Chapter 66 Anger
"Come on, follow me back." Lu Ji said in a deep voice.

Qin Xiaoning didn't move. Although she tried hard to hold back her tears, her tone was still tearful: "I won't reply."

The waters were boundless and in the night, her lonely, curled-up figure looked particularly frail and weak in the vastness.

Lu Ji couldn't help but slow down his tone: "Come back with me, be obedient."

Seeing that she still refused to move, he walked up to her, bent down in front of her, and pulled out her little head that was buried tightly in his knees with his big hands.

"You may be small, but you have a bad temper." He glared at her.

She turned her head away, not looking at him, sniffing and saying, "I don't need you to worry about me."

He looked at her for a long time, frowned and asked, "Is it really not up to me to take care of it?"

Seeing that she was still stubborn and stiff-necked, he stood up and said, "Since you have grown strong, then fine, I will no longer care about you."

After saying that, he walked away.

Hearing his footsteps seemed to be fading away, Qin Xiaoning couldn't help but turn her head, but happened to meet his deep gaze in the moonlight.

He was standing two or three steps behind her, with his arms crossed over his shoulders, looking at her leisurely.

I was fooled by him again.

She turned her head away in annoyance, panting angrily, her little shoulders shaking uncontrollably like leaves in the wind.

He spoke again, his voice cold and clear: "Qin Xiaoning, I won't indulge your temper. I'll give you one more chance. If you want to come back, come here obediently now."

The tone of command was threatening.

She couldn't help crying, and she was so angry that she choked up and down. "I won't reply, and it's none of your business. It's none of my business if you want to favor some messy woman. From now on, we'll go our separate ways."

"What did you say?"

His suppressed temper was ignited again. He took two or three steps to her and pulled her up: "Say it to me again? You are rebelling!"

He gnashed his teeth in hatred, as if he wanted to eat her alive. She waved her hands, dug and kicked at him.

Lu Ji gritted his teeth in anger, holding her tightly with one hand and raising the other hand high: "Qin Xiaoning, do you deserve a beating?"

She subconsciously shrank her neck and burst into tears.

I feel wronged and really scared.

"You still have the nerve to cry?"

He put down his raised hand, then pulled him and strode back. She was pulled by him like a puppet, almost dragged by him.

The man was displeased with her slow walking speed and glared at her impatiently, then picked her up like a chicken and held her under his armpit.

This position made her feel unsure about where to go. The little woman struggled, cried and shouted, but he ignored her until she could no longer cry and quieted down. He then let her go. She was so exhausted that she was about to collapse to the ground, but he picked her up, held her horizontally in his arms, and strode back towards Qingsong Garden.

"My Lord, have you found Miss Qin?"

Before entering the yard, Amber, who was standing at the gate, came out to greet them. She glanced at the person in the prince's arms, as if to confirm it again, then hurried back to the yard and said to the little maid inside: "Go and tell everyone that the person has been found, come back."

Lu Ji carried Qin Xiaoning all the way back to the back porch and threw the little person in his arms onto the soft quilt gently. The little woman collapsed, her clothes all wet, perhaps because of the dew or because she had shed too many tears. Her little face was even more unbearable to look at, like a harlequin cat, with red and swollen eyes, and even the tip of her nose was red.

She was crying like this, but she was still crying, as if her tears would never stop flowing. She lay in the quilt, looking extremely aggrieved. Lu Ji frowned as he watched.

"Can you stop crying?" he said to her weakly.

As soon as these words came out, the little guy cried even harder, sobbing as if he was about to die.

Lu Ji let out a long sigh, suppressed his temper, stared at her for a long time, then turned and left the room, calling Amber in a bad mood.

Amber just came in from outside, and seeing this, she hurried over: "My Lord——"

Before she could finish her words, Lu Ji pointed at Qin Xiaoning's room, frowned, and ordered in a deep voice: "No matter what method you use, coax her back within half an hour."

After saying that, he strode away without waiting for Amber to react.

It has to be said that women understand women.

Amber entered the back porch, sat beside the bed, and said only one sentence to Qin Xiaoning, which stopped her tears.

"Good girl, stop making trouble. You've made the prince cry."

Qin Xiaoning heard this and suddenly raised her head from the quilt and snorted coldly: "He can still cry?"

"Why can't he cry?" Amber smiled faintly: "Are you the only one who feels wronged? Isn't the prince wronged too?"

As he said that, he reached out and held up a handkerchief for Qin Xiaoning. She took it, wiped away her tears, and said unconvincedly: "He bullied me, deliberately angered me, and annoyed me. What is there to be wronged about?"

Amber smiled and said, "Since you know that the prince is deliberately trying to piss you off, why are you still so angry? You ran out just now and he couldn't find you. Do you know how anxious the prince was?"

Songzhi also followed and echoed: "The prince is not a lustful person, he just deliberately annoyed you and forced you to surrender. When he saw you crying and running away, he drove those concubines out and took out his anger on the woman who played the piano. She was so scared that she dropped her piano on the ground. She was also stupid. When she was taken away by Brother Chang, she even asked if the prince disliked her because she was not good at playing the piano."

Amber was so amused that she couldn't stop laughing: "You really have no sense of taste."

After Songzhi said this, Qin Xiaoning immediately thought of the funny scene and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing that the other person finally cleared up, Amber breathed a sigh of relief and patted her hands, saying, "The prince is not a lustful person. He is just a man, and he is in a high position. It is inevitable that he has to socialize outside. It's just a show. Don't take it seriously."

Qin Xiaoning said, "I didn't take it too seriously. I understand all of this and I know it clearly. When he came back that day, I smelled the scent of powder on him, so I took it out and asked the maids to wash it. That irritated him, and he got angry with me and scolded me."

"Hey, the prince is good in every way, except that he has a bad temper." Amber sighed and advised, "Okay, it's not a big deal, it's over, don't make a fuss about it anymore, the prince only has you in his heart, you should know this better than anyone else, I see that the prince has been very busy recently, you should be more tolerant of him."

Qin Xiaoning nodded: "I'm fine. It's getting late. Sister Amber, you should go and rest." Then she urged Songzhi: "I'm going to sleep now, you should go to sleep too."

Seeing that Qin Xiaoning was getting better, Amber left the back porch and went to the main house to report to Lu Ji.

When Lu Ji saw Humber, he asked anxiously without waiting for her to speak, "Are people still crying?"

Amber replied: "I stopped crying a long time ago and have fallen asleep."

Hearing this, Lu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and gave Amber a satisfied smile: "You still have a way."

Then he asked again, "What method did you use?"

Amber said, "Miss Qin is good-tempered and sensible. She will calm down if she is coaxed a little." Then, she smiled faintly at Lu Ji, "It's just that the prince is too impatient to coax her."
