In the living room of the outer courtyard, Prince Xu sat firmly on the chair in the center . At this time, the sun was shining brightly . The bluestone floor that had just been cleaned in the morning glowed with soft light, which was projected on Prince Xuâs emerald white silver thread robe . âThere was a silvery-white faint glow on the whole body, so people couldnât open their eyes, and even more, he set off hisâ luxurious expression .
He looked so confident with a cold smile on his face, and he seemed to completely treat housekeeper Yu standing beside him like air .
â...Prince, please forgive us . It is really inconvenient for Mrs . Fu to see guests...â
Althoughâ housekeeper Yuâ said that, Prince Xu acted as if it was just windâ passing overâ hisâ ear .
âOh? Then what you mean isâ today Iâ came here toâ wasting timeâ andâ Iâ haveâ toâ letâ go ofâ myâ horse?ââ Princeâ Xu held the teacup and blew the tea leaves floating on the hot water leisurely, âOr are General Yuâs military achievements are getting bigger andâ even the Yuâ familyâ can treat meâ badly likeâ that?!â
Housekeeper Yu immediately bowed his head and dared not speak again .
Although this Princeâ Xu didnât haveâ anything special withâ Yu home, he was notorious in capitalâs influential officials surrounding, not because of how violent he was, but because of how he behaved unexpectedly and never made sense . When he is in a goodâ mood, everything is ok and ifâ heâ isâ inâ a bad mood, even an egg can make youâ dig upâ yourâ bone .
Whatâs even more frustrating is that he is to be respected, just because he is the adorable 9th Princeâ of the current emperor . â This just decides one thing: if he provokes you, you have to be forced toâ suffer inâ silence, but if you provoke him, you just setâ the horseâs house on fire .
All nine sons ofâ theâ emperorâ wereâ different . â As the youngest Prince, Prince Xu surly behaved as he pleased . No matter who provoked him, that person would have a headache for a long time .
Housekeeper Yu looked at the mischievous prince on the chair, hesitating to speak or not, anxiously like the ants on the hot pot .
At this time, a cold voice rang fromâ theâ outside of the hall: âI didnât knowâ âabout theâ honorary presence ofâ Princeâ Xu, whatâs the matter?â
Hearing the voice of his savior, he hopefully raised his head . Finally Master came out toâ meet theâ Prince, and he could now rest .
But in the next moment, he was fixed on the spot as heâ wasâ hitâ byâ a lightning strike, and now he couldnât even speak .
He only sawâ Yuâ Linglongâ inâ aâ red dress standing atâ theâ door under theâ sunlight, and looking directly at Princeâ Xuâ onâ theâ chairâ withâ aâ coldâ look .
Wasnât it theâ path toâ theâ enemy? Everyoneâ closed theirâ doors, but this 4th miss stillâ daredâ toâ come out!?
Heâ saw Princeâ Xuâ smiled slightly and put down the teacup in his hand: âIt turned out to be the fourth miss of the Yu family . I thought I met a female thief last night!â
Did he just say that he was aâ female thief? Yuâ Linglongâ sneered slightly . Do you want to fight? Letâs seeâ whoâ willâ win!
ââPrince, you are overpraising me . My skills are not goodâ enough as you, riding a horse while drunk inâ theâ lateâ night!â Yuâ Linglongâ opposed back . â âDisturb everything, everyone, I wonder is that what theâ Princeâ wishes âfor?â
âOkay, you are really is the daughter ofâ the tiger father!â Princeâ Xuâ suddenly opened theâ folded fanâ inâ hisâ hand, and on the fan, there wasâ aâ panoramicâ landscape painting withâ fine ink, which added one more layer ofâ nobility forâ him . And since he wasâ also a refined noble, he didnât want to lose theâ elegant vibe .
âMy life isâ good, thereâs nothing more than aesthetic wineâ andâ a fineâ horse . â Now, you took away my horse, so how should I deal withâ thisâ crime?â
The man in the seat seemed to be laughing, but a pair of his eyesâ kept staring at Yu Linglong â his eyes examining and displaying impatience .
