Chapter 321 She's a liar!
After leaving Wutong Garden, Xiao Qingyuan quickly walked towards his own courtyard.
The little maid had to jog to keep up with him. She was deeply moved; the young master truly doted on Huayi. As soon as he heard she was sick, he rushed back like a madman.
He had never been this anxious when Chu Yanluo lived in his courtyard before!
The young maidservant looked at Xiao Qingyuan's tall and noble figure with envy, wishing she could also receive a bit of the young master's affection.
Unfortunately, Xiao Qingyuan bought her to serve Chu Yanluo because he valued her for her rough and dull appearance. Clever and pretty women would have been driven away by Chu Yanluo.
Now that Chu Yanluo has been kicked out of Xiao Qingyuan's courtyard, Huayi has joined the household. With such a beautiful maid, how could the young master possibly give her a second glance?
In fact, when she went to Wutong Garden to call him, he didn't even recognize her as someone from his courtyard.
She could never reach Xiao Qingyuan's level, but she thought Mo Ji was quite nice; a maid and a servant were a perfect match.
Xiao Qingyuan rushed back to his courtyard and shouted, "Close the gate immediately!"
The maid was startled by his sudden shout and quickly closed the door.
Mo Ji asked in surprise, "Master, what happened?"
Xiao Qingyuan entered the house with a cold face, without saying a word.
Mo Ji could only look at the little maid: "Chun Die, what's wrong with the young master? Did he suffer... mistreatment at the young master's place?"
He wanted to say "get beaten," but the words were already on his lips, so he quickly changed his mind, wanting to save face for the young master.
Chun Die stammered, "I don't know. When I went there, the young master was still in the young master's wife's room. Sister Qin Xin and the others wouldn't let me in. Later, the young master somehow ran out. As soon as I told him that Sister Hua Yi was sick, the young master rushed back. Perhaps... perhaps the young master was too worried about Sister Hua Yi!"
Mo Ji frowned: "It doesn't seem like it. Why do I feel that the young master seems both angry and afraid? Like he's encountered a ghost."
"No, there are no ghosts!"
Chundie stared at him blankly. She had always thought that the most handsome servant in the Prince's mansion was Moji. He had red lips and white teeth, fair skin, and a good temper. He would often take care of her, a lowly maid who was not noticed by the master.
Mo Ji glanced at Chun Die and saw her blank expression, knowing that he wouldn't get anything useful out of her.
In the silence, he heard three extremely faint sounds coming from outside.
He smiled slightly, "The clever one has arrived!"
He went out, closed the door again, and found Qin Xin in the dim light: "Did something happen to the Crown Prince and Princess? He came back and immediately told them to close the door, as if a ghost was chasing him."
Qin Xin whispered, "He was probably frightened by the Crown Prince's wife. I don't know why, but the Crown Prince's wife suddenly put on a wedding dress today, and the Crown Prince was howling like a ghost and banging on the door of the inner room like a madman."
"I see. Perhaps the Crown Princess wants to make up for the regrets of their wedding night!"
"Maybe!"
Qin Xin didn't feel that Shen Wantang had any regrets about the night of their wedding, so Shen Wantang looked particularly strange in her wedding dress today.
She pulled Mo Ji toward the back gate of Xinghe Courtyard: "Whether the young master was frightened or not is not important. What is important is that Hua Yi, that little hussy, actually dared to send a maid to the Crown Prince's wife to snatch the young master! She's gone too far! Why didn't you stop her? What use are you? The Crown Prince's wife really saved you for nothing!"
Mo Ji smiled wryly: "I've been trying to stop her, but in the time it takes me to eat a couple of bites of food, Chun Die was sent out by Hua Yi."
Qin Xin glared at him: "Can't you make Chun Die listen to you? How can you make her listen to Hua Yi completely?"
"You don't know, Huayi is really amazing. Chundie and Xiachan are both completely subservient to her! She's cunning, skillful, and incredibly persistent, with terrifying energy! She often only sleeps for one or two hours a day, which is something I can't match."
Qin Xin didn't argue with him anymore. She had already experienced Hua Yi's prowess. She thought that Hua Yi had been enduring for a long time and had finally come to the prince's side. She was doing everything she could to win the prince's favor and keep his heart. It was normal that Mo Ji was no match for her.
After all, Qin Xin felt that if it were her, she probably wouldn't be a match for Hua Yi either.
"Let's go listen to what kind of sweet talk Huayi is giving the young master, and then we'll figure her out!"
Mo Ji shook his head: "It's no use. I listen to her every day, but I haven't found any fault with Hua Yi. The young master trusts her more than he trusts Aunt Chu."
Qin Xin ignored what he was saying and pressed her ear against the back wall.
Inside the house.
Xiao Qingyuan sat down on the edge of the bed. He touched Huayi's forehead and found that it didn't seem very hot. "The maid said you had a high fever. What happened? Did you catch a chill at the Duke's mansion today?"
"I caught a bit of a chill, but it's nothing serious."
Hua Yi's tone was gentle as water: "It was all that girl Chun Die who spread rumors. Please don't blame her, Your Highness. I usually treat her like a younger sister. She is grateful for my kindness. When she saw that I was sick, she cried and insisted on going to find Your Highness."
“I had been trying to stop her, but I was so sick that I accidentally dozed off for a while and she ran away.”
"She was just too worried about me. If the young master wants to punish me, then punish me. It's all my fault, and has nothing to do with Chun Die."
Xiao Qingyuan's gaze softened: "Why should I punish her? Why should I punish you? You are kind and gentle, and you treat the little maid well, so she reciprocated by coming to me for help. I think this maid deserves a reward!"
Huayi's eyes revealed surprise: "The young master is so kind and treats us maids so well. Then I will thank the young master on behalf of Chundie! It is truly a blessing we have accumulated in our past lives to be able to serve the young master."
Xiao Qingyuan was flattered by her, and just as he was about to take off his clothes and get into bed, his head started to throb with pain.
He covered his head and hissed in pain.
Hua Yi quickly stood up and helped him up: "Young Master, what happened? Did that Second Young Master Gu hurt your head?"
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I've had a headache ever since I got back today, but Gu Qianhan shouldn't have hit my head."
"Your Highness has been staying with the Crown Princess for so long, haven't you asked her to take a look at you?"
"she?"
Xiao Qingyuan's face darkened: "I don't care if she sees it, she's a liar!"
“How could the Crown Princess be a fraud? The Crown Princess is a highly skilled physician, always able to cure illnesses with her medicine. You should... no, she should have examined you to relieve your suffering. Could it be that the Crown Princess didn't even notice your headache? That shouldn't be the case. How could the Crown Princess be so negligent?”
Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly: "You think she would take such good care of me and serve me so attentively like you do? She doesn't care whether I have a headache or not, she just lies to me! From now on, you are not allowed to mention her in front of me, I find her very annoying!"
A faint smile appeared on Huayi's lips: "Yes, Your Highness."
