Miss Biao dressed up and waited for a long time, but Shura didn't come. She sent a maid to inquire about her second cousin's whereabouts, but there was no news.
The little girl said that Shura's courtyard was tightly closed and no one answered the door, so she didn't know if everyone had gone out.
Miss Biao looked at the little girl in disbelief. Yesterday they had clearly agreed that her second cousin would accompany her on a boat trip today, and he hadn't objected. But today he had simply disappeared?
She pouted in dissatisfaction. If she didn't want to go, she could have simply refused yesterday. She was all prepared, but she just didn't come!
Miss Cousin stomped her feet in anger. "Humph, if Second Cousin won't go, I'll go find Eldest Cousin. Anyway, I have to go on the cruise today."
When Qifei woke up, it was already past noon.
She hadn't eaten anything since yesterday, and her stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time.
She tried to open her eyes, but found they were badly swollen, and she could only open them a tiny slit; they were also a little painful.
"Hiss—" Qi Fei pouted in grievance, about to complain to the system, when a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.
"Applying it for a while will make your eyes feel better."
Upon hearing this voice, Qifei felt a surge of grievances, her voice choked with emotion, "What are you doing here? Didn't you go on a boat trip with Miss Biao? How come you still remember me?"
The sarcastic remarks not only failed to anger Shura, but actually made him feel quite pleased.
"When did I say I was going to go on a boat trip with her?" Shura looked at Qifei with heartache as she shed tears again. "Don't cry. Your eyes are already swollen. If you cry any more, they'll hurt even more, and my little Fei'er won't be pretty anymore."
Qi Fei, who was feeling wronged, paused and hurriedly touched her swollen eyes. She had been so engrossed in reading a novel yesterday that she had cried all night, and that's why her eyes looked like this.
No wonder she couldn't open her eyes today. In the end, it's all Shura's fault, humph.
Shura carefully applied the popsicle to Qifei's eyes. "Yesterday she just talked to herself, and I didn't agree to anything she said."
“I was wrong yesterday. I heard that Xiu Rong had a portrait of you hidden there, and I was consumed by jealousy, which is why I lost my temper with you.”
Shura had actually figured it out as soon as she woke up. Qifei usually stayed in the courtyard and never went out. Just like she said, she probably only saw Xiu Rong twice.
It was Xiu Rong who coveted her; it had nothing to do with her.
He was angry yesterday and wrongly accused her.
Hearing Shura apologize, Qifei's anger subsided considerably, and she then complained to Shura in a sweet voice.
"Your Highness, do you assume I've done something wrong just because you hear what others say? Don't you know who I am?"
"Moreover, yesterday when I heard that you were going to take Miss Cousin on a boat trip, I felt upset, so my attitude wasn't very good."
This is a roundabout way of explaining to Shura why he spoke so coldly yesterday.
Sure enough, after hearing Qi Fei's explanation, Shura was in a good mood and a smile appeared on his lips. "I didn't expect little Fei'er to be such a jealous person."
“This servant likes you, Master. It’s only natural that I’m jealous when I see you being close to other girls.” Although Qi Fei can’t see now, her tone is very serious.
"This servant shouldn't have such delusions. Once Master starts discussing marriage, once the Second Madam enters the household, this servant..." Qi Fei said, her voice choking up again.
Shura sighed. That's why she was feeling down, but you couldn't tell from her usual behavior; she kept everything bottled up inside.
After this incident, Shura realized that Qifei held a very important place in his heart.
If he gets married in the future, will he really let Qifei leave?
No, he won't.
"Don't think about these unfounded things." Shura ruffled Qifei's hair. "I will naturally protect you when the time comes."
Qifei bit her lip and stopped talking, but in her heart she was complaining to the system.
[I'm so angry! That bastard actually wants to get married! I'm furious! If he messes with me, I'll fake my death and let him have his wedding! Humph!]
What she just said was a test of her current standing in Shura's heart.
It must be said that if she were a native, as a true bed warmer, she might have been deeply moved by Shura's words.
The key point is that she isn't like that; what she wants is more than just someone to protect you.
Does she still need Shura to protect her?
As a pomegranate spirit, where can't she go?
It seems the revolution is not yet successful; she still needs to work harder.
"Fei'er, my stomachache flared up again yesterday when you weren't here. I was too angry yesterday and drank too much alcohol, so my head hurts too." Xiu Luo suddenly said aggrievedly, "I feel uncomfortable everywhere when you're not here."
Qifei reached out her hand, and Xiuluo quickly grasped it.
"Master, you weren't feeling well, why didn't you say so sooner? This servant will go and cook something for you right away." With that, Qi Fei got up.
My eyes are much better after the ice pack I just applied; at least I can open them normally, instead of just a slit.
"I've already told you to do what you usually do, so you should rest today." Shura pressed Qifei back onto the bed.
"I just want to tell you that if I lose my temper again next time, don't confront me directly. Just say a few kind words to me and my anger will subside."
If Qifei hadn't been so forceful yesterday, he probably wouldn't have been so angry later and had come back to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
"I was jealous yesterday, Master. I understand. Next time you're angry, I definitely won't go against you." Qi Fei stuck out her tongue and grinned at Xiu Luo.
When this was mentioned, Shura lost his temper.
The thought that Qifei was being so cold and hard towards him because she was jealous of other women made his smile deepen.
After this incident, their relationship improved even more.
They were already deeply in love, and now their affection has only intensified, making the servants wish they could stay far away from them to avoid upsetting the fragile hearts of this group of single men.

When Madam Xiu heard that Xiu Luo and Xiu Rong had a conflict because of Qi Fei, she almost lost her composure on the spot.
"What did you just say? Rong'er secretly kept the portrait of the Shura maid?"
"Yes, Aunt, it's all my fault. If I hadn't accidentally discovered it and mentioned it to my second cousin, he wouldn't have gone to my eldest cousin." The young lady lowered her head in shame.
She was just being straightforward; she had only seen the portrait when she saw the real person, and that's when she blurted it out.
Her older cousin also gave her the cold shoulder because of this.
She felt wronged, which is why she told Mrs. Xiu about it.
"Aunt, I really didn't mean to. I just asked because the maid looked just like the person in my cousin's painting."
"At first I thought she was my eldest cousin's wife, but it turns out she's my second cousin's maid." The young lady pouted and complained to Madam Xiu with dissatisfaction.
"My second cousin is really something. What's so special about keeping a portrait of a maid?" If she hadn't found it in a very well-hidden place, she wouldn't have been so interested. If she wasn't interested, she wouldn't have opened the portrait at all. Humph!
