Chu Nian said helplessly, "If you can't even make up your own mind about this, asking others won't help you make a decision."
Nie Feiyan thought about it and agreed. She stopped asking questions and started sobbing again, saying between sobs, "How could he say that about me? How could I be promiscuous? When have I ever fallen in love with every guy I meet?"
Hu Tiantian couldn't help but say, "Miss Nie, let me tell you the truth as your older sister. Yesterday, and the other day when you came to our courtyard to listen to music, your eyes were glued to our master, you couldn't take them off. Anyone who saw that would think you had fallen in love with our master."
Nie Feiyan: "But the only person I've ever wanted to marry is..." She looked at Chu Nian with a hint of helplessness, and then burst into tears again, "Why? Why do you all say that about me? My feelings for the young master have always been just simple liking, nothing to do with romantic love."
Chu Nian guessed that this girl was probably like modern girls who follow celebrities—she dated when she wanted to, and she followed her idols when she wanted to, without the two interfering with each other. Following celebrities had nothing to do with romantic love.
Chu Nian said, "I believe you."
Nie Feiyan wiped away her tears and asked in surprise, "Really?"
Chu Nian nodded and said, "I believe that you truly love only the Night King, but the Night King's words and actions lately have disappointed you. I think you should go back and calm down, and then carefully consider your relationship after you've calmed down. There's no need to make a decision too soon."
Nie Feiyan hesitated and said, "Is this alright? But the prince came to my manor this morning and blocked my door. I ran out through the back door. I... I really don't want to see him right now."
Hu Tiantian then said, "Then why don't you just move to another village?"
Nie Feiyan: "But even if I move to another village, he'll still come looking for me!"
Hu Tiantian rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Fourteen manors aren't enough for you to hide in!"
Chu Nian glared at Hu Tiantian: "You shouldn't interrupt when you shouldn't. People will only think that you, as the master, haven't taught your servant well."
Hu Tiantian quickly composed herself and stood up straighter than before.
Chu Nian said to Nie Feiyan, "Miss Nie, if you really can't think of any place that Prince Ye can't find, why don't you ask Mr. Gongsun? I've heard that Mr. Gongsun is very resourceful and is someone that the Emperor relies on. I'm sure he can give you some ideas."
"Mr. Gongsun?" Nie Feiyan pondered. "Are you talking about Gongsun Liang, the military strategist of the current dynasty? But I'm not familiar with him!"
The way you're saying this makes it sound like you know me pretty well. Chu Nian was speechless.
After a moment of silence, she said, "But that day when you all came to listen to the zither outside my music room, I felt that he cared quite a bit about Miss Nie!"
Nie Feiyan asked in surprise, "Really?"
Chu Nian said, "Even if you two are not familiar with each other, you probably only have a limited number of people you can ask for help in this matter, so you might as well ask for his opinion."
Nie Feiyan nodded and said, "Alright."
After Hu Tiantian saw her off and returned, he exclaimed with genuine helplessness, "Sigh, I've finally sent this young lady away. What did she want with you, Master, after arguing with the Night King?"
Chu Nian smiled calmly and said, "She probably thinks that I and the Night King are brothers, so she'll say things that she hopes to hear!"
Hu Tiantian asked blankly, "What does she hope for?"
Chu Nian nodded and said, "For example, the Night King might have acted recklessly because he was drunk, or because he was angry and spoke without thinking, which led to his impulsive behavior."
Hu Tiantian chuckled and said, "So it seems she still wants to continue with the Night King. But I don't think that Night King is a good man at all!"
Although Chu Nian also felt that Ye Xiao was not a good man—his coldness towards the original owner showed that he was a heartless person at heart—it was up to the female owner to decide whether she liked him or not. She had no intention of interfering in their affairs like the original owner had done.
She began to live a carefree life where she could sleep whenever she wanted, eat whenever she wanted, and play whenever she wanted.
But reality told her that happiness always comes too quickly. Because just three days after Nie Feiyan left, Ye Xiao actually came looking for her. He knocked on the door, and when she didn't open it, he kept knocking and knocking and knocking…
Seeing that he had been calling her from morning until noon without leaving, Chu Nian had no choice but to ask Hu Tiantian to find out why. It turned out that he had learned that Nie Feiyan had come to see Chu Nian and then went to Gongsun Liang's place, and now his whereabouts were unknown.
He was convinced that Chu Nian had done something to Nie Feiyan.
No matter how Hu Tiantian told him that the master had not seen Miss Nie since she went to see Mr. Gongsun, he just wouldn't believe it.
Chu Nian felt that he didn't disbelieve at all, but had nowhere else to vent his anger, so he came here to make a scene.
"Xiao Jin, take him back to the Night King's Mansion. You can use a little more force when you do it," Chu Nian instructed.
"Alright!" Xiao Jin readily agreed. He was an expert at this kind of thing. With a flap of his wings, Ye Xiao became like a kite with a broken string, flying back to the Night King's Mansion. He landed face down and crashed heavily to the ground, knocking him unconscious. When he woke up, he found that his nose had collapsed.
So, he arrived at the music room the next day with a bandage wrapped around his nose. Unexpectedly, he ran into his uncle's carriage as soon as he entered the alley.
The royal uncle lifted the carriage curtain, glared coldly at him, and said, "You're quite something, Night King. I've been waiting for you right here!"
Ye Xiao sensed the anger in his uncle's tone and asked in surprise, "May I ask, Uncle, what have I done to offend you?" His uncle's anger seemed completely unfounded!
Imperial Uncle: "Go and take a look at the entrance of the music room!"
Somewhat bewildered, Ye Xiao walked around the carriage to the entrance of the Qin House, only to find a notice posted where the door gods used to be. The notice stated that the owner of the Qin House, Mr. Dongfang, had to move out due to harassment from the Night King, and would notify everyone again when the Qin House reopened after his life had settled down.
"What...what does he mean?" Ye Xiao roared in fury.
Nobody paid him any attention. Even though it was just the Imperial Uncle and his entourage there, nobody respected him.
The Imperial Uncle gave him a cold, icy glare and said, "Night King, you probably don't know who the Two Saints of Xuan Yuan are. Be careful not to offend them, or you won't even know how you died." He then ordered the coachman to drive away.
This royal uncle is quite a character. He came to listen to music yesterday evening, but when he and the other guests saw the notice at the door, they were quite disappointed.
Others may be disappointed, but he's here early in the morning, waiting for Ye Xiao to arrive so he can snap at him and vent his anger—did he know exactly when Ye Xiao would come?
So, after his outburst, he left happily. But the thought of not being able to use this Mr. Dongfang to curry favor with the Two Saints of Xuan Yuan left him somewhat disappointed.
This is all Ye Xiao's fault!
