Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight
Chapter 156: The Cold and Noble Prince (10)
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Jiang Rou's body trembled more and more. She was afraid that the person would see her face, so she immediately went into Ji Huaian's arms.
Ji Huaian heard the footsteps and the person in his arms trembling more and more. He turned slightly to cover Jiang Rou completely and lowered his head slightly.
The man holding a torch saw the shadows of a pair of embracing mandarin ducks reflected on the rockery. Ji Huaian turned his head immediately when he felt the light. His eyes were cold and his voice was icy as he said, "Get out."
When he turned around, the leader was shocked when he saw his face. He nodded and bowed quickly, saying, "I'll leave immediately." Then he hurriedly left with his group.
Until the footsteps could no longer be heard, Ji Huaian realized that the person in his arms had no intention of letting go. He reminded in a calm voice, "How long are you going to hold on to her when she's walking away?"
Hearing his words, Jiang Rou hurriedly stepped back, lowered her head and dared not look at him, her hands tightly grasping her clothes.
Ji Huaian found the cowardly look in front of him funny, as if the person who had held his waist tightly just now was not her. Ji Huaian said, "Where did your courage go? You used me as a shield."
His voice was so indifferent that it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. Jiang Rou lowered her head even deeper. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum. Ji Huaian listened carefully and heard "I'm sorry".
I thought Jiang Rou would stay like this, but who would have thought that the next second she looked up at Ji Huaian and said with gratitude, "I will repay you for saving my life. I have nothing else but to stay with you, sir." When Ji Huaian heard her say this, the interest on his face faded and he said in a cold voice, "No need," and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Rou grabbed his sleeve. Ji Huaian felt that he had misjudged the person. Unexpectedly, Jiang Rou said next, "I only wish to stay with you and be a maid to serve you." Ji Huaian stopped and looked at him.
He said, "There's no need for a maid," and then he left. Seeing Jiang Rou still there, he stopped and said, "Do you want to stay here and wait for someone to come back and find you?"
Jiang Rou's eyes lit up, she picked up her skirt and chased after him, walked up to Ji Huaian and tentatively said, "Sir, do you agree that I can stay by your side as a maid?" Ji Huaian said, "Don't think too much, Fuyun will send you back when he comes back tomorrow."
As he spoke, his pace quickened. Jiang Rou followed behind him without any sadness on her face. She thought to herself, "Now that I'm already here, how can I go back?"
After returning to the courtyard, Ji Huaian left her to a servant and walked towards the study. Jiang Rou was arranged into a small room, where she touched the clothes that had just been delivered.
She took the clothes and put them on. The clothes fit her unexpectedly well. Jiang Rou looked at herself in the mirror and slowly stroked her face.
Ji Huaian is her best choice at the moment. She just can't get used to a hard life. She is not a good person, and the premise of her interactions with others is exploitation. But so what? She just doesn't want to be bullied and just wants to live a good life. She can let everyone down but not herself.
021 in the space didn't know what Jiang Rou was thinking. It saw Jiang Rou staring at herself in the mirror blankly. It thought that Jiang Rou was moved by a set of clothes and couldn't help feeling distressed. In the previous world, its Rourou was always spoiled. How could she be so happy about a set of clothes?
The next day, Ji Huaian woke up and shouted outside, "Fuyun, come in." The door was pushed open. Ji Huaian heard footsteps that did not sound like Fuyun's. Ji Huaian put on his coat, grabbed his handkerchief and threw it out of the curtain.
Jiang Rou had her head down, holding a copper basin in her hand, which was already a bit strenuous, when a white cotton handkerchief flew towards her.
The copper basin in Jiang Rou's hand was not held firmly and fell on her. The copper basin fell to the ground and Jiang Rou also fell to the ground.
Ji Huaian had already put on his clothes. He lifted the curtain and saw Jiang Rou sitting on the ground. Summer clothes were thin to begin with, and she was soaked through. Her clothes were sticking to her body, and the clothes underneath were faintly visible. The bruises on her neck were particularly noticeable.
She raised her head when she heard Ji Huaian's voice, her eyes red and her voice trembling, she said "Prince", with grievance in her eyes.
