Chapter 144
Before Xue Youling finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhuo Tianxin, "You don't need to say more! Even if this thing is his important thing, as a young lady of the Zhuo Palace, am I not qualified to hand it over?!"

Xue Youling was taken aback for a moment, she never expected that things would develop like this!
She was extremely annoyed in her heart, but she didn't dare to explode, and said with an apologetic smile: "Miss Zhuo taught me a lesson, it was You Ling who was rude, and You Ling apologizes to you here. I hope Miss Zhuo Haihan."

Seeing that Xue Youling had a good attitude, Zhuo Tianxin relaxed a little.

"Okay, let's present the things!"

"It's better to wait for Mr. Zhuo to arrive, and then hand it over to him." Xue Youling said cautiously, wondering why Zhuo Mingxuan didn't come yet.

"I think you're just playing with me!"

"No! No! That's not what I mean!" Xue Youling blushed with anxiety, she hated the unruly and willful woman in front of her to death, and said bravely: "Mr. I will take my leave first and come to visit another day."

"and many more!"

Xue Youling turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhuo Tianxin.

"Are you deliberately not wanting to give the things to me?" Zhuo Tianxin asked angrily.

Xue Youling sighed helplessly, she knew that the woman in front of her was determined to want the jade pendant in her hand, so she could only say: "That's not what I mean, but I really have no choice, if I take something from you Give it to someone else. I’m afraid the young master will blame me.”

"There's no need to make so many excuses!" Zhuo Tianxin interrupted.

"Are you going to force me to take out the things!?" Xue Youling couldn't bear it anymore and said, "How can the people in Zhuowang's Mansion bully others like this?!"

Zhuo Tianxin's face changed, and his voice suddenly raised a few degrees, "Come here, give me a slap!"

The maid at the side heard Zhuo Tianxin's order, and immediately came forward, making a gesture to give Xue Youling two slaps, Xue Youling was anxious, and said in a panic: "Wait! I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over to you now!"

Xue Youling took a deep breath, ready to take out the jade pendant wrapped in silk from her bosom.

She was very unwilling in her heart, but she also knew that if she offended Zhuo Tianxin, there would be no good fruit to eat.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, "Tian Xin, what happened?"

Although the voice was delicate, it was full of arrogance. Hearing these words, the hearts of the people in the room were shocked, and they hurriedly turned their heads to look at the door, only to see Helianbi in a fine attire, stepping into the courtyard.

"I've seen Princess Bi."

Everyone hastily bowed their knees to salute, and said respectfully.

Seeing this, Xue Youling realized that the woman in front of her was the rumored beautiful side concubine Zhuo Wang, so she hurriedly bowed cautiously.

He Lianbi glanced at Xue Youling, and said indifferently: "Miss Xue, why are you here?"

Xue Youling's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, her face instantly turned pale, her tricks were not enough for Zhuo Tianxin, how could she have the courage to fool such a big man?

She clenched her fingers uneasily, and said with a trembling voice: "Returning to Princess Bi, You Ling is here specially to deliver something to Mr. Zhuo."

"Oh, something to send? What is it?" He Lianbi asked curiously, the sternness in his eyes was evident.

Xue Youling raised her head and looked into Helianbi's eyes, feeling her whole body was icy cold, and she replied calmly, "Youling just remembered, that thing seems to have left at home."

"She clearly brought that thing!" Zhuotian said anxiously.

After finishing speaking, Xue Youling hurriedly turned around and walked towards the door, with hurried steps, looking a little embarrassed.

"stop!"

He Lianbi's voice came from behind, Xue Youling's body trembled violently, she turned her head hastily, and asked with fear on her face, "What other orders does Princess Bi have?"

"Since you came here specially, why did you come empty-handed?" He Lianbi said with a smile, the cold light in her eyes made Xue Youling shudder.

Xue Youling wanted to slap herself a few times in her heart, she was so stupid, how could she come up with such a ridiculous excuse? !
Xue Youling felt extremely regretful, but when things had come to an end, she had no choice but to say: "My little girl really forgot to bring it, and I feel a little unwell today, so I'll bring it to your door another day."

"Not feeling well? I don't know where the discomfort is?" He Lianbi asked with a smile, but her tone became more and more cold.

"I, I." Xue Youling couldn't speak.

"Come here, take care of Ms. Xue and find out what's wrong with her!"

He Lianbi instructed the maid to say.

"Yes, Concubine Bi!" The two maidservants agreed, stepped forward to support Xue Youling, and dragged her into the house.

Seeing this, Xue Youling was extremely flustered. She hurriedly broke free from the maidservant's support, fell to the ground, and cried, "I'm not sick, I'm not sick! I'm just not feeling well!"

He Lianbi looked down at Xue Youling condescendingly, and said sarcastically: "If you feel unwell, you have to say it, why cover it up?! Hurry up and take care of Miss Xue!"

"Yes! Concubine Bi!" The two maidservants took orders, forcibly pushed Xue Youling to the ground, and dragged her towards the house.

"Ah! Help!" Xue Youling struggled with all her strength, but the hands of the two maidservants were too strong, Xue Youling couldn't break free no matter what.

She looked at Zhuo Tianxin in panic, only hoping that she would come forward to save herself in time.

Zhuo Tianxin didn't even look at her.

"Let go of me! You untouchables, let me go!" Xue Youling yelled sharply, until the door slammed shut, and her muffled cry came.

Seeing this, He Lianbi was a little disgusted, then turned around and walked towards Zhuo Tianxin, and asked with concern: "Tianxin, where did Miss Xue offend you and make you so angry?"

Zhuo Tianxin did not speak, but silently lowered his head.

Of course she would not tell Helian Bi what she wanted in her heart.

Seeing this, Helian Bi thought she had guessed right, and said, "Why should you get angry with such a vulgar and despicable little character, it's not worth it."

The two were talking, but there was a sound of panicked footsteps outside the door.

A young man in white rushed into the courtyard, his whole body was full of sunshine.

The boy's head of black hair was tied high behind his head, and a few strands of hair hung down from his temples, making him look a bit lazy, and there was a sense of worry in his delicate and gentle brows.

His gaze was eagerly searching for something in the courtyard, and soon he noticed Helianbi and Zhuo Tianxin standing in the courtyard.

"Princess Bi, why are you here?"

He Lianbi looked at the young boy in front of him, frowned, and said displeasedly: "I'm not here, where should I be? I'm here to see Tianxin, is there anything wrong?"

Hearing the words, the young man in white stared blankly, then shook his head, and said, "No, that's not what I meant. How dare I stop you, but just now I heard that the servant said that the lady of Ye's mansion came to deliver something, and I was puzzled, so I hurried away Come to investigate the situation, and ask Princess Bi to forgive me."

"So that's the case. It seems that this woman has a good relationship with you, and you are so nervous!" He Lianbi said mockingly.
