“Qing Yan, come in and help me get ready,” Huxin said slowly.
“Yes, Miss.” Qing Yan pushed the door open and saw Huxin sitting leisurely in front of the vanity, showing no signs of urgency. Qing Yan couldn't help but remind her softly, “Miss, Consort Mei has already brought people to the front hall. The master won't be back for another hour. Let me take you out through the back door first.” Qing Yan was worried that Huxin might suffer later; after all, Consort Mei was not like Miss Si Qian or Miss Tinghui. Women in the palace were known for their ruthless tactics, and if Huxin truly crossed paths with Consort Mei today, she would be in real danger.
Upon hearing Qing Yan's words, Huxin slightly raised her chin and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her lips as she coldly replied, “I’m afraid the back door is already filled with Consort Mei's people. Where can we go with just the three of us?”
As soon as Huxin finished speaking, Mo Chuan's deep voice came from outside the window, “Miss, I just found out that the back courtyard has been surrounded by Consort Mei's people. Should I lead them away so that you and Qing Yan can leave afterward?”
Upon hearing Mo Chuan's words, Qing Yan's eyes flashed with disbelief as she looked at Huxin.
The Miss truly was remarkable; she could predict things before they happened.
“Qing Yan, do my hair in your best style. We’re not going anywhere today; we’ll just wait in the garden for Father to return.”
Huxin spoke leisurely, displaying a determination to face whatever came their way.
“Miss, you should listen to Qing Yan and Mo Chuan. You really can’t stay here today. As the saying goes, a wise man doesn’t suffer immediate losses. Consort Mei has come here with a large group of people; even if Qing Yan and Mo Chuan risk their lives, it would be difficult to resist them. Our lives are worth little, but you are the apple of the master’s eye and the legitimate eldest daughter of the Xia Family! Before leaving, the master repeatedly instructed us to take good care of you. Miss! You absolutely cannot have any mishaps!”
The anxiety on Qing Yan's face stemmed from her genuine concern and worry for Huxin.
Huxin couldn't help but narrow her cold eyes. Hearing Qing Yan say this, it seemed that the father she had never met treated her quite well. With the Xia Family as her backing, Huxin felt more confident. She smiled and spoke firmly,
“Qing Yan, what nonsense are you talking about! Those who stay by my side must have dignity and necessity for their existence every day they live! No one can choose their parents or background, but dignity and spirit are earned by oneself! I never think anyone is born inferior to others. You, me, and Mo Chuan, we are all equal in the face of life and death! The truly despicable are those who are rich and unkind, bullying others with their power! If you want to continue staying by my side, don’t ever speak such self-deprecating words again! Today, both you and Mo Chuan can stay with me at ease. As long as I draw breath, no one can touch a hair on either of you!”
As Huxin finished speaking, Qing Yan suddenly knelt on the ground, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at Huxin.
Outside the window, Mo Chuan stood frozen, staring incredulously at the closed window. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never believe that those words had come from his young lady.
Huxin reached out to pull Qing Yan up, her tone firm. “Get up! No need for this in front of me! Today we will do things my way! You and Mo Chuan were beaten yesterday; today we will make Consort Mei pay for it!”
Qing Yan's eyes widened as she looked at Huxin, hardly believing what she was seeing. The once reckless and impulsive young lady now displayed such courage and strategy that Qing Yan was not only surprised but also deeply impressed.
“Miss!” Qing Yan looked at Huxin, excited and unsure of what to say.
“Alright, first help me get ready. Later, follow me to enjoy the show!” Huxin winked at Qing Yan. Just a moment ago, her expression had been cold and resolute; now her delicate features radiated a picturesque brightness.
Qing Yan quickly styled Huxin's hair into her best hairstyle. In the mirror, the young girl’s bright eyes sparkled; her exquisite features combined charm with liveliness. Under Qing Yan's skilled hands, she blossomed into a stunning beauty.
