Chapter 207 Shangguan Beiming Asks for Xiaohong
Shangguan Beiming almost jumped up.
Xiaohong, it's such a waste to call such a beautiful girl Xiaohong.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand!"
"When Sixth Brother comes back, tell him that I will come to see him tomorrow."
After saying this, Shangguan Beiming straightened his back and strode away.
Feng Xiyao picked up the tea that the man had just drunk and poured it into the flowerpot.
"What a shame for such a good tea."
Just as she was sighing, the maid beside Liu Nianci came in and called her out.
After leaving the palace, Liu Nianci happily held her hand.
"You are so amazing. I followed your instructions to be nice to other men, and Beiyuan finally looked back at me. He was jealous this morning!"
Feng Xiyao nodded with relief.
"Not bad, not bad, keep up the good work!"
Liu Nianci: "Of course, Beiyuan followed me all the way today. It was the first time he followed me!"
At this point, Feng Xiyao frowned: "Did he see you talking to another man?"
Liu Nianci clenched her hands embarrassedly.
"No, I was worried that he would be jealous and ignore me, so I went to the lake alone, and he followed me."
“…”
"You can't do that. You have to talk to another man and make him feel threatened. Then he will discover your goodness and find that he can't live without you!"
Feng Xiyao pursed her lips: "You can't do this!"
Liu Nianci frowned sadly: "What should I do? He followed me all the way today!"
Feng Xiyao rolled his eyes and thought for a long time before speaking.
"Forget about it today. Remember to find another man to be with tomorrow. It would be best if Shangguan Beiyuan could see you two talking and laughing."
"Once he realizes that you will leave him, he will naturally be reluctant to let you go, and will hold you tightly in his hands."
Liu Nianci nodded, not quite understanding: "Okay, I understand!"
Watching Liu Nianci get on the carriage and leave, Feng Xiyao shook her head and sighed.
"Just listen to me, Shangguan Beiyuan is yours now!"
…
The next morning.
Shangguan Beiyuan wanted to go to the Princess's Mansion to see if Liu Nianci had found another man.
I ran into Shangguan Beiming before I could leave the house.
Seeing him, Shangguan Beiyuan finally felt relieved. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.
When Shangguan Beiming saw him, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"What are you going to do, Sixth Brother?"
Shangguan Beiyuan curled his lips and chuckled: "Of course I knew that Third Brother was coming, so I came out to greet him."
"You are still a man of manners!"
Shangguan Beiming put his hand on his shoulder and smiled mysteriously.
"Sixth brother, Third brother, I have taken a fancy to a maid in your house. Can you give her to me?"
“…”
Shangguan Beiyuan frowned. The third prince, who had always been free and unrestrained, refused to marry no matter what his father said. Now he actually said that he fell in love with a mere maid.
I wonder if my father would skin him alive if he found out.
Seeing that he remained silent, Shangguan Beiming thought that he was unwilling to give it, and he suddenly became anxious.
"Don't worry, Third Brother, I don't want your people for nothing. Just name a price and I'll send the money over right away."
Seeing that he was still so anxious, Shangguan Beiyuan could only nod.
He agreed that the most important point was that if he had someone he liked, Liu Nianci would not bother him anymore.
She's just a maid, how could he be reluctant to let her go?
"We are all family, talking about money is too hurtful. If Third Brother wants it, just tell me and I will send someone to deliver it to your house!"
Shangguan Beiming shook his head. He felt that the girl would not be obedient, so he had to come and ask for it in person.
The two entered the house and walked to the living room.
Seeing Shangguan Beiming's excited face, Shangguan Beiyuan's mouth curled up and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Then Third Brother, tell me, you like the maid in my house. I'll ask the housekeeper to call her over."
"Yes, yes, yes, call her over here, her name is Xiaohong!"
"Little... Red?"
"Yes, she told me that her name is Xiaohong!"
Shangguan Beiming looked determined and his smile deepened.
“…”
Now it was Shangguan Beiyuan's turn to be confused, and he asked again.
"Third brother, are you sure your name is Xiaohong?"
Seeing his concern, Shangguan Beiming thought he didn't want to give it, and immediately put away the smile on his face.
"Why, Sixth Brother, you can't bear to part with it?"
“…”
Shangguan Beiyuan said nothing, but called the butler: "Call... Xiaohong over!"
The butler nodded: "Yes!"
Shangguan Beiming was so happy that he didn't notice the strange look from the man next to him.
He patted Shangguan Beiyuan's shoulder with a bright smile on his face.
"I never thought that there would be such a special woman in Sixth Brother's house. She is so well hidden!"
“…”
Thinking of Xiaohong, Shangguan Beiyuan's mouth twitched and he laughed dryly twice.
"I think that Third Brother's taste in Xiao Hong is quite special!"
Shangguan Beiming didn't understand the meaning of his words and smiled contentedly.
"Just don't compete with me."
Shangguan Beiyuan shook his head: "Definitely not!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the butler came in with a woman who was about thirty years old, with a strong figure and freckles all over her face.
Shangguan Beiming looked behind the two of them, but didn't see the person he wanted to see, so he frowned slightly.
Before he could ask his question, he saw the butler saluted him.
"Third Prince, this is Xiao Hong!"
“…”
Shangguan Beiming gritted his teeth and grabbed the butler by the collar.
"You just picked someone to fool me. How could she be Xiao Hong?"
The butler was grabbed by the collar and looked terrified.
"Third Prince, she is Xiao Hong!"
Seeing that his face had turned blue with anger, Shangguan Beiyuan held back his laughter and began to explain.
"Third brother, she is indeed Xiaohong, the fire-making maid in my house!"
Shangguan Beiming let go of the housekeeper and looked at the woman named Xiaohong.
"Your name is really Xiaohong?"
Xiao Hong immediately knelt down and said, "Third Prince, my name is Xiao Hong."
When Xiaohong first heard the master calling her over, she thought the master wanted to reward her, but she didn't expect the third prince to be so angry.
Shangguan Beiming: "Sixth brother, she is not the one I am looking for. Is there anyone else named Xiaohong in your family?"
"Butler, is there anything else?"
The housekeeper shook his head: "Sixth Prince, there is only one person named Xiaohong in our house."
“…”
Shangguan Beiming was unwilling to give up: "Sixth brother, you said you would give that woman to me. No matter what, you have to help me find her!"
It was the first time that Shangguan Beiyuan saw a woman so anxious, and he didn't want to interrupt his marriage, so he nodded and agreed.
He ordered the housekeeper beside him: "Go and call all the maids in the mansion over."
…
Soon all the maids in the mansion were gathered in the living room.
Shangguan Beiming knew that the little maid must have made up a name to deceive him yesterday.
Now that everyone is here, he wants to see where she can hide...
