Chapter 12 Probing

Chi Wanyue tugged at the corners of her lips, with a cold look in her eyes. She pulled Chi Qingliu's wrist, turned her heel, and kicked Chi Qingliu in the butt: "Get off you!"

Chi Qingliu's body fell into the river uncontrollably. After several ups and downs, he slowly stabilized his body and stood in the lake.

Chi Wanyue sneered: "Sober up and clear your mind. Don't talk about anything."

Chi Qingliu was in a mess, even his hair was in locks hanging on his cheeks, looking like a water ghost.

Looking up at Chi Wanyue who was laughing at her on the shore, she collapsed. She blushed and shouted: "Chi Wanyue, how dare you push me?"

"Aren't you already in the water? Why can't you believe it?"

Chi Wanyue stood on the shore, looking at Chi Qingliu in the water with a calm face, and raised the corners of her lips indifferently.

"I'm telling you, Chi Qingliu, if I hear one bad word about Ning Huaizhao from you again, just stay in this lake and don't come out."

When talking about the latter part, Chi Wanyue's expression suddenly turned fierce, and it didn't look like he was joking.

Seeing her turning around to leave, Chi Qingliu couldn't help but said: "What did I say wrong? You shamelessly went to propose marriage to King Jin, and even had a private meeting in the middle of the night. Not only that, you also provoked Pei Yan before, and he has been

I haven’t given up on you yet, you are clearly disloyal and unclean, and you are courting Qin Muchu.”

Chi Wanyue turned around and looked at her coldly: "I have made it clear to Pei Yan a long time ago that the only person I like is Ning Huaizhao."

"Hmph, stop lying. If you made it clear, why would that Pei Yan be waiting outside for you to go out to meet him?"

Chi Wanyue frowned: "What did you say? Pei Yan is outside the door now?"

"Of course, I heard from the concierge that he came before dawn, and he is still waiting for you at the door."

Chi Wanyue thought for a moment, raised her eyebrows slightly, and suddenly raised her lips and smiled.

If she really wanted to sleep, someone would hand her a pillow, and she was worried about not being able to leave the house.

Chi Qingliu watched her turn around and leave, frantically slapping the lake with both hands: "Chi Wanyue, pull me up first, Chi Wanyue!"

But no one paid any attention to her.

Chi Wanyue went directly to the door of the Hou Mansion. When she saw her coming, the four guards guarding the door were all in full formation. They even held hands and formed a human wall, fearing that Chi Wanyue would run out.

Their monthly salary is not much to begin with, but there are no deductions.

Chi Wanyue saw the vigilant looks on their faces and raised a smile that she thought was kind: "You guys have worked really hard."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dong, Liu Xi, Liu Nan, and Liu Bei all turned pale with fright, and said with mournful faces: "Princess, please don't embarrass us, this is all an order from the Marquis."

"Yes, Princess, I still have an eighty-year-old mother to support at home."

"I have a baby at home who is waiting to be fed."

"I want to save money from now on to make a dowry for my daughter."

The other three people cried miserably, and only Liu Bei was left. He glanced at them, and suddenly realized that he had no excuses to make, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Chi Wanyue.

Chi Wanyue looked at him with a half-smile, raised her chin: "Well, tell me, what's your reason?"

Liu Bei suddenly held his chest and coughed several times, bursting into tears. He sounded more miserable than others: "Princess, I have an incurable disease. I am in urgent need of money and medicine. If I lose my job, I will go to see the King of Hell."

"

The corners of Chi Wanyue's mouth twitched vaguely, who did all these drama queens learn from?

"Shut up!"

The four howling people stopped immediately and looked directly at Chi Wanyue.

"Let me ask you, is Pei Yan waiting at the door?"

"Here, Princess, he came early in the morning."

"Well, call him in. I have something to tell him."

The four people looked at each other and saw the same message in their eyes: The old Marquis only said not to let the little princess go out, and not to let the little princess meet Prince Jin, but he didn't say not to let Pei Yan see him, right?

"What are you doing standing still? Go quickly!"

"Yes, yes, little princess, please wait. I will call someone in for you right now."

"Go ahead."

Chi Wanyue raised her head and watched them go out to call for help.

When Pei Yan came in, he had a happy face, and he was careful to please Chi Wanyue when he spoke to her.

"Abao..."

Chi Wanyue pursed her lips and gave him a warning look, and Pei Yan couldn't help but shut up.

"Tell me, what are you here for?"

Pei Yan took a step forward and spread out a brown paper bag in front of Chi Wanyue. There were several white candy cubes inside, all made into the shape of petals. It was not difficult to see that a lot of thought had been put into it.

"I remember that you used to love the sweet-scented osmanthus candy I made for you. Today I specially made it for you. Have you not eaten it for a long time? Give it a try."

As he spoke, Pei Yan took a few steps forward emotionally, while Chi Wanyue couldn't help but take a few steps back, frowning in displeasure.

"Stay away from me."

Pei Yan seemed to have something to say. He moved his lips but did not say anything.

Chi Wanyue lowered her eyes and glanced at the osmanthus candy in his hand, then reached out to pinch it and look at it.

There was a vague shadow in Pei Yan's eyes, as if he was expecting something.

Chi Wanyue put it under her nose and smelled it, then looked directly into Pei Yan's eyes, slowly straightened her arm on the right side, and released her hand.

The sweet-scented osmanthus candy fell on the bluestone board and broke into two halves.

"This smell is as disgusting as you."

Chi Wanyue took out the handkerchief and wiped her fingers, looked at Pei Yan and sneered: "When did you become so shameless? You were humiliated by me in public, and you exposed your trick to destroy my innocence, and you still dare to come to my door.

"

Pei Yan's eyes widened. He still didn't understand where Chi Wanyue knew his secret. Apart from those two people, only he knew about that matter. He didn't even tell his adoptive father.

Seeing the change in Pei Yan's expression, Chi Wanyue's eyes flashed with more sarcasm.

"Little princess, I like you so much, why am I willing to send someone to destroy your innocence? I have already thought about it. If the old marquis disagrees, I will come to him every day to beg him. One day I will be sincere."

"But, little princess, didn't you say you would only marry me? Why have you moved on to Ning Huaizhao again? You are just angry with me, right?"

"Angry? Stop putting money on your face, Pei Yan, I have no time to waste time with you, Pei Yan."

Pei Yan reached out to grab Chi Wanyue's hand, but she dodged it.

"If you dare to touch me again, I will chop off your claws!"

A cold light appeared in Chi Wanyue's eyes, and her soft voice was filled with murderous intent. It was so heavy that the listeners felt depressed.

Pei Yan had seen her look so fierce once in the palace, and it was the same today.

This was not the same person as the Chi Wanyue he knew at all, but the osmanthus candy just now was not tested to find out whether it was genuine or not.

A flash of light quickly flashed in Pei Yan's eyes, tears fell at the drop of a hat, and his voice was choked up: "Little princess, do you still remember what you said to me when we were setting off lanterns on the Huaihe River?"
