White Sun County had to take the water route. Luo Lingwei, who was standing at the bow of the boat, was looking at the majestic Lin Jiang in fear. In modern times, she was born into the north as a genuine landlubber and had never seen so much water in her life.
Seeing that Luo Lingwei was afraid, Ye Lianhe silently stood behind her and placed his warm palm on Luo Lingwei's shoulder. He smiled and asked, ”What's wrong, Princess Wang is waiting for me?”
Luo Lingwei pursed her lips, not wanting to respond to him. These days Lianhe knew that she had been working hard with her inspector and had been patient with her, and she was used to being angry at him.
”The most taboo of people is to think too much. Your Highness, you must pay attention to your body.”
Ye Lianhe rubbed his nose and was about to retort when he heard someone crying and cursing from the boat beside him. The girl swore softly, which even overshadowed the sound of paddling on the surface of the river.
”It's quite a loud voice.” Ye Lianhe sneered.
The little girl had a heavy gold jade longevity lock the size of a baby's fist around her neck, and a kushu on her wrist. Her face was round, and her eyes were like those of a rich man. ”You're just a lowly son of a servant, who gave you the guts to think about my legal wife's position?
The little gongzi at the side quickly pulled the little girl back, ”No matter what, she's still a rich girl. Look at what nonsense you're speaking, Mingwen is your concubine's little sister, it's enough for you to use her as a servant, why are you saying such outrageous words?”
The bystanders also joined in the conversation, ”Aren't you forcing people to die?”
”Miss doesn't have a female servant. Even if I were given ten brave female servants, I wouldn't dare to be a young miss.” The maidservant held the little girl's leg and cried until she was out of breath. She couldn't even speak, yet she was stuttering as she tried to explain.
He pulled out a fan from somewhere and opened it against the railing. He had surpassed the rank of regent and forcefully created the image of a foppish young lord in the capital.
”Princess Hua-Yang's case is like that of a god. How do you think this matter should be resolved?”
Luo Lingwei glanced at him, thinking that his beautiful appearance was truly bewitching. Luo Lingwei had done a lot of activities and plotted before. She had seen quite a lot of fresh meat being treated as fried chicken, but none of them were like Ye Lianhe's.
Luo Lingwei could not tell which part of him was different from the others, but it was one of a kind.
Luo Lingwei sneered: ”Hmph, you're just pretending. The servant girl obviously wants to be the leader of the group in front of the young miss and ruin the young miss's reputation in front of the person she loves. ”
She had seen many of these white lotuses act like this.
Ye Lianhe nodded in agreement. His long and narrow almond-shaped eyes were filled with ridicule, ”Indeed, such a scheming scheme is something rarely seen in the palace today. ”Let's see where that little gongzi is going to put it …”
It was obvious that the little gongzi was still a child who wasn't familiar with the affairs of the world, so he couldn't see through the deceit within. As expected, he pulled the maidservant towards the cabin.
The young miss was so angry that her face turned blue as she stomped on the deck.
”Miss, it's almost time for lunch.” Facing Ye Lianhe, Xiaoqing did not dare to call Luo Lingwei as she snuck up behind Luo Lingwei to remind her.
Luo Lingwei had been busy since morning and had not eaten since then. Her stomach was empty, so it was better if she didn't remind him. The moment she reminded him, she immediately felt empty, hungry to the point where stars appeared in her eyes.
Luo Lingwei simply sat in front of the small stool and did not leave. ”Eat on the deck.”
