Chapter 229: The Woman in the House
Shen Huan didn't understand.
Luo Yu took a sip of tea and asked Hua Shuqing to take out some roasted chestnuts for everyone to share.
Xia Liang rushed in at this time. When he heard that there were fried chestnuts, he immediately grabbed a handful and put them in front of Sister Luo Yu first, and then distributed them to Aunt Fang and a few children. After a while, the whole plate of fried chestnuts in front of Hua Shuqing was eaten up.
How could the young princess tolerate this country girl not giving her face? Although she could not defeat Miss Qin or argue with Miss Bai, she could teach this uneducated girl a lesson, so she immediately swung the whip.
Unfortunately, before she could use her trump card, Xia Liang pulled her into his arms, gently lifted her above his head with both hands, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the little princess looks chubby, but she doesn't weigh much. I wonder how far I can throw her."
As he spoke, he turned around, and the little princess was so scared that she waved her hands and kicked her legs for help, but to no avail.
The two maids of the young princess were jumping anxiously beside Xia Liang.
After a while, the little princess felt dizzy from spinning around and almost vomited the roasted chestnuts she had just eaten.
Luo Yu then slowly spoke: "Xia, damn, put her down quickly. Although the little princess refuses to submit to anyone, she has become much more obedient after submitting. You have to give her a chance to correct her mistakes."
Xia Liang then gently threw her to the ground, sat back in his seat, and began to peel chestnuts and eat them.
Everyone opened their mouths in shock.
Hua Shuqing: It turns out that this room is full of lunatics. It turns out that I am the weakest one and no one can defeat me.
Thinking of this, she felt extremely aggrieved and stomped her feet and trotted out.
He bumped into Bai Lingyi and Mei Zhengyan who were just coming back from school.
Bai Lingyi didn't like this unruly little princess very much, but he still glanced at her a few more times to show his concern.
Mei Zhengyan was relatively simple and didn't know how to read people's expressions, so he said something else: "Little Princess Sister, why are you crying?"
"I want you to manage."
Hua Shuqing didn't forget to retort. She felt that she was too weak and no one would help her. Everyone was just watching the fun. Even her two maids couldn't beat them. She felt really wronged.
She rushed out of Yinyue Courtyard and wanted to go back to the house but felt wronged. She felt the need to find brother Zhu Jinyou to complain, especially about the country girl named Xia Cao.
I happened to come to the front yard and found His Royal Highness Prince Ning and Yan Xuan walking together.
"Just keep an eye on her and don't let Miss Bai and the others get suspicious."
"Yes."
Just as Yan Xuan was about to leave, Hua Shuqing shouted to Prince Ning, "Brother Jinyou, that country girl named Xia Cao is not a good person."
As soon as Yan Xuan heard her mention Xia Cao, he refused to leave.
"Oh, what did she do to you again?"
Zhu Jinyou was really at a loss for words. The last time Hua Shuqing wanted to bully Miss Luo Yu, she ended up being taught a lesson, and she came to complain in the same way.
"She stole my roasted chestnuts and lifted me up in front of everyone, saying she was going to throw me to death... wuwu!"
This time she really wanted to cry. After all, it was really embarrassing when she was lifted up and spun around.
When Yan Xuan heard this, he covered his mouth and laughed secretly...
This Xia Cao is so violent, why does it feel a bit like Baihu's temperament, he always says what he means...
Zhu Jinyou sighed and tried to comfort her: "She is just a country girl who doesn't know any rules. Please be considerate and don't argue with her."
"But why would you let someone like this live in our palace? Someone like her isn't even fit to be a maid."
When Yan Xuan heard this, he wondered what kind of person this was. Xia Cao knew everything about astronomy and geography. She could also identify various herbs and knew medical skills. She was much better than this little princess.
Zhu Jinyou smiled helplessly: "I can't help it, but I didn't expect a little country girl to be able to lift you up so easily. It seems that she is quite strong. She must be a good hand at pulling back and shooting with a crossbow."
When Yan Xuan heard this, he thought, that’s great. Next time he will take Xia Cao to his grandfather to practice.
Hua Shuqing was so angry that she stamped her feet and said bitterly as she walked away: "Miss Bai likes her more than me. Why? It's obvious that I was here first, and Miss Bai knew me first."
Zhu Jinyou: ...
Why are all the girls vying for Miss Luo Yu?
It seems that this little girl Luo Yu's little mouth can please everyone.
Zhu Jinyou turned around and found Yan Xuan still not leaving, so he asked him: "What do you think of Miss Bai? Do you like her?"
"She's a very nice person. Of course I like her. Otherwise, why would I come to your Prince Ning's Mansion?"
Zhu Jinyou's eyes darkened, and his voice was low and cold: "What do you like about her? You are probably not even as old as her, right?"
"Yes, I do think she's like my sister, but she's different. I feel like she can do anything. Even when she was shot by an arrow, she still wanted to save our companions. Baihu and Gou Tuizi both like her because her feelings for everyone are sincere."
"She deceived everyone in your Imperial City Division. Could it be that your Yecheng Envoy didn't tell you anything?"
"That's true, but isn't it all thanks to Miss Bai that the people of Wangzhou City can live a normal life? Miss Bai is brave and resourceful, and has a calm and composed temperament. Although she's a bit aloof, she's truly a good girl."
"Oh, it seems like you've finally come to your senses emotionally?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I feel the same way about Miss Qin. Oh, and now Xia Cao is here. I also think she's very different from the other girls."
"..."
This guy, as long as the woman is very different from other women, he likes them...
"Uncle, you don't like Miss Bai too, do you?"
"What do you mean?"
Zhu Jinyou frowned. How could this boy see that he liked the kind of woman who was talkative and cunning?
"It's nothing special. I just think Miss Bai is quite interesting. Look at the things she draws. They are so imaginative and amazing. Young Master Murong liked her a lot before. By the way, why didn't Young Master Murong come with me to Jiangzhou?"
"Who is Master Murong?"
"..."
Yan Xuan knew he had been talking too much. Xia Cao had told him before not to talk too much...
Seeing that Yan Xuan was unwilling to say more, Zhu Jinyou was too lazy to ask any more questions. If he cared about Miss Bai's true identity in the past, why would he care about the affairs of other people around her now?
Is it because I dreamed about her before?
In her dream, she jumped off a cliff with the White Tiger and died. However, when Miss Luo asked him, "Do you think the White Tiger's existence is wrong?", he said something that chilled her heart, "Miss Bai, how did you know the White Tiger's movements? This all seems like a meticulous plan of yours."
Later, Miss Luo Yu gave him a weak smile, and then jumped into the abyss with the white tiger...
This dream seemed to be real.
He had almost forgotten everything else in the dream and only remembered this last fragment.
In the real event that happened later, Baihu also chose to jump off the cliff and die. At that time, he was still a little afraid that Miss Luo Qie would jump with him, so he stood beside her all the time, just thinking that if she really made any movement, he could hold her back.
Thinking about it now, he felt extremely ridiculous. Why would Miss Luo Yu jump off a cliff and die for a beast? Just because this white tiger had saved her before, she wanted to die to prove her loyalty?
This girl Luo Yu was truly an unsettling presence.
Zhu Jinyou would not give up easily until he understood everything and would find out the truth about her.
