As soon as Lan Qiao and Hua Yuxi left Prince Yan's Mansion, they heard a crisp girl's voice calling from the side: "Brother Lan Qiao, who is this beautiful sister?"

When he turned around, he saw Zhu Qingxiao, whom he hadn't seen for more than a year.

"Qingxiao, why are you here?" Lan Qiao walked up to her with a smile, looked her up and down and said, "You have grown taller again, and you have become more beautiful."

Zhu Qingxiao's appearance is less childish than a year ago, more delicate, and her figure is taller and taller. She stands tall and graceful, wearing a long skirt that touches the floor, with pearls hanging on her head, and a slight smile on her lips.

She has the charming appearance of a "girl who has just grown up".

"Brother Lanqiao, it's true that when you come to Peiping, you don't even bother to come see someone else first." Although she is one year older, her temper is still that of a little girl. She pouted and said, "If I hadn't heard from a servant who happened to be passing by the palace,

Since then, I didn’t even know Brother Lanqiao had come to Peiping.”

"So the little princess dressed up in a hurry and went to the gate of the palace to wait for you, Brother Lanqiao, to come out?" Hua Yuxi saw her childish nature and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

Zhu Qingxiao glared at her, but ignored her, and just asked Lan Qiao: "Who is she?"

Lan Qiao thought of the harm Hua Yuxi had done to Zhu Qingxiao in the past, and just when he didn't know how to answer her, Hua Yuxi bowed and said, "The little girl Hua Yuxi is Mr. Lan's new maid."

Zhu Qingxiao showed a look of disbelief: "Really?"

Still asking about Lanqiao.

Lan Qiao could only smile bitterly: "It's true."

In fact, after Lan Feng returned to Peiping, he once told Zhu Qingxiao about Lan Qiao's acceptance of Hua Yuxi as a maid in the capital. At that time, he continued to promote his role in that incident.

Of course, neither Lan Feng nor Lan Qiao told Zhu Qingxiao that Hua Yuxi was the person she hated the most, the "Poppy" who once imprisoned her in Luzhou and caused her to break her leg.

Zhu Qingxiao had seen the picture scroll of beauty, so he recognized Hua Yuxi as soon as she came out. The reason why she asked this was that she didn't believe Lan Feng's words at first and thought he was bragging.

I believe that Lan Qiao would really bring Hua Yuxi, a "brothel girl who only knows how to sing and dance", all the way from the capital to Peking.

Now hearing that Hua Yuxi admitted that she was Lan Qiao's maid, Zhu Qingxiao snorted and said, "Since you are Brother Lan Qiao's maid, do you listen to what I say?"

Hua Yuxi smiled and said: "The little princess has given orders, and the servants must obey them."

Lan Qiao didn't know what Zhu Qingxiao wanted to do. He was about to persuade her to change places first before talking about their divorce. Suddenly, a man dressed as a family general ran over, bowed to him from a distance and said: "I am a family general in the head of Coach Leng. Leng

The instructor heard that Mr. Lan came to Peiping and asked me to invite Mr. Lan to his house."

When Lan Qiao heard Leng Han invite him to come over, he didn't dare to neglect. After telling Hua Yuxi to go find him later, he followed the general to Leng Han's mansion.

Zhu Qingxiao didn't move a step. He waited until the blue bridge was far away, then glanced at Hua Yuxi and said, "Follow me." After that, he led the way.

Hua Yuxi followed her, and saw that she was still staggering a bit when walking. It seemed that her right leg was not able to exert enough strength, and it was difficult for her to even walk a little faster, let alone running or jumping.

She felt pity in her heart, knowing that the leg was broken when she pushed Zhu Qingxiao from a tree in the suburbs of Luzhou. She did not expect that two years later, Zhu Qingxiao still had not recovered.

"Your legs..." Hua Yuxi said softly.

Zhu Qingxiao was originally a delicate little beauty, but she was hurt by Hua Yuxi and broke her leg. She felt endless pain and resentment in her heart. She also hated anyone mentioning her leg.

She stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at Hua Yuxi fiercely and said, "It's none of your business! Is this what you, a cheap slave, should ask?"

"My slave made a mistake. Please forgive me, Miss Princess." Hua Yuxi lowered her head and said.

