Chapter 80: Chapter 81: I Will Take Back Little by Little
Xia Zhaohe ran joyfully to Pei Huaian, squatted down shyly, and said, “I heard that the Emperor intends to grant us marriage this ti.”
Pei Huaian frowned deeply, pushed his wheelchair back, and kept a certain distance from her.
“Impossible.”
“How is it impossible?” Xia Zhaohe stood up dissatisfied.
She had liked Pei Huaian for many years, always following behind him, not sparing a glance for anyone else, even though Pei Huaian was so cold to her, she still loved him unswervingly.
Behind the rockery, Shao He felt that eavesdropping on others’ conversations was really impolite, took a deep breath, and slowly moved her body to walk outside.
...
After managing to get out of the rockery and about to sneak away carefully, she was blocked by Chu Yu who had rushed over.
“What are you doing? Hiding there sneakily!” Chu Yu asked displeasedly.
“It’s none of your business.” Shao He said and then tried to leave.
Chu Yu blocked her path again, glanced at the pavilion, and said with icy cold eyes like a cold wind sweeping through, “This is the Princess’s Mansion, not a place where you can co and go as you please. Be careful, you might offend soone and not even know how you die!”
“Wouldn’t that be exactly what the Marquis wants? If I were dead, you should be happy, shouldn’t you?” Shao He retorted coldly with a snort.
Chu Yu’s face turned an iron blue, he raised his hand, pulled her into a corner, and raised his hand to slap her.
Just as his palm was about to fall, Shao He caught his wrist forcefully, flung it away, and pushed the person in front of her, saying coldly, “I endured it before, but that doesn’t an I will let you bully in the future. You’d better rember everything you’ve done to , I will take it back bit by bit.”
“You? Utterly reckless.” Chu Yu looked at her venomously, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Shao He t his gaze without fear and sneered coldly, “The Marquis just wait and see.”
Shao He only wanted to leave quickly at this point; first, she didn’t want to stay with Chu Yu feeling even the air was not fresh, and second, she did not want to get discovered by the people in the pavilion.
She was about to step away from Chu Yu, but her arm was grabbed and yanked back again.
Caught off guard, she slamd into a stone pillar with her back, the pain nearly making her cry out.
“Let go!” Shao He glared angrily at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu crossed his arms, looking down on her from above, “You’re still as annoying as ever.”
Hearing this, Shao He looked up at him and mocked, “If the Marquis is so annoyed with , why do you always find excuses to approach ?”
Chu Yu’s expression changed slightly, and he said icily, “Why do you think? Of course, for the child!”
“Child? Which child is the Marquis referring to…” Shao He feigned confusion.
Chu Yu clenched his fist, grinding his teeth, “Don’t play dumb with here, if you hand over the child sooner, you’ll suffer less, otherwise…”
“Who’s there! Co out!”
A stone accompanied by a biting voice ca flying, and Chu Yu retreated just in ti to avoid it.
Now that their identities were exposed, they had no choice but to co out and greet.
“We have t the Commandery Princess Ninghe,” Chu Yu bowed and said.
“We have t the Commandery Princess Ninghe,” Shao He bowed slightly and said.
However, when their gaze fell on the man wearing a mask next to them, they were taken aback.
Shao He lowered her head, guessing that Pei Huaian’s identity might be more than just a General; otherwise, he wouldn’t appear at the Princess’s Mansion and have ties with the Commandery Princess Ninghe.
Xia Zhaohe’s lips curled into a mocking smile, her eyes mixed with a hint of anger, “You dare eavesdrop here, you’ve got so nerve!”
Chu Yu smiled faintly, explaining softly, “The Commandery Princess might have misunderstood, we both ca together, unaware that there were people in the pavilion, and we did not eavesdrop.”
Hearing him say this, Xia Zhaohe no longer dwelled on it. However, the Pei Huaian in the wheelchair felt extrely uncomfortable, his look toward Chu Yu even carrying a hint of malice.
He curled his lips into a mocking smile and said coldly, “I heard that the Marquis of Pingnan brought his deceased wife’s maid to attend the Princess’s birthday. It’s truly an eye-opener. However, as the bones of the Madam Marquis are averse to cold, it’s one thing for you to find a new love, but flaunting her in public like this is indeed improper.”
These mocking words made Chu Yu’s face look very ugly. He already detested this man, and to be reprimanded by him now was infuriating. Unfortunately, the man’s identity was unknown at the mont, otherwise, he would have taught him a lesson, but he had to endure it for the ti being.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly, “Perhaps this gentleman is being a bit too ddleso.”
“I actually think Brother An makes a good point. Your actions are truly despicable,” Xia Zhaohe echoed thoughtlessly.
Chu Yu noticed Xia Zhaohe’s attitude and suddenly rembered a rumor from the Capital City.
It was said that the Commandery Princess Ninghe had long harbored love for a certain Prince in the palace, prompting him to speculate about the man’s identity. If he rembered correctly, the Prince Pei Huaian who had never shown up was also disabled in both legs, but he did not explicitly reveal Pei Huaian’s identity.
Chu Yu glanced at Xia Zhaohe, smiled, and said, “If the Marquis isn’t mistaken, this gentleman has helped Doctor Shao a lot, and the two often appear together, laughing and talking, entering Jian Hall together as a pair. How co you pretend not to recognize each other now?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhaohe indeed took the bait. Brother An has always preferred solitude, and he was reluctant to interact too much with others. Even towards her, he was indifferent. How could he all of a sudden help this female doctor and laugh and talk with her? Jealousy surged in her heart!
