The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 358 The Carefree King

Inside the Duke of Anguo's mansion, a man with a gloomy expression sat on a wooden four-wheeled cart.

Beside him, a maid was nervously preparing tea. In the process of changing the water, she accidentally spilled some hot water onto the table.

The fair, delicate fingers instantly turned red.

The maidservant, ignoring her pain, immediately went to the man, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed frantically.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Man: "Drag him away."

A guard immediately came out, covered the maid's mouth, and dragged her out.

"Qin Yuanshou, you've gone too far by treating human life like this!" A girl of about ten years old shouted angrily at the man.

She was already young, but her face already showed what a beautiful woman she would become in the future.

At this moment, anger caused mist to well up in his pearly eyes.

It added to her charm.

This person was none other than Xu Linglong.

The name she called out belonged to the carefree king.

Because she had offered up the divine water some time ago, which restored some feeling to Qin Yuanshou's legs, who had been paralyzed since childhood, her position in the Duke of Anguo's mansion became somewhat delicate.

It's at least much higher than that Miss Xie, whose whereabouts are now unknown.

"How dare you! How dare you address the Prince by his name!" A guard stepped forward, drew his sword from his waist, and tried to intimidate Xu Linglong.

"Your Highness, is this how you treat your savior?" Xu Linglong frowned at Prince Xiaoyao, looking very unhappy.

The Carefree King: "Step back."

The guard reluctantly took a step back.

Xu Linglong secretly raised her chin at him, looking like she had won.

Then she looked at the Carefree King and said, "That sister only spilled a little tea, why are you going to kill her? Don't think that just because you're the Carefree King, you can take other people's lives so easily."

After saying this, Xu Linglong secretly gave herself a thumbs up in her heart. She knew that by saying this, the Carefree Prince would think she was a kind and generous person.

After all, in the eyes of royalty and nobility, the lives of servants were no different from those of animals.

Especially for servants who have signed a death contract, their masters have the right to punish them if they make a mistake.

The laws of the Great Chang Kingdom stipulate that servants must not be bullied at will, but this only applies to ordinary people.

If a wealthy family wanted to punish a servant, they would naturally find all sorts of excuses, and when they did punish him, they would only say that it was a minor punishment to serve as a warning.

As for whether the person died accidentally or was crippled after the punishment, it's not the master's fault. What if the person was simply in poor health?

There's so much room for maneuver here.

In her previous life, Xu Linglong was not a very kind person. Especially in her previous life, she lived such a miserable life. If she didn't find something to vent, how could she relieve the bitterness in her heart?
Therefore, although the number of servants who died at Xu Linglong's hands was not large, it was not insignificant either.

The Carefree Prince: "Then what do you think should be done to punish her?"

Xu Linglong was overjoyed upon hearing this; it seemed that the Carefree King was indeed attracted by her personal charm!

So he said hesitantly, "That lady is just a little clumsy; she can practice more in private."

"That makes sense." The Carefree King nodded and said no more.

Knowing when to stop, Xu Linglong quickly offered him a bottle of water, praised the carefree king, and then happily withdrew.

She's only 11 years old now, it's too early for her to try and seduce the Prince of Leisure. However, as long as the Prince of Leisure has a place for her in his heart, it won't matter if she waits a few more years.

Anyway, the carefree prince is not married yet, and who would marry a cripple?
She just needs to control the Prince of Xiaoyao's legs for a few years until he recovers, at which point he can marry her.

To achieve this goal, Xu Linglong mixed some ordinary water into the divine water given to the Carefree King.

Xu Linglong left happily, unaware that after she left, the Carefree King didn't even glance at the bottle of water.

"Take it and throw it away."

"Yes." The guard stepped forward, skillfully picked up the bottle, opened it, and poured the water into the potted plant next to him.
