I was kicked out of the house and became a princess.

"Have you gotten up early to drink your black tea? The morning air in the Xinyan Temple is too cold, which is not good for your health."

When Luo Xi hugged Ma Xin's arm, the latter blushed, coughed twice, and asked in a low voice.

"Drink it. You have the power of Xinyan in your body. It will be much more comfortable to be around you."

Luo Xi smiled brightly. Even though she knew what it meant for her to accompany him today, and even though she hadn't decided whether or not to stay with Ma Qin all the time, she still got up early and came here before him and waited quietly.

"Why don't you listen?"

Ma Xin seemed to remember what he said to Luo Xi yesterday.

"No way, I can't sleep."

Luo Xi smiled playfully.

"I'll try to get the memorial service over as quickly as possible so you can go back and catch up on your sleep."

Ma Xin didn't want to let her go back now.

"I'm fine. This memorial is very important to you. I know that. Okay, let's get started."

Seeing that the important officials around had recovered from their shock and were beginning to gather around Qiao Xiyue's grave to prepare for the memorial service, Luo Xi whispered a reminder.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

Ma Xin sighed, and calmly controlled Xin Yan's power to make himself warmer.

He didn't know what happened after he left yesterday that made Luo Xi change her mind, and Ma Xin didn't believe Luo Xi when she said she couldn't sleep.

If one really wants to get to the bottom of it, perhaps it was the boy who looked very similar to Ma Xin that Luo Xi dreamed of last night. He also saw a girl who looked very similar to himself. He saw them secretly getting married, saw them getting angry because of a conflict, saw them parting ways because of the maid's interference, and also saw the girl committing suicide in her boudoir out of guilt, just to say to him when she met him in the next life, "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

When she woke up from the dream, Luo Xi thought of Ma Xin. When she asked about Qizhi, Qizhi's answer was: past life and present life. At that moment, she was very interested in Ma Xin's story, and also wanted to know what the relationship was between herself and the girl who looked very similar to herself. Because Qizhi did not tell her the answer, he just told her that the time had not come yet.

The wind in the early morning was very cool. Even though Luo Xi had been staying by Ma Qin's side, she still felt a little chilly. Plus, she was not wearing a waistcoat, which made her already pale face even paler.

The memorial service did not take too long, probably because many things had been done yesterday, and it was over in less than an hour.

"According to etiquette, I should entertain you with a grand banquet today. However, Luo Xi is ill now, so please forgive me for any inconvenience. I will come to your house to apologize another day."

Ma Xin bowed slightly to the important officials, with a hint of apology in his tone. After all, most of the important officials who came today were already quite old, and he was already very satisfied that they could still come to attend the memorial service.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Miss Luo is in poor health and needs to rest more. We cannot stay here for long."

The important officials bowed and said goodbye politely.

Watching the important minister walk away, Ma Xin glanced at Luo Xi, whose hands were already frozen, with a displeased look, then took her arm and walked towards her room.

"I won't care about you next time you do this."

Looking at the little girl still smiling behind him, Ma Xin became even more angry.

When he walked not far from the door of the room, Ma Xin saw two maids standing at the door guarding an empty room.

"Go get two basins of hot water!"

There was a hint of anger in Ma Xin's tone.

"promise."

He opened the door and walked in, asked Luo Xi to sit on the edge of the bed first, and then he went to the table and touched the teapot. Finding that the tea was not cold, he made her a cup of tea.

"Drink it. I really owe you in my previous life. Who is taking care of whom?"

Luo Xi took the steaming hot tea and drank it slowly. She didn't feel annoyed when listening to Ma Xin's words. From time to time, she would steal a glance at Ma Xin who was sitting alone at the table sulking.

"What are you thinking about?"

Luo Xi was a little confused. After all, everything was done, so what was there to worry about?

"I'm thinking about you. How can I explain to them what happened today?"

Ma Xin wanted to get angry, but seeing her smiling face, he couldn't bring himself to scold her.

dong dong dong.

The knock on the door interrupted Ma Xin's thoughts.

"Come in!"

Squeak.

Two maids carefully brought in two wooden barrels filled with hot water, but didn't know where to put them, and stood there awkwardly in the room.

"Put one next to the bed and the other here with me, can't you read my instructions?"

Seeing that Ma Xin couldn't bear to scold her and instead scolded the maid, Luo Xi felt a little dissatisfied. She stood up and was about to take the wooden basin filled with hot water from the maid.

"Don't move, let them move it. You've been in the palace for how long and you can't read a word. If you do this again next time, go back to where you came from!"

Ma Xin's voice suddenly rose and his words scared Luo Xi so much that she sat back on the bed.

The maid quickly placed one wooden basin beside the bed and another beside the table and then left.

"Will you soak your feet?"

Ma Xin found two towels from the closet and asked the girl beside the bed.

Luo Xi pouted, took off her shoes and put her feet into the basin. The water seemed to be a little hot, causing her to cry out.

Hey, I don’t even know how to test the water temperature…

Ma Xin shook his head helplessly and absorbed some of the heat from the hot water.

"Wash it yourself after soaking it."

Ma Xin threw a towel to Luo Xi, then put the remaining towel in hot water, wrung it dry, and used it to wipe Luo Xi's arms and face.

"Feeling better?"

Luo Xi stared at his figure blankly, remembering the boy who looked very similar to him in her dream last night. He soaked the feet of his beloved girl, wiped her body, and took care of her to sleep. His back looked very similar to Ma Xin.

"much better."

Luo Xi came to his senses and nodded.

Seeing that her face was no longer as pale as when she came back, Ma Xin took a waistcoat for her and placed it on a chair next to the bed before leaving.

"After you soak, take a nap. We'll be ready to go back tomorrow."

"Uh-huh."

As soon as he walked out of the room, Ma Xin ran into Mark Bass who was sitting and having a drink not far from the room.

"How long have you been watching?"

Ma Xin sat down next to him without any hesitation, snatched the wine glass from his hand and drank it all.

"Not long. I just happened to see you bringing her back."

Markbas was not annoyed. He took out the small wine flask beside him, filled it up, and drank it all in one gulp just like Ma Xin.

"do you like it?"

"Come on, which eye of yours can tell what I like?"

Ma Xin glanced at him unhappily.

"If you hadn't plotted against her, would I be here to clean up your mess at this time?"

"hehe."

Markbas did not refute. Ever since he knew about Ma Xin and Luo Xi's past lives, he was prepared to let things take their course. This was the experience he gained from Ma Xin and Yingying.
