The foolish prince counterattacks the concubine

Chapter 24
Withdrawing her gaze from him, Mu Xirao then answered Hua Qingchen's question next to each other: "The first question, it is said that human nature is inherently good, do you think everyone is born a wicked person?
They only change their calculations after being treated mercilessly, and they just want to survive.As for you saying that I plan on the closest relatives around me, then have you ever experienced the feeling of being pushed into the lake in early spring and almost drowning?I am not afraid to tell you that I have died once, that I crawled out of the coffin chest.

As for the second question, since everyone in the world knows that I am a waste, stupid, stupid and ugly, why should I bother to explain?I'm just a piece of trash, and my family members maliciously bully me. If I were a normal person, I might be in danger. Why should I cause unnecessary trouble for myself? "

Mu Xirao paused when she said this, and cast a disdainful look at Hua Qingchen.Then he continued to speak: "I have been hiding in the mansion since that day before I went to the Taifu's mansion to pay my birthday greetings, and I have never appeared in front of everyone. Concubine Yu is a concubine of the imperial palace. How can I, a well-known waste, have anything to do with her?" what contact.

I didn't expect that she would give a reward that day, but it wasn't just for me, Mu Yuwei and Mu Ruyi both had it.Presumably because he was wronged in the Taifu's mansion that day, the imperial concubine gave some rewards as comfort.I send the gift back, but I don't want to owe my concubine any favors.The last question, if you think it is true, it is true, and if you think it is false, it is also false. "

After saying that, Mu Xirao looked at Hua Qingchen: "I don't know Mu Xirao's answer, is Mr. Hua still satisfied?"

Hua Qingchen stared deeply at her forehead, and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the birthmark hidden under the bangs.

Seeing this, Xi Rao turned slightly to avoid Hua Qingchen's overstretched hand.Hua Qingchen was taken aback, and withdrew his hand in a little embarrassment, before speaking for a while: "Miss Mu said that you are worrying about finding the gift, why don't I give you a copy?"

"You?" Mu Xirao sneered, "Giving courteousness for nothing is either rape or stealing. I dare not accept favors for no reason."

While talking, he took off the golden step made of a butterfly from his head, and put it in front of Hua Qingchen: "When I received this gift last time, Xiluo always felt uneasy. This golden step is still returned. Original owner."

Hua Qingchen's gentle face turned gloomy and cold in an instant, and he looked at Mu Xirao's stubbornness with sullen eyes: "There is no reason to take back what was sent out. This thing is yours. If you don't want it, you can throw it away." That's it!"

Mu Xirao must have been really angry when he saw the terrifying look on his face, so he stopped talking, and he didn't reach out to take back the golden step.The atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.

Lifting her feet, Xi Rao was about to leave.Suddenly the house shook, and the dishes on the table fell to the side one after another. Mu Xirao only felt that her body was unsteady and fell to the side, and then fell into a broad and firm embrace.

The man's clear breath diffused around her, and Xi Rao was slightly dazed, and her cheeks were involuntarily stained with a hint of pink.

Hua Qingchen hugged her shoulders tightly, and felt that her shy look with her head bowed was as beautiful as the moon and stars in the mountain stream.Stretching out a hand, just as he was about to uncover the tire mark, the room shook again involuntarily.

Mu Xirao turned around and immediately thought of an earthquake.Quickly pushed away Hua Qingchen's arms and ran outside, but the vibration stopped suddenly, and everything returned to calm.

When Mu Xirao ran out of the restaurant, many people had already gathered outside.They all ran out from the surrounding houses, whispering about the scene that shook the earth just now.

Fortunately, this was only a slight shaking, and no houses collapsed and no casualties were caused.Seeing Mu Chuchu, Liu Zhi and his party were all on the street, Xi Rao let go of a tense string.

When Hua Qingchen chased him out, Mu Xirao had already turned around and left.Holding the butterfly Jin Buyao in his hand, he couldn't help but smile a little.

Heiye walked to Hua Qingchen's side from the side, looking at the smile on his master's face, he was a little puzzled.

After putting away the golden step, Hua Qingchen told Heiye: "Go and get a pair of my paintings and send them to Mu's residence, and you must hand them to Fourth Miss Mu in person."

Heiye was puzzled, and looked at Hua Qingchen in shock. Could it be that his master really fell in love with that good-for-nothing lady with no talent, no morals and no looks?

When Xi Rao returned to the small courtyard, she closed the door and hid in the space. Xu was tired all day, her body was sore and weak, as if she had worked hard all day, and her whole body felt uncomfortable like falling apart.

Soaking in the warm spring water, the whole body was released. Xi Rao closed her eyes and rested her mind, but the shadow of Hua Qingchen appeared in her mind.Xi Rao shook her head hard, this is really a bad omen.

Taking out the strange fruit obtained in the space last time, Xi Rao originally planned to present this rare object to the noble concubine as a return gift, but when she thought that if there was any adverse reaction to this thing, wouldn't she be able to chop off ten heads? So I dismissed that idea.

