Indeed, if she could tell him the story of "Dongfang Fengyuan" without reservation, it would not make sense for him to doubt her again.
"Lian'er, don't blame me for being suspicious. This kind of suspicion is one of the instincts and abilities that I possess after growing up in a place like the palace, a place where you and others are intrigued. Without these instincts, I might have died long ago.
If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Long Qijin felt a little sad.
"I understand."
Dongfang Lian suddenly took a few steps closer to him, held his hand, and said, "Your Highness Seventh Prince..." His contagious voice said everything without saying anything.
Long Qijin's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he definitely felt Dongfang Lian's sincerity towards him...
"Lian'er."
The eyes of the two became intense and they began to get entangled.
Dongfang Lian was overjoyed. Long Qijin believed her. Long Qijin took the bait. She knew that she could make this suspicious man drop his guard as long as he used the other party's method!
"Your Highness...Sixth Miss..."
Nan'er broke in with refreshments, neither early nor late, and I don't know whether she did it on purpose or accidentally.
Anyway, Long Qijin was a little embarrassed and unhappy with Nan'er's arrival.
"Nan'er..." Long Qijin also asked Nan'er to go out. She was really annoying.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Your Highness, Nan'er will go out immediately!"
Nan'er pretended to want to leave. Her eyes concealed her dissatisfaction and resentment towards Dongfang Lian.
Dongfang Lian smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm thirsty and want to drink some fragrant tea."
Dongfang Lian immediately pushed Long Qijin away, just because he didn't want to be taken advantage of by his actions. Nan'er came just in time.
This Nan'er, Long Qijin's eldest maid, they had a lot of entanglements in their previous lives.
In order to establish her prestige, Nan'er beat to death Liu'er, the maid she had come to marry. Although she later beat Nan'er to death to avenge Liu'er and established her authority in the palace.
But when he saw Nan'er again, he naturally knew that this maid was unfriendly to his existence.
Well, everything started with Nan'er, turning the Seventh Prince's Mansion upside down.
"Nan'er serves tea to Miss Six."
Nan'er was very skilled at making tea. Although she was dissatisfied with Dongfang Lian, Nan'er still restrained all her emotions that she shouldn't show and respectfully made a cup of tea for Dongfang Lian.
When reaching for the tea, Dongfang Lian was very skillful, and his hand slipped...
The cup of tea fell to the ground with a bang, and the tea splashed all over Dongfang Lian!
"you--"
Dongfang Lian's round eyes stared.
Nan'er was a little stunned at first, because even though she had various thoughts about Dongfang Lian, she didn't show it in action, and she didn't want to have any bad intentions towards Dongfang Lian who came to the mansion for the first time.
But this sixth lady obviously took action first.
Is this to protect her as a big maid? Does Miss Six know her special status in the palace?
"Miss Sixth, I'm sorry, it was Nan'er who was not careful..."
She immediately knelt down and admitted her mistake. Even though Nan'er knew it was not her fault, she had been in the palace for so long. How could she not know the little thoughts among these women?
If she sincerely admits her mistake, His Highness will have no reason to punish her. If she quibbles or something, His Highness's attitude towards Dongfang Lian will not only not protect her, but also punish her. Nan'er doesn't want to lose her stability in the Seventh Prince's Palace.
status.
"Ah, it hurts."
Dongfang Lian rubbed the hand that was burned by water droplets.
Long Qijin also felt heartbroken and took a look at her hand, "It's all red. Someone, call the doctor quickly."
