Chapter 374: Where is the Madam
The lamp shadows are flickering, the Young Master is walking at night.
Wang Yang, wearing a woven gold cloud beast robe, led Kong Zhangyu and a team of Prince's Mansion guards, swaggering, passing through corridors and pavilions, to pick up Xie Xinghan. Wherever they passed, the servants avoided them, and the guards saluted.
The soldiers on guard in the courtyard had already received orders. Seeing the black and gold brocade pattern surging in the lantern light, they all stood sideways and bowed, eyes lowered. Who dared to stop them?
But no one expected that Wang Yang was still blocked by a door.
"Little Ning, open the door, it's me!"
"I know! It's Young Master Wang, woo woo!"
"Then open the door!"
"..."
"What?"
Wang Yang looked confused, standing outside the door in a daze.
Little Xie looked anxious, gesturing tightly inside the door!
Little Ning hurriedly changed her words:
"Not turn, just, is—"
Little Ning looked back at the gestures her madam was making, her brows furrowing tighter and tighter—
What?
I also want to ask!
Madam, what exactly are you gesturing?!
Xie Xinghan was anxious, her soft hands closed virtually by her lips, using a breathy voice to remind Little Ning.
Little Ning suddenly realized:
"Reply!"
Xie Xinghan inhaled!
Stupid Little Ning, stupid to death!
Wang Yang was even more confused:
"Reply what?"
Little Ning didn't know either, and looked at Xie Xinghan again.
Xie Xinghan had no choice but to stand on tiptoe, hunch her waist, walk a few steps closer, and whisper:
"Go! Home!"
Little Ning finally understood:
"Go home!"
Xie Xinghan nodded hurriedly!
Wang Yang still didn't understand:
"I am here to take you home."
Xie Xinghan pointed to herself, shook her hands, and pointed outside the door.
Little Ning understood:
"Not back to the Xie family, back to your house."
Xie Xinghan almost stumbled on the spot!
Wang Yang didn't dare to be sure:
"Want... want to go back to my house??"
Little Ning guessed and fumbled, already a bit dizzy:
"Is... it?"
Kong Zhangyu outside the door and several guards standing close by all had strange expressions.
Xie Xinghan inside the door wanted to pinch Little Ning's throat!
She slipped a few steps forward, pulled Little Ning in front of her, and whispered something in Little Ning's ear.
Wang Yang heard the movement and called out:
"Madam Xie? Is it Madam Xie?"
"No!" Little Ning was forced to tell a lie, "My madam is too sleepy—ah—she read books all night yesterday, so she is too sleepy and has already rested for a long time. Young Master, you'd better go back to the mansion first—"
Wang Yang was suspicious and deliberately said:
"What what? I didn't hear clearly, too dizzy? That's illness, it can't be delayed! I'm coming in now!"
"No no! No illness! Young Master—"
"Little Ning, move aside, I'm breaking the door! I hope you will forgive me for the offense!"
After all, it was Xie Xinghan's bedroom. Wang Yang weighed it slightly and waved to the guards behind him:
"You step back."
Kong Zhangyu didn't know what was going on inside. Logically speaking, since Xie Xinghan lived in the Prince's Mansion, her safety was naturally the responsibility of the Prince's Mansion. It was not appropriate for someone to break in hard, right? But looking at the Prince's meaning, it seemed that even if Wang Yang executed the Xie family woman on the spot, he wouldn't care. Besides, between Wang and Xie, young men and women, who knew what was going on? Just let them mess around, and if something happened, don't scrape it on him. So he very sensibly stayed away from the door.
Just as Wang Yang was about to kick the door, Little Ning opened half the door with a creak and said hurriedly:
"Young Master, don't—"
Before the words were finished, Wang Yang had already rushed in one step, his eyes swept quickly, and then he lifted his legs and rushed inside:
"Madam Xie? Madam Xie? I am worried about your safety, so I was rude for a moment, please don't blame me!"
Little Ning had to close the door first, isolating all the outside gazes. Then she chased after Wang Yang and said "Young Master Wang, stay!"
Wang Yang's suspicion had arisen, and he wouldn't be at ease until he saw Xie Xinghan with his own eyes. No matter what, he strode forward and rushed straight into the inner hall!
"Young Master! Young Master, how—"
Wang Yang's footsteps stopped.
The inner hall was clear at a glance, and there was no figure at all!
The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, the bed curtains were half-rolled, the candle on the desk was not extinguished, and the lamp flower had formed a small cluster, burning quietly. Wang Yang's face changed suddenly, and three bad guesses flashed in his heart in an instant!
He turned around suddenly, looked at Little Ning, and asked in a deep voice:
"Where is she?"
Little Ning was also stupid.
Yes, where is she???
Wang Yang hadn't seen any books since he entered, so Little Ning's previous statement about "reading books all night" was all nonsense!
Could it be that the Prince of Badong was playing some tricks because he refused his proposal? Could it be that something happened last night?
His eyes turned cold, he stepped forward, and grabbed Little Ning's wrist:
"I'll ask one more time, where is your madam?"
Little Ning had never seen such a murderous look in Wang Yang's eyes, and she trembled all over:
"I, I..."
"I am here..."
A small cat-like voice sounded weakly.
Wang Yang was overjoyed!!!
He hurriedly let go of Little Ning and turned back to look!
I saw a porcelain-white small face with a bit of fear appearing from behind the floor-to-ceiling curtain separating the inner hall and the outer hall. Her crow-black hair was slightly messy, the tip of her nose was red, her appearance was pitiful, and her body was tightly hidden behind the curtain.
