C61 (1/2)

He suddenly realized that the gazes from his surroundings were off. Everyone looked at her as if she were an enemy. In the past, the matriarch had doted on her, so they were all very respectful. Now that the matriarch was sick, and because the two aunts had said a few words, everyone looked at her as if they were their enemies. Humans. Ignorant. The matter was clearly there, but they could not see the truth.

Instead, I felt like I was in their way.

The home that she once thought of as the Prime Minister's Palace now only felt that people were weak. Only the matriarch, her first uncle, her third uncle, and her cousin gave her a sense of familiarity. Maybe he was too picky!

Many of them had returned to the Yanran Pavilion.

When they saw her return, Wen'er and the others surrounded her.

”Miss, you must be tired! I'll go get water for the lady and take a bath! ”

Xuanyuan Yu said to Liu Mei beside her, ”You can go now! I have something to say to you. ”

The few of them agreed before retreating.

Xuanyuan Yu carefully looked at Yue'er, her face exhausted. Her eyes were rimmed with laughter, and when she spoke to Xuanyuan Yu, her voice was a little hoarse. Xuanyuan Yu let out a sigh. She knew that she must have cried for a very long time and must also have not had a proper rest.

Then he said, ”Eldest Uncle is fine now. The imperial physician said he'll be fine tomorrow.”

”Really?” Wan-Er said excitedly, her eyes were red again, and tears fell down her cheeks. Gritting her teeth, she forced herself not to cry.

Xuanyuan Yu felt upset watching this, ”If you want to cry, just cry!”

Seeing her, Wan-Er couldn't hold it in anymore. She laid her head on the table and started to cry. Xuanyuan Yu only accompanied her and did not say anything. The one he loved had been injured for him, but he couldn't go see him.

Xuanyuan Yu patted Xun Er's back and suddenly said, ”I'll let Second Young Master. ”I'll let you serve Eldest Young Master!”

Warm suddenly stopped crying. ”Can I?”

Xuanyuan Yu nodded her head. ”It's fine. This is very difficult for us, but now that we're in charge of Second Uncle, this matter should be very simple.”

Warm Child looked at her gratefully. Seeing the look in her eyes, she realized how selfish she was. He was too preoccupied with complaining to his mistress, so who could she complain to in her heart? Then he asked, ”Miss, did the Sixth Prince really get the gold?”

Xuanyuan Yu lowered her head and nodded.

”This is really going too far,” Wan-Er said angrily. ”I really didn't know that it was such a person.”

Xuanyuan Yu shook her head, not wanting to say anything.

”Knock knock. Miss's water is ready. Do you want to take a bath now?”

”Bring the water!”

Warm Child hurriedly stood up and wiped away her tears. He walked over and opened the door.

Liu Mei looked at Xun Er's red eyes and her tears. He was doubtful, but didn't probe any further.

The water was ready. Liu Mei came over to help take off Xuanyuan Yu's clothes.

Xuanyuan Yu avoided it. ”No need, all of you go out! ”I'll do it myself.”

Liu Mei lowered her head. ”Then I'll go prepare some food for Miss. Miss hasn't eaten all night. When we're done bathing, let's eat some porridge.”

Xuanyuan Yu lightly smiled. ”No need. When I've finished bathing, I'll rest for a bit. If Eldest Uncle wakes up, remember to notify me.”

”Yes.” Liu Mei withdrew.

He smiled at her and left.

When everyone had left, Xuanyuan Yu let out a long sigh. He slowly took off his clothes. As he ran into the tub, he couldn't help but exclaim. Then, she submerged her head into the water. Her mind was filled with the image of Ouyang Shaojie, his voice and appearance, the way they kissed, and the sweet words he whispered in her ear as he swore to her. Above the bamboo forest, there was still the scene of him being saved from Xuanyuan Zhi before he came to the Prime Minister's Estate that night. That kiss had turned into a conspiracy. When she rushed to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, she was hoping that it wasn't him, that it was just a wild guess. But when he admitted it, when she begged him, even when he knelt down, his heartlessness and his decisiveness were like a knife, slowly stabbing into Xuanyuan Yu's heart. Pain. It was very painful. Just like who let it be, it was suffocating. Xuanyuan Yu felt that it was difficult to breathe and her life was about to disappear. She suddenly got out of the water and leaned against the back.

Feeling the temperature of the water. Was his life destined to be so unfortunate? It doesn't matter if there are twists and turns in life, but aren't there too many twists and turns right now? He didn't want to know whether his life was good or bad. After soaking in it for a while, he would get up and lie down on the bed. He had not slept the entire night. Although he was very sleepy, his mind was filled with many things. With a terrible headache, he decided to get up. Standing on the windowsill, he blew on the wind and poured himself a cup of tea. Smelling the fragrance of the tea, he tried his best to calm his emotions. Right now, his only option was to find the Sixth Prince. However, he did not even look at himself. He thought back to when he had loudly said that he did not want the throne because of him. He felt that it was like a dream, more like a joke. She even wondered if everything had been premeditated. There were layers of soldiers guarding outside. There were also quite a few dark guards of the Prime Minister's Estate. If the royal family was too forceful, a fierce battle would be inevitable.

After a moment, he walked out of the room. He really wasn't in the mood to sleep.
