The next morning, after Rong Qi and Feng Qinghuang finished serving tea, Princess Rong, Xiao Muqing, suggested that Feng Qinghuang take charge of the household affairs, but Feng Qinghuang refused.
Feng Qinghuang pouted at Xiao Muqing and said, "Mother, you know I'm not cut out for this. Let's wait until my second brother gets married and then hand it over to his wife. I get a headache just looking at these accounts."
The reason why Feng Qinghuang didn't want to take it was very simple: she didn't want the trouble. She already couldn't keep up with the accounts of Dark Night Tower and Bright Moon Tower, so she should give the Rong Prince's account to someone else.
Hearing her say that, Xiao Muqing didn't press the matter further. Besides, Xiao Muqing really liked Feng Qinghuang's ability to act coquettishly.
"Alright, while Mother is still able to do it, I'll help you manage things for now. Whoever is capable can take over later."
She didn't want to force Huang'er; once Huang'er married into the family, she should just be happy.
Sigh, the eldest and youngest sons are all married, and now only the second son is left in the family, which is a real problem.
How can Rong Li, the second son, be so stupid? After so long, he still hasn't won over that girl Chenxi. He's too dumb.
She was so worried about her son.
Meanwhile, Rong Li, who had been criticized by his mother, was fast asleep. He didn't know what had happened yesterday; he had been supposed to get Rong Qi drunk, but Rong Qi had somehow fallen unconscious.
Chenxi stood by his bedside, looking at the drunken young man, and could hardly bear to look at him.
You're saying the eldest son got married and the second son got drunk? Are you happy or unhappy?
Chenxi sighed as she fanned Rong Li, "Oh, young master, you should be more careful. Doing things this way is really stupid."
Chenxi kept staring at Rong Li, and suddenly thought that it was nice to be able to keep looking at the young master like this.
In a daze, Rong Li suddenly grabbed Chen Xi's hand, and Chen Xi tried to break free but couldn't.
"Young master, young master? Let go of me! You're hurting me!"
Rong Li didn't let go of her hand, holding it tightly in his: "Chenxi, Chenxi, don't go."
Chenxi nodded: "I won't leave, young master. Please let me go first."
"Don't go, don't go... I like you."
The last sentence, "I like you," was barely audible, like the hum of a mosquito. Chenxi vaguely heard something about liking someone. Unable to resist, Chenxi moved closer: "Young Master, what did you say? Who do you like?"
Rong Li muttered, "Chenxi, Chenxi."
Chenxi suppressed her excitement. Only when he was drunk did the young master dare to confess his feelings for her. But what about her status...?
Chenxi sighed. She was just a lowly maid; how could she possibly be worthy of the second young master of the Rong Prince's mansion? Although the young master was usually quite kind to her, it was possible that he only pitied her situation. Presumably, the prince and princess had already arranged marriages for the second young master with many daughters of officials, and she probably wasn't even qualified to be a concubine.
I should just do my job as a maid and serve the second young master well.
Chenxi didn't try to break free from Rong Li's hand. She wanted to stay quietly like this, perhaps she could spend more time with the young master.
Rong Li slept for another day. When she woke up early the next morning, she had a terrible headache. She tried to raise her hand to rub her head, but she found herself holding a small hand.
Rong Li turned her head and saw Chen Xi sleeping soundly by the bedside. She carefully turned over and looked at Chen Xi, getting very close.
Looking closely, this little girl is quite pretty. She has willow-leaf eyebrows, delicate eyelashes, a small nose, and pink lips. You can't help but want to get closer. She's even cuter when she's asleep. When she's awake, she keeps her distance.
This little girl has been watching over me for two days. No wonder she didn't wake up when I did.
Rong Li stretched his neck; he had been lying down for a day and a night and his neck was about to cramp up. But as soon as he shook it a few times, Chen Xi was woken up by him.
Chenxi stood up and tried to pull her hand away, but Rong Li held it tightly. She accidentally fell onto the bed and, by sheer coincidence, touched Rong Li's lips.
Rong Li was suddenly kissed and was a little stunned. She let go of his hand, and Chen Xi blushed and quickly ran out.
Rong Li was secretly delighted. She raised her hand and touched her lips. That feeling just now was damn wonderful.
This shy little girl is really cute.
Ha, since this little girl dared to kiss him and even threw herself into his arms, it would be unreasonable for him not to make a move.
Rong Li got up and went to the inner room to wash up and change his clothes before going to the main hall to pay his respects to his father and mother.
He still had some things to tell his father and mother. Whether he could win over that little girl depended on his future plans.
Chenxi ran back to her room, her face flushed, both shy and excited.
What should I do? She actually kissed the young master. Will he kick her out?
In the days that followed, Chenxi lived in constant fear and dared not see Rong Li, so she could only hide from her.
This also allowed Rong Li to secretly do some things.
