Chapter 356 Disgusting Xiao Qingyuan
Seeing Shen Wantang smile, Granny Chai knew that she had already made up her mind, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Tao Dai and Li Bai are fine, they were just bought not long ago, they will probably be a little afraid of the young master. But Qin Xin and Du Juan... I'm afraid there won't be any peace in the young master's courtyard!"
Is there no peace and quiet at Xiao Qingyuan's place?
With four more maids suddenly appearing, how lively it will be!
Just thinking about this scene made Shen Wantang want to laugh, and even her fatigue from today dissipated by more than half.
She said with great interest, "Let Qiyu and Shuxiang serve us in the inner room tonight. When Qinxin comes back tomorrow, we can listen to the excitement over there."
"yes."
Shen Wantang wasn't the only one who was happy; Xiao Qingxi was too.
As she walked towards Xiao Qingyuan's courtyard, she asked Granny Kang with a slight smile, "Granny, what do you think of the maid I chose for my brother?"
Kang Mama sighed, "Why does the princess have to do this? She insists on taking away the two most capable maids of the Crown Prince's wife. I'm afraid the Crown Prince's wife won't be happy."
"What I want is to make Shen Wantang unhappy! Why should she, the daughter of a concubine, be able to manage our Ning Prince's Mansion? I'll cut off her left and right arms and see how she manages the household in the future!"
"Princess, these two maids are gone, but the Crown Princess can be trained again. It will just take some time. She can still manage the household as usual, so it won't cause too much trouble."
"Hmph, what do you know? I'm not just doing this to disgust Shen Wantang, I'm also going to use Shen Wantang's personal maid to disgust that bastard Xiao Qingyuan!"
She stopped calling him "brother," and Granny Kang knew she was still angry with Xiao Qingyuan.
No wonder she chose Peach Blossom and Pear Blossom, and then Azalea and Heart of the Qin; it turns out she was waiting for this.
Not wanting to create discord between the siblings, Granny Kang advised her, "The young master is, after all, the princess's own brother. The princess has already hit him and scolded him; let it go. They are siblings; how can they hold a grudge overnight?"
"Yes, siblings don't hold grudges overnight. If I have a grudge, I'll settle it that very night! But that's not enough. I'll take my revenge tonight too! Xiao Qingyuan actually dared to betray me and tell Huo Yunzhou my secret of being pregnant. I hate him to death now!"
Xiao Qingxi said through gritted teeth, her pace quickening: "If I don't teach him a lesson, he won't know who to listen to in the future!"
"Qin Xin and Du Juan are both Shen Wantang's confidantes. Even if they go to Xiao Qingyuan's place, they definitely won't serve him well. He won't be in a good mood looking at these two maids. I hate him so much!"
"As for Tao Dai and Li Bai, they're just as good-looking as Hua Yi. If we send them to my brother, they'll definitely try to seduce him!"
"Hmph, isn't he and that Huayi love each other like glue? I'll shove two beauties over to him, let's see how he can still be so lovey-dovey then!"
Kang Mama suddenly realized that the princess was quite adept at dealing with her own brother, considering every aspect. Once the four maids were sent over, Xiao Qingyuan's place was in complete chaos for quite some time.
She couldn't help but say, "Isn't the princess supposed to be very clever? Isn't she good at dealing with men? How come when it comes to your son-in-law, all you do is throw tantrums and act recklessly? If you used this method to deal with your son-in-law and that Lin woman, how could your son-in-law possibly be running to her every day?"
Xiao Qingxi abruptly stopped in her tracks: "Huo Yunzhou is my husband, and Xiao Qingyuan is my brother. How can they be the same? If I were to give Huo Yunzhou a pretty maid, wouldn't I just be making things difficult for myself?!"
Granny Kang shook her head: "Princess, you care too much about your husband. You've lost your rationality and composure. If you can treat him with a normal mindset, all the problems will be solved."
"I like him, so of course I can't treat him with a normal attitude. If I really treated him with a normal attitude, I wouldn't have married him!"
Xiao Qingxi subconsciously touched her belly, where she was carrying her and Huo Yunzhou's child.
"Alright, Granny, you don't need to say anymore. I will never give Huo Yunzhou a maid. He can only be mine. No other woman can even think about touching him!"
Granny Kang looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
She didn't want other women to have anything to do with Huo Yunzhou, but Lin Rouxin had already done so, hadn't she? And this was different from a maid having anything to do with Huo Yunzhou; Lin Rouxin had Huo Yunzhou completely under her thumb, and Huo Yunzhou might have already fallen for her!
Sometimes she couldn't understand Xiao Qingxi's thoughts. One moment she wanted a decisive divorce, and the next she wouldn't let any other woman touch Huo Yunzhou. Sometimes she would shed tears when Huo Yunzhou was mentioned, missing him terribly. But when Huo Yunzhou actually came, she would say the most hurtful and offensive things and drive him away.
Granny Kang sighed inwardly. After all, she hadn't experienced any hardships and had been pampered since childhood. She was used to being willful and even managed her marriage impulsively.
Little did they know that this would only push Huo Yunzhou further and further away.
Huo Yunzhou originally had no romantic feelings for Lin Rouxin, but after Xiao Qingxi's antics, he suddenly developed them.
Fortunately, Xiao Qingxi had things to do in the Prince's mansion, so she didn't always think about Huo Yunzhou and send people to look for him if they were away for even a short while, and cry and make a fuss if they couldn't find him.
Now that she's going to cause trouble for Xiao Qingyuan, it can be considered a good thing, even if it's not entirely bad!
Kang Mama comforted herself in her heart, carefully helped Xiao Qingxi, and led four maids to Xinghe Courtyard.
Xiao Qingyuan was also exhausted today. Xiao Qingxi was pregnant and could choose not to enter the palace or appear in front of any guests, but he was the heir of the Ning Prince's Mansion. Whether it was paying New Year's visits or welcoming guests on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was no way he could escape.
He had hoped to have some hot soup and delicious food after returning to his courtyard, but unfortunately, there was nothing there.
His gaze towards Huayi inevitably revealed a hint of dissatisfaction. In the past, Huayi served him wholeheartedly. No matter when he returned, there would always be hot tea and soup, as well as exquisite and delicious pastries made by her own hands.
But now, she no longer brews tea or makes snacks; she just lies on the couch all day, clutching her stomach, acting like an extremely pampered child.
Xiao Qingyuan secretly regretted that he shouldn't have listened to Hua Yi and sent away all the maids that Shen Wantang had sent. Now, he didn't even have anyone to serve him.
Was he out of his mind before? He actually refused the maid that Shen Wantang offered him!
He didn't know when Shen Wantang would send him more maids. He couldn't earn enough money to buy maids on his own in the short term.
He was furious and ignored Huayi when she spoke to him. He shouted, "Moji, come in! I want hot tea. Quickly boil some water. I'm dying of thirst! Those who know me will say I'm the heir of a prince's mansion, but those who don't will think I'm in prison. Not even a sip of hot water is beneath me! It's beneath me!"
Mo Ji entered immediately, not to boil water for him to make tea, but to say, "Master, the Princess has arrived."
Xiao Qingxi's heart skipped a beat; he had a bad feeling: "What is she doing here? Just tell her I'm asleep and ask her to leave!"
However, it was too late.
Xiao Qingxi pushed open the door and walked in without a word: "Xiao Qingyuan, you clearly weren't asleep! Liar!"