Wang Yang's hanging heart finally landed, and he couldn't help but smile, stepped forward and said:
"Why are you—"
"Don't come over!" Xie Xinghan said hurriedly, her star eyes stained with a bit of panic, and her body shrank behind the curtain again.
Wang Yang saw Xie Xinghan's nervous expression, clearly afraid of himself, and felt a strange astringency in his heart, but the smile on his face did not fade, and he stopped as promised, asking warmly:
"What's wrong?"
Xie Xinghan immediately realized that what she said made Wang Yang misunderstand, and hurriedly explained:
"I'm not afraid of you, mainly... is... is..."
Little Xie's voice became smaller and smaller, her ears became redder and redder, her fingers twisted the edge of the curtain back and forth, and the words behind could not be said.
Wang Yang was also a bit depressed. This was like raising a kitten at home, originally playing very well with himself, but after half a semester of class, when he went home, the cat didn't recognize him! That has to be—
Hey, what are you thinking, this cat is so expensive, it's like you can afford to raise it...
Wang Yang adjusted his mentality, looked at the curtain where Little Xie was hiding, and said seriously:
"It seems you really like this curtain. Or I'll find someone to take the curtain down, wrap it around you, wrap it a few times, and you can hold it and go home..."
Xie Xinghan's star eyes suddenly brightened!
Wang Yang was also shocked.
He was originally teasing Xie Xinghan with this, but who knew that he actually read a trace of approval in Little Xie's eyes! It seemed that this proposal really suited her heart! Is this some hidden aesthetic interest of the aristocratic family?
But fortunately, Little Xie's star eyes only brightened for a moment, but soon dimmed again. It seemed that she was not ready to implement it.
"Then we have to come up with a solution! We can't stay here all the time, right?"
Xie Xinghan pulled the corner of the curtain, hesitated for a long time, before whispering:
"You... um um... Little Ning... um not um..."
"What me? What Little Ning?" Wang Yang didn't hear clearly.
Xie Xinghan's cheeks were hotter, and she amplified the volume a bit, whispering like a mosquito:
"You smell Little Ning..."
Little Ning: щ(゜ロ゜щ)
Wang Yang didn't ask much, first apologized to Little Ning, saying that he was anxious just now and had offended her. He brought a gift for Little Ning this time, but didn't bring it with him, and would give it to her later. Then he said that he had to offend her again because of the situation. Then he pretended to follow Xie Xinghan's words and leaned over to smell.
Little Ning stood there completely blushing, both caught off guard by her own madam selling her directly, and didn't expect Wang Yang to apologize to a little maid for such a small thing! And didn't expect that the Young Master of the Langya Wang clan, the number one talent in Jingzhou, would bring her a gift?!
Wang Yang smelled it and said blankly:
"Did you ask me to smell perfume? You know, I'm not very..."
Xie Xinghan's spirit was lifted! Busy asking:
"Didn't you smell any strange smell?"
"No! What smell are you referring to?"
First of all, Wang Yang just used his position to make Xie Xinghan feel that he was sniffing carefully, but in fact he didn't get very close. Secondly, Xie Xinghan and Little Ning hadn't been locked up for long, but Xie Xinghan was clean, and many girls were the kind of creatures who felt they would explode if they didn't wash fragrant. So although she bought all the incense and other things, ventilated and wiped her body, it still exceeded Xie Xinghan's limit of tolerance. But she still held a last glimmer of luck, what if, what if he couldn't smell it?
As for the last, whether Wang Yang really identified any strange smell, I'm afraid only he himself knows.
Although Xie Xinghan believed it a little, for some reason, she still didn't want to come out.
Wang Yang scared her:
"How about this, let's leave the Prince's Mansion first and then discuss the perfume problem. Otherwise, if the Prince of Badong suddenly changes his mind, we won't be able to leave! Little Ning, hurry up and persuade your madam!"
Little Ning persuaded very obediently, half-persuading and half-dragging, while Wang Yang half-coaxed and half-deceived, and finally got little Xie, who "image is greater than heaven," out from behind the curtain.
And Wang Yang saw Xie Xinghan cosplaying as a maid, and was stunned for a moment.
Xie Xinghan didn't dare to look at Wang Yang, lowered her head, tears gushed out without warning, rolling down her cheeks. The sorrow, fear, grievance, and helplessness that she had held back for so long finally broke out at this moment, and she cried out:
"I'm so ugly now..."
Looking at Wang Yang's pitying expression, Little Ning knew that the "complaint" opportunity she had been waiting for for so long was finally coming! ===== CHAPTER 375 =====
"Like this, let's discuss the issue of the face powder after we leave the Prince's mansion. Otherwise, if the Prince of Badong suddenly changes his mind, we won't be able to leave! Xiao Ning, hurry and persuade your mistress!"
Xiao Ning obediently went to persuade her, half-persuading and half-dragging, while Wang Yang half-coaxed and half-deceived, finally getting the "image-is-everything" little Xie out from behind the curtains.
And when Wang Yang saw Xie Xinghan dressed as a maid, he was stunned for a moment.
Xie Xinghan did not dare to meet Wang Yang's eyes. She lowered her head, and tears gushed out without warning, rolling down her cheeks. The sorrow, fear, grievances, and helplessness she had suppressed for so long finally erupted at this moment, and she burst into tears with a wail:
"I'm so ugly right now..."
Looking at Wang Yang's expression of pity and affection, Xiao Ning knew that the opportunity to "file a complaint" she had been waiting for so long had finally arrived!
