Chapter 264 Xiaodie also likes Wuming
The next morning, warm sunlight gently streamed through the carved window frames, falling onto the ornate bed. Outside, magpies chirped merrily, their clear calls breaking the morning's tranquility.
Murong Yi had important business to attend to and left early. Lin Qianqian woke up slowly to the sound of magpies chirping, still sleepy, and stretched lazily.
At this moment, Xiaodie carried the toiletries into the inner room. When she saw that Lin Qianqian was awake, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face. She quickly stepped forward and said gently, "Miss, you're awake." As she spoke, she carefully helped Lin Qianqian up and gently helped her out of bed, afraid that she might bump into something.
Lin Qianqian hummed in agreement, her voice still soft and sweet from just waking up. The moment she stood up, Wuming's candid words from the previous day flooded her mind, echoing repeatedly in her head.
Her thoughts were deeply drawn in, and her eyes became somewhat unfocused. She gazed at Xiaodie for a long time without looking away, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. Her smile was as bright and beautiful as the blooming flowers in spring.
Xiaodie felt a little uncomfortable under Lin Qianqian's gaze. She tilted her head slightly, a puzzled look on her face, her big, watery eyes full of confusion. She asked softly, "Miss, why are you staring at me like that?" As she spoke, she reached out and touched her face, as if to check if there was anything on it.
Lin Qianqian looked at Xiaodie, her eyes filled with tenderness and emotion, and said softly, "Xiaodie, you've been with me for so many years. Now I'm married and have children, but you've always stayed by my side..."
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie's heart skipped a beat. She thought Lin Qianqian was going to send her away, and her face instantly showed a panicked expression. She hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Qianqian's hand, and said anxiously, "Miss, please don't send me away! Xiaodie has served you since I was a child. In my heart, you are my family. I will be loyal to you for the rest of my life and just want to stay by your side forever!"
Seeing Xiaodie's nervous expression, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and gently patted the back of her hand, comforting her, "Silly child, how could I send you away? It's just... you're not young anymore, it's time to settle down, start a family, and have your own place to belong."
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie's cheeks instantly turned crimson, like ripe apples. She lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her dress, and whispered, "Miss..."
Seeing Xiaodie's shy expression, Lin Qianqian understood and smiled even more, asking, "Do you have someone you like? Why don't you tell me?"
Xiaodie lowered her head even further, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, and stammered, "I..."
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian encouraged her, "Tell me what's wrong! The prince and I will stand up for you!"
Xiaodie was both embarrassed and anxious. She stamped her foot and said coquettishly, "Miss! Oh dear!"
Lin Qianqian's interest grew even higher, and she continued to tease her: "Which young master is it? Shall we go and propose marriage?"
In her panic, Xiaodie blurted out, "No need for a marriage proposal, he's already in the manor!" As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized what she had said and was immediately filled with shame. She covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she began to sob softly.
Looking at Xiaodie's expression, Lin Qianqian's eyes were full of doting and joy. She sighed softly and said with a smile, "It's Wuming, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie slowly raised her head, her fair cheeks still bearing traces of wet tears, her face flushed. She bit her lower lip slightly, nodded gently, and said in a soft, shy voice, "Mmm~"
Upon hearing this answer, Lin Qianqian was slightly taken aback at first, then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, revealing a gratified smile on her face.
She thought to herself, "So Xiaodie also likes Wuming. Judging from the situation, the two are in love. Wuming is reliable and dependable, and Xiaodie is my most trusted maid. How can I not help them? I might as well take this opportunity to bring them together and make it a beautiful story."
Thinking this, Lin Qianqian smiled, affectionately took Xiaodie's hand, patted it gently, and said with tenderness and concern in her eyes, "Xiaodie, don't worry. Since you like Wuming, I will definitely help you. Wuming is an upright, kind, and reliable person. Besides, he is sincere towards you. If you two can be together, I will be genuinely happy for you. Leave this to me and the Prince; we'll make sure it's a grand and successful affair!"
Upon hearing Lin Qianqian's words, Xiaodie lowered her head shyly, her cheeks quickly flushing a rosy blush, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
Her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her dress, her fingertips trembling slightly. Though she didn't speak, her slightly trembling shoulders and flushed ears revealed her inner excitement and joy.
After a long while, she gently shook Lin Qianqian's hand, seemingly scolding her but also full of dependence, her joy almost overflowing from this subtle gesture.
