Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 137

She knew this attitude wasn't good, but when the Jing Prince spoke she had a sense of foreboding. She felt her heart beating wildly in her chest, and couldn't help but start to panic.

The Jing Prince's expression was wretched. He pulled her over and held her in his arms, "Listen to me. I'll come fetch you after a few days."

"Why won't you let me ask?"

"Why do I have to listen to you?"

"Why? Just why?"

The string of questions made the Jing Prince silent for a long, long time. He could only stroke her back continuously.

For the first time, Xiao Hua resisted this sort of comforting. She struggled free and looked at him stubbornly.

The Jing Prince didn't meet her gaze, and merely said: "Listen to me. Live here with the children for a period of time. The people at the western pavilion will be sent over immediately, it won't be inconvenient."

"You clearly know that's not what I'm asking. Why do we have to do this? Why?"

Xiao Hua had never argued with the Jing Prince before. This was the first time she spoke so fiercely and was so stirred up. She was even a little hysterical. As she spoke, her tears couldn't help but start to flow.

"Give me a reason!"

The Jing Prince who would be apathetic even if Mt. Tai collapsed had never looked so wretched in his two lifetimes. He didn't even dare look at her face.

He had already planned this long ago. There were clearly a lot of things he had to do back at the estate, and he had clearly planned on leaving for only ten days. But he continued to drag things out, throwing everything aside just to accompany her a little longer. He just didn't know what to say....

"Speak!"

Her voice was very loud. It shocked the Jing Prince's heart into shivering, and also shocked Ding Xiang and Chun Cao who were outside the door.

They were arguing?

Madam and his highness's relationship had always been good. The two of them had never argued before, and during this trip they were both extremely happy. How did they suddenly end up arguing?

Ding Xiang patted Chun Cao and indicated for her to listen while she went and figured out what to do.

"Why don't you say anything? Does this have something to do with why we have to keep the children hidden?!"

The Jing Prince's expression was wretched as he looked in shock at Xiao Hua whose face was filled with tears.

"Is it?"

Actually Xiao Hua had already guessed it in her heart. She could never figure out why he did things so weirdly, especially regarding their two children. Such a large western pavilion, which was clearly magnificent, ended up feeling like a cage. She had everything, and wanted for nothing. But there was a gate outside the gate, and not everyone can enter. Based on the same reasoning, not everyone could leave. Only a few people could.

Regarding all this, Xiao Hua was aware of it all.

But since he didn't want her to know about it, she pretended not to know. That time he told her he didn't want others knowing about the children was the first time he had revealed anything. Ever since then, she felt a little unsettled in her heart.

Now, her unease finally became reality, but she didn't expect it to be such a scene.

She knew that he wasn't planning on abandoning the three of them. He still wanted them. But just why?
