"Qing Yan, lead the way."
Huxin raised an eyebrow, and without pausing for a moment, turned and walked out of the front hall.
Xuan Yuan Ling followed closely behind Huxin, and upon seeing the two walking together naturally, Jing Tian'ao's expression instantly turned cold. The large hand hidden under the wide sleeve unconsciously clenched into a fist, veins bulging on the back of his hand.
As Huxin exited the front hall and turned a corner to head back to her courtyard, Qing Yan hurriedly caught up with her.
"Miss, where are you going? The master will be back soon; he’s almost at the main gate. He also sent word for you to welcome General Liu. Why are you heading to your own courtyard?" Qing Yan's words made Huxin pause in surprise, and she looked at her innocently.
"What? I thought you were just saying that to help me out. Did the old man really ask me to welcome him? No way!" Huxin's words left Qing Yan feeling a bit exasperated.
"Miss, how could I, a mere maid, dare to tell such a huge lie? It was indeed the master's order." At this moment, Qing Yan felt like crying without tears. What did her young lady think of her? How could she possibly have the ability to tell such a lie?
Following behind Huxin, Xuan Yuan Ling couldn't help but chuckle, tilting his head in amusement at her. What was this girl thinking?
Feeling a bit embarrassed by Xuan Yuan Ling's laughter, Huxin recalled how in modern times she often had her subordinates help her out of difficult situations with similar excuses. She had become so accustomed to it that she unknowingly brought some modern habits here.
"Alright, alright, whether it's to help me or not, I'm not going to welcome any General Liu! Just tell him I'm sick and can't make it to the gate; let someone else welcome him." Huxin lazily waved her hand. She hadn’t had enough sleep yet and had no interest in welcoming anyone like Liu Yuren.
Besides, that Liu Yuren was known for being heard but not seen, living in the desert for years with a solitary and aloof personality. Who knows if he might be some psychologically twisted individual? It was better to avoid him if possible.
"Miss, how can this be? Besides, which young lady in the Vast Continent wouldn’t dress up beautifully to welcome General Liu if they heard he was coming? Why are you..." Qing Yan didn’t expect Huxin to react this way and looked worried as her brows furrowed together.
"What’s wrong with that? If I say it’s fine, then it’s fine! It’s just a broken general, right? If the Emperor comes, I simply don’t want to go out! Qing Yan, since Liu Yuren is so good, why don’t you go greet him..." Huxin said with an indifferent expression, yawning unconsciously. Seeing that she really intended to go back to sleep, Qing Yan was almost on the verge of kneeling in anxiety.
"Hmph! Xia Huxin, you were clearly full of energy when you injured Consort Mei and Le Yi just now, but now you’re sick? You really know how to act! Were you also acting when you were with This King?!" Jing Tian'ao chased after her and spoke coldly.
Huxin shot a disdainful glance at Jing Tian'ao and replied coolly, "Can’t Prince Ping tell whether I’m acting or not? If you think I’ve been acting all along, then after so many years, Prince Ping hasn’t noticed at all. Does that mean Prince Ping is a fool? Can’t even see through the act of a weak woman? If Prince Ping is truly that lacking, how can he live up to the title of Prince Ping?"
Huxin looked at Jing Tian'ao with an innocent and delicate expression, but her eyes were filled with deep disdain and disgust for him.
