Xiao Heng frowned tightly, his chin was tightly tense, and his expression on his face was not as calm as before. Xiao Yuti even noticed that her brother had subconsciously looked towards the dining room several times.
Xiao Yuti curled her lips and thought to herself: It’s just a cup of tea that has just passed. Is it as if she is so nervous?
Xiao Heng couldn't help but move, and was about to turn around and quietly, but he saw Aunt Fangzhou wearing an autumn-scented robe dress coming.
Xiao Heng hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"
Fangzhou was quite funny when she saw the prince's appearance. She had never seen the prince's appearance so disobedient. She pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, Prince, Prince, I just chatted with Miss Ajiao for a few words. Now the lady asked me to let Prince in."
When Xiao Heng heard this, he hurried in without thinking. Xiao Yuti followed closely behind.
He raised his legs and walked over the threshold, but his eyes looked inside. He saw the little girl standing safely in front of his mother. The expression on his face was slightly smiling, and he could not tell at all that he had suffered any grievance. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at his mother.
Lan was so angry that her heart ached.
What does it mean to forget your mother with a wife? That’s it!
And this is not a wife.
Lan took a deep breath and said, "I just thought about it. When this maid is doing such an extraordinary thing, she can no longer stay in your room..."
"Mother--"
Lan immediately interrupted Xiao Heng: "Listen to me first." She looked at her son and continued, "This maid is a person around the old lady, so I can't deal with her without authorization, and... and if this mistake is said, it's not all her fault. Brother Heng, you also know your identity. If the old lady and your father know about these things you did, do you think this maid can stay in the Duke of Jingguo Mansion? I haven't decided on the maid's stay or not today, so let me consider it. But during this period, she will stay with me."
Go to Qinglan House?
Although it was better than expected, Xiao Heng still didn't want to. He turned his head and looked at the little girl beside him, knowing that he did not properly consider it for his own selfish desires. But he was not at ease to let her stay by his mother's side.
Seeing that his son showed his reluctant appearance, Lan asked Ajiao: "From today on, stay in Qinglanju to serve me, are you willing?"
Asked her if she wanted to? Ajiaomumu looked at Lan and saw that the prince was also looking at her. She knew that if she said she didn't want to, the prince would definitely protect her, but in this way, there might be more estrangement between the prince and the Duke's wife. She also knew that when she stayed by the prince's side, the prince's enthusiasm for her might soon pass. However, because she hurt the mother-son relationship between the two, the prince would not pursue it at this moment. After that, the prince would definitely blame her for these.
Ajiao didn't think much and answered honestly: "I am willing."
The little maid's voice was extremely sincere and she could not hear any reluctance. Lan was stunned for a moment, then she regained her expression and looked at her son: "Did you hear it?"
Xiao Heng was cold and silent for a while before saying, "I know, my son knows." Then he said nothing and said nothing.
Ajiao suddenly felt that he deserved it too quickly, and was afraid that the prince would get angry, so he carefully looked at the man beside him. Looking at his expression at the moment, it was indeed not good-looking. Ajiao felt guilty, but he also felt that his behavior was correct.
For a moment, there was no sound in the dining room. Then Lan asked Ajiao to change his clothes, and then planned to take people away.
Xiao Heng then spoke: "It's getting late, mother will leave tomorrow."
Xiao Yuti also said, "Yes, mom, I haven't come to this house yet."
Lan's heart was in a mess and could not stop talking to her son at this moment. Seeing that Ajiao had already changed his clothes and came over, she looked up and down before she relieved her brows. She stood up and Fangzhou, who was beside her, came to support her. Lan's tone was decisive: "No need. Didn't you say that you need to be quiet for a few days in the past few days? I, a mother, naturally understand you. If you want to stay in the house for a few more days, you will be allowed to do it. Anyway, you have never regarded the Duke's Mansion as your home."
Lan's words blocked Xiao Heng speechlessly.
Xiao Yuti was powerless, so she had to steal a sympathetic look at her brother, and then quietly followed her mother.
But Xiao Heng knew that since his mother had not driven away, it would not be too embarrassing to her. It would take some time as she said. Today, he planned to bring people to the house for a few days, but the relationship between them was closer, but unexpectedly something went wrong. Xiao Heng did not speak anymore and allowed his mother to take the person away. The little girl was heartless and followed her with her regular behavior, and she didn't even look at him.
Xiao Heng was so angry that he vomited blood.
·
Ajiao followed Lan into the carriage. Looking at Lan's face, he didn't dare to say anything. Then he slighted at Xiao Yuti, and the two of them were tacit.
Until he returned to the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion, Xiao Yuti was ordered to return to his cross-age courtyard by Lan, and Ajiao followed Lan to Qinglan House.
