Chapter 3: Seeking Death, I Will Grant You
Chunxi didn't dare to wear the clothes of the future eldest lady of the Wei family.
She followed the maid to Xiao Qinghe and knelt down to kowtow: "I, Chunxi, thank you for your kindness, young lady. However, I am of low status and dare not dirty your clothes."
Xiao Qinghe is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel, and her aunt is the virtuous concubine who is favored by the palace.
She is born with unparalleled beauty and her talent and fame are unmatched.
Chunxi had only seen her twice from a distance before, but now, looking at her up close, she looked like a fairy from heaven who had mistakenly fallen into the mortal world.
"I see you vomited a lot just now, and you still feel unwell. I brought a doctor with me, would you like to let him take a look?"
Xiao Qinghe's voice is also pleasant.
Chunxi whispered, "It's nothing serious, but I still feel nauseous and dizzy."
Xiao Qinghe asked someone to call a doctor.
The doctor quickly concluded, "The girl's pulse is steady and strong, and she's in good health. It's just that she was dizzy and vomiting because of the bumpy ride just now."
Chunxi kowtowed again to express his gratitude, wishing that everyone would gather around to listen carefully to what the doctor said.
There is no bastard in her belly!
Those who destroy others’ reputation will be cursed and go to hell!!!
After the doctor took his pulse, Ye Er changed his clothes and walked over here.
It was inconvenient to take a bath when he was outside, so the servants just fetched water from the stream and helped him wash briefly. Ye Er still felt very dirty, as if his whole body was bitten by thousands of ants.
"Bitch, I'll kill you!"
Ye Er gritted his teeth and kicked Chunxi hard as soon as he got closer.
Chunxi didn't dare to dodge, so he could only turn slightly to the side and take the kick with his shoulder.
“Ahhh, it hurts!”
Chunxi was kicked out and screamed immediately. Then he quickly got up and ran forward with all his strength: "Help! Someone is killing me! Help me! Someone come quickly~"
Chunxi had a very loud voice and his legs left afterimages when he ran. There was no aesthetic appeal at all. He looked like a squawking monkey, extremely funny.
The corners of Ye Er's lips twitched, and the anger in his heart strangely disappeared.
He had Chunxi brought back and sternly scolded him, "Shut up! If you dare to yell again, I'll kill you."
Chunxi suddenly felt like a chicken with its neck strangled. He dared not make a sound and knelt on the ground in panic.
The servants who arrived first set up a tent with bamboo curtains, put up a low table, placed fruits and snacks on it, and lit a stove.
Wei Lingze was making tea himself.
He cleaned the tea set, changed the water to make tea, the tea boiled, the steam rose, and the scenery in the valley made him look like an immortal.
The tea was ready. He poured a cup in front of Xiao Qinghe and said, "Be careful, it's hot."
Her voice is as gentle as jade, and her eyes are full of tenderness and affection.
The noise around him was not audible to him, and Chunxi's life or death could not disturb his interest. It seemed that he could only see Xiao Qinghe in his eyes.
What a fucking pretense.
Ye Er rolled his eyes and raised his chin towards Chunxi: "I'm still in need of a loyal maid. I'll pay you double what you earn in the Wei family each month."
When it comes to money, earning a lot is not a skill, having the life to spend it is a skill.
Chunxi cried out, "Master Ye, please forgive me. I really didn't mean it. I'm already an old maid. I finally got the grace of the lady to restore my freedom. I just want to get married quickly so that I don't end up alone. Please have mercy on me, Master Ye."
Chunxi kowtowed as he spoke.
If there hadn't been soft grass beneath her, she would have been bleeding from the head.
Everyone's eyes were on Wei Lingze, who was sipping his tea calmly without even frowning.
After a moment, Xiao Qinghe spoke up: "A woman of good birth is free to marry, and Second Young Master Ye has no right to interfere."
Ye Er smiled at Xiao Qinghe with an innocent look on his face: "I just asked casually, and I didn't force her to be my maid. She insisted on bowing to me. I don't know who she wants to feel sorry for."
These words were very targeted. Among the people present, only Wei Lingze and Chunxi were familiar with each other.
Everyone knows that the Wei family is a decent family and all the members of the family are loyal and righteous. Last year, Wei Lingze was inseparable from Chunxi, but now he is so cold, it seems like he has something to hide and is deliberately avoiding suspicion.
Xiao Qinghe curled his fingertips and quickly lowered his eyes to hide his emotions.
The Wei and Xiao families are old friends, and she and Wei Lingze have been engaged since childhood.
Three years ago, Wei Lingze showed his prowess on the battlefield. When the news of his victory came, the two families began to prepare for the wedding. However, Wei Lingze was seriously injured and paralyzed, and the entire Imperial Hospital was helpless.
Although the Xiao family did not cancel the engagement, the marriage was put on hold.
The friendship between childhood sweethearts for more than ten years was never more important than the interests of the family.
The elders of the Wei family did not blame her, and the friendship between the two families remained the same, but she knew that there was a rift between her and Wei Lingze.
The one stuck in this crack is Chunxi.
The same family background made her empathize with Wei Lingze's pain of paralysis. The fall from a favored child of heaven to a waste was enough to break Wei Lingze's spine. In the past three years, he has endured countless ridicules and experienced countless disappointments.
It was the maid named Chunxi who accompanied him through such difficult times.
Even if Wei Lingze fell in love and wanted to keep Chunxi by his side, she didn't even have the right to be jealous.
But he didn't stay, and even pretended nothing happened, and treated her as considerately as before.
Is Chunxi really unimportant, or is she so important that she cannot suffer any injustice, so we have to draw a clear line and protect her in a more comprehensive way?
Xiao Qinghe felt heavy in his heart, and in his peripheral vision, Wei Lingze suddenly stood up, drew out the Lingshuang sword and pointed it at Ye Er.
The Lingshuang Sword was given by His Majesty. It has been on the battlefield and drank blood. It was unsheathed after being sealed for three years, but it still gleams with a cold and murderous aura.
Ye Er's expression changed slightly, and he lost his arrogance: "Wei Lingze, what do you want to do?"
Wei Lingze raised his eyebrows, and the ethereal aura he had just displayed turned into a chilling murderous intent.
"Nothing, you want to die, I'll help you!"
Ye Er's face turned pale and everyone was frightened.
Wei Lingze's temperament changed drastically after he was injured. Although the Wei family blocked the news, the death of several servants inevitably led to the spread of the news that Wei Lingze had gone crazy.
"Master Wei, my master was just joking, don't take it seriously..."
Seeing that his young master was in danger, the servant of the Ye family hurried forward to beg for mercy, but before he could finish his words, the Lingshuang sword pierced into Ye Er's calf.
Bright red blood gushed out instantly, and Ye Er screamed, which was much more tragic than Chunxi's scream just now. The young lady from the noble family who had never seen blood was so scared that she burst into tears and hurriedly hid to the side. The scene was a little chaotic for a while.
Xiao Qinghe was also frightened, but did not hide. Instead, he stepped forward bravely and grabbed Wei Lingze's sword-holding hand: "Wei Lang, don't do this."
Amidst the noise, Xiao Qinghe's gentle voice came like a breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers.
The murderous aura on Wei Lingze dissipated a little. He lifted Chunxi's chin with the tip of his blood-stained sword. "After three years of taking care of me, I thought you were a quiet and obedient person. I didn't expect you to be so ambitious. When did you and the Ye guy become collusive? Was it him who taught you this tactic of playing hard to get?"
The blood on the sword was still warm, and the smell of blood rushed into Chunxi's nose, and his stomach began to churn again.
