Seeing that the time was almost up, Qi Lingying took Sizhu and said goodbye. She had sneaked out and did not dare to stay outside for too long.

Jing Yu also took Qian Xue on the return carriage. He even asked Tianxuan to find a wooden bucket and soak the fish Qian Xue caught in the water.

Qian Xue looked at the bucket of live fish on the carriage, her lips raised with joy.

Jing Yu looked amused and tapped her forehead, "It's your first time seeing a live fish? Do you need to be so happy?"

Qianxue rubbed her forehead, but her smile did not fade away, "Back to the young master, although this is not the first time I have seen a live fish, this fish is caught by me personally, so everything is very meaningful."

Seeing that her mood finally improved, Jing Yu thought of continuing the previous topic and mentioning her a few more words to prevent her from getting into trouble again later.

"From now on, please don't say anything to me to avoid suspicion. Qi Liu, she will become a family with us in the future, and she will treat you kindly. If you spend more time with her, you will gradually develop feelings for her."

The corners of Qianxue's lips that had been raised slowly flattened, and she lost interest in watching the fish. She just lowered her head and answered dully.

"A slave is just a servant, how dare he call his master family to each other."

When Jing Yu saw her looking aggrieved and depressed again, his forehead began to hurt.

"Did I spoil you too much and make you forget what your duty is?"

As soon as Jing Yu said the words, he couldn't help but panic in his heart. He accidentally said his true words.

The reason why he brought Qian Xue over in the first place was indeed because he felt responsible for taking advantage of another girl's body. However, during these days and nights together, his treatment of her has long been more than just a responsibility, and it has become more of a relationship between a man and a woman.

Qianxue was stung by Jing Yu's words. She had always been cautious in front of Jing Yu. When had she dared to speak out of bounds? When did you fail to follow your duty?

She looked at Jing Yu with eyes full of grievance and surprise, and her rebuttal voice was slightly choked.

"I don't want to get close to you in front of Miss Qi Liu today, and I have spoken to you to dissuade you. Every word of my words comes from the bottom of my heart. I have never exceeded my duty as a slave."

Jing Yu's face turned blue at Qian Xue's words.

"Am I talking about your role as a slave? I'm talking about your duty as a concubine!"

妾?

Qianxue was confused by Jing Yu's words. What kind of concubine is not a concubine? When did this happen?

"Slave..."

Before Qian Xue finished speaking, she was directly interrupted by Jing Yu.

"What slave? Do you really think I will let you be a slave for the rest of your life?"

Jing Yu's chest rose and fell slightly, and when he looked at Qian Xue, his eyes expressed confusion and annoyance.

Qianxue was so confused by Jing Yu's series of words that she couldn't say a word for a while.

Jing Yu leaned tiredly against the wall of the car, pinching his brows, "I said I won't treat you badly. It's never an empty word. Even when I chose Qi Liu, it was because of her magnanimous temperament and tolerance. In the future, you You won’t get fucked up in the backyard…”

He raised his eyes and looked at Qianxue with a touch of disappointment, "Even so, you are still dissatisfied with me."

Qianxue felt that she had not been clear-headed tonight, she? To Jing Yu? dissatisfied?

How dare she be dissatisfied with Jing Yu?

Qianxue let out a long sigh and closed her eyes to collect her emotions. She felt that Jing Yu was talking nonsense just now, and he definitely didn't mean what she thought. "Master... I have received your favor and become your personal maid, which is already my blessing. I have never thought of having the title of your concubine."

Qian Xue said everything she said sincerely, but in Jing Yu's ears, it turned out to be a rhetoric that threatens her reputation by using retreat to advance.

Since the double wedding banquet, Qianxue thought Jingxuan had taken over her body, so she always used these words to hint that Jingxuan would give her a status. He had heard this more than once or twice.

He tried hard to suppress his rising anger and spoke as softly as possible, "Your current status of having a maid next to you is only temporary. When I live in another house, I will give you a status. Don't worry, before that, I I won’t let other people in my courtyard deceive you.”

Jing Yu repeated what he said countless times, hoping to appease Qian Xue's inner uneasiness.

Seeing Qian Xue looking at him blankly, Jing Yu couldn't help but tone his voice a little louder.

"What else do you want from me? Can I create a document for you, write down everything I said, and then sign it and seal it?"

Qianxue watched Jing Yu's mouth open and close, and suddenly felt that everything was wrong.

Didn't the young master promise her that he would let her out of the house after he opened the house? Why did it become the title of concubine given to her?

She squeezed the clothes loosely with her hands, and then, in Jing Yu's angry eyes, she finally mustered up the courage to confess her plan to leave home to Jing Yu one by one.

"I know that my qualifications are dull and my status is low. I have never expected to be your concubine. I also understand that the reason why you have not given me the status of your concubine is because you are afraid that I will be criticized and live a difficult life after I leave the house."

She knelt directly in front of Jing Yu, her eyes firm and her back straight.

"I know that it is extremely absurd for me to have a son and leave the house. However, the young master is kind-hearted and agreed to my request, allowing me to have this delusion."

Jing Yu suddenly lost his temper and just looked at Qian Xue quietly, wanting to see what other ridiculous things she could say.

Seeing that Jing Yu didn't respond to her, Qian Xue continued to persuade her, "You and Miss Qi have matching family backgrounds and similar interests. They are a match made in heaven. If you get married, it will be harmonious and happy. Why should you let a stone like a servant stand between you?"

She had tears in her eyes, and even kowtowed when she said this.

"Get up first." Jing Yu's tone was so calm that no emotion could be heard.

Qianxue, however, buried her head on the ground, seemingly planning to fight to the end.

Jing Yu took a deep breath, raised his hand and pulled the person up, then threw him on the seat.

He didn't dare to look at Qian Xue, for fear that the emotions surging in his heart would be seen by her through his eyes, making him look like a joke.

"What you said to me are just angry words, right?" Jing Yu's tone was bitter, and it was rare for him to feel a little unconfident.

"What I said, I thought carefully about every word, and I meant every word sincerely." Qianxue's voice was not loud, but she refused to compromise even a step.

Jing Yu looked at Qian Xue, trying to find any clue that she was just having a bad temper, but found nothing.

He didn't understand, what was the intimacy and companionship of these days? Is it Qianxue's repayment of kindness, or is it the way she was trained by Zhao to play with men?

He has been thinking carefully these days, trying to find ways to inspect Qi Liu, and stating the pros and cons in front of the fourth prince. Even when his friends advised him not to praise Ai Qixue too much to avoid a bad reputation in the future, he didn't care.

I'm just afraid that Qianxue will be teased by her mistress in the future and suffer from the strife in the backyard.
