Upon hearing this, Nanny Jiang snorted again and bluntly pointed out, "She really thinks she's the master! If she were even slightly sensible and well-behaved, she wouldn't be dragging others into this mess! In my opinion, she heard the Fifth Young Master say he wanted to take a bath, and that's why she couldn't wait to kick you out!"
Xuan Di's shout just now was a loud one, made in an attempt to avoid Jiang Nan Niang, and Hua Xiao and the little palace maid were in the side hall at the time, so they naturally heard it.
The little palace maid dared not reply, but a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, clearly indicating that she agreed with what the wet nurse Jiang said.
Nanny Jiang didn't ask the young maid to reply. She only glanced at the maid and said indifferently, "Remember, you serve the Fifth Young Master and Princess Fuying. As for her, no matter what she is, she is just the princess's playmate. No matter what grievances she suffered in the past, it is not a reason for us to indulge her."
"Yes, I understand."
"Alright, you can go now." Nanny Jiang dismissed the little palace maid. Looking through the window, she saw that Hua Xiao was no longer in sight. She got up and returned to the little baby's side, taking out her needle and thread to embroider a little coat for the baby.
At the end of the corridor, the little girl was pleasantly surprised to find that the side hall was unattended! She immediately tiptoed in.
Upon entering, one sees a wooden screen, behind which a misty haze fills the room.
Hua Xiao's heart pounded wildly, her cheeks flushed from the damp mist, and she clenched her fists tightly as she tiptoed toward the place where the moisture was most abundant.
"go out."
A faint chill, undisturbed and still.
Hua Xiao was so frightened that she froze on the spot, her eyes wide with shock as she looked around. She even mustered her courage to look up at the top of her head, only to find that there was no one there.
Hua Xiao's heart was pounding with fear. She stood there stiffly for a long time, so long that she even thought that the sound she had just heard was just her imagination.
Just as she mustered her courage again, held her breath, and took another step, the boy's cold and sharp voice rang out again without warning.
“Take one more step forward and you'll be doomed. Little girl, this is not a place for you, and the thoughts in your head right now are not for you. Get out.”
Immediately following was the sound of dripping water.
Hua Xiao listened to the boy's cold voice, which, though chilling, was more pleasant than any other voice she had ever heard, indifferent as jade and clear as bamboo.
The little girl ignored the blunt tone in Xuandi's words, her cheeks flushed and stiff, but her heart was pounding even harder.
Hua Xiao blushed. The usually timid girl suddenly found courage from somewhere. Her whole body trembled slightly, but she still spoke loudly, "I...I...I worked as a bath attendant in the manor. I heard...I heard that the young master wants to...take a bath..."
"Heh." A faint, sarcastic smile.
Upon hearing this sound, Hua Xiao shuddered from the chilling coldness within it, and her face gradually paled.
"Get out." His voice was cold and chilling, his imposing aura shaking the entire room.
When had Hua Xiao ever faced such an aura? She trembled like a leaf, terrified by the rampant killing intent in Xuan Di's words. All her chaotic thoughts vanished. Her face turned deathly pale, and she turned and scrambled away.
As soon as she turned her head, she realized that her legs were trembling and weak, and she stumbled to the ground. She didn't dare to stop for a moment and immediately crawled out using both her hands and feet. Finally, she got out of the door and barely managed to stand up against a pillar.
"Squeak—"