Logically speaking, it was too late now, and Ajiao's things were in Zhitangxuan, so it would not be too late to clean it up tomorrow. However, Kolan was determined to order Fangzhou to arrange her residence in the servant's room of Qinglanju, and asked her to pack up her things from Zhitangxuan and bring her over.
Ajiao didn't dare to say anything, so he hurried back to Jitangxuan, but met Ruyi. Ruyi also heard something, and saw Ajiao packing things, so she couldn't help asking: "You are--"
Ajiao quickly packed up his things, and then said to Ruyi: "Madam asked me to go to Qinglanju to serve him, and I don't know if I can come back. Aunt Ruyi, I will work hard to take care of the prince in the future. He looks silent, but in fact, it's easy to get along with." Ajiao suddenly felt that he had said a little too much, but when he thought that he had already understood him so much and was so close to him, he felt a little reluctant to leave. However, she just went to the wife's side, and she was not unable to see him in the future. Compared to the affairs between her and the prince, the wife was indeed merciful.
Ruyi knew about Ajiao's relationship with the prince, so the wife was just transferring the person from Zhitangxuan, probably because she was afraid of being too impatient. She looked at the dark outside and prepared a lantern for her. Ajiao said "Thank you" and then walked out of Zhitangxuan alone.
Ruyi stood outside, feeling the night wind was a little cool. She turned around and planned to go back to the house, but she saw someone standing under the corridor.
The slender and graceful body is Jinse.
Jinse walked over, saluted Ruyi, and asked curiously: "Aunt Ruyi, that Ah Jiao was just now..."
Ruyi sighed, thinking that the three maids who were originally from Jitangxuan were only one of them left. She sighed for a moment and said, "Madam transferred Ajiao to Qinglanju."
Jinse heard this and was both surprised and happy. What was surprised was that Ajiao served him well in Jitangxuan, and the prince was quite favored. Why did he say he would be transferred away? And he was so anxious? What was happy was that once Ajiao left, no one would argue with her. Jinse suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked tentatively: "Will the lady send someone to Jitangxuan again? Otherwise... who will serve the prince?"
Ruyi understands Jinse's thoughts, but also knows that most of the maids in this Duke's Mansion have such thoughts. Besides, the master of Jitangxuan is still a young and handsome prince. The girl's family is more fighting for her, and there is nothing wrong with it. Ruyi is also realistic and said, "When the prince comes back, I will go and ask him what he means. If the wife does not send the maids, she will leave it to you for serving the prince in the future."
This was exactly what Jinse said, and her little face couldn't help but smile a little, and her ears turned slightly red.
At this moment, in Qinglan's residence, Fangzhou saw that Lan looked irritable and hurriedly ordered people to cook Anshen tea. When she saw Lan's drinking tea, she asked, "What will Madam do with that maid?"
Lan put down the teacup, glanced at Fangzhou, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Fangzhou knew that Lanshi had always been a decisive and decisive person. Now this maid is so outspoken. According to Lanshi's usual temper, there is no room for maneuver directly. Fangzhou was thinking about the prince's prince and suddenly understood, "Is Madam worried about the prince's prince? But... Although the prince likes this maid quite a lot, he can't even match your mother as a wife."
Why didn't Lan know that this was a comforting word? Is this maid important in her son's heart? Now she can see that no matter how stupid she is.
It's just that this is one of the reasons, and there's another...
Lan frowned, and the words of the little maid in her mind were always lingering. The maid said that she was still a virgin, but the prince was kind to her but a gentleman was polite. But there was no man in this world who didn't like men and women's affairs? Moreover, this girl was not only beautiful, but also liked by him.
I spent time with the girl I like, and I spent day and night together. Moreover, this girl was specially arranged for her by her mother, so there was no reason not to touch her.
unless……
When Lan thought of this "unless", he suddenly felt frightened and even his hands trembled.
She only has such a son, and she doesn't want to have children with Xiao Yantai in the future. If there is such a problem with her son's health, then it makes sense that he has not been close to women and refuses to marry a wife over the years. Lan Shi was so worried, because her son now likes this little maid. If she is a mother, she doesn't know what extreme things her son will do.
Lan was thinking that Ajiao had packed his things and placed them in the servant's room. He was coming in to pay a visit to Lan at this moment.
Lan raised her eyes, looked at the little maid's clean and pleasing maid's costume, and then looked at the dazzling little face. Some resentment in her heart spread to her head. Lan said, "If you do things in Qinglanju in the future, you will not be as casual as Jitangxuan. If something goes wrong, I will not favor anyone like the prince."
Ajiao nodded quickly: "I know."
Lan narrowed her eyes and said slowly: "Do you think the prince will take you back soon?"
