Scheming Prince’s Conceited Consort - C193
In the hunter’s hut, Gu Shiyi and Ning Qingqing had just become allies with Ning Qingqing, Gu Shiyi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, following that, her heart also started to beat frantically, a wave of grief immediately engulfed her heart, causing her to be extremely sure that something bad had happened, and she was extremely uneasy.
“Why?”
Situ Jing immediately supported Gu Shiyi, his face full of worry.
“Nothing, maybe he didn’t sleep well!”
Gu Shiyi waved her hand. She didn’t know how to explain it to Situ Jing, but she couldn’t possibly say that it was her sixth sense. Furthermore, she didn’t want to worry Situ Jing.
“Aunt, the road ahead is dangerous, take care!”
After Gu Shiyi stabilized her body, she cupped her fists towards Ning Qingqing and left the hut together with Situ Jing, and walked down the mountain.
Liyang, no matter how many dangers this mysterious clan hid, they still did not know. But no matter how difficult the road ahead of them was, they would not retreat.
Liyang, Jiang Family, Jiang Family Castle.
“Miss Lan, is it alright if young master sends a servant to greet you?”
The youngest son of the third house in Jiang Family, the third son, Jiang Qianxi’s Autumn Maple Court, had a bright and spacious kitchen. Xiao Zhi was instructing seven or eight kitchen maids to run around as they worked, when the maid, dogwood, ran into the kitchen and stood in front of Xiao Zhi, greeting him.
“Soon, soon. You go and tell the young master that it will be soon. Sigh, wait, just wait here. Just wait for them to come and serve the plate!”
The dogwood was about to leave to report back, but before she had taken a step, Xiao Zhi stopped her. She told the dogwood to stay and went to report herself.
Xiao Zhi smiled as she let the dogwood remove the apron on her body. Then, she used warm water to wash his hands and applied the ointment on her skin. She tidied up the gorgeous and complicated dress on her body and walked out of the kitchen in an elegant and graceful manner.
“Pfft! You’re just a little girl. Do you really think that you can become a phoenix just because you’re valued by the young master!?”
Only when Xiao Zhi walked far away did the dogwood reveal a fierce expression, spitting at Xiao Zhi’s back in disdain.
Young Master doesn’t like you, so why don’t you think about the reason? If the Young Master had accidentally fallen into the water, you would have risked your life to save the Young Master.
Although she didn’t like Xiao Zhi either, she didn’t like the person in front of her either. Hence, she mocked and ridiculed the dogwood.
The face of the dogwood turned green and white at the words of the cook. How could she dare say that she did not go down into the lake because she was afraid of the cold in the lake, causing Xiao Zhi to take the initiative.
Thinking of this, the dogwood would always regret her actions. If she had known that she had saved the young master, she would have jumped down without hesitation even risking her life.
In the study of the main house of the Qiu Feng Courtyard, a tall, jade-like young man stood before the window, one hand behind his back, his face expressionless. Looking carefully, the young man’s eyes were dim and lifeless, without a single trace of brilliance, which made him look lifeless and out of place in the gorgeous and elegant study he was in.
With a creaking sound, the door of the study opened. Xiao Zhi revealed a proper smile, and slowly walked to the front of the Young Noble, and hugged him from behind. She placed her face on his back and muttered softly.
“Qian Xi!”
The corner of her mouth started to rise slightly, and then she pulled Xiao Zhi’s hands away, turned her body around, and hugged Xiao Zhi in her arms.
“Xiao Zhi, I miss you so much when you leave for a while. What do we do, Xiao Zhi, I don’t want you to leave for even a moment!”
Jiang Qianxi cupped Xiao Zhi’s face with both hands and caressed her face slowly with a face full of gentleness.
“Qian Xi, Xiao Zhi also doesn’t want to leave you!”
The corner of Xiao Zhi’s mouth curled up in pride as she hooked her hands around Jiang Qianxi’s neck. With a tap of her toes, she brought her red lips to Jiang Qianxi’s lips.
Jiang Qianxi’s face was full of intoxication, his man’s instincts allowed him to reach into Xiao Zhi’s clothes without any guidance. The moment he took hold of the softness, all the blood in his body started to surge out.
Xiao Zhi’s face was flushed red, she looked intoxicated as she spoke out to Jiang Qianxi.
“Xi, give it to me!”
Jiang Qianxi could no longer control the impulse in his body. Hugging Xiao Zhi across, he walked towards the Jade Curtain Pavilion in the study.
Not long after, a series of heart-palpitating moans came from inside.
“Master, here’s your beloved Snow Lotus Clear Lotus Jade Soup!”
The dogwood carried a soft voice, the moment he entered the room, he could not wait to shout out. Accompanied by the sound of his heart beating, the dogwood had not even recovered from his shock when he heard a loud shout.
“Scram!”
A jade plate that was the size of a palm flew out from the Jade Curtain Pavilion along with Jiang Qianxi’s furious voice. It accurately smashed onto the head of the dogwood, and blood instantly covered it.
The dogwood didn’t even have time to react before it ran out of the study in a panic. It ran straight to its own room and buried its head in its cup, crying loudly.
After a long while, he finally stuck his head out from under the blanket, his eyes full of resentment.
In the past, she was the one who kept her promises in Jiang Qianxi’s room, the Great Maidservant. But now that Xiao Zhi had come, not only could she not serve him anymore, she even had to serve this lowly bitch, Xiao Zhi, who was even inferior to her.
In the past, she would always take care of Jiang Qianxi’s living arrangements. But now, she had to listen to everything Xiao Zhi said.
In the past, even if Jiang Qianxi was blind, he had always been an elegant and noble young master who kept himself well. But now, in broad daylight, he had actually committed such a despicable act with Xiao Zhi. This had truly disappointed her!
The dogwood was extremely unwilling to accept this. It seemed that if this situation continued to develop, Xiao Zhi would get the upper hand sooner or later. If she really did wait until then, her situation would become even more difficult.
In the past, Jiang Qianxi couldn’t even bear to speak loudly to her, but just a moment ago, not only did he roar at her, he even smashed his with something!
Xiao Zhi, that lowly slave, must have done it on purpose. She clearly knew that she would deliver the dessert, but she just had to seduce Jiang Qianxi at this point in time.
Unknowingly, the fingernail in the hands of the dogwood had already embedded itself into the meat. She was the Great Maidservant that the Madam had personally selected, how could she lose to Xiao Zhi, this lowly servant of unknown origins who had entered the palace halfway!
