Chapter 348 Don’t deny your future life because of one misfortune
On the other side, Lan Xiyue and Regent Mo Liyuan left the blooming Hibiscus Garden and returned to the Regent's Palace.
When she saw Mo Liyuan ordering Tianyi to fetch the guqin, she wondered what this man was up to?
Mo Liyuan sat upright in front of the piano, his deep eyes fixed on Lan Xiyue, "Yu'er, what is the name of the song you and Lu Jingzhou played just now?" His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of barely perceptible jealousy.
Lan Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then her lips twitched when she realized what was happening. Could it be that he was thinking...
Lan Xiyue still replied: "The song is called 'Swordsman'."
Mo Liyuan heard this and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "How about this song played by Yue'er and I?"
Lan Xiyue was secretly complaining: No way? Is it really what she thought? It's not over yet? But she didn't dare show it on her face. She could only force a smile: "Why would I not want to? I'll play it for you to hear it, just to get familiar with it."
As Lan Xiyue's melodious flute music sounded, Mo Liyuan's fingers danced on the strings, as if with magic, interpreting every note to the fullest.
Although it was their first collaboration, they had a perfect understanding of each other, and Mo Liyuan didn't seem to be playing the piece for the first time. She thought he wanted to listen to it again, but after the song ended, the lingering sound lingered in her ears for a long time.
Mo Liyuan seemed unsatisfied. "Yuer, I feel like I didn't play a note right just now. Keep going!"
"oh!"
So, Lan Xiyue had to blow the jade flute again, and Mo Liyuan played the instrument again and again to accompany her.
After an unknown amount of time, the melody of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" echoed countless times throughout the Regent's Palace. Lan Xiyue felt her lips dry, her cheeks aching, and her arms aching. She secretly vowed to herself: She never wanted to play the flute again!
Mo Liyuan's gaze fell gently on Lan Xiyue, "Yu'er, come again!"
Lan Xiyue glared at Mo Liyuan fiercely, "Mo Liyuan, you bastard, that's enough! My cheeks are hurt from playing the flute. I swear, I will never play the flute again, okay?" Before she finished speaking, she threw the flute in her hand to the ground. The crisp sound of the flute breaking was as shattered as her mood at the moment.
Then she jumped up angrily and left the Regent's Palace.
Mo Liyuan looked at the broken flute on the ground and frowned.
Tianyi was watching from the side, confused. He stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Master, the princess is angry, aren't you going to comfort her?"
He was filled with confusion. What had happened during his master's absence? After returning, he and the princess kept playing the same song together. He felt so sorry for the princess's tired cheeks just watching, but the master seemed not to notice. Now that the princess had left in anger, the master didn't even try to comfort her. This was really strange!
Mo Liyuan didn't answer, but stood up silently and walked towards the study.
Elsewhere, Lan Xiyue returned to the Lan Mansion in a rage. She went straight to the attic and lay on the couch, rubbing her aching cheeks with both hands, her heart filled with anger.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded inopportunely: "Oh my God! This system is laughing to death. This regent is too jealous! But his method of torturing people is also novel, hahahaha!"
Lan Xiyue's expression darkened instantly, and she said coldly, "System!"
System: "Alright, alright, this system won't laugh. Host, you too, I told you to kiss him, wouldn't he calm down? He wouldn't come up with this trick to torture you."
Lan Xiyue snorted coldly, "Damn man, what a sick man! It's so pitiful that my cheeks are sore from playing the flute. He is so inhumane, hateful!"
She lazily lay on the small couch and called out, "Early Spring, Early Summer!"
Xiao Shu walked into the room, bowed, and said in a soft and respectful voice: "Miss, didn't Chuchun and Chuxia go out with you? They haven't come back yet."
Lan Xiyue said, "Oh!" "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I'll be back first. They're probably on their way back with Qian Duoduo. By the way, Xiaoshu, are you feeling better? Are you still taking the medicine I prescribed?"
Xiao Shu bowed again, with gratitude glittering in her eyes: "Thank you, Miss. I have been taking it. This month, my period is not as painful anymore, thanks to the medicine you prescribed."
Lan Xiyue nodded after hearing this. "That's good. Continue to recuperate. After a period of recuperation, I will change other medicines for you. If Xiaoshu gets married in the future, she will have her own children."
Xiao Shu lowered her head, a blush appeared on her face, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, young lady, for giving me and my mother the opportunity to serve you. Xiao Shu has no way to repay you and dare not ask for anything else." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but full of sincere emotion.
Lan Xiyue waved her hand upon seeing this. "Madame Liang is my wet nurse. She's always been very kind to me since I was little. This is as it should be. By the way, do you have someone you like? I can make the decision for you."
Hearing this, Xiao Shu's face became even more embarrassed and she shook her head awkwardly: "Miss, please stop teasing me. I'm not a virgin anymore, how can I dare to think of anything else." There was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in her voice. It was obvious that the unbearable past still left a deep mark in her heart.
Lan Xiyue frowned slightly upon hearing this, and spoke sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. You still have a lot of youth ahead of you. It was just that one time you misjudged someone. Oh, no, it was your scumbag father who traded you for money so you could marry a scumbag like that. You still have a long life ahead of you. Don't deny your future life because of this one misfortune."
Xiao Shu looked up at Lan Xiyue, tears of gratitude glistening in his eyes.
Liang Ti walked into the room with a plate of exquisite snacks in her hand and bowed. "I saw that the door of your room was open, so I specially prepared some snacks for you to try." After that, Liang Ti stepped forward and placed the snacks on the tea table beside her.
The pastry was golden in color and fragrant. Lan Xiyue smiled faintly upon hearing this. She reached out and picked up a piece, took a bite, savored it carefully, and then praised, "Hmm! Not bad. The osmanthus cake made by the wet nurse is really delicious."
Seeing this, Liang Ti's face lit up with a satisfied smile. She asked in confusion, "As long as the young lady likes it, it's just... eh? Why aren't Chuchun and Chuxia here? Normally, if she made some snacks, Chuxia would be eager to serve them to the young lady, but they're nowhere to be seen today?"
Lan Xiyue's smile widened upon hearing this. "They should be back soon, I think. I'll go ahead today, and they'll be here later."
After hearing this, Liang Ti didn't ask any more questions. She bowed again and said respectfully, "In that case, I won't disturb you any more. I will go and prepare lunch." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Xiao Shu also retreated. For a moment, Lan Xiyue was the only one left in the room.
