Chapter 357 You Dare to Refuse Me?
"Qingxi".
Xiao Qingyuan looked embarrassed: "I mean, it's getting late, I should go to sleep, and you should go to sleep too. Why did you come at this time? I'm exhausted after a long day. Why don't you come tomorrow?"
Xiao Qingxi sneered: "Oh, Young Master Xiao, you're really putting on airs. Anyone who didn't know better would think I'm not your real sister, but some nobody coming to ask you for a favor!"
Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "You—speak properly, don't be so sarcastic."
"How am I being sarcastic? Shen Wantang seems quite tired today, but when I went to her place, she didn't kick me out. Why is my own brother kicking me out? What kind of logic is that?"
"I never asked you to leave. You can come to my yard whenever you want. Come, sit down. What's on your mind? You'll always be the most important person to me!"
"Does my brother really think I'm the most important person?"
"certainly!"
"This time you're not lying to me, are you?"
"Of course not, when have I ever lied to you?"
"Will my brother listen to what I say?"
"Listen, you must listen!"
Xiao Qingxi nodded in satisfaction and called out, "Granny Kang, bring them in!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Kang led Qin Xin and the other three women into the room.
As soon as Xiao Qingyuan saw Qin Xin, his eyelids started twitching: "Qingxi, why did you bring them here?"
Xiao Qingxi smiled at him: "I saw that you only have Huayi as your maid, which is really not good enough. So I took four maids from Shen Wantang for you! From now on, they will serve you in your courtyard!"
"What?!!"
"Brother is happy too, isn't he? I bet you'll like these four maids. Qin Xin is clever and capable, Du Juan is down-to-earth and dutiful, and the other two, Tao Dai and Li Bai, are both quite pretty and can warm your bed at night."
Xiao Qingxi put on a considerate expression: "Brother, haven't I been good to you? Look, I even took great care in choosing a maid for you. Tell me, how do you plan to thank me?"
Xiao Qingyuan's face turned ashen: "You still want me to thank you?"
"Huh? Xiao Qingyuan, I've even snatched Shen Wantang's right-hand woman from you, and you won't even say thank you? Don't you have any conscience?"
"Do you think I really want Shen Wantang's right-hand women? They are all Shen Wantang's trusted maids. I can't even order them around normally. If you want them, wouldn't that just be adding to my troubles?"
What? You can't get them to do anything?
That's wonderful!
Xiao Qingxi clapped her hands happily: "Qin Xin, Du Juan, you two come here!"
Qin Xin and Du Juan stepped forward as instructed: "What are your orders, Princess?"
"My brother complains that he can't boss you around. You two are just maids, how dare you be disrespectful to my brother? You must have a death wish! Apologize to my brother immediately and promise to obey his orders from now on!"
Qin Xin and Du Juan both bowed their heads in apology: "We know we were wrong. From now on, we will obey the young master's orders."
"Brother, did you hear that? They'll listen to you from now on, so please accept them!"
"I don't want to! Take them away right now, seeing them gives me a headache, eye pain, and makes me feel terrible all over!"
"Xiao Qingyuan, you just said that I am the most important person to you, and that you would listen to everything I say! How come you changed your mind so quickly?"
Xiao Qingxi's face darkened. Tears streamed down her face as she cursed, "You really are a liar! You promised me you wouldn't tell anyone about my pregnancy, but you told Huo Yunzhou just a few days later, and you even conspired with Huo Yunzhou to deceive me! You deserve to die! I hate you! I'll hate you for the rest of my life!"
This grievance was brought up again, and Xiao Qingyuan felt extremely guilty. He immediately begged for forgiveness: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Don't cry. Don't get so emotional. It's not good for the child. If anything happens to you, Father and Mother will beat me to death."
"So, do you want the maid I went through all the trouble to snatch for you?"
"I want it, I want it, okay?"
"No way! You're making it sound too difficult. Anyone who didn't know better would think I forced you to say it!"
Xiao Qingyuan felt like he was swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express his suffering. He had to force a smile and say, "You didn't force me to take them. I asked for them myself. Thank you so much, sister, for getting me so many maids. Shen Wantang must be heartbroken! Well done, sister!"
Xiao Qingxi immediately stopped crying: "Since brother likes Shen Wantang's maids so much, I'll snatch a few more for you tomorrow!"
"No! No need!"
"Huh? What did you say? You dare refuse me?"
"No, I mean, we already have enough maids. There's no need to fight over them anymore. We should at least leave a few usable ones for Shen Wantang, shouldn't we?"
"Why should we keep her? We won't keep her! She'd better not have a single usable person!"
“Well… she is, after all, the mistress of the house and has to manage the entire palace. I think you should stop trying to take her people. It would be best to send Qin Xin and Du Juan back to her as well. I only need those two left.”
Xiao Qingxi raised an eyebrow: "Brother, why are you so concerned about Shen Wantang? Don't tell me you've secretly fallen for her!"
Xiao Qingyuan immediately denied it: "How could that be? How could I possibly like her? Besides being pretty, what else does she have? Vulgar!"
Xiao Qingxi sneered: "Oh? You think Shen Wantang is pretty?"
"No, no, she's not pretty at all. I don't like her at all!"
"It's best if you don't like her! If you do like a concubine's daughter, I'll despise you for the rest of my life!"
Xiao Qingyuan was sweating profusely. He felt that dealing with Xiao Qingxi was more tiring than dealing with all the guests in a day!
He was hoping she would leave soon, but she seemed to have inexhaustible energy and endless things to say.
“Brother, I see that Granny Chai serves Shen Wantang very diligently, but Granny Chai was originally your nanny. Doesn't it hurt you to see that? Aren't you angry?”
"I……"
"Okay, I understand. It's okay if you're upset or angry. Tomorrow I'll snatch Granny Chai away for you too!"
Xiao Qingyuan was on the verge of tears: "Qingxi, I had driven Granny Chai away before, but Mother brought her back and gave her to Shen Wantang as his personal nanny. I don't care if you take her back, but I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it to Mother!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Qingxi nervously, afraid that she might lose her temper and recklessly try to snatch Chai Mama.
Fortunately, Xiao Qingxi still respected her mother. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "Then forget it, Granny Chai won't try to take it."
Xiao Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right!"
"I'll rob you other things! I'll fill your yard to the brim!"
Xiao Qingyuan: "..."
He felt a bit pained. It was one thing for Xiao Qingxi to act recklessly, but why did Shen Wantang also let her act recklessly?
Weren't Qin Xin and Du Juan her most capable and trusted maids? How could she give them to Xiao Qingxi so easily?
Something's wrong, something's very wrong!
This is a conspiracy! It must be a conspiracy!