Ji Huaian frowned and looked at Jiang Rou on the ground, but then looked away. Seeing his gaze, Jiang Rou saw that her clothes seemed to be realized later. She covered her chest with her hands to try to cover it, and her cheeks were flushed with shame.
Ji Huaian said in a calm voice, "Why are you here? Where is Fuyun?" Jiang Rou heard her ask and said, "Brother Fuyun is busy. I took the initiative to deliver water to the prince, but I didn't expect to disturb the prince. I hope the prince will punish me."
Ji Huaian didn't say anything. He looked at Jiang Rou calmly and said, "I told you that you don't have to be my maid. You don't have to do these things. Clean up and get out." After that, he walked into the inner room.
Jiang Rou stood up and walked out of the house. Fuyun came back and saw Jiang Rou like this. Before he could ask her anything, she started crying, "Brother Fuyun, I'm too stupid. I even fell down while delivering water. I made the prince unhappy. I'm so useless."
Fuyun knew that his prince had a stubborn temper, and he was sure that Jiang Rou must have been scolded by the prince. Thinking that Jiang Rou did that to help him, he comforted her with some guilt, "It's okay, the prince is definitely not angry. Go back and change your clothes first, or you will catch a cold."
Jiang Rou returned to the room, closed the door and put away the expression on her face. When she got up this morning, she saw Fuyun and told Fuyun about her experience. Naturally, Fuyun couldn't bear it.
She told Fuyun that she wanted to stay with the prince as a maid to repay his kindness, and did not tell him at all that Ji Huaian had refused.
Fuyun was also shocked when he learned that she was the one who set the fire last night, but when his eyes fell on the bruises on her neck, he just felt that Fang Yuan deserved it.
Jiang Rou expressed her fear subtly. She said, "Everyone has their own responsibilities. I am causing you trouble by being here."
When Fuyun heard her say that, he quickly said, "It's not a problem. Our prince has always disliked bullying the weak, and you are my friend, so how could it be a problem?"
Jiang Rou seemed relieved. She said, "That's good. It wouldn't be worth it if I caused you trouble because of you." After that, she sighed, with sadness between her brows.
Fuyun thought she was afraid of Fang Yuan, and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Miss Jiang. I heard that Fang Yuan was burned and can't get out of bed now, and he deserves it. You must not be sad because of this." In Fuyun's heart, Jiang Rou was a very kind person. If she hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, how could she do such a thing.
Jiang Rou nodded and said, "I just hope that when I return to the courtyard in a few days, this incident will not bring harm to the old ladies." Then she shook her head and said, "No, I can't go back." After that, she said to Fuyun, "Brother Fuyun, can I trouble you with something?"
Fuyun heard Jiang Rou say, "Please send me far away so that no one will be implicated. Although I am alone, the world is peaceful now, so I think nothing will happen." It was unclear whether the last words were meant to comfort Fuyun or herself.
Hearing her say this, Fuyun frowned and said, "Why go alone? Stay here. The prince will definitely keep you safe."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Rou looking at him with a touched expression. There were tears in Jiang Rou's eyes, and she seemed to be in disbelief, "Really? Can I really stay here?"
For some reason, Jiang Rou became depressed again. She said, "What can I do if I stay here?" Fu Yun heard her blurt out, "The prince is short of a maid. You will naturally have something to do if you stay." She regretted it as soon as she said it, because after all, her own prince had never had a maid.
So Jiang Rou went in to deliver water this morning. Although Ji Huaian's attitude was unclear, Jiang Rou felt that his attitude was softening.
Retracting her thoughts, Jiang Rou stood in front of the bronze mirror, her face expressionless. She took off her clothes and saw the bruises on her neck. Of course, the best way to use the self-torture tactic is to let others discover the truth themselves.
Fuyun had promised Jiang Rou what she wanted, so he knocked on the study door at the appointed time.
Hearing Ji Huaian's voice, Fu Yun pushed the door open and walked in. He first told Ji Huaian about his gains last night, "Young Master, I sneaked into Fang Xuchuan's study last night and found a secret compartment. The secret compartment is full of letters." Then he took out a secret letter and handed it to Ji Huaian.
