be able to manage the entire palace so well!"

Hearing him praise Shen Wantang, Chu Yanluo felt a burning jealousy. She suddenly stood up and said, "Since you think Shen Wantang is so good, why don't you go and be with her? Why force me to stay here? Have you changed your mind? Don't you love me anymore? Have you fallen in love with Shen Wantang? You men, none of you are reliable!"

Xiao Qingyuan angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting! When did I fall in love with Shen Wantang? I'm with you every day, revolving around you every day. How could I have time to change my mind? On the contrary, have you done anything to betray me?!"

"Xiao Qingyuan, what have I done to wrong you? You're not still bothered by Gu Qianhan, are you? I've already told you, he drugged me and forced me. I'm innocent! I thought you were different from others, that you wouldn't be so vulgar, but I didn't expect you to be so vulgar! Holding onto such a trivial matter!"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned ashen with anger: "This is no small matter! I only said a few words to Shen Wantang, and you gave me the cold shoulder and threw a tantrum, acting like you were going to die. But you slept with another man, and I can't even say a few words to you? You call this a small matter? Then what is a big matter?"

Chu Yanlu burst into tears: "How can this be the same? You spoke to Shen Wantang on your own initiative, your intentions were impure! But I was forced, my intentions are pure, I only have you in my heart, there has never been anyone else! But what about you, do you dare to say that you still only have me in your heart? You have clearly fallen for Shen Wantang, otherwise you wouldn't be speaking up for her!"

"I have no feelings for Shen Wantang! I did not speak up for her, I was just stating the facts! She is good at managing the household, that is universally acknowledged in the Prince's Mansion!"

"You're lying!"

"I don't!"

Chu Yanluo immediately said, "If you're not attracted to her, then go to Wutong Garden and ask Qin Xin, the girl next to her, for help, and prove it to me!"

Xiao Qingyuan felt a splitting headache. He couldn't understand her thoughts: "Why would you suddenly want Shen Wantang's maid? What exactly are you trying to do?"

"You don't need to know what I'm going to do, just go and get me the people!"

"If you feel that the maids in the courtyard are not enough, I will buy you more. Why do you insist on asking for Shen Wantang's?"

"I don't want any other maids, I only want Qin Xin, I've taken a liking to her, go and get her for me!"

"Qin Xin is Shen Wantang's maid, I have no reason to ask her for her!"
