The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 266

The pool water was reflected in Cui Hengyue's eyes, and the greenery stained her pupils, like emeralds that had been treasured for many years.

Chen Linshen was lost for a moment, but immediately came back to his senses after hearing Cui Hengyue's voice.

Cui Hengyue's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth: "It is indeed destined."

Hearing this, Chen Linshen laughed unknowingly, and heard Cui Hengyue say: "Do you want to know about my affairs at Yunxuan Temple?"

"Think." Chen Linshen blurted out.

Cui Hengyue shifted her gaze to the water surface of the Moon Pool, and said faintly: "As long as I can remember, I have been lighting a fire in the kitchen of the South Hall. This is my errand, and only when I finish the errand can I have food.

"It's not just me, everyone in the South Palace is like this. Before every meal, if you don't finish your errands, you will be hungry for that meal."

Chen Linshen was thinking about how old he was when he could remember things in his mind.

It seems to be... five years old.

Unexpectedly, when she was five years old, she was already burning a fire in the kitchen, it was so pitiful.

Chen Linshen suddenly felt a pang of distress. He thought of when he was five years old, he was able to read, read, and learn the six rituals. Although he felt pitiful at the time, compared to Cui Hengyue, who was hungry from time to time, he who was well-clothed and well-fed Much happier.

"The people under the king of Chu are very fierce. They will not let me do less work because I am young. If we make a slight mistake, they will insult us at least, and beat us with a whip.

"Also, they often add rules, let us obey, if we don't obey, we will be beaten"

While talking, Cui Hengyue mentioned King Chu, and Chen Linshen immediately put away his distress and listened carefully.

"Before my mother died of illness, I had never been to the North Hall, nor had I seen the King of Chu, but after my mother died, I was heartbroken and wanted to follow her, so I jumped off the cliff of the South Hall.

"However, Yun Chen saved me, and then the King of Chu probably saw that I was too pitiful, so he transferred me to be an errand in the North Palace, so I met the King of Chu."

Hearing this, Chen Linshen asked eagerly, "How is King Chu?"

Cui Hengyue looked at him suspiciously: "Didn't you go to Yunxuan Temple? King Chu is your uncle, you should be very clear about it."

Chen Linshen's expression froze, but he quickly thought of an excuse: "Although I am the nephew of the King of Chu, my uncle has had a bad temper since he fell ill, and he doesn't like to see people.

"I saw it last year, but I haven't seen it this year, so I wonder how his body is doing?"

Cui Hengyue showed an expression of sudden realization: "Well, I don't know exactly how the King of Chu was before, but I have seen him several times this year.

"The king of Chu is not in good health. I heard that when it rains, his legs hurt so badly. I once heard his cry of pain outside the palace.

"Ah, that sounds pitiful"

Cui Hengyue sighed, and continued: "I used to hear that the King of Chu was the God of War, and I thought he was a great hero.

"It was only after I met the King of Chu that I realized that the God of War was once glorious, but the current King of Chu is a useless person."

Chen Linshen listened carefully with his ears pricked up, lest he miss any useful news.

"Okay, I've told you everything I know, and the favor from Yunzhou City will be returned to you." Cui Hengyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Linshen was stunned, is this considered a favor?
"Miss Cui, I haven't asked you to pay back the favor? And I didn't say what I want. If you say this without telling me, it is too unkind to treat it as paying me back the favor?
"What's more, you just told me about your affairs in Yunxuan Temple, and you said it yourself. Compared with my favor for saving you in Yunzhou City, it's too insignificant."

Cui Hengyue put away her smile: "It was you who said you wanted to hear it just now, but now you are not satisfied with it, is Prince Changshan teasing me?
"Besides, I didn't ask you to save me back then. You saved me yourself. I owed favors passively."

So, now he is going to passively accept her favor?
Chen Linshen didn't know whether to be angry or praise her for repaying his favor so easily.

However, knowing the situation of the King of Chu from her mouth, it is a good reward to be able to do business in front of his father after returning.

After Chen Linshen figured it out, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's treat it as you repaying the favor from Yunzhou City, but when I returned to Beijing, I saved your life again outside the city."

"Don't forget, I also saved you back then." Cui Hengyue reminded him.

Chen Linshen was choked up for a moment: "Well, before you go back to the mansion, I will help you publicize your identity, say in public that you are my savior, and personally send you back to the Yasukuni mansion.

"I did all this so that you can return to the Yasukuni Mansion safely, so that those people with ulterior motives will not dare to touch you.

"You have to pay back this favor, right?"

Cui Hengyue said expressionlessly: "I didn't ask you to do this, all of this is your own initiative, do you want me to pay back the favor you offered?
"Then everyone will be like you from now on, why don't I be too busy to return the favor?"

Seeing that Chen Linshen was choked and speechless, Cui Hengyue snorted again: "Besides, I have a plan in mind for returning to the mansion, those people with ulterior motives can't hurt me.

"I don't blame you for disrupting my plan, but you still dare to ask me for favors?"

Chen Linshen: "."

A burst of anger suddenly rose in his heart, Chen Linshen stared at Cui Hengyue firmly, and said coolly: "You say that, just now I helped you find out Lu'er's favor, and you won't recognize it?"

Cui Hengyue's tone was cold: "I don't recognize it."

"Good, good, good."

Chen Linshen said three "good" words in a row, and the words almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "Forget me to be affectionate, from now on, I will never help you again."

After speaking, he walked away.

"Hmph, good intentions are like the liver and lungs of a donkey, but a dog bites Lu Dongbin, so you don't know a good heart."

Chen Linshen's cursing words reached Cui Hengyue's ears, and she couldn't help but sneer.

Huh, kindness?
He obviously had ulterior motives, but he really regarded her as a fool, thinking that if he helped her a few times, she would be grateful to him and trust him without reservation.

Seeing Chen Linshen approaching angrily, Song Mu couldn't help but went up to meet him and asked, "Jun Wang, what's wrong with you? Did Miss Cui make you angry?"

"Don't mention her to me, cunning brat."

Chen Linshen was still angry, and blurted out decisive words: "Hmph, even if she dies in front of me in the future, I will not save her."

Pine: "."

What did Miss Cui do to make the county king so angry?
Shui Fu and Shui Rong didn't understand either, they looked at Cui Hengyue suspiciously: "Yuanniang, what did you say to Changshan County King to make him so angry?"

"Oh, I just told him that I didn't ask him to catch Lu'er, and I wouldn't return this favor, and then he left." Cui Hengyue said lightly.

Hearing this, Shui Fu jumped up angrily: "Yuanniang, how can you say that?
"The king of Changshan County is the son of the regent king. No matter how many people want to talk to him, they are not qualified. If you have the opportunity to owe him favors, you should cherish it and take this opportunity to build a relationship with him. People in Cui's mansion will not dare How about you.

"Did you forget that you can return to the mansion safely, thanks to the Changshan County King's contribution?"

Shui Rong hated her for not fighting: "Yuanniang, you just offended the queen mother, and now you offended the king of Changshan County, you will hurt yourself by doing this."

Seeing them talking to each other, Cui Hengyue was very calm, until they stopped, she said lightly: "I know my affairs well."