It's just that if the time goes by, the fruit will probably go bad if left alone.When Xirao was hesitating about what to do with the fruit, there was vanilla knocking on the door.

"Miss, there is a man outside the mansion who wants to see you, and he is already waiting outside. Go out and have a look." Vanilla's voice was a little eager.Mu Xirao put the fruit in the cup that was originally filled with spring water, and then returned to the room.

"Wait a while, I'll come out when I'm done." Mu Xirao ordered to the vanilla outside the door while arranging her clothes.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Xi Rao led the maid to the gate.She just didn't recognize the man standing at the gate.

Doubtful, puzzled, but Xi Rao's face was indifferent.Standing at the door, he distanced himself from the man and asked, "May I ask why you want to see me with your message?"

Heiye, who was standing with her back to Mu Xirao, turned around. The pale yellow candlelight danced against her face, and she could vaguely see her fat and jade-like eyes, with a pair of bright and lively eyes. The birthmark abruptly destroyed that beauty.

Hei Ye took out the portrait he was carrying, and bowed his head respectfully, and presented it: "This is what my master told me to hand it over to Miss."

Mu Xirao glanced at the things in his hands lightly, and then Xiangcao stepped forward to take the calligraphy and painting and handed them to Xirao.

As soon as Mu Xirao took it, she opened it. Seeing that it was Mr. Hua Qi's calligraphy and painting, she was a little stunned for a while, but when she raised her head to ask Heiye who sent the painting, she found that the person had long since disappeared.

Dark night, a piece of mysterious color.The bright moonlight poured on the ground, clearly illuminating the surrounding scenery.

Mu Xirao took the painting and went back to the small courtyard, presumably it was also sent by Hua Qingchen.It's just that what is the relationship between this Hua Qingchen and the seventh son of Hua, and this Hua Qingchen seems to be so mysterious that people can't figure it out.

Among the trees, a figure flashed by.Vanilla tried hard to open her eyes, thinking that she was delusional.He walked forward quickly and walked side by side with Xi Rao.

"Miss, it seems that someone was watching us just now." Xiang Cao lowered her voice and whispered to Xi Rao.

Mu Xirao's eyes turned cold, and she stared quietly at the front without saying a word.Just quicken the pace of the foot.The wind lifted the hair on her forehead, blocking her sight in a mess.

Back in the small courtyard, Li Xuelian was sitting outside with a fan to enjoy the shade, and when she saw Xirao coming back, she smiled and let her sit beside her.

"Raoer, you have always been the most worry-free mother. Mother also felt that she owed you a lot since she was a child. Now, you are about to get married, and mother is very happy. But, let such a good-looking girl like you marry One... Hey, Mother knows that you are also a little unwilling. But Raoer, this man's words are formidable, and one person's saliva can drown you, there are some things that you have to know yourself."

Li Xuelian held her hand earnestly, now the rumors about the Mu residence are flying like flies, if this reaches the emperor's ears, Xi Rao will probably be divorced again.This time, she was divorced twice, how could anyone want her in the future?
Mu Xirao saw Li Xuelian beating around the bush and trying to express her dissatisfaction with her, but she behaved well and well, but she did something that people said was terrible.

"Mother, just speak up if you have anything to say. Xirao is stupid. What mother said is so subtle, Rao'er can't understand at all." Mu Xirao let her hand still be held in Li Xuelian's, and said straightforwardly. talking.

Li Xuelian was in a daze just now, as if her daughter's brain was not that good, so she said in a low voice: "Recently, you have been in contact with a few men, it's late at night, and there are men waiting outside the door to say that they want to see you." You, Xi Rao, you don't know how bad the servants say in private, you are almost married, if these things are heard by the emperor, then you are really doomed."

Thinking back to the past few days, I heard the servants discussing in private that Mu Xirao ran wildly with a handsome man on the street, and then had some ambiguities with the eldest prince, and now another man came to the house.The servants gobbled their tongues when they had nothing to do, which made Li Xuelian feel a little embarrassed.

His eyes darkened, and then Mu Xirao put away the coldness on his face, with a look of indifference: "Mother, Xirao knows, and in the future, Xirao must know how to keep people from chewing their tongues. Xirao is a little tired Alright, I'm going back to the house first."

Mu Xirao got up and motioned for Xiangcao to follow her into the house.

After closing the door, Xi Rao sat at the faded log table.He beckoned for Vanilla to sit aside before asking, "Did you see who it was just now?"

Vanilla shook her head regretfully: "At that time, the sky was already dark, and the person was a little far away. Vanilla couldn't see her front clearly. However, looking at the back, it should be one of the Xiao family sisters."

"Sisters of the Xiao family?" Xi Rao repeated in doubt, her mind spinning rapidly.

"Yes, miss, the sisters of the Xiao family are the maids arranged by the eldest lady, and miss, do you see that the two of them are dressed like second-class maids should? Where did it come from?" When Vanilla mentioned the two sisters, there was a burst of disdain in her eyes.
