The next morning, there was an urgent knock on the door.
"Miss, are you up? Miss?"
Su Man almost didn't sleep the whole night. When she opened her eyes, her head still felt a little dizzy. When she heard Si Xi's voice, she put on her clothes and went downstairs to open the door.
"What's wrong?"
"Miss, I found my cousin."
...
Si Xi's cousin Er Lang was tall and thin. When he and Si Xi knelt in front of Su Man, they really looked like a couple.
"Thank you, Miss, for saving my life. If you hadn't sent people to look for me, I would have frozen to death in the mountains long ago."
According to Erlang, he stepped into a hunter's trap when he was going up the mountain and was trapped. He was not rescued until he was found by a servant yesterday.
Su Man smiled playfully after hearing this. Looking at the tops of their heads, she said meaningfully, "Then you are truly blessed with a long life."
"Uh, yes."
Erlang was obviously not good at speaking, but Sixi came to his rescue at the critical moment, "This is all thanks to the young lady. We will never forget your great kindness."
They both kowtowed.
Su Man held her chin with a curious look on her face, "I do have a question, Erlang, how did you survive in that trap for so many days?"
"Well, I had some dry food with me, so I was able to hold on."
"I see."
Su Man's tone was long and drawn out. Although she didn't say anything, Si Xi felt a little uncomfortable. When she couldn't help but say something, Su Man suddenly said, "Get up."
Looking at the shoulders of Sixi and Erlang leaning against each other, Su Man said lightly, "Erlang just came back, go down and have a good rest. Sixi and I have something to say."
"yes."
Before Erlang left, he looked at Sixi worriedly, until he met Su Man's playful gaze, he lowered his head and walked out.
At this moment, Si Xi already understood her situation. As soon as Er Lang left, she knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Su Man stood up and walked over slowly, standing in front of Si Xi, looking down at him. "You're all right, what happened?"
Si Xi bit his lip and said, "My lady has treated Si Xi with great kindness. Si Xi has betrayed me. Please punish me."
Su Man chuckled, "You are saying this because you want me to let your cousin go."
Si Xi raised his head and hugged Su Man's legs, tears in his eyes, "I grew up with my cousin since childhood, and we have a deep connection. He threatened me with my cousin, but I didn't dare, I didn't dare..."
Facing Si Xi's crying, Su Man's face showed no extra expression. She said coldly, "You can tell me and I will help you."
Si Xi unconsciously loosened his hands and knelt on his calves as if he had lost his strength.
"My lady, you are the best master I have ever met, but a master is a master. She will not trade her reputation for an insignificant servant. That is why I gave the jade hairpin you gave me to the Third Prince, causing you to become the laughing stock of the entire capital..."
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and scenes flashed before her eyes of how kind Su Man had been to her in the past.
Su Man promoted her from a maid who could be ordered around by anyone to a personal maidservant of the eldest lady.
Not only that, she would always have a share of any delicious or useful things. Because it was cold at night in winter, she was not asked to keep watch outside, but to sleep on the soft couch in the house.
But she repaid kindness with hatred.
...
"Why are you crying like this?"
After hearing Su Man's words, Si Xi wiped his face and realized that his tears had already burst out.
She knelt on the ground, her heart filled with regret. "Si Xi knows that he has wronged the young lady. He dare not ask for her forgiveness. He is willing to die to atone for his sins."
After saying that, she suddenly stood up and rushed towards the corner of the table.
Just as she was about to touch the corner of the table, Su Man kicked the table away, and Si Xi missed.
She fell to the ground and looked at Su Man with tears in her eyes, "Miss?"
"I'll just treat it as if you've died once."
Si Xi was stunned for a moment, and hope rekindled in his eyes, "From now on, my life belongs to the young lady..."
Su Man threw the handkerchief to her and said, "I won't keep someone who betrayed me around. You're not young anymore. Dry your tears and go with your cousin. Leave the capital and never appear in front of me again."
"Miss!"
Si Xi hurriedly grabbed Su Man's clothes.
Su Man turned her head, and her indifferent gaze made Si Xi let go of his hand.
Finally, Si Xi whispered, "Xu Yuan only works for the Third Prince because he has something on him. The Third Prince is quite cunning, so you have to be careful."
"good."
-
The snow was white. Si Xi and Er Lang knelt on the road, watching Su Man's carriage disappear in the snow.
After sending Si Xi away, Su Man guessed that the third prince would definitely look for her.
Sure enough, as soon as she returned to Liu Mansion, a carriage came to pick her up to meet the third prince.
Juxianlou, the most famous restaurant in the capital, is a common sight for noblemen and daughters of wealthy families. Private rooms are reserved for the royal family, and are off-limits to the common people.
Thanks to Qi Xing, Su Man experienced VIP service and was personally escorted to the private room by the boss.
"Miss Liu, please come in. His Highness has been waiting for a long time."
The private rooms in Juxian Tower are extremely elegant, with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum paintings by famous artists on the walls, and the bowls and plates are mostly made of porcelain.
The blue and white porcelain cup in Qi Xing's hand was of great value just by looking at the pattern on it.
Seeing Su Man coming in, Qi Xing casually put it down and stood up to greet her, "Man'er."
Su Man bowed and said, "Greetings, Third Prince."
"You and I are already engaged, there's no need to be so polite."
Su Man obeyed, "Yes, Your Highness."
"Sit down."
Su Man sat down next to Qi Xing, and a servant immediately poured her hot tea.
