"My lord, please kill me. I am the one who has wronged you."
Youwei pressed his forehead against the ground, wishing for death.
He seldom called himself a servant in front of the prince, because the prince never treated him as a servant. His parents died when he was young, and it was the prince who took him home and raised him.
He was also taught to read and write, and his food and clothing were even better than those of ordinary young masters, but in the end he still let the prince down.
Seeing him crying like this, the Ninth Prince couldn't bear to beat him to death: "Alright, get up."
Youwei thought he had heard it wrong, and opened his mouth in shock. He looked at the prince in disbelief, not daring to stand up: "Prince, are you not angry anymore?"
The Ninth Prince was not angry with him in the first place. If he really liked Xia Xuejian, then he could have her. I will not compete with him for her. How bad must my vision be to be fond of such a fickle woman?
But it is also true that Youwei betrayed him. Just for such a fickle woman, she actually betrayed him?
"Go back and find the butler to get your indenture. From now on, we will go our separate ways. There will be no more ties between us."
When Youwei heard this, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly. The prince driving him away made him feel more uncomfortable than actually beating him to death.
"Your Highness..." Her voice was filled with tears: "Your Highness, please don't chase me away. I will never see Miss Xia again."
He really had never thought of competing with the prince for Miss Xia. He knew he was unworthy, so how could he dare to have the intention of blaspheming her? It was just that he might have been pretending to be the prince for too long and couldn't control himself for a moment...
"Prince..." Youwei knelt down and crawled to the feet of the Ninth Prince, raised his head and begged him with tears in his eyes.
But the Ninth Prince did not soften his heart: "Youwei, we are not the same kind of people, do you understand? If you continue to stay with me, you will make bigger mistakes in the future. I don't want to really kill you with my own hands one day."
"So go away and live your life."
Youwei cried and shook his head. He didn’t understand what it meant that they were not the same kind of people. He was the prince’s man in life and would be the prince’s ghost in death.
The Ninth Prince was not heartless, he helped him wipe the tears from his face and said, "Don't cry, man, how can you cry like this? With the indenture, you can get rid of your status as a slave, find a legitimate job, marry and have children."
"Your Majesty, I know you like Miss Xia very much. I promise that I will never appear next to Miss Xia in the future. Your Majesty, please don't chase me away."
The Ninth Prince felt sick after hearing this. Who told you that I like her?
Which of your eyes saw that I like her? Why are you showing off your intelligence in front of me?
"Shut up! If you dare to mention Xia Xuejian again, I will kill you right now."
Youwei was stunned, because the prince's tone did not sound like a joke, and he also knew that the prince really didn't want him this time. Although he was sad, he didn't continue to pester him.
It was his fault in the first place, how could he have the guts to touch the prince's woman?
The prince was very merciful by not beating him to death. How could he have the nerve to continue staying by the prince's side?
After he kowtowed twice to the prince, he lowered his head and wiped the tears from his face. Finally, he said, "Prince, take care of yourself. Youwei is gone and will not be able to take care of you in the future."
The Ninth Prince turned around and didn't look at him until he heard his footsteps fade away. Then he sighed and said, "I hope that if you leave the palace, you can stay away from Xia Xuejian, the evildoer."
However, Youwei obviously let down his prince's kindness, so he left the palace and turned around to find Xia's mansion.
Xia Xuejian was a little panicked when she learned that he was driven out by the Ninth Prince. Youwei was the Ninth Prince's confidant and had followed him since childhood. If the Ninth Prince was not really angry, he would never have driven him away.
At the same time, she felt very guilty: "I'm sorry, Youwei, it's my fault that you were misunderstood by your prince..."
"Ye Qingwan used to call me a troublemaker, and I thought she was being too harsh, but now it seems that I was the one who harmed you!"
"Miss Xia, don't say that. This has nothing to do with you. It's my problem. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have pretended to be my prince and gave you the wrong impression." Youwei felt that it was all his fault.
Not only did it make the prince angry, but it also caused Miss Xia to be misunderstood by the prince.
"But Miss Xia, I am very sure that my prince likes you, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry."
Xia Xuejian was actually not sure whether the Ninth Prince had her in his heart. Because recently she found that the Ninth Prince seemed to be rejecting her. So when she heard Youwei say this, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes and she said in surprise.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. I have followed the prince since I was a child and I know him best. He will not interfere with my feelings at all. Even if I am with the daughter of the prime minister, as long as I don't get into trouble, he will support me."
"It's only because of you that he would be so angry."
After hearing Youwei's well-reasoned analysis, Xia Xuejian's uneasy heart finally settled down, but she soon became worried again.
One dares to speak, and the other dares to believe.
"But now he mistakenly thinks I..." Speaking of what happened last night, she really found it a little difficult to speak. She didn't know what was wrong with her to do such a shameless thing.
Youwei comforted her: "It's okay. Although my prince has a cold personality, he will not give up easily as long as he has determined something. So as long as you explain it clearly to him, everything will be fine."
When Xia Xuejian heard this, she burst into laughter and nodded happily: "Thank you, Youwei."
"Then take care of yourself. I'm leaving now."
"Where are you going?"
Youwei looked at the familiar street behind him, feeling a sense of worry: "I don't know, let's just go wherever we go."
Xia Xue couldn't bear it, so she said, "My family is still in need of a doorman, if you don't mind..."
She felt embarrassed when she said this. Youwei used to be the Ninth Prince's confidant, so how could he be willing to come here to be a doorman?
But unexpectedly, Youwei agreed immediately. His idea now was very simple. He felt sorry for the prince and wanted to do something to atone for his sins, but the prince would not allow him to stay in the palace.
Now he stays in the Xia Mansion to take care of Miss Xia for the prince, so that the prince will have no worries when he works at the front.
There is no need to worry about Ye Qingwan making things difficult for Miss Xia.
If Ye Qingwan heard these words, she would really applaud him: Youwei is truly a little genius, and a true confidant of your prince.
I just wonder if his prince would regret not killing him on the spot if he knew about this.
