Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan
Chapter 129 The Charming and Gentle Prince and His Substitute Beauty Wife (Part 1)
Just as the two locked eyes, Qiao'er walked in from the side room with a smile, carrying a fruit platter filled with fresh mulberries:
"The mulberry trees in Zhang Ma's yard next door have just borne fruit. Zhang Ma said the fruit is especially sweet this year, so I specially asked her for some for Miss. There are still quite a few left, young master, why don't you come and have a taste!"
When Qiao'er looked up and saw Xiao Xiao standing in the courtyard, she was so frightened that she froze on the spot, and the fruit plate slipped from her hands, with black mulberries rolling all over the ground.
"Husband—Madam!"
Xiao Xiao looked at Qiao'er, whose face was pale, and could tell that she was quite frightened.
Hearing the commotion, Granny Xu rushed in and saw mulberries scattered all over the ground. She frowned and said to Qiao'er, "You, you're always so clumsy! Miss just fell asleep. If you wake that little darling up, you'll be in big trouble!"
Although it was a accusation, it sounded like the speaker was genuinely concerned for Qiao'er's well-being, which made people feel comfortable.
Xu Mama smiled apologetically at Xiaoxiao and said, "This girl is a bit rough around the edges, but she has a very good temperament. Please forgive her, Madam!"
"It's alright!" Xiao Xiao glanced at Qiao'er, her deep, unfathomable eyes revealing no change in her heart.
Granny Xu shrank back. This lady didn't seem as kind as the master had described; on the contrary, she seemed rather frightening.
Granny Xu hurriedly urged Qiao'er to finish tidying up before leaving. Before leaving, Qiao'er glanced at Li Zixuan.
Xiao Xiao seemed to remember this clever girl!
Qiao'er was Li Zixuan's personal maid, but in reality, she was Qin Shi's concubine assigned to Li Zixuan.
This Qiao'er has caused the original owner no shortage of trouble. Just like now, she's the only one still calling Li Zixuan "Young Master," while everyone else in the courtyard calls him "Master."
Xiao Xiao is not as insecure as the original owner. The original owner was very cautious in everything she did because of her lowly status and her love for her husband, fearing that she would cause him any inconvenience.
Even this little girl can ride roughshod over him. If it were in the past, when Qiao'er was so openly looking at Li Zixuan, the original owner would have just swallowed her anger.
Moreover, Xiao Xiao doesn't care about Li Zixuan's every move as much as the original owner does now, so she can naturally see that Qiao'er's eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Li Zixuan.
But at this time, Qiao'er clearly didn't know the original owner, and it was their first time meeting.
Xiao Xiao watched Qiao'er's departing figure and asked, "Why is Qiao'er so afraid of me?"
Li Zixuan also looked in the direction Qiao'er had left, frowned, and said with obvious displeasure, "Why bring her up?"
"I just felt that she was a bit strange."
"Stay here tonight!" Li Zixuan's tone wasn't a question, but a statement of certainty.
"Why?" Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.
"Xiaoxiao misses you!" After clearing away the dishes, Li Zixuan went to the wooden tub to wash them. Her long, slender fingers moved skillfully between the bowls.
In the original text, Li Zixuan wouldn't do these things; someone would always do them for him.
"you--"
Xiao Xiao looked at Li Zixuan, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Li Zixuan understood Xiaoxiao's meaning and continued washing the dishes, saying, "My family was poor before, and I got used to doing these things. Later, I didn't like looking at them anymore." It seemed he was explaining why he didn't do these things in his previous life, and then he didn't say anything more.
He's still as sparing with words as ever.
"I can't stay here tonight!" Xiaoxiao refused decisively.
Li Zixuan paused in his washing of the dishes, but then resumed his normal actions in an instant.
Xiao Xiao thought about how her decisiveness seemed unlike the original owner of the body, and then added, "If Xiao Xiao really misses me, then send her to my place. I'll stay with her for a few days and then send her back."
"Okay!" Li Zixuan lowered his head and continued with his work.
"Then I'm leaving!" Xiao Xiao left the courtyard without looking back.
After Xiaoxiao left, Li Zixuan stopped washing the dishes and stared blankly at the wooden tub.
Granny Xu came out from the inner room and saw Li Zixuan standing by the wooden tub with his sleeves rolled up, staring blankly at it. She assumed he didn't know what to do.
