Chapter 577 Don’t you like her? Keep her for yourself!
In the crowd, Chu Yanluo was wearing a black robe with a large hood covering her face, which also concealed the deep hatred on her face.
A few days ago, Xiao Qingyuan went to Jixin Temple to find her, to test whether she had been reborn.
Of course she couldn't admit it, so she pretended to be confused and fooled him.
Today she sought cooperation from Shen Wantang for revenge, but was rejected by Shen Wantang. She was very angry and felt that Shen Wantang was too disrespectful to her.
But now seeing Xiao Qingyuan, she felt that it was just as well that Shen Wantang rejected her. A man like Xiao Qingyuan was not worthy of marrying Shen Wantang. Having Shen Wantang help him manage the palace and cure Princess Ning's headache was too good for him!
He should marry a woman who can bring disaster to the entire palace and tear it apart!
Chu Yanluo was thinking when she was suddenly bumped into by someone. She turned around unhappily, only to see that the person who accidentally bumped into her was Huayi.
She clenched her fists immediately. Great, another enemy from the previous life!
Her enemies came to her one after another!
If Huayi hadn't done something bad in her previous life, Xiao Qingyuan wouldn't have gotten tired of her so quickly, let alone kicked her out of his yard!
Huayi's mind was all on Xiao Qingyuan, and she didn't notice Chu Yanluo at all.
She pushed through the crowd, went straight up to the second floor, and walked to Xiao Qingyuan: "This servant greets the prince."
When Xiao Qingyuan saw her, he was slightly stunned: "Why are you here?"
Huayi immediately knelt down and said, "Please take me in, my lord. I have nowhere else to go."
"What do you mean you have nowhere to go? Didn't I already give you to Shen Wantang?"
"This servant is crude and stupid, and I am not liked by the Second Young Lady. I have been driven out by her."
Huayi raised her head and looked at Xiao Qingyuan pitifully as she spoke: "Please give me a chance to live, my lord. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to be able to serve you."
Xiao Qingyuan frowned. Looking at Huayi's fair and delicate face, she didn't look crude or stupid at all. He didn't believe that Shen Wantang would kick Huayi out because of this.
If he had not been reborn, he might have been moved by her charming appearance. Unfortunately, he was reborn, and he had seen such paintings too many times in his previous life. Now she could no longer stir up any ripples in his heart.
But it’s not a good idea to just chase them away, after all, there are so many people watching!
Of course he couldn't keep her, as he was going to marry Liu Nanshi. If he kept such a beautiful maid by his side, it would be bad if Nanshi misunderstood that he had other intentions.
"Ahem, Gu Qianhan."
"what happened?"
"What do you think of me as a maid?"
"not so good."
"Not so good? Are you still pretending to me? Do you know that in your last life you snatched her from our palace and brought her back to your Duke's Mansion? You loved her to the point of going crazy!"
Gu Qianhan sneered, "There are a lot of maids like this in our Duke's Mansion. Why would I go to your palace to snatch a maid? Xiao Qingyuan, you can make up a lie that is more convincing. If you want to trick me into taking over the maid you don't want anymore, you have to practice for another 500 years!"
"What I said is true! You really stole the painting!"
"What you said can't be true, because I never use maids. The people serving me are all servants. Don't you know that?"
"I know, but..."
"Wait a minute, Xiao Qingyuan, aren't you the only servant left with Mo Ji? When did you get another maid?"
"She's not my maid, she's my mother's maid!"
"So, what you mean is that I was living a good life, but I became insane and ran to Prince Ning's mansion and snatched away your mother's maid?"
Xiao Qingyuan was so confused that he said hurriedly, "You didn't take away my mother's maid, you took away my maid! Huayi was later given to Shen Wantang by my mother, and Shen Wantang gave her to me! Oh, I married Shen Wantang in my previous life. I have already told you this, right?"
Gu Qianhan looked at him indifferently: "That's even more impossible. If I want to rob someone, I should rob your wife. Why would I rob your maid? Is this maid a supernatural being?"
"No, you have no interest in my wife at all. Because I don't like Shen Wantang, you are too lazy to snatch her!"
"So, I stole your maid because you like her?"
"Yes! Yes, yes, that's it!"
Gu Qianhan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why did you spend so much time on this? Why didn't you just say that you liked this maid earlier?"
Xiao Qingyuan was overjoyed: "So you are willing to accept the painting?"
"No, I won't."
The smile on Xiao Qingyuan's face froze: "What?!"
"Qingyuan, you and I are good brothers. As long as it's something you like, I won't take it and leave it all to you, such as Miss Liu and this maid."
"But, but you weren't like this in your previous life!"
"Qing Yuan, you're talking nonsense again. There's no such thing as a past life. Even if there is, we must be good brothers. How could I steal the person you like? If you say something like that again, I'll be angry."
Xiao Qingyuan had a lot of words stuck in his chest, which made him feel very uncomfortable. After a long while, he finally asked with determination: "You really don't want to be a painter?"
"No, don't you like her? Keep her for yourself! After you get married, you can take her as a concubine. In the future, you will have many wives and concubines and enjoy the happiness of having all the wives and concubines!"
After Gu Qianhan finished speaking, he took Jixiang away.
Xiao Qingyuan looked at Gu Qianhan's back, then looked down at the kneeling Hua Yi, and felt quite bad.
Why has nothing ever gone smoothly for him since he was reborn?
Huayi stretched out her carefully maintained white and slender hands and grabbed Xiao Qingyuan's brocade robe: "My lord, I can do anything. Please don't chase me away, I beg you..."
Xiao Qingyuan pulled his brocade robe out of Huayi's hands, his tone revealing impatience: "I have already given you to Shen Wantang, why don't you serve her well and come to me? There is no reason for me to take back what I have given away! Go back to the Shen family quickly and don't embarrass yourself here!"
After he finished speaking, he took Mo Ji and left without looking back.
Huayi hurried to chase after him, but Xiao Qingyuan got on a carriage after leaving Qingyun Tower and sped away.
She stood there in a daze, feeling a little regretful in her heart. She shouldn't have had such delusional thoughts. She thought that she could make Xiao Qingyuan pity her with her outstanding looks, but she seemed to have underestimated Xiao Qingyuan's resistance to beauty.
If she had known this earlier, she should have learned from Qin Xin, Qi Yu and the others, been smarter, and served Shen Wantang obediently. If Shen Wantang could marry into a wealthy family in the future, with her beauty, she would definitely be able to become a concubine for her brother-in-law.
As she was thinking, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind her: "Do you want to be Xiao Qingyuan's concubine? I can help you."
