Xiao Yi walked towards Miss Qing's Huancui Pavilion with resentment, wondering in his mind whether he should tell Miss Qing what he saw today. If he told her, she would be upset. If he didn't tell her, she would think that he had drunk her soup, and she would be happy for nothing and have given rise to hope for nothing.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he arrived at Huancui Pavilion. Miss Qing heard the door open and knew it was Xiaoyi who came back. She hurried out to greet him: "Why did you take so long today?" She had thought about this question many times before. The hope and dream that was burning in her heart was that this time the master would finally drink the soup she had stewed.

Xiao Yi hummed but didn't say anything. Seeing that she looked unhappy, he thought it was the same as before. Without waiting for Xiao Yi to speak, he opened the food box himself. Sure enough, the soup bowl was empty. He was so happy in his heart that his face turned red all of a sudden. He just drank the soup, but it felt like he was standing naked in front of his master.

"I'm glad to see you," Miss Qing couldn't hide her joy.

"Hmm." Xiao Yi didn't want to lie, but he didn't know how to tell his daughter everything he saw. He could only say "hmm" vaguely and packed up to leave the house.

Miss Qing was wondering, could it be that the prince had taken Xiaoyi as his concubine? If she had known that the prince would be like this today, she should have gone there in person. However, alas...

The master had ordered that the concubines in the mansion were not allowed to appear in front of him, otherwise they would be either beaten to death or sold off. There were four concubines and three maids in the mansion, and none of them dared to disobey.

I had the courage to ask the maid to bring me soup every day, but I never expected that the master would actually drink it today. Thinking about it now, I really regret it.

Fortunately, Xiaoyi is a maid in my house, and my master will at least take care of my face. Thinking of this, I felt happy again, and finally I was one step closer.

When the Queen sent them here, she repeatedly reminded them that all movements in the palace must be reported truthfully to Fengxiang Palace. Neither she nor Miss Jing had even seen the Master in three years, and they were worse off than the maids who could see him from time to time.

She is not stupid. Since she is my woman and has bet the rest of her life on me, how could she do something to hurt her man?

He sighed in his heart, but thinking about Miss Ling and Miss Xian sent by the Empress Dowager, it has been five years and they have never even seen my master. And the three concubines sent by the Emperor, whose status is supposed to be higher than that of the concubines, my master has never seen any of them either. They are all living like widows in the backyard.

As long as I'm not the one who suffers the most, I'll feel much better. Now that my grandfather has adopted Xiaoyi, I should be able to make a name for myself soon. It seems I have to give Xiaoyi a lesson, but in the end I've become Xiaoyi's favorite, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

But what if it's uncomfortable? It's better than waiting like this endlessly. A maid born as a singing and dancing girl is just a plaything, and it depends on whether the man likes you. If not, you are not even a plaything, worse than a maid, just like a cat or a dog.

Women are the most peculiar creatures in the world. They are only 0.01% more evolved than men, but their senses are 100 points more sensitive than men. Even so many guards around Liu Jingcheng could not recognize Hua Xiyu's men's clothing, but Xiao Yi saw through it at a glance without any hesitation.

Hua Xiyu was full and tired after a day of sleepiness. The question of where to stay tonight was before her. It seemed that everyone had forgotten about her. It was fine that no one invited her to dinner, but no one even arranged a place for her to stay. Fortunately, Hua Xiyu didn't care. If no one arranged a place, she could just go and ask. Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?

Liu Jingcheng was thinking about something at the moment, wondering how the situation would end when the real eldest daughter of the Hua family suddenly showed up, how credible Chunliu's words were, and whether the three moles on the soles of his feet were coincidences or real.

Perhaps, she is really the eldest daughter of the Washington Palace. It is unknown what kind of adventure she had after being thrown away. In any case, now that she has entered the palace, she will be hidden first, and a suitable opportunity will be found to let her return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be married.

Thinking this way, he was lost in thought. When he saw Hua Xiyu talking to him, he suddenly came back to his senses: "What did you say?"

"I say, is this your room?" Hua Xiyu asked several times. He was very sleepy and wanted to sleep. He wished he could fall on the bed immediately.

Liu Jingcheng did not respond to her and said to Yiqi: "Call Steward Lin."

Then she ordered Caiping and Kou'er to take Hua Xiyu away. Did she want to sleep with him? He didn't mind, but if it got out in the future, it would be bad for her reputation.

Hua Xiyu chatted with the two maids as they walked. Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it and get to know the situation first.

"Little sister, what is your prince's name? Do you two know?" Hua Xiyu felt like a real failure. Until now, he hadn't even found out his name.

"How can a servant like you find out the master's name?" Caiping said disdainfully. Kou'er also nodded, but Hua Xiyu didn't see it.

"So is your prince a fierce person? Is he easy to get along with?" She chatted casually in the dim light and couldn't see the expressions of the two children.

"Our prince is a good person, especially when he is in a good mood. Especially after having two young masters, the prince is even better," Kou'er replied, but in her heart she thought that this man was really ignorant. She might not be able to see the prince for a while, so why was he asking about these things?

