Tea house box.

Rong Xiu considerately pulled out a stool for her to sit down, and then asked, "Do you still want Pu'er?"

He paused, and then said, "This shop's crispy candy is the best in Beijing. Would you like to eat it now? Or would you like something salty?"

Fuling looked warily at Rongxiu who was busy running around, gritting her teeth in hatred.

It is only recently that young ladies have started drinking Pu'er tea! Where did you hear about this?

If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!

Shihu stood in the corner, looking at Rongxiu who was like a lackey, and felt it was outrageous.

Is this still the young man who was so arrogant and lawless that he dared to say in the street that the Second Prince wanted to usurp the throne?

This little ancestor was a wolf at the border, became a Husky in the capital, and became a sweet little puppy in front of Miss Hua.

Not only did he wag his tail, he almost let out a couple of loud howls.

"Thank you, Master Rong." Hua Yuanzhao took his seat and spoke carefully, "Thanks to your help, I was able to survive these few times."

"The only thing I have left is my medical skills. Although it may not be appropriate to say this, if you need any help, I will do my best to help you." Hua Yuanzhao said cautiously.

Rong Xiu half leaned back in his chair, looking at her with a cynical smile. After hearing these words, he couldn't help but clench his hands on the table.

"You have to thank me this time." Rong Xiu said nonchalantly, "As for before... you don't have to."

"The Queen is my aunt. You saved her life, and I will protect yours. It's only right." He curled his lips and muttered, "Besides, the group of freeloaders in the Imperial Hospital said that there is no cure. Even if you can't save her, it's understandable."

"The emperor is indeed a bit unreasonable." Rong Xiu said calmly.

Shihu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and looked around quickly, fearing that someone might have heard what he said.

"My lord..." Shihu smiled bitterly. Can we just keep a word of caution?

Don’t let lust blind you and say anything!

Hua Yuanzhao smiled but did not respond. He only said, "Mr. Rong, I have a few words to say. Can I talk to you alone?"

"Okay!" Rong Xiu didn't even think twice, he raised his eyes and glared at Shi Hu: "Get out!"

"Miss..." Fuling looked at her in confusion. A man and a woman were alone in the same room. What if one of them had bad intentions?

"Young Master...you have to hold on..." Shihu tried to struggle, but Rong Xiu glared at him viciously, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

By the time he reacted, his body had already run out the door, with a little crybaby standing next to him.

Fuling's eyes were red: "What if the young lady is bullied..."

Shihu said angrily, "My master is not that kind of person! Besides, your young lady is like this! My master would never like her!"

"What kind of person is your young master?" Fuling glared at him fiercely: "Neither you nor your young master are good people!"

"You ungrateful little bastard! It was my young master who saved your young lady!" Shihu was not willing to be outdone and was so angry that he jumped up and down.

In the house.

Rong Xiu touched his nose awkwardly and said guiltily: "Shihu is talking nonsense, I will go back and deal with him!"

Hua Yuanzhao clenched the teacup and organized his words simply.

"Perhaps you won't believe me." Hua Yuanzhao said carefully: "My name is Hua Yuanzhao."

"Ah?" Rong Xiu was stunned: "Oh, I believe it."

What else?

"You have the same name as the person you love, but they are not the same person."

Hua Yuanzhao stared into Rongxiu's eyes and said firmly: "I don't know if the Hua Yuanzhao you miss will come back, but I am not her."

"Maybe it's a little far-fetched to say this, but I'm telling the truth. You've helped me so many times over the past few times, and I'm really grateful, but I also feel a burden."

"After all, I'm not the person you have in mind."

After saying this, she stood up and said goodbye.

Rongxiu was left alone, standing there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Seeing Hua Yuanzhao leave the door, Fuling followed behind him carefully, calculating the time in her mind, and asked quietly: "Miss... Master Rong didn't bully you, did he?"

Hua Yuanzhao's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at her as if she were a fool: "What can you do with just two sentences?"

"What if he can't do it?" Fuling argued.

Shihu watched the master and servant leave, with Fuling's voice still floating in his ears.

He calculated the time in his mind and shuddered.

Sir, you are not really... unable to do it, right?

He rushed in, only to see his own son standing by the window, distracted. His back looked so lonely.

"Young Master..." Shihu asked tentatively.

Rong Xiu nodded but did not move.

Shihu followed his gaze and saw Hua Yuanzhao who had just left the house.

Rong Xiu stared at her back, thought for a long time before asking: "Do you think... Zhao Zhao has changed since we left Beijing?"

Shihu thought about it carefully and said honestly: "Except for being a little fatter, there is no change..."

He stole a glance at Rong Xiu and added, "No one wants to bother with you anyway!"

Rong Xiu was lost in thought when he heard these words. He raised his hand and gave the guy a roasted chestnut in annoyance.

"You're the only one with a big mouth!" he said angrily. When he turned his head to look again, Hua Yuanzhao's back had disappeared around the corner.

Rong Xiu shook his head.

No one could pretend to be Zhao Zhao in front of him. If it was true as she said, he would be able to tell the difference the first time he saw her!

…

Hua Yuanzhao slipped back home through the back door and felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the house.

The maids who used to chat at the corner gate were gone, and the weeds on the path had been completely pulled out.

As she walked along, the servants and maids did their work in an orderly manner, and there was not even an eye contact between them.

"What's going on?" Fuling asked, shrinking her neck.

As soon as the two returned to Linyuan Garden, they took a deep breath at the same time and turned to look outside the courtyard.

"I'm suffocating!" Fuling patted his chest and muttered softly.

What on earth was going on? She suddenly became so nervous that she was so scared that she didn't even dare to breathe!

"Miss."

Suddenly a sound came from the door, startling Fuling so much that she almost jumped up.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a maid standing in the shadow of the door.

The maid bowed with her head lowered and said respectfully, "Master, please go to the main hall."

Fuling frowned, took out a purse from her sleeve and stuffed it into her hand, then smiled sweetly and asked, "Sister, is there something wrong with the master calling Miss?"

The maid quietly pinched her purse and did not answer directly, but only said: "The old lady is here."