Ajiao knew that the Duke's wife was annoyed, so she didn't take her words to heart. She just knelt down in a regular manner and raised her head slightly and said to Lan: "I know that I have made a mistake, which has made the wife and the prince's prince embarrassed. Today, the lady did not drive me out of the mansion, but transferred me to Qinglan's residence. I am grateful. Before, I was really willing to serve the prince. The prince is a celestial and talented person. If he has no admiration for the prince, it would be a lie. But in addition to this, the prince extended a helping hand to solve the troubles in my family last time, and was considered to be my benefactor of my servant, so I still feel grateful to the prince... I know that my behavior is extraordinary, and being able to serve my wife today is also sincere. I don't want to see the wife and the prince's wife's estrangement due to my servant."
But Lan smiled slightly and said, "It's really a lotus, and it's a lot."
Ajiao said: "Every word is heart-to-heart."
Lanshi only said that this was the maid who looked well-behaved and gentle, but she was not stupid at all. At this moment, news came from Jitangxuan, and Fangzhou said to Lanshi: "Madam, the prince is back overnight."
When Ajiao heard this, he looked surprised.
Lan knew that her son was afraid that she would make things difficult for the maid, so she rushed back. She had thought that she would have to come back tomorrow, but now she was so impatient. Lan glared at Ajiao fiercely, and the latter shrank his neck in fear and lowered his head in panic.
Lan waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, you go down."
"I will leave." Ajiao saluted, then stood up and left Lan's house.
Ajiao returned to the lower room.
Because the servants in Qinglanju are all full, she temporarily freed up a small room next to the servants' room. This room is naturally not as good as Jitangxuan, and no one has lived there for a long time, and the gray inside is thick. Although it is getting late, Ajiao still decided to clean up.
This busy work lasted for most of the whole hour.
In addition, she was having menstruation today and felt uncomfortable and became a little tired for a moment.
Ajiao covered her swollen belly and felt the faint pain a little uncomfortable. She quickly poured some hot water, finished drinking with the cup, and then lay down on the couch.
The room was dark, and Ajiao opened his eyes, but he couldn't sleep. The prince missed her now. He must be afraid that his wife would make things difficult for her when he came back tonight.
Ajiao narrowed his eyes and rubbed his little face a few times, feeling that it was very good to be missed by others.
But she was used to serving the prince, and she suddenly separated and couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. However, Ajiaosu was a generous person. After thinking about it for a while, she fell asleep peacefully.
So when Xiao Heng came over quietly, he saw that the person on the couch was sleeping soundly, so he almost left.
As Ajiao heard the movement around her, he quickly opened his eyes, but it was so dark that he couldn't see it. He subconsciously clenched the bedding and whispered: "Who?" She heard that the person didn't speak for a long time, then sat up from the couch, draped his long hair and looked at the shadow in front of him, "Is it... the prince?"
Xiao Heng said: "No."
Ajiao burst out with a "puchi" laughing, when will the prince joking?
She was shocked just now, but she was filled with joy. She was about to get up and light the lamp, but the person standing next to the couch sat down and grabbed her wrist. The prince's strength was very strong, and Ajiao knew that he was afraid he was upright, so he had to say angrily: "Don't worry, Prince, please, Madam, you won't make things difficult for me, and it's also very good. I'll get used to it if I stay for a few more days."
Listening to her words, Xiao Heng was not happy at all.
He never wanted her to get used to it. He hoped that she would ask her to take him away and go back to the hall with him. After that... he taught her a lesson. But now, she clearly felt that this place was not bad and had the intention to stay in Qinglanju for a long time. In addition to being angry, Xiao Heng felt a little disappointed and thought to himself: After spending so many days together and doing so many things close to him, she seemed to have not taken it at all.
It seemed as if he was wishful thinking.
Ajiao suddenly said "ah" and touched his hand and said with concern: "Why is the prince's hand so cold?"
Xiao Heng's heart was warm, then he let go, took off his boots and got on the couch, shook her bedding and crawled in, hugged the little girl in her bedclothes inside, and then wrapped it in the bedding again.
Xiao Heng said: "Are you really willing to give up?"
Ajiao leaned against the chest of the person beside him, covering the man's big hand with both hands, and said seriously: "Criminal, I don't want to make my wife angry. Moreover... The prince likes me, and I am very happy, but I know my identity as a prince. In fact, to be honest, I have never changed my thoughts in my heart. When the prince gets married in the future, can I remember the love I used to leave the house earlier?"
These words accidentally sprinkled a handful of salt on Xiao Heng's wound. He finally waited for her and was planning to compensate her well. He felt that the two got along very well, but she had never thought about staying with him at all.
Then did she ask for peace for him and all the sweet words she said to him fool people?
To be continued...