"So is he more likely to be in a good mood or a bad mood?"

"We don't know," the two maids answered in unison. They would never tell him.

"Hey, it's nothing. I'm here to work in your palace. It's only natural for me to understand the boss's preferences."

Liu Jingcheng followed all the way, listening to their conversation. He saw Yiqi coming over from a distance. It would be very embarrassing to be caught by someone eavesdropping on the maid's conversation. So he stepped out and shouted, "Who gave you the courage to talk about the master behind his back?" His eyes were sinister and his tone was cold.

Caiping and Kou'er were so frightened that they both knelt on the spot, trembling all over, not daring to say a word. They were used to seeing the prince's face like this.

"Hey, what are you doing? Look how scared you are of the two kids." Hua Xiyu pushed him away and went to help the two little girls.

Caiping and Kou'er didn't dare to get up. They were already frightened by Grandpa's yelling, and then they saw Hua Xiyu pushing Grandpa. They were afraid that they would be beaten to death. They were shaking like sieves and didn't even dare to cry. It was obvious that they were scared to death.

"Someone, sell these two maids out. No servants are allowed to talk about their master in this mansion." Hearing the noise, Lian Niang ran out from somewhere and quickly protected the two maids. She was afraid that Liu Jingcheng would beat the two children to death in a rage.

The two little girls had tears rolling down their cheeks and their bodies collapsed on the ground, they even forgot to beg for mercy. Where else could they be sold to be as well off as the prince's mansion? They didn't want to leave the mansion at all. The maids in the mansion were more majestic than ordinary girls when they went out, not to mention that they were the maids who served the prince, and it was tacitly agreed that they would be the ones in the prince's room in the future. Now they were just waiting for the princess to come in.

Liu Jingcheng looked at the two frightened little girls coldly, and did not feel guilty for deliberately finding fault. There were dozens or hundreds of people in this mansion, but the masters were only the three of them, father and son. He never cared much about things. The front yard was taken care of by housekeeper Lin, and the backyard was entirely handed over to Lian Niang, the biological mother of A Tu and A Shui, so he was very relieved.

Seeing Lian Niang protecting the two maids, I felt relieved.

"You, you are actually this kind of person, you want to sell them, right? Then I'll buy them, I'll buy them both, okay?" Hua Xiyu was so furious, it was just a chat, just asking some small questions, is it necessary to be like this? Who doesn't gossip in life? How do people without gossip live?

"You want to buy it? Do you have money?" Liu Jingcheng asked aggressively.

"I don't worry about the debts. I already owe them anyway, so what if I owe a little more?" She smiled brightly. It was a bad start. She owed a lot of debts after just a few days in Nanyue. "Tell me, how much silver do you want from them? I'll owe it all."

"They came to your house when they were six years old. Now one is thirteen and the other fourteen. If you calculate their food, clothing and expenses over the years, 6 taels of silver per person is not too much, so 1000 taels of silver for two of them," Liu Jingcheng smiled cunningly.

He had never seen a woman who had no money but was not afraid of owing debts or having no worries about paying them back. It showed that she had no concept of money. However, he just liked to see her being helpless and refusing to admit defeat with a proud look on her face.

"Only 1000 taels, isn't it too little? There are two of us, not cats or dogs. However, I have no money now, plus the 20 taels I owe you just now, the total is only 2020 taels. You can just add another amount to the IOU I just gave you, and I will pay you back when we earn money together. Oh, by the way, now the three of us will earn money together to pay you back." Hua Xiyu said angrily, but he was slightly delighted in his heart, thinking that he was going to say an astronomical figure, but he didn't expect it to be only 1000 yuan per person, which was really generous.

"You two heard it, why don't you leave?" Liu Jingcheng shouted.

Lian Niang hurried to help the two maids. The two maids had no idea what was going on. They only knew that the prince was about to drive them away, but now he didn't want to drive them away. So they followed Lian Niang and ran away.

Yiqi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help laughing, so he quickly followed. Only when he got to the yard did he let go of his hands that were covering his mouth and laughed quietly.

"Including what Muduo Town owes, the total is 2536 taels. You can leave after the debt is paid off," Liu Jingcheng said coldly.

"Muduo Town doesn't owe you anything." Hua Xiyu glared at him with disdain.

"In the palace, everything belongs to the prince," Liu Jingcheng said seriously with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll pay it back. It's just 2536 taels of silver, no big deal." Hua Xiyu raised his head, as proud as a peacock, and was about to leave, but he didn't know where to go. Remembering that he still had some things in the West Flower Hall, he went straight to the West Flower Hall.

Liu Jingcheng tried to hold back his laughter, and it seemed like he was holding it back in great pain, so much so that the tone of his voice when he called out Yiqi was a little off. The woman raised her head proudly, and it was so beautiful that he was actually a little dazed. In order to hide his embarrassment, he hurried to the West Flower Hall.

Yiqi, who was standing next to him, quickly adjusted his expression, responded and went to find Butler Lin.