He quickly stepped forward and kindly advised, "Sir, I'm used to doing these things, you don't need to help. You should go back to your room and deal with your business!"
Li Zixuan was pushed into the inner room by Granny Xu.
This is the second time Xiaoxiao has rejected him in this life.
Xiao Xiao strode forward, not daring to look back. She could feel the original owner's remaining consciousness frantically clamoring for her to give in.
Li Zixuan seems to be good at manipulating people's hearts. He can always accurately find the soft spots in people's hearts and then hold on to them tightly.
That's why Li Zixuan was able to rise from a minor official to the powerful prime minister.
This is his usual trick. He can always accurately find the original owner's weakness and then try to strike hard, leaving the person with no way to retreat!
Now, Xiao Xiao is not the original owner of this body. She is no longer the helpless and narrow-minded scholar's daughter, Wen Shi, but a modern woman with self-awareness.
She can be his equal, no longer dependent on him. Xiao Xiao will not be a woman who only secretly wipes away tears. There are still many things she wants to do, and no one can stop her, including Li Zixuan!
"Yaoyao, do you mean Han Chaoning is drinking around here?"
[Yaoyao: It's Zhizhailou, not far away.]
Sure enough, Xiaoxiao accidentally bumped into a solid chest at the corner. She rubbed her slightly dizzy head and looked up to see a face that blended ethereal and demonic qualities, with phoenix eyes and starry gaze.
Han Chaoning looked at the little person in her arms, a pale face, frighteningly white, glistening with tears in the dim light of the night. "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao buried herself in Han Chaoning's arms, her voice muffled, "I ran into Li Zixuan..."
Han Chaoning gently held the little person curled up in her arms, patted Xiaoxiao's back, and comforted her softly, "If you want to cry, just cry it out. Holding it in will make you sick."
Who can get over a relationship completely intact after encountering an ex?
Let alone such a fragile little person?
Han Chaoning simply stayed quietly by Xiaoxiao's side until she finished crying and was exhausted. Then he cupped Xiaoxiao's little face in his hands and said with a slightly sarcastic smile, "If you cry any more, you'll turn into a little kitten!"
Xiao Xiao was teased by Han Chaoning, and the tears she had been holding back almost broke down, so she had to stop crying abruptly.
Han Chaoning felt relieved to see that Xiaoxiao had stopped crying, as he couldn't stand seeing women cry!
He doesn't know what to do when a woman starts crying.
Han Chaoning awkwardly wiped away Xiaoxiao's tears and said, "Xiaoxiao, do you want to eat candied hawthorn?"
Xiao Xiao chuckled, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? You think you can make me happy with just a candied hawthorn?"
Han Chaoning frowned and said, "What I've read in storybooks before is that girls like to eat sweets, and they'll be happy as long as they eat something sweet!"
Why is it that it doesn't work with my own wife?
"Did His Highness learn all those tricks for coaxing girls from storybooks?" Xiao Xiao didn't think that a seasoned lover wouldn't know how to make a girl happy.
Han Chaoning quickly explained, "Heaven and earth bear witness, Xiaoxiao, I have never coaxed any other girl besides you!"
Han Chaoning was heartbroken! He was just playing along, and besides, it was always the women who were eager to be intimate with him. This was the first time he had ever coaxed a girl like this!
How is he going to explain it?
But it seems the more I explain, the less clear it becomes.
Xiao Xiao looked at Han Chaoning with an innocent expression, like a wounded little fox staring at you with its big, watery eyes. How pitiful!
Acting cute is shameful!
Han Chaoning actually resorted to this tactic.
Xiao Xiao suddenly wondered if Han Chaoning had used this trick on others as well.
Men really are all liars!
Xiao Xiao gave Han Chaoning a disgruntled look and walked straight ahead.
Han Chaoning watched Xiaoxiao leave on her own, tears welling up in her eyes. Fearing something might happen to her, she quickly followed after her.
Yu Zhu, who was hiding in the shadows, laughed gleefully.
It's true what they say, one thing can subdue another. I never imagined that his unreliable master could have such a face.
Suddenly, the door opened, interrupting Yu Zhu's reverie.
The back gate of the courtyard where Li Zixuan was located was opened, and a furtive figure came out of the courtyard and walked in the southeast direction.
Yu Zhu didn't have time to think much before following after them.
