He was now in severe pain again. He had stood outside Qifeng Hall for so long, and now he was almost exhausted. His face was pale and colorless, and he had no strength to say anything more.
Li Xue supported him all the way back to Qingchen Residence. Not only Xiao Yunheng was covered in cold sweat, but Li Xue was also tired, hot, and sweating profusely.
But in order to remain virtuous, she had to fetch water to wipe Xiao Yunheng's body first.
The moment Li Xue walked out with the basin, she wanted to throw the basin out and crush it to pieces!
Damn Yun Zishu, you little bitch.
Who will serve her as a slave and a maid, and who will treat her as a cow or a horse? If possible, she would like to curse Yun Zishu to die immediately, be struck by lightning from the sky, and be struck by five thunders!
Li Xue took a deep breath, took the basin and turned around towards the kitchen.
Xiao Yunheng was lying alone on the bed, with Yun Zishu's cold and indifferent face in his mind. Thinking of the stubbornness and indifference that showed up on her face, he felt strange in his heart.
Yun Zishu and Li Xue have two completely different personalities.
One is aloof and cold, the other is kind and weak.
One is a member of the royal family, and the other is his cousin.
In the past, Xiao Yunheng only saw Li Xue's gentleness, consideration, and understanding, but could not see Yun Zishu's compromise, but when the person who complied with compromise completely changed his attitude, he felt a little...
Xiao Yunheng closed his eyes and found that he was actually a little happy at Yun Zishu's request to let him divorce Li Xue - although he would not really divorce Li Xue.
But this request can at least prove that she still cares about him in her heart.
Besides, he did not do a good job at the beginning. He only listened to Li Xue's words without any basis and made Yun Zishu suffer unfair injustice. No one would be able to bear such injustice, so she has a temper.
normal.
Xiao Yunheng decided to go and apologize to her tomorrow.
Women are made of water. As long as he is sincere, Yun Zishu will be softened by him sooner or later.
The sound of footsteps interrupted his thoughts.
"Woo, this is really too much!" Li Xue walked in with water, her eyes were red, her voice was garbled, her face was full of anger and grievance, "Are the people in the kitchen crazy about money? I just asked them for something.
Some hot water, they actually charge money for hot water... Are you going to let people live this day?"
Xiao Yunheng opened his eyes and looked at Li Xue's face full of resentment. In the past, he only thought it was lovely and touching, and I felt pity for it. But during this time, he saw many expressions on her face besides tenderness, such as anger.
, blame, complain, dissatisfaction, shame...
Yes, shame.
Every time she brought some food from the kitchen that she liked but he couldn't eat, she would look at him with an innocent, pitiful and ashamed look. Xiao Yunheng had seen these expressions from her so many times in the past two days, and it seemed that he had never seen them again.
Instead of the previous heartache, there was only endless boredom and unspeakable frustration.
"Yun Zishu is deliberately making things difficult for us. The maids are not sent here. The food is extremely shabby and has no oil or water at all. It doesn't matter whether Xueer eats it or not. But Brother Heng is injured. How...how can you go through such trouble?"
Li Xue didn't notice Xiao Yunheng's eyes, and she cried with grievance as she spoke. She raised her hands to wipe away her tears, "She leaves us here to fend for ourselves every day. She just wants to take revenge on us -"
Xiao Yunheng said: "Retaliation is also appropriate."
"What?" Li Xue was stunned and turned to look at Xiao Yunheng in surprise, with tears still in her eyes, "Brother Heng?"
Xiao Yunheng stared at her face, which was as weak and harmless as usual: "If you do something wrong, you should bear the consequences, right?"
Li Xue's face changed slightly and she bit her lip: "But...but she..."
"She is a princess, and her status is indeed more noble than yours." Xiao Yunheng told her this fact calmly, "If she really wants to take revenge on you, even if she has people come over to beat you, scold you and punish you every day, or even starve you for three days, you have to
You get it, don’t you?”
Li Xue's face turned pale: "I..."
"But she didn't do that." After Xiao Yunheng said this, he remembered that Yun Zishu had never done anything excessive.
Although the divorce letter was given to him, it was still caused by excessive anger in the desperate situation.
She asked people to take Li Xue to the Shadow Pavilion, thinking that at least Li Xue would learn a lesson, but Li Xue walked out of the Shadow Pavilion intact, without any skin injuries.
She is just cold-mouthed, but her heart is not poisonous at all.
Instead, he and his mother abused and humiliated her every time, calling her a vicious woman. In fact, she had never done anything vicious and had suffered what she shouldn't have endured.
And the reason why all this happened was because she was an unpopular princess and no one in the royal family supported her.
Xiao Yunheng was finally willing to reflect on himself and decided to treat Yun Zishu well in the future.
"Xue'er, please be more respectful in front of her from now on." Xiao Yunheng said lightly, "She is the princess, you are the courtier, she is the wife, and you are the concubine. No matter what your status is, you should not be disrespectful to her.
"
Li Xue squeezed the towel tightly, feeling unwilling again.
Princess?
Is an unfavored princess still a princess?
What about the head wife? After getting married, didn’t she still stay alone in the empty house for nearly two months? If her mother-in-law doesn’t love her and her husband doesn’t love her, even if she occupies the position of the head wife, it will be in name only.
But Li Xue couldn't say any of this.
"I understand." She bit her lip, her voice carrying a hint of tolerable grievance, "From now on, I will definitely serve the princess sister respectfully, regard the princess sister as my god, and will never fight back when hit or scolded -"
"Yun Zishu should have never scolded you or hit you." Xiao Yunheng frowned, "So you don't have to worry about this."
Li Xue's face turned pale and she couldn't help but tighten the towel in her hand. Brother Heng had already started to speak for Yun Zishu? Why?
"You don't have to think too much." Seeing her pitiful expression, Xiao Yunheng suddenly felt impatient in his heart, "As long as I am here, I will always protect you."
Li Xue lowered her head, her eyes dark and cold, then she nodded gently, quietly and obediently stepped forward to undress him and wipe him.
With her aunt here, what if Yun Zishu returns to the Xiao family? Can she still escape?
Li Xue thought gloomily that as long as Yun Zishu returned to the Xiao family, she would never have such good luck to turn around again. She must let her aunt set rules for that bitch, otherwise she would not know what was going on in the Xiao family.
Who has the final say in the house?
Xiao Yunheng didn't know what Li Xue was thinking, and was secretly thinking about how to make Yun Zishu soften his heart tomorrow. Now that he was recovering from his injuries, the use of the bitter flesh trick was within his tolerance, as long as he could make Yun Zishu soften his heart.
, it will be just around the corner to bring her back to the Xiao family.
Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually darkened.
Li Xue had stood with Xiao Yunheng outside Qifeng Hall for so long, and then waited on him when she came back. She was really exhausted and hungry, even though it wasn't dinner time yet.
But she couldn't help but go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Eat a lighter meal in the evening.
Li Xue had almost spent the broken silver she brought, and she was reluctant to take out the large amount of silver, so she went to the kitchen and only brought back a plate of vegetables and two steamed buns.
Xiao Yunheng looked at the bland meal in front of him and really lost his appetite.
"Brother Heng, let's make do with it." Li Xue saw that he had a poor appetite and said weakly, "Although the money my aunt asked me to bring is a lot, the expenses in the past two days are a bit high. I...I also
I didn’t expect that the cook at the Princess Mansion was so open-minded. She had to pay for meat every time she wanted to eat it. This..."
Her eyes flashed slightly, and she said tentatively, "How about I tell the princess sister that the cook deliberately deducted our food? Let's see what the princess sister says?"