"Is it enough to just make a mistake?" Zhu Qingxiao said angrily, "Kneel down. Brother Lanqiao has been seduced by you and let you go. I will discipline you for him."

Although this place is not the entrance to Prince Yan's Mansion, it is still a busy street, with passers-by passing by from time to time. Zhu Qingxiao asked Hua Yuxi to kneel down in the street, which really embarrassed her.

However, Hua Yuxi didn't hesitate too much. She knelt down in front of Zhu Qingxiao calmly and said, "Miss Princess, please forgive me. I would like to ask again."

Zhu Qingxiao stared and said, "What are you asking?"

"Have any good doctors in Peking examined Miss Princess's legs?"

"Nonsense! I haven't seen any of the famous doctors in Beiping. I've taken countless medicines and had countless needles, but my legs are still like this." Zhu Qingxiao was so angry that he felt like he was being ignited by gunpowder.

He stamped his feet and said, "If one day that bitch Poppy falls into my hands, I will skin her alive!"

"It shouldn't be..." Hua Yuxi frowned slightly and thought to herself: "A fracture of that degree is not difficult to treat. There is no reason why the doctors in Peking can't cure it."

Seeing that she was absent-minded, Zhu Qingxiao became even more furious: "What are you muttering about?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask the princess to punish you."

Zhu Qingxiao was not polite, raised the corner of her skirt slightly, stretched out an embroidered shoe from under the skirt and said: "My shoes are a little dirty, please clean them for me."

Hua Yuxi was startled. She was about to ask Zhu Qingxiao what to use to wipe it with, but the latter said angrily: "Use your sleeve to wipe it."

"Yes." Hua Yuxi was dumbfounded by her childish "badness". She used her sleeves to clean her shoes while staring at her calves in trance.

"After walking for so long, are your legs sore, Miss Princess? Do you want me to rub them for you?" She took a step on her knees and looked up at Zhu Qingxiao.

"That's fine." Zhu Qingxiao's expression softened slightly, he sat down on a bench on the street, stretched out one leg and said, "You can rub it."

So Hua Yuxi rubbed her legs while carefully examining her bones, muscles and blood meridians, while thinking about possible symptoms.

Zhu Qingxiao looked at Hua Yuxi's beautiful face, and an unknown fire arose in his heart. He sneered: "I know you are born with a good skin, but you also remember that you are not allowed to seduce my brother Lan Qiao. He

He already has a wife, and she is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wenchang. As a chicken-headed person like you, you are not even qualified to carry his shoes."

"Yes, yes." Hua Yuxi chuckled, "But what if I am more than just a chicken head?"

Zhu Qingxiao said in shock: "What do you mean?"

"There is a saying that I don't know whether to say or not."

"If you fart quickly, let it go!"

Hua Yuxi smiled slyly, suddenly leaned into Zhu Qingxiao's ear, lowered her voice and said, "I am Poppy."

Zhu Qingxiao trembled, looked at Hua Yuxi in disbelief and said, "What did you say?"

Hua Yuxi did not explain, but suddenly pulled off a piece of cloth and covered her face, revealing only a pair of eyes and said: "The little princess is really good at punching!"

Zhu Qingxiao was shocked, and shrank back in panic and fear: "What did you say?"

"It's useless to fight against the bastard punch." Hua Yuxi said again, and then clapped her hands together, making a crisp "pop" sound.

These two sentences were exactly what Hua Yuxi said when Zhu Qingxiao and Hua Yuxi were fighting in the tree. They were word-for-word. Due to the close distance, only Zhu Qingxiao heard those words, not even Lan Qiao.

He didn't know that the last "slap" meant Hua Yuxi's slap on Zhu Qingxiao's face.

Zhu Qingxiao has suffered from leg problems in the past two years. When he tossed and turned, he could always think of the scene when he was beaten by Hua Yuxi. He remembered it very clearly. At this time, he saw Hua Yuxi say these two sentences again, and the last sound.

He clapped his hands and immediately said like a midnight dream, "You are really a poppy? Does Brother Lanqiao know?"

Hua Yuxi sighed: "Not only does he know, Lan Feng also knows, they just don't want you to think too much, so they didn't tell you."

