Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 635 Who will be sad if I die?

A deep fear was revealed on Huayi's beautiful face. She stepped forward tremblingly, grasped Xiao Qingyuan's wrist, and said with tears in her eyes, "My Lord, I'm sorry. I was just following orders. Please don't blame me."

However, Xiao Qingyuan didn't take her seriously at all. He just felt that Huayi looked pitiful, as if she had been severely tortured by Liu Nanshi.

He looked at Liu Nanshi: "Huayi is so fragile, why are you so harsh to her? If you want me to leave, I will leave. Why are you making things difficult for an innocent maid like her? You are such a kind and generous lady praised by everyone. You are so petty!"

After he said that, he wanted to take his wrist out of Huayi's hand, but he tried three times and failed to break free!

The soft, boneless hand that held his wrist clamped his arm tightly like a pair of pliers, making him unable to move!

He looked up in astonishment: "Huayi, you, what are you doing——"

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing him being restrained, Liu Nanshi laughed joyfully, "Xiao Qingyuan, what do you think? Do you still think that painting is worthless? Do you still think I'm just picking up discarded trash?"

Xiao Qingyuan didn't believe it and tried his best to free his wrist, but no matter how he struggled, no matter how much strength he used, Huayi just stood there, motionless!

Even though his wrist was about to break, Huayi still looked weak and effortless!

He screamed, "No! This is impossible!"

Liu Nanshi stood up, walked up to him, and looking at his shocked and unbelievable expression, she finally felt a little proud.

"Xiao Qingyuan, I bought Huayi from Shen Wantang, but it cost me a thousand taels of silver. Do you think Shen Wantang didn't want to keep Huayi? Wrong! Absolutely wrong! Shen Wantang was timid and cowardly. She discovered Huayi's immense power and was afraid she might harm her, so she quickly sold her for a high price!"

Xiao Qingyuan thought he had misheard: "What did you say? One thousand taels of silver? To buy a maid? You have so much silver that you don't know where to spend it?"

"Why, you don't think it's worth it?"

"Of course it's not worth it! If a good person spends a thousand taels to buy a maid, I will say that you took the one million taels of silver that County Magistrate Ye embezzled, and you still refuse to admit it!"

Liu Nanshi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "I said I didn't take it! Could it be that I can't even come up with a thousand taels of silver? Our Mansion isn't that poor! If you frame me again, I'll have Huayi break your ribs!"

"I'm willing to spend a thousand taels to buy Huayi because she's more than just a maid. She's incredibly strong and can be my personal bodyguard! If anyone dares to do anything bad to me again, Huayi can kill them with a single punch!"

"Shen Wantang was so foolish as to sell such a talent for only one thousand taels. Of course, you are even more foolish. You actually gave Hua Yi directly to Shen Wantang!"

Xiao Qingyuan ignored her ridicule. He looked at Hua Yi with a strange look in his eyes: "Have you always been this strong? Why didn't you tell me?"

Huayi still looked as gentle as water: "Sir, I dare not say it, for fear of being regarded as a monster. I..."

"okay!"

Liu Nanshi hated Huayi's pretentious demeanor, and even more so her affectionate gaze towards Xiao Qingyuan. She interrupted Huayi and ordered, "Hualyi, lift Xiao Qingyuan up and throw him out!"

Huayi hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "My Lord, I'm sorry for offending you."

After she finished speaking, she grabbed Xiao Qingyuan's wrist with one hand, grabbed his collar with the other, and lifted him above her head with one hand.

Xiao Qingyuan was horrified: "Huayi, put me down!"

He never imagined that Huayi's strength would be so great!

In her previous life, she had once used her soft, boneless hands to caress his vitals. If she wanted to harm him, couldn't she have crushed him to pieces at any time?!

In an instant, the blood color on Xiao Qingyuan's face disappeared completely!

He was now only thankful that he had a good understanding of painting, otherwise, he would have lost his life!

What kind of life had he lived in his previous life? He was so confused and muddled that he hadn't even seen any of the women around him clearly!

He misjudged Chu Yanluo, misjudged Liu Nanshi, and now he misjudged Hua Yi!

Then Shen Wantang...

Had he never seen it clearly?

Was he able to be reborn because he was so stupid that even Buddha couldn't stand it, and thus gave him a chance to see everyone clearly again?

Seeing Xiao Qingyuan pale with fear, Liu Nanshi's eyes revealed contempt. "Xiao Qingyuan, calling you a fool is flattering. You're such a loser! You're so scared! In your past life, Huayi was your maid and even pregnant with your child. You didn't even know she was as strong as an ox? You're such a joke!"

Xiao Qingyuan was rarely silent.

Soon, Huayi really threw it out.

Mo Ji, who was waiting for him outside, watched helplessly as his master was thrown out by Hua Yi. He was immediately shocked and angry: "Hualyi, why is it you? Are you crazy? How could you treat the prince like this?!"

Huayi stood there at a loss, and said pitifully, "Moji, I had no choice. I was sold to Miss Liu by Miss Shen Er. Now I have no choice but to obey Miss Liu's orders. Otherwise, I... I will have no way to survive. Otherwise, how about you help me plead with the prince and ask him to buy me back!"

Mo Ji had no time to listen to her explanation, let alone plead for her. He hurried to help Xiao Qingyuan: "Master, are you okay? Did you fall anywhere? Do you want to ask the imperial physician to check you out?"

Xiao Qingyuan was knocked unconscious after the fall. His body was covered in mud and there were weeds on his head. He looked as miserable as could be.

After being helped up by Mo Ji, he walked away blankly as if he had lost his soul.

Mo Ji hurriedly followed him: "Master, where are you going? The palace is this way, you're going the wrong way!"

"Oh, did we go the wrong way?"

Xiao Qingyuan's voice was filled with confusion and dejection: "Mo Ji, am I stupid? Why is everyone lying to me? Why is everyone wearing a mask?"

"Sir, what nonsense are you talking about? You are very smart!"

Mo Ji plucked the grass from his head and quickly brushed the dust off him. "They deceived you because they have evil intentions. You are a gentleman, how can you be compared with those villains? Don't be sad, just ignore those scammers in the future!"

In his previous life, Xiao Qingyuan would definitely be comforted by him.

But when he lived his life again, he discovered too many problems. If he had paid a little more attention, he would have been able to find clues to these problems. If he had used a little more brains, he would have been able to find the flaws of these women.

Therefore, Mo Ji's words could no longer comfort him.

"Mo Ji, tell me, if I die, who will be sad? Chu Yanluo? Liu Nanshi? Huayi? Shen Wantang?"