This girl, even after knowing his identity, still dared to stand inâ frontâ ofâ him proudly like an arrogantâ unique lotus . She really was impressive .
Yu Linglong sneered, raising her little chin without fear: âThen I dare to ask the prince: byâ riding a horse in the middle of the night, disturbing the civilians, and disturbing the passers-by for no reason, how will you name thisâ crime!?â
If youâ areâ a needle, then I am the awn . Letâs see whoâs harder, and whoâs afraid of who!?
The housekeeper byâ theâ side was shocked to hear that andâ was so frightened that he fell on his knees and stuttered: âPrince, Prince Xu, our 4th miss arrived at the house only aâ few daysâ ago, she doesnât understand the rules, and I beg the Prince toâ forgive... â
In the livingâ room, two tit-for-tat people didnât even look at him at all . Their eyes met volley, one with slight inquiry and surprise, one unrelenting and untamed like a galloping wild horse in the vast grassland . Fire sparks almost appeared in the air .
At this critical moment, a very weak sound came over, breaking the tension in the room .
âThe Prince has arrived . I am late, and I hope the Prince would forgive me . â
Prince Xu snorted slowly and he slowly looked away . His eyes fell on the person who had just come in .
He saw Mu Shi with the supporting maid walking out tremblingly . The thick fat powder still couldnât cover the bruise marks on her face . Her footsteps were a little bigger and she couldnât help the twitching of the corner of her eye, which was obviously painful and unbearable .
There was a trace of surprise in Prince Xuâs eyes, and he quickly glanced at Yu Linglong .
Heâ felt that the reason why Mu Shi became likeâ that was related to the girl in front of him .
Mu Shi gritted her teeth and endured the pain, saluted Prince Xu, and tried to squeeze out a reluctant smile, saying, âMay I know what is the reason for your visit?â
Princeâ Xu smiled slightly, leaning leisurely on the back of the chair, and it seemed to restore the image of the usual royal prince . He said casually: âDonât pretend . If you are really respectful to me, you will not leave me here forâ aâ longâ time . â
Mu Shi tried hardâ toâ come outâ andâ meet theâ guest, and after hearing Prince Xuâs words which regarded her as disrespected, this made her speechless andâ sheâ couldnât evenâ say aâ word .
She could no longer support her aching body . She fell onto her knees on the ground and cried, âEven if I had ten thousand courage in my body, I would not dare to disrespect the Prince . I ask the Prince to understand that Iâ amâ sick and forgive me!â
Yu Linglong looked at Mu Shiâs tears and begging, and she looked away in disgust .
Was this the same Madam Yu who was the oneâ urged her the night before? She was so cruel and vicious to the girl, but so humiliating to the Prince of a wine bag . It really was a model of bullying and fear .
Prince Xu glanced at Mu Shi, but his gaze fell on Yu Linglong who kept her head upright .
Mu Shi said she was sick? How ridiculous . Everyoneâ could tell withâ a glance that she was hurt!
But how could a lady in a deep house compound be so seriously injured? Looking at theâ Yuâ Linglongâ byâ the side, even a fool could also guess the clue .
Prince Xu swayed his fan leisurely and stayed like a gentleman, but his tone slightly changed: âCome on, get up, if other people see this, they will think I amâ bullying anâ old, weak, ill madam!ââ
Muâ Shi secretly stated inâ her mind, âWhat other people, currently, in the Yu home, there is no master . Heâ obviously came toâ bully this weak, old, ill woman . â
Thinking this way in her heart, she dare not toâ say so out loud . Mu Shi lowered her eyes, slowly stood up, and asked respectfully: âThe Prince arrived in person, may I know why?â
Princeâ Xuâ looked at Yu Linglong with a smile: âIn this case, Madam, ask your 4th miss!â
