Seeing that he couldn't speak, Xiao Jingying simply raised his leg and kicked him to the ground again.
Minghe scrambled to his feet again, vomiting blood, and clung tightly to his leg, afraid that Xiao Jingying wouldn't give him another chance to speak. He quickly offered a hasty and incoherent apology.
"This servant shouldn't have deliberately switched the tea you served Lord Qiu just to curry favor!"
"This servant shouldn't have framed someone for secretly altering the household accounts in order to steal credit from Xiao Shan!"
Minghe revealed all the little tricks she had used in private to curry favor with Xiao Jingying.
"This servant is just unwilling!" Minghe hugged his leg and cried very sadly. "This servant has been serving you since childhood, but since we came to the capital, young master only knows how to favor that Xiao Shan and doesn't even look at this servant."
Looking at his disheveled appearance and listening to his words, Xiao Jingying's anger had completely vanished, and even a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Young master doesn't like me, and I really had no choice. I thought that Miss Zhang would definitely need a status in the future, so I went to find her."
Minghe was crying so hard he was about to choke, and the taste of blood in his mouth made it really hard for him to hold on.
Xiao Jingying squatted down and pinched his chin, "You certainly know how to plan."
"This servant doesn't know what I did wrong. Am I not clever enough?" Minghe looked at him pitifully. "Or does young master think this servant is useless?"
Xiao Jingying looked at Minghe, whose eyes were full of him, and his smile grew wider.
[Ding! Xiao Jin wins Antisocial Index: 42.6%!]
Minghe's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of confusion.
“You are indeed useless as a servant,” Xiao Jingying stared at his mouth, which was bleeding, and wiped it with his thumb. “I don’t need a servant like you.”
"Young Master..." Minghe was a little scared, really scared.
Xiao Jingying's cold, hard lips curled into a smile as he looked at Minghe, his expression seductive: "Minghe, will you be my woman?"
Minghe's eyes flickered, and she pretended to be stupid, saying, "Woman...Young Master, but I'm a man..."
Looking at his silly expression, Xiao Jingying said, "You be my woman, and I'll give you an identity. Then you won't have to fawn over women like Zhang Qingqing anymore. You can be one of them."
Minghe's eyes trembled as she asked, "Young...Young Master, are you...going to marry me?"
Xiao Jingying's hand suddenly paused.
Marry him?
Minghe seemed a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, and she asked him, "Then, young master, do you... do you like Minghe?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingying immediately laughed.
Do you like him and want to marry him?
This lackey really dares to dream!
Xiao Guai was stunned, "Minghe..."
"Don't worry." Minghe's voice in her mind was extremely cold, despite the hopeful look in Minghe's eyes.
Minghe just looked at him, waiting for his answer.
No answer is the answer.
And this is the answer Minghe wanted.
He can be his servant, have a physical relationship with him, but he will never be his concubine.
Minghe lowered his head in "disappointment," looking humble, and said the same words he had said years ago.
“Young Master, as long as you are still Minghe’s master, Minghe will never leave you in this lifetime. No matter what you ask me to do, I will do it.”
Xiao Jingying just stared at him for a long time, then finally picked him up and carried him into the study.
That night, Xiao Jingying tormented Minghe so much that all the official documents were soiled.
In addition, Minghe was already ill, and after this match, she simply couldn't hold on any longer.
When the doctors came, they all said that without using century-old ginseng, there was no way to save him.
It was just a ginseng root; Xiao Jinying simply sent someone to fetch it from the warehouse.
The doctor was shocked.
Is it worth using a hundred-year-old ginseng just to save the life of a servant?
Although Minghe was still ill and unable to get up, Xiao Jinying still dismissed Xiao Shan and told the public that Minghe would serve him personally from now on.
Xiao Shan was inexplicably replaced, and it was impossible for him not to be furious. He secretly spread rumors that Ming He had gotten the position by sleeping with the adults.
In this capital city, although liking male beauty is considered low-class, some powerful and wealthy people will keep one or two male prostitutes for novelty or to appear cultured.
As long as one isn't hopelessly obsessed with men, at most they'll just get a few criticisms, it's not a big deal.
Xiao Shan, who was sent back to the Xiao family, also spread the news, which displeased Old Master Xiao.
Xiao Qi, the eldest son of Old Master Xiao, didn't seem to care. He said, "Don't we know Jin Ying well? At his age, he's just looking for something new. It's no big deal. But speaking of which, shouldn't we start planning Jin Ying's marriage?"
"Let's wait another two years," Prime Minister Xiao sighed. "Jingying is currently riding high, so it's best to wait and see for a while longer."
Xiao Qi: "Our Xiao family will probably have to rely on Jin Ying to support us in the future."
Old Master Xiao: "Have someone else go and let Jin win back."
...
The message was sent, but Xiao Jingying did not go to the Xiao family.
At this moment, he held Minghe in his arms, kneading his soft, white skin, and asked him, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Young Master..." Minghe called out to him weakly.
He was the one who forbade Minghe from calling him that in the first place, but now, hearing him address him as "Young Master," Xiao Jingying felt exceptionally pleased. "Are you hungry?"
Minghe felt a little dazed by Xiao Jinying's gentleness, and murmured, "Mmm..."
Xiao Jingying had porridge brought over and personally fed it to him.
In just a few days, all the women in the mansion knew that Minghe had actually climbed into Xiao Jingying's bed!
This is truly absurd and ridiculous.
A whole courtyard of women is not as good as a single servant?
Let me explain the river again.
As long as Xiao Jingying loved him, he would accept it, and he didn't care what others said.
On this day, two important figures came to visit the mansion. It was during their conversation that Minghe learned that the man with an extraordinary demeanor was none other than the fourth prince of the current dynasty, An Song, and that the foul-mouthed heir, Xia Rong, was with him.
“I sent you several beauties to exchange for this servant last time, but you didn’t trade them. So you’re still not tired of him?” An Rong teased Xiao Jingying as she looked at Minghe.
An Song also glanced at Minghe.
She has a clean appearance, but she can't be considered a stunning beauty.
Xiao Jingying held his chess piece firmly, saying, "What's your hurry?"
That means that if he gets tired of playing with it someday and still wants it, we'll naturally send it to him.
