Chapter 477 Chunshui Persuades Yuan Xiangxuan
By the time Yuan Xiangxuan was about to reach the gate of the Yuan Mansion, it was almost dawn. If it weren't for Fan Houyang and the others who secretly protected her all the way, she would never have been able to reach the gate of the Yuan Mansion safely.
But it was obvious that Yuan Xiangxuan did not have this awareness. She cried all the way. When she cried too much, she would stop and cry for a while before walking again.
Fan Houyang secretly accompanied Yuan Xiangxuan all the way and watched her cry all the way. In the end, he felt so distressed that he went to ask Aunt Chunshui to show up.
If this silly girl came back home so late without anyone's support, Fan Houyang was worried that she wouldn't even be able to get into the house.
Chunshui thought for a moment and replied truthfully, "Third Young Master, I can show myself, but I will tell Miss Yuan that it was your idea, not His Highness's. And when I return later, I will report the truth to His Highness."
Chunshui will not allow anyone to do anything in front of His Highness.
When Fan Houyang heard Chunshui say this, he quickly responded, "Of course, of course. Thank you, Aunt Chunshui!"
After he finished speaking, he bowed solemnly to Chunshui. How could Chunshui dare to accept his greeting? He immediately ran away and hurried forward to help Yuan Xiangxuan knock on the door.
Fan Houyang felt that he would have to live a life caught between his mother and his wife before he even got married.
But Fan Houyang realized belatedly at this moment that sometimes appearing too early may not necessarily be a good thing for others.
Now thinking about it, in my past life, the Yuan family marrying Yuan Xiangxuan to me wasn't necessarily for her own good. In my past life, I always knew I had no future!
So his wife must have been suffering in her previous life. After figuring this out, Fan Houyang felt even more embarrassed. He couldn't just endure it without suffering!
Yuan Xiangxuan was walking peacefully when she saw someone suddenly jump out. She was startled! But when she saw who it was, she was instantly filled with joy.
"So the princess sent you to follow me!"
Regardless of what she was thinking, Chunshui still smiled and replied to Yuan Xiangxuan, "Miss Yuan, don't overthink it. Our Highness is busy and has no time to deal with such trivial matters. It was the Third Young Master who asked this of me."
The main reason was that Chunshui felt that she was just a servant, and no matter what the prince's attitude towards Miss Yuan was, it was no reason for her to show off her power. So she tried her best to keep her expression gentle.
"It turns out to be the Third Young Master!" Yuan Xiangxuan's eyes were brighter than before.
Chunshui knew what Miss Yuan was thinking when he saw her like this. What girl doesn't want her future husband to be someone who can care about her?
Chunshui could only shake his head helplessly and quickly walked forward to knock on the door.
The Yuan Mansion's doorman heard someone knocking on the door and asked sharply, "Who is it?"
You can’t blame the doorman for his bad tone, it’s mainly because it’s really too late!
Yuan Xiangxuan quickly responded loudly: "It's me, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family!"
As a result, there was complete silence all around, as if the question and answer just now had never existed. If you didn’t know, you would think the doorman was not there at all!
Yuan Xiangxuan looked at the court lady Chunshui beside the princess. Although Chunshui was smiling, Yuan Xiangxuan's face flushed red. Yuan Xiangxuan felt extremely ashamed and embarrassed at this moment. She shouted at the door again: "Open the door quickly, I'm back."
After Yuan Xiangxuan did all the work, there was still no movement inside. She could only kick the door a few times to vent her anger.
After struggling for a long time, she finally sat down on the ground in frustration, leaning against the gate of Yuan Mansion. She had been walking for so long and was exhausted.
Yuan Xiangxuan muttered in a low voice: "Aunt, do you think I'm a joke?"
Yuan Xiangxuan's voice was very soft. If it weren't for the fact that the surroundings were very quiet and Chunshui was practicing martial arts, she wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.
Normally, Chunshui would have ignored what she heard. After all, the masters' affairs were beyond the control of a servant like her. But as she watched the Third Young Master constantly making gestures to her in the dark, she could only sigh helplessly.
Chunshui could only reply, "Well, it does sound like a joke. Don't complain to me about how hard your life is. You have to make your own way in life."
After what happened today, Yuan Xiangxuan realized that she had completely displeased the princess. Besides feeling completely brokenhearted, she also felt endlessly aggrieved. "Aunt, you don't understand. What do I have? I have nothing."
She must still be a little scared! Today was the first time she had experienced such a vicious plot, the first time she had experienced betrayal by someone close to her. She had to endure the sadness and fear in her heart and ask for a chance for the maid she had grown up with. What had been done was done, and she had no regrets.
"Oh, what does it have to do with me if you have nothing? It has even less to do with His Highness. Even if the Third Young Master values you now, if you continue to be a burden, think about it from your perspective. How long can it last? One or two years?
Your Highness often says that when two people live together, they have to make sacrifices for each other. From now on, the Third Young Master will be pursuing his career outside, while you will cause trouble at home. Who will cover for the two of you? Your Highness doesn't only have the Third Young Master as his son, don't you understand?
The Third Young Master values you so much, don’t you also have to learn to grow up?
Miss Yuan, just listen casually, I have overstepped my bounds!"
Chunshui apologized sincerely after she finished speaking. In fact, she shouldn't have said these words. She just looked at the anxious boy in the dark and was willing to go beyond her authority for him.
Yuan Xiangxuan looked up at the court lady who was talking so cheerfully. She suddenly envied such confident people. It seemed that any difficulty was no problem for them.
Chunshui saw Miss Yuan looking at her pitifully like a kitten. She could only sigh helplessly and reached out to pull her up. "Alright, get up!"
Chunshui felt that as she had been with His Highness for all these years and had been influenced by him, her heart had become softer.
After she pulled Miss Yuan up, she knocked hard on the door with the hilt of her sword and said in a harsh tone, "Open the door quickly. The Princess's Mansion has sent your Miss back."
This time, after Chunshui reported the eldest princess's name, someone came to open the door soon.
After the door opened, not only the doorman came, but also Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan.
"My master asked me to send Miss Yuan back. Miss Yuan was frightened today, so please don't blame her too much." After Chunshui finished speaking, he turned around and left. As for how the Yuan family understood it, that was the Yuan family's business.
She can only help so far, everyone has to walk their own path.
Not to mention the reaction of the Yuan family, Yuan Xiangxuan's eyes couldn't help but redden as she watched Chunshui leave. She knew that the female official's ambiguous words were meant to help her.
She silently wiped her eyes with her sleeve and followed her father and mother into the house.
Chunshui did not leave directly, but went to the place where the third young master was staying in secret, and stood quietly beside him waiting for the third young master.
