Seeing my severely twitching mouth corners, Zi’er couldn’t help but nervously ask: “My lady, are you alright? Is something wrong?”
She wouldn’t have asked if it was better, but with her question, I suddenly felt my stomach start to ache faintly. I pursed my lips and couldn’t help but say two words pitifully, “I’m hungry!”
“Ah?” The little maid looked at me blankly: “But the Crown Prince has ordered that no one is allowed to send anything to my lady, or they will be expelled from the mansion!”
I didn’t want to make things difficult for this maid who had already helped me a lot, so I just laughed and pretended nothing was wrong: “I was just joking, I’m fine. You should go rest early!”
The little maid looked at me worriedly: “But my lady, your complexion doesn’t look good. Are you really okay?”
I immediately nodded my head like a rattle drum, repeatedly saying: “Really, really, truer than a pearl, you should go quickly! Be careful not to get in trouble with the Crown Prince!”
The little maid handed me the lamp, reluctantly instructing: “Then please take care of yourself, my lady.”
I’ll come check on you early tomorrow morning!”
“Mm!” I smiled on the surface, but my heart was crying. Tomorrow? Whether I could see the sun tomorrow was still unknown! That heartless man, I really want to become a vengeful ghost and strangle him tonight, wuwuwu…
If I still had the strength, I would definitely kick him without hesitation because this guy is truly annoying. I bit my lower lip tightly and endured the pain, saying: “Who made you waste so much of my energy talking? Of course you’re responsible for taking me to the medical clinic!”
“Tsk tsk, what a little spitfire!” Someone shook his head, his words full of interest. “But today, this young master is in a good mood, so I’ll reluctantly do a good deed!” As soon as the words fell, I fell into the man’s warm embrace. At that moment, I met a pair of narrow, agile black eyes and the man’s extraordinarily handsome face.
OMG! Are ancient handsome guys really everywhere like this……
I know I look good, but do you have to keep staring at me like this?” The man blinked, his attitude extremely arrogant.
Cough, cough……
I curled my lips and quietly closed my eyes, leaning on his chest without arguing. Not because I agreed with his words, but because I no longer had the energy to argue.
In a daze, besides the intense pain, I could hear someone chattering, but my consciousness was becoming increasingly blurry, making it impossible to discern what he was saying.
When I woke up again, I found myself lying in an unfamiliar environment. Looking at the surrounding decorations, it didn’t look like a medical clinic, but more like a side room in a wealthy household.
However, I couldn’t recall what happened in between. My memory vaguely showed a handsome face that was laughing in an annoying way – but I couldn’t quite remember who it was!
“You’re finally awake. I was really afraid I’d brought back a dead person. Fortunately, you’re fine, otherwise I’d be in big trouble…”
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the person walking in was the face that had just flashed through my mind – handsome, sunny, but speaking with a very arrogant and harsh tone!
“Who are you?” I rolled my eyes, asking impatiently.
The man shook his head, making a hurt expression: “Tsk tsk, you’ve already forgotten your life-saving benefactor? How heartless!
I then remembered that my stomach illness had almost caused me to faint by the roadside, and then I met an incredibly self-loving person – the man standing before me.
I curled my lips and casually replied, “Oh, it’s you!”
“Oh? Remember now?” The man raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
I retorted unhappily: “A man as self-loving as you, I’m sure few people would forget!”
The man shrugged unconcernedly, looking pleased: “Alright, let me introduce myself! This young master is the legendary handsome, suave, elegant – the carefree young master, Feng Chi.”
I was stunned! This dialogue… why does it sound so familiar?
I threw three words at him: “Fei Xiaoran!”
Feng Chi was momentarily confused, asking blankly: “What?”
“My name!”
Someone heard this and immediately glared at me indignantly: “Hey, aren’t you being a bit too petty? I’m just charging you a hundred taels of silver. Do you have to be so venomous?”
I raised my eyebrow nonchalantly and replied, “Likewise!”
I don’t know that this young lady is famous for wanting money more than her life. Wanting to take a hundred taels from me so easily? Not a chance…
A hundred taels, don’t even think about it.
Someone finally became a bit smarter, tilting their head to size me up and said: “It seems you don’t plan to give me those hundred taels?”
I didn’t even think and immediately answered, “That’s right!”
No money, but one life – in any case, this young lady just won’t pay. I don’t believe this guy can do anything to me…
Someone touched their chin, making a serious thinking expression. After a while, they looked at me and said: “Since there’s no money, I won’t prepare food for you. As for the medical expenses you owe, you can stay and work to pay off the debt!”
“What, what?” I opened my eyes in disbelief.
Are you kidding me? I’m a perfectly good imperial consort, and I’m going to come here to do odd jobs for this guy? Am I still dreaming in broad daylight?
Did I hear that wrong? Ten taels of silver, and this guy actually gave me plain rice porridge? Damn, calling him a robber is not an exaggeration at all!
The maidservant took the order and hurried away. Wei Chi turned around, just meeting my contemptuous glance. He slightly raised his eyebrow and asked, “What, you have an objection?”
“That’s right!” I puffed out my cheeks and glared at her, “I want bird’s nest porridge!”
Wei Chi shrugged his shoulders and calmly threw back, “Sorry, we don’t have it!”
Is this man really that stingy? Looking at his clothing and accessories, I don’t believe he can’t afford a bowl of bird’s nest porridge. Anyway, the boss is paying, so I stubbornly demanded with puffed cheeks, “Don’t you know that sick people need nourishment? I want bird’s nest porridge!”
Wei Chi lightly raised his eyebrow, with a helpless expression, “The doctor said you have a stomach illness and should only eat light food!”
I rolled my eyes at him, “Do you have to make it this bland?”
Wei Han seemed to think for a moment, then said, “How about I have the maid prepare some side dishes to go with the porridge?” And then added, “Don’t worry, it won’t cost you any silver!”
Seeing me lift the blanket to get up, he quickly came forward to stop me, “What are you doing?”
I continued to puff out my cheeks and replied stubbornly, “I’m going to eat bird’s nest porridge. Since you don’t have it here, I’ll go out to eat, okay?”
“How can you be so willful?” Wei Han was also a bit angry, glaring at me, “Don’t you know how to take care of yourself?”
I met his gaze and glared back, “What does a stingy man like you know about taking care of yourself? This lady wants to eat well, dress well, use good things, and have fun – that’s what life is about, understand?”
“Eat well, dress well, use good things, and have fun? Tsk tsk, sounds nice, but… do you have any silver?”
Wei Chi crossed his arms, leisurely looking me over.
I immediately raised my noble head and proudly answered, “Of course… I don’t!”
No, if that guy knows I have silver, what if he chases me to demand those 100 taels? Thinking of this, I immediately changed my tune! Well, it’s better to keep a low profile!
Wei Chi immediately laughed without restraint…
I tilted my head and glared at him, “What are you laughing at?”