"You bastard!" Zhu Qingxiao waved his hand and slapped Hua Yuxi hard on the left side of her face. She had learned some internal skills from Ye Wen at Tianlian Peak, and the force of her attack was far beyond that of an ordinary little girl. This slap in the face

It was so loud that it attracted the attention of passers-by.

Hua Yuxi covered her cheek in pain, but still smiled and said: "I forgot to tell you that not only did I want to seduce Mr. Lan and make him fascinated by me, but I also wanted to tell him what you did to me today.

Let him sever ties with you! How can you, a cousin with a foreign surname, guard against my pillow talk?"

"You! You..." Zhu Qingxiao's cheeks turned red with anger. He couldn't help but gasp for breath. He suddenly stood up from the bench and said, "I will fight with you!"

As he spoke, he raised his fist and hit Hua Yuxi again.

"Come and bite me! You little cripple." Hua Yuxi turned around and ran away. Zhu Qingxiao followed closely, chasing her and hitting her again.

With how skilled Hua Yuxi was, how could she really be hit by Zhu Qingxiao? She just kept running to a sparsely populated area, and then made rude remarks and continued to provoke Zhu Qingxiao to chase her.

Zhu Qingxiao was already young and had been so angered by her that he had forgotten everything and wished he could fight her to the death right away.

She chased Hua Yuxi desperately, no matter whether he was walking through an alley or across the grass. Seeing that Hua Yuxi didn't seem to be running very fast, she became even more determined to catch up and fight her.

Hua Yuxi led Zhu Qingxiao around the city, and finally crossed a small ditch about three feet wide. Zhu Qingxiao chased after her and jumped over the small ditch without hesitation, like a female animal.

Xi rushed towards her, raised his fist and wanted to hit her again.

"Congratulations, little princess." Hua Yuxi blinked and smiled without looking at her fist in the air.

"What's there to congratulate?" Zhu Qingxiao's fist stopped in mid-air.

Hua Yuxi pointed behind her, and Zhu Qingxiao looked back and saw the small ditch: "This is..."

"The little princess even jumped over the ditch, so how can she have any leg problems?"

"I really...jumped over..." Zhu Qingxiao stood up in excitement and walked a few steps in surprise.

Hua Yuxi also turned over and sat up, and explained with a smile: "Your leg injury has actually healed a long time ago. The reason why you are still unable to walk normally is because you have an unresolved knot. Since you broke your leg, you have become better and better."

You have low self-esteem, as if your whole life will be ruined by this leg. This low self-esteem is like a vicious curse, making you live in pain every day and unable to get real relief, even if you have physically recovered.

."

"That's why you..."

"I know you hate me to the core, so I deliberately use this to provoke you and let you regain the strength from hatred." Hua Yuxi spread her hands and said, "You will feel inferior when facing outsiders, even Brother Lanqiao and Brother Lanfeng.

, except when facing the poppy you hate, you won’t, so when you chase me, you will naturally forget your worries. Your legs are already fine, and it is of course no problem to jump over a three-foot-wide ditch.

"

Zhu Qingxiao didn't know whether he listened to Hua Yuxi's explanation. He jumped excitedly from one side of the ditch to the other, and then jumped back to this side. Sometimes he opened his hands and ran wildly.

Step, as happy as a child who has eaten candy.

Hua Yuxi knew that she was holding it back, so she let her run and dance, thinking that she was not too devastated by this slap.

"So you are really a poppy?" Zhu Qingxiao finally jumped back to Hua Yuxi.

"It's true." Hua Yuxi said with a smile, "What? You still want to bite me?"

"You have made me suffer for two years, and I will bite you to death!" Zhu Qingxiao tried to look vicious, but in the end he couldn't help laughing.

It was a smile accompanied by tears.

Hua Yuxi didn't expect that she was so "heartless" and forgot the harm she had done to her so quickly. She felt relieved and relieved that she had paid off another debt. She jumped up and looked towards her with an exaggerated expression.

He ran into an empty alley: "Ah, run quickly, the little princess is biting someone!"

"Okay, don't think I don't know that you are going around the corner and calling me a dog! You are the dog, and your whole family is a dog! Stop..." Zhu Qingxiao ran after him, and the two women chased each other and disappeared.
