"I just took the wrong road, why are you pushing me so hard, young lady?"

After the maid said this, she crawled two steps on her stomach, hugged Xu Chaoge's legs, and cried.

"Master, save me!"

"This……"

Xu Chaoge frowned, but due to courtesy he did not kick the maid away. He looked at Xu Xingyin with embarrassment.

"Who knows if she really is..."

"Absolutely impossible!"

Without waiting for Xu Chaoge to finish his words, Xu Xingyin made the final conclusion and then looked at the two servants.

"What are you standing there for? Pull that person away from me!"

Upon hearing this, the servant girl quickly stepped forward, pulled the maid off Xu Chaoge's legs, and pressed her to the ground again.

In order to prevent her from causing any more trouble, they simply stood on her left and right.

"I've given you a chance. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."

Xu Xingyin was exhausted after a long day and was too lazy to beat around the bush to interrogate the person, so he simply asked Dangui.

"Go call the housekeeper and ask him. This maid is in a death contract. If it is a death contract..."

Dangui nodded in understanding, Xu Xingyin covered his lips with his hand and yawned, then suddenly added a sentence.

"Just be more clean and don't dirty my yard while you're at it."

Everyone seemed to have heard the hidden meaning behind Xu Xingyin's words.

For slaves who have signed a death indenture, the master can beat or kill them with just a word.

Just as Xu Chaoge was about to open his mouth to stop Xu Xingyin, he saw the maid's face turned pale with fear. She struggled to break free from the servant's restraint and used all her strength to pull the hem of Xu Xingyin's skirt.

"Miss! Miss! I'll tell you! I'll tell you whatever you ask! Please don't kill me!"

People are generally like this. When facing death, backbone and loyalty become unimportant.

"I am kind-hearted and will give you one more chance. If you hear lies again,

Xu Xingyin slowly turned her head and glanced down at the maid's hand that was pulling at the hem of her skirt, her tone neither salty nor cold.

"There won't be a third chance to speak."

The maid nodded with tears in her eyes, she was so scared that she even forgot to cry.

"I am Happy, a second-class maid in the Sixth Miss's courtyard. The Sixth Miss specifically told the Crown Prince about the Third Miss's high fever. I am here under orders... come..."

"Watch the fun."

Seeing that the maid didn't know how to embellish the facts, Xu Xingyin kindly helped to add the second half of the sentence.

Kai Xin lowered her head in shame upon hearing this.

"No matter how nice you say it, I'm sure your young lady means the same thing. Well, my word is as good as gold. Since you've said it, I won't embarrass you anymore."

Xu Xingyin was magnanimous and just waved his hand to let Kai Xin go.

Kai Xin probably didn't expect Xu Xingyin to be so easy to talk to. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. In the end, Dan Feng frowned.

"Why don't you go back and report?!"

"Thank you for your kindness, young lady."

After saying that, Kai Xin ran out in a hurry.

"Don't you think people are weird? They are not afraid when they tell lies, but they are afraid when they tell the truth."

Xu Xingyin sighed with emotion to Dangui, and turned his head to see Xu Chaoge who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Xu Xingyin deliberately turned his head to avoid Xu Chaoge's gaze and spoke in a low voice.

"I'm tired today, so I'm going to take a rest. Brother, please do as you please."

After saying that, she walked into the room without looking back. The doors and windows were closed by the maid, leaving no gap for Xu Chaoge.

This was the first time Xu Chaoge had been turned away since he was a child.

But now he had no temper at all. He sighed in disappointment, and uncontrollable fatigue instantly hit his whole body.

It was like a sudden basin of cold water that extinguished all the remaining flames in his heart. Even the rising smoke was mocking his ignorance.

Xu Chaoge stayed in the yard for about an incense stick of time. Finally, he sighed, turned around and left.

As soon as Xu Chaoge left, Dan Feng rushed into the study and complained to Xu Xingyin in a low voice.

"Neither the Third Miss nor the Sixth Miss is a good person. They teamed up to bully our young lady. The prince is also confused. He is used to listening to those bad guys and hurting our young lady's heart for no reason."

Seeing that Xu Xingyin was in a bad mood, Danfeng's honest words were of no comfort to Xu Xingyin, so Dangui quickly sent Danfeng away.

"The prince is young, so it's inevitable that he will be deceived. Miss, you'd better not take it to heart. If you hurt yourself for no reason, wouldn't that make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy?"

Xu Xingyin actually listened to Dangui's words of comfort and nodded in response.

"I understand."

"It will not do you any good to confront the prince. Miss, why don't you learn from the third lady and speak softly and gently, and go along with her first, so that the prince will like her when he sees her."

Seeing that Xu Xingyin was willing to listen, Dangui couldn't help but say a few more words. "Isn't it that Aunt Liu's courtyard relies on such means to win over the master and the prince?"

"From this we can see that most men are deaf and blind." Xu Xingyin commented bluntly, "Father and brother are especially so."

"..."

Dangui chose to keep silent.

In the next few days, those on duty in Chenguang Courtyard tacitly avoided all topics related to the master and the prince.

If you want to say how angry he was, in fact, Xu Xingyin was only angry for a moment when Xu Chaoge questioned him face to face. After waking up, he had lost all his temper.

But Xu Xingyin still pretended to be angry and ignored Xu Chaoge. Except for going to the Grand Princess's Mansion, he stayed in the yard all the time and never went to Chen's main courtyard again.

Chen soon found out about the little conflict between the brother and sister, but she had no intention of trying to dissuade them.

Just go about your life as usual, pretending you didn't know about this.

Xu Chaoge was uneasy for a few days, but finally he took the initiative to find Chen. He first sincerely admitted his mistake, and then asked Chen to persuade Xu Xingyin.

Chen did not agree immediately, but gave Xu Chaoge a lecture, and finally went to Chenguangyuan with a feeling of unsatisfied desire.

Chen strode into Xu Xingyin's yard and sighed before she said anything.

Xu Xingyin estimated that it was time for Chen to act as the peacemaker, but he was still holding his breath and deliberately did not break the window paper in the middle, pretending to be stupid.

Xu Xingyin's personality is somewhat similar to that of a young Chen.

He had endured it for a few days when he first returned home, but now he can no longer control himself.

He is very stubborn and cannot bear any loss or grievance.

Chen knew what was going on, so she chuckled.

"Jiaojiao should know why mother came here today. But mother won't talk to you about your brother today. How about we talk about you?"

Xu Xingyin never thought that Chen would say this. He was stunned at first and then he reacted.

"What can I say?"
