This is a disgrace to her.
She clearly just wanted to scare Tang Yaoyao and make her behave herself.
But to everyone's surprise, she unwittingly complained to the Fourth Prince, and he believed her without even investigating.
This punishment...
Xu Jiajia snapped back to reality, not giving her time to hate Tang Yaoyao, and cried out to him in fear, "Fourth Master, you can't do this to me, you can't, I don't want to stay one more night, I'll go crazy."
However, Xiao Jinhan didn't stop at all and walked even faster.
Seeing this, Uncle He couldn't bear it: "Jiajia."
Xu Jiajia cried and turned to run away, but one or two servants quickly grabbed her.
Tears streamed down Xu Jiajia's face as she glared angrily at the two of them: "You're not listening to me anymore?"
One of them replied somewhat helplessly, "Sister Xu, we were all hired by Fourth Master, so we can only listen to him. Please don't make things difficult for us."
These words jolted Xu Jiajia awake from her daze.
yes.
The entire manor belongs to Fourth Master, and everyone has to listen to him.
This group only listened to her when he didn't give any orders.
How could Fourth Master do this?
He threw the daughter of his savior into that terrifying room for the sake of an actor.
Has he forgotten why her parents died?!
How could you treat her like this?
Uncle Xiao and Aunt Su would absolutely not allow it.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, the two men pulled her inside.
Xu Jiajia panicked and screamed in terror, "Let me go! I don't want to go in! I'm going to find Fourth Master! He was just angry for a moment. He won't really do anything to me! Let me go! Let me go! Uncle He, Uncle He, please save me!"
Looking at her current state, Uncle He sighed deeply: "Go in and reflect on your actions."
After saying that, he endured the pain and turned to leave.
Xu Jiajia was desperate. After being pushed inside, the door to the room was closed.
She could still hear the squeaking of mice and some faint footsteps, which terrified her. Her face turned pale, and she frantically pounded on the door, shouting, "Let me out! I want to see Fourth Master! Open the door!"
However, no one paid any attention to her.
A cockroach suddenly crawled past her feet, startling her so much that she screamed and dared not stand on the ground for even a second longer. She was forced to run to the bed, trembling violently.
In her most vulnerable and frightened moments, she cries out, "Mom and Dad..."
"You risked your lives to save his parents, but he won't even look at me. He's treating me like this for another woman..."
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and she cried even harder: "I am the daughter of Fourth Master's savior. How could he treat me like this for that bitch Tang Yaoyao? He said he would take care of me for the rest of his life. Why did he lie to me? He's all I have left... Why is he so cruel?"
However, no one answered her.
Seeing a room full of cockroaches and hearing the sounds of mice moving around, she had no choice but to cover her head with the blanket and cry inside. Suddenly, a mouse jumped over her.
Xu Jiajia screamed and finally fainted from fright.
Xiao Jinhan's bedroom was far from Xu Jiajia's room, and the door was closed, so there was almost no sound.
Tang Yaoyao lay in the bathtub. Even though she hadn't touched the cockroaches and rats, she felt uncomfortable sitting in that environment for a while, so a bath would make her feel better.
As she played with the bubbles in the bathtub, she thought of Xiao Jinhan's ruthlessness; his punishment had indeed been a bit too harsh.
Xu Jiajia has reaped what she sowed and doesn't deserve any sympathy.
She felt the punishment was too harsh, which stemmed entirely from her limited understanding of Xiao Jinhan.
After spending some time with Xiao Jinhan, she discovered that he was a person who extremely liked peace and quiet, and that he only had Jiang Ci by his side, and no other exceptional people.
After all, he didn't even have a woman, and apart from her, there was no other woman he was involved with in gossip.
Xiao Jinhan is a clean-cut, aloof man; he would never allow someone like Xu Jiajia to exist by his side.
Last time, she thought he would fire this woman, but unexpectedly, she's still here.
The fact that a man as detached from worldly affairs as Xiao Jinhan could tolerate Xu Jiajia's arrogance and domineering behavior in the manor can only mean one thing: this woman holds a special place in his heart.
They might be childhood sweethearts, or someone who saved his life, or the daughter of his savior, but there would never be love.
If there were romantic feelings between a man and a woman, what would Tang Yaoyao have to do with it?
Since it was of such great significance, the punishment was rather severe.
It was half an hour later when she came out of the bathroom.
He sat on the sofa, holding a book in his hand, but he didn't seem to be reading; he looked somewhat lost in thought.
Tang Yaoyao walked to the bedside and sat down, drying her wet hair, her voice still soft and sweet: "This robe is a bit big and doesn't fit well, it's easy to expose yourself."
Xiao Jinhan didn't speak, but turned to a page and was now genuinely reading.
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and thought that Xiao Jinhan was quite manly tonight. He brought her back and then went to the bathroom to fill a tub with hot water for her. Although he didn't talk much, he was very reliable.
He didn't mention what had happened before, nor did he offer any particularly cheesy questions like whether she was frightened or if she was feeling better now.
His demeanor was calm and reserved, clear yet gentle.
Not hearing his reply, Tang Yaoyao blinked her foxy eyes and deliberately softened her voice to praise, "I didn't expect that Fourth Master is so good at taking care of people."
Xiao Jinhan: "The things prepared for that room before are all unusable. I'll have Jiang Ci prepare something new for you tomorrow."
Tang Yaoyao didn't stand on ceremony with him: "Mm."
Then, Xiao Jinhan closed the book, stood up, and turned around: "I'm next door."
Tang Yaoyao was a little confused: "Huh? I was frightened, shouldn't you, as a man, stay with me?"
Xiao Jinhan turned to look at her, his long eyebrows slightly raised, his voice as cold as ever: "Do you look frightened?"
Tang Yaoyao: "...?"
Why doesn't it look like it?
She herself was almost impressed by his acting skills, but he remained calm and did not believe her.
She coughed lightly: "How do you know I'm not afraid of mice and cockroaches?"
Xiao Jinhan's thin lips parted slightly: "What you're saying now."
Tang Yaoyao: "...??"
Holy crap?
I was just bluffing her to get her to admit it herself.
Sure enough, Xiao Jinhan is Xiao Jinhan.
So it seems she wasn't afraid at all, but instead pretended to be pitiful, hoping he would seek justice for her. She was nothing short of a hypocrite, something men should find repulsive.
However, his expression remained unchanged from before, and Tang Yaoyao suddenly realized that he hadn't blown her up. He had known all along that she wasn't afraid, perhaps he knew it the moment he stepped into her room.
Tang Yaoyao leaned lazily against the headboard, playing with a strand of hair: "Since you know I was faking it and it caused real harm, just treat it as a prank and scold her a few times. Why punish her?"
