Chapter 309 Our second young master has brought you a gift!
After listening, Hua Yi asked timidly, "Why did you help me with these things, Second Young Master Gu? Is there something difficult that you need me to do?"
"There is something you need to do, but it's not difficult for you."
Gu Qianhan turned to look outside: "Xiao Qingyuan should be here soon. When he comes to take you away, you should refuse him. The reason for your refusal is that you hate him and that all the joy you showed when you were with him before was just an act."
"Furthermore, you should tell him that the person you love has always been me, and that you planned this trip home for the funeral with me beforehand, deliberately deceiving Xiao Qingyuan."
"In short, do whatever makes him disgusted."
Hua Yi was somewhat taken aback: "Does the Second Young Master mean that I should be the villain and break the Crown Prince's heart?"
"What, is there a problem?"
"That's not a good thing to do, it's a bit unethical!"
"One cannot have everything. I am providing you with a completely new identity, transforming you from a servant into a young lady. Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern; not everyone has this opportunity. Do you really want both a new identity and morality, so you can pretend to be a good person in front of Xiao Qingyuan?"
Hua Yi's eyes reddened: "Second Young Master, you've misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. Our young master treats me very well. I can't do anything to betray him, much less lie to him or disgust him with you. Betraying one's master is a great taboo. I dare not, and I don't want to."
Gu Qianhan frowned slightly, feeling that her mind was not clear: "His kindness to you is only temporary. Haven't you seen how he treats Chu Yanluo now? In the future, your fate will be the same as Chu Yanluo's."
No, it won't.
Hua Yi said confidently, "I am different from Aunt Chu. I serve the young master wholeheartedly and have never been disloyal. Aunt Chu was half-hearted, which is why the young master disliked her."
"The Crown Prince is kind-hearted and pure-hearted. If you treat him well, he will treat you well in return."
"Second Young Master, I know you have some misunderstandings and minor grudges with the Young Master, but actually the Young Master was also deceived by Consort Chu, which unintentionally caused you to lose a good marriage. Please forgive our Young Master, he didn't do it on purpose."
"You should stop opposing our young master. It won't do you any good, will it? I think the second young master should continue to be friends and brothers with our young master so that they can support each other in the future."
Gu Qianhan listened to Hua Yi start instructing him and coldly said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Hua Yi immediately knelt down: "This servant wouldn't dare!"
Gu Qianhan looked down at her, her hatred for Xiao Qingyuan growing stronger.
The fact that a servant girl is so arrogant and dares to instruct her master is undoubtedly a result of Xiao Qingyuan's indulgence.
Moreover, this maid kept referring to Xiao Qingyuan as "our young master," clearly treating him as her own, and there was a sense of asserting ownership in her tone that she herself didn't even realize.
Gu Qianhan didn't know if she acted the same way in front of Shen Wantang. If she did, then she was disgusting. If not, then this maid had two faces and was scheming.
Regardless of the reason, Gu Qianhan has no intention of letting Huayi go back.
"Someone, take her away and put her in the bath. I'll let her out when I tell her when."
Two guards soon entered and walked out with a painting in their hands.
Hua Yi pleaded pitifully, crying, "Second Young Master, please let me go! I have no grudge against you, why are you bullying me like this? This is not gentlemanly behavior!"
Unfortunately, Gu Qianhan wasn't buying it at all; he was completely deaf and showed no reaction whatsoever.
After Huayi was taken away, he instructed Jixiang: "Send someone to the Ning Prince's residence to check the situation. Xiao Qingyuan should have returned to his residence long ago. Why hasn't he come to snatch her away yet?"
Jixiang responded and went out to find Fuze.
Not long after, Jixiang returned with Fuze.
Fu Ze said respectfully, "Second Young Master, I have already inquired and found out that Prince Xiao has been confined to his quarters by Prince Ning."
Gu Qianhan raised an eyebrow: "Locked up? He's an adult, and married, why is he still being treated like a child? He has legs, he can run away, can't he?"
“Young Master, Prince Xiao’s strength is limited. He can’t defeat Prince Ning’s guards, and he probably won’t be able to escape for a while.”
"That good-for-nothing is such a waste of my time!"
Gu Qianhan knew Xiao Qingyuan was useless, but she didn't expect him to be this useless, that he could actually be grounded!
"Since Xiao Qingyuan is not strong enough, I will give him a little stimulation and hope that anger can make up for his lack of strength."
Gu Qianhan tapped her long fingers on the golden nanmu wood table and said calmly, "Jixiang, go to the Ning Prince's Mansion and give Xiao Qingyuan a big gift."
"Yes, young master!"
——
Prince Ning's Mansion.
Xiao Qingyuan was still pacing around in the courtyard: "No, we still can't get out! Moji, go and break down the wall for me!"
"Your Highness, the walls in your courtyard are the most sturdy; they're built with large blocks of bluestone, and you can't break a single one!"
"Then let's dig a hole at the base of the wall and crawl out!"
"Your Highness, the foundation is made of black rock that is even more solid and sturdy than bluestone. We can't dig it up at all!"
Xiao Qingyuan: "..."
So his yard was actually an upside-down tortoise shell?
He couldn't help but look up at the sky.
A sparrow flew over his head, free and unrestrained.
"Moji, go and make me a pair of wings, I want to fly!"
Inkjet printer: "..."
"Sir, I don't have that kind of ability. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today."
Xiao Qingyuan was furious: "You good-for-nothing, what use are you to me? You can't do this or that, I've never seen a servant less useful than you! Even Jixiang, who's by Gu Qianhan's side, is smarter than you!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud voice rang out from outside the door: "Young Master Xiao, this humble servant greets you!"
Xiao Qingyuan was utterly astonished: "Jixiang? You dare to come?!"
Mo Ji looked on incredulously: "Jixiang, who let you in?"
Jixiang didn't answer their question at all. His voice was full of joy: "Please open the door, Your Highness. The New Year is almost here, and our second young master has come to bring you gifts!"
Xiao Qingyuan was furious: "Gu Qianhan would give me gifts? Unless he brings me his own head, nothing else counts as a gift!"
Jixiang said cheerfully, "It's not a head, Your Highness. Our young master is perfectly fine."
Xiao Qingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Mo Ji, open the door! I'll beat him to death!"
Moji quickly stepped forward to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Jixiang handed a wooden box to Moji and then turned and ran.
Xiao Qingyuan was surprised that he ran so fast. Just as he was about to ask Mo Ji to chase after him, he saw a piece of blood-stained material protruding from the wooden box.
He flung open the wooden box, and upon seeing what was inside, his face drained of all color: "Painting Intent!"
