Chapter 207 Lu Ji is going to be estranged from her
The girl didn’t get off the man until everyone left. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard the man angrily say, “Don’t think I can’t beat you just because you’ve taken everyone away.”
She immediately crawled into his arms again and said to him pitifully, "Don't hit me. You know that Ah Ning is very delicate. Your slap was not light or heavy. If you hurt me, you will never see Ah Ning again. You will be heartbroken and regretful."
Lu Ji took the chattering little person out of his arms and asked her coldly, "What's so good about an ungrateful person like you that I can't tame?"
If you don't want to stay, why do you force me to come back?
Just as the little girl was complaining in her heart, she heard the man say again: "Don't think that I can't leave you just because I caught you back."
The little girl was so frightened that her mind went blank immediately and she dared not to think of anything else.
"I was wrong." She threw herself into his arms again, but was pushed away by the man.
She sniffed, stood in front of him and cried, "I want to leave, but it's all for your sake. You always treat your fiancée badly for my sake, and people will scold you for favoring your concubine and destroying your wife."
"Shut up!" Before she could finish, the man interrupted her coldly, "Don't use this to prevaricate. I don't know you. You always think about yourself first in everything."
How can you be so right!
It really is so.
The little girl glanced at the man guiltily, then lowered her head again, muttering unconvincedly: "I think more about myself, but I also really think about you. You dote on me like this, and I will definitely be envied by others. Not only will I be plotted against behind my back, but I'm afraid that in the future you will also be caught between my wives and concubines and suffer."
Lu Ji smiled faintly upon hearing this, and replied coldly: "If you are worried about this, then I can tell you that you are really worrying about nothing."
He paused, then continued: "From now on, I will no longer be nice to you."
Lu Ji's voice trembled: "Too much favor to a concubine is the root of a family's misfortune. Besides, this prince has seen clearly that you, an ungrateful person, do not deserve such kindness from me."
As he spoke, he tried hard to suppress his temper, his tone was huffing and he sounded very unstable.
After saying this, the man sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
When he spoke again, Lu Ji's voice had regained its clarity. He continued, "Now, fortunately, I have come to my senses. From now on, in my backyard, there will be distinctions between the superior and the inferior. My wife and I will live in harmony, and you just need to do your duty as a concubine."
After saying this, the man looked at the little woman steadily, with a look of relief on his face after venting his emotions.
The little woman listened to his words carefully, looked back at him with her clear eyes, and replied with a single word.
"it is good."
The man became furious again upon hearing this. He crushed the cup in his hand violently. The broken pieces of porcelain pierced into his palm and blood immediately flowed out.
The little girl was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth and screamed, "It's bleeding."
As she said this, she hurried out and called to the little maid outside, "Quickly bring the bandage to stop the bleeding, the prince..."
Before she could finish her words, the man grabbed her collar and violently lifted her up.
Regardless of her struggle, the man carried her out of the house, his hands full of blood dripping onto her body. The little girl was so scared that she kept shouting, "Lu Ji, what are you going to do now?"
The rain outside has stopped, but the wind is cold.
The little girl couldn't help but shrink her neck when she was suddenly carried out of the house by the man.
Lu Ji carried the person all the way to the east courtyard of Qingsong Garden. He kicked the door open, pushed the person in, and slammed the door.
The little girl stood on tiptoe, glanced at the man's angry back as he disappeared from her sight, and then she looked around the room.
It was a house with two entrances and exits. Although it was far less luxurious and spacious than the main house, it was also neat and clean. In the main courtyard of a noble family, there were such side rooms across the courtyard. When they were built, they were reserved specifically for the lord's side rooms.
Logically speaking, as Lu Ji's concubine, she should live here, but ever since he took her in, Lu Ji has always let her live in the main house.
Huh! Now he threw himself here, just to fulfill his words just now, from now on he will not love her anymore and let her do her duty as a concubine.
The little girl sighed and just sat down on the couch in the outer room when the maid outside the door poked her head out, knocked on the door and came in.
"Miss Qin, do you have any errands?"
The little maid was about twelve or thirteen years old, and looked a little dull. She should be responsible for the rough work of sweeping the yard.
Qin Xiaoning did not recognize this little maid, but as the prince's favorite concubine and the only female master of Qingsong Garden, the little maid obviously recognized her.
"Come in." Qin Xiaoning waved at her.
Upon hearing this, the little maid stepped into the house, looking at a loss and introducing herself to Qin Xiaoning: "My name is Xiaohong, and I have been working in this courtyard."
Qin Xiaoning looked around the house and asked her, "Is there any rat or insect in this house?"
"No, absolutely not." The little maid replied hurriedly: "I have been working here for two or three years. This room is swept every day. It is absolutely clean. There is nothing like what the young lady said."
"That's good."
As she spoke, Qin Xiaoning walked to the inner room and saw that the bedding was still neat and clean, but it had not been used for a long time and was slightly damp. She said to the little maid, "The sun is out now. Please help me take the bedding out to dry in the sun."
"Okay, I'll go and dry the clothes right away." The little maid immediately took action, and while packing the bedding, she asked, "Miss Qin, will you live here forever?"
That depends on what Lu Ji means.
But judging from his attitude today, he was most likely going to become estranged from her.
Qin Xiaoning smiled helplessly: "Maybe he'll stay for a while, or maybe he'll stay permanently, it's hard to say."
The little maid stopped her busy work, turned to look at Qin Xiaoning, and asked eagerly, "Miss Qin, please let me be your personal maid. I am very hardworking and can do any job."
Qin Xiaoning was amused when she heard this, and kindly advised the little maid, "I am just a concubine, and you have no future with me. The prince is going to marry, so you might as well show yourself in front of the new bride and follow a proper master, so that you can have a good future."
The little maidservant was simple-minded, and upon hearing that, she hurriedly said, "I just want to follow Miss Qin. I know that the prince likes you the most, and you are the most favored, so I just want to follow you."
In favor?
Haha, even if it was only in the past.
It’s hard to say what will happen in the future.
Qin Xiaoning did not respond, but said, "Go and dry the quilt first, then go to the kitchen and tell the cook to make some food for me."
After a whole day of hard work, she was really hungry.
Anyway, let’s fill our stomachs first.
