Chapter Six, This prince desires her

Two figures walked slowly into the dining room. Looking at the woman who was slumped against the corner, sleeping in a disheveled state, Long Li's deep-set eyes suddenly seemed to surge with something, dark and somewhat frightening, as he instinctively clenched his hands behind his back

Should she go to serve others

Looking at the woman's brows tightly knitted even in her sleep, her once dewy face now appeared dirty and pitiful. Long Li walked over, brushed aside a strand of hair from her face, and upon seeing the tears at the corner of her eye that had yet to dry, ... he did not know what compelled him, but his fingertip involuntarily reached out to touch it ...

Her parents rarely cared for her due to their business, but at least they hired a nanny to take care of her daily life. She didn't have to lift a finger for her three meals a day, and if she wanted to buy something, she only needed to call her parents. However, now she doesn't even have a decent meal and is being mistreated.

"Second brother, you?" Surprised by a tenderness he had never experienced before, Long Zeyu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

What do you mean by this? Don't tell me that in such a grand place, surrounded by guards, she doesn't even have a single servant to attend to her!

Looking at her first dish of food in her life, Ye Xiaonuan put down her chopsticks, squatted on the ground, buried her head in her knees, and began to cry uncontrollably

The middle-aged man lifted his eyes, his gaze carrying a hint of depth, yet he spoke in a tone that remained neither warm nor cold: "The prince has stated that from now on, Miss Ye will be the prince's personal maid, responsible not only for all the trivial matters in the Furong Courtyard but, most importantly, for serving the prince with utmost dedication."

The middle-aged man seemed to be momentarily taken aback by Ye Xiaonuan's words, but then he continued in a nonchalant tone: "The prince has issued an order; Miss Ye, if you need anything, please take care of it yourself"

The physical aches seem to be becoming increasingly uncomfortable

What?! Ye Xiaonuan felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow, causing her entire being to ignite with anger. "Is there something wrong with your brain? Where is that so-called master of yours? Bring her out to face me!" Looking at the serious guards standing by, Ye Xiaonuan's heart was almost ablaze, and at this moment, her voice was nearly the gentlest it had ever been.

Wow! Ye Xiaonuan suddenly widened her eyes, indicating her inability to accept it

Too many people want to curry favor with the second brother, and sending women has become too frequent. However, she is still the first woman who has managed to climb into the second brother's bed. I don't know what is so good about this ill-tempered woman that she could actually dispel the second brother's suspicions about her

Ye Xiaonuan was not surprised that he knew her name, as she had already been forced to disclose her basic information while in bed.

She remembered that she had only added a spoonful of salt, yet she did not understand why it was so bitter

But this ... ...

If murder were not a crime, Ye Xiaonuan truly wished to stab someone with a knife right now

She cannot understand how she has fallen to such a state

If you want the horse to run, you must feed it hay. That dead man tormented her for a whole day and night; not to mention food, she didn't even get a sip of water.

Are you not being bewitched by this woman who has drugged you?

The dragon, who was about to leave, suddenly paused, glancing coldly to the side and asked, "Do you think this king should have a wooden figure or a vase?"

"I never said I was leaving." Ye Xiaonuan knew that he was merely a messenger and did not intend to hold anything against him. However, thinking of the man who wanted to kill her in bed, her tone turned unfriendly again, "Is this how your prince treats his guests? Why don't you bring me something to eat!"

Second brother... even if this woman has no issues, her... her temper..." A second brother, who is already cold and indifferent all day long, would find it chilling enough. If such a woman were to become his sister-in-law, wouldn't she just end up scolding people at will, looking down on him?

The women who were previously sent to his residence all possessed skilled hands, each employing their utmost abilities to win his favor

Looking coldly at the large stove where a bowl of indescribable plain noodles sat, Long Li raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Who do you think would allow such a useless woman to be by my side?"

She does not even have the ability to take care of herself

Miss Ye must also be mindful of her status; to disrespect the prince or to show irreverence towards him is a sin that Miss Ye cannot afford. Since the prince has given instructions, I kindly ask Miss Ye to be prudent and ensure that the prince is well attended to. Ignoring someone on the verge of a breakdown, the middle-aged man spoke as if advising yet mocking.

Aside from someone's saliva ... ... Ah, bah!

Ye Xiaonuan : `` ... ... ''

Recalling that scene, Ye Xiaonuan felt as if she had consumed something toxic, her entire body was uncomfortable

"Second brother, are you sure she is not sent by someone?" In contrast to Long Li's cold demeanor, Long Zeyu wore an expression of curiosity and amusement.

What is this supposed to be

Due to the blisters covering my fingertips, I struggled to endure the pain and, trembling, managed to feed myself a mouthful of noodles, only to suddenly vomit it all out with a "wow".

A phrase that was nothing out of the ordinary for them made Long Zeyu's exquisite features twitch slightly at this moment, as a drop of sweat, silently shedding for his own sorrow, slid down.

The numerous fine wounds on the hands sting painfully, a result of being scratched by the wood while chopping. The dirty hands, with half of the fingertips covered in glistening blisters, are a consequence of being burned while gathering firewood. A small face is no longer recognizable, covered in a layer of dust and topped with a thick mane of unkempt curls, looking worse than the beggars on the street.

Without caring about Ye Xiaonuan's reaction, he turned around and left without a word.

House arrest

She did not know how she had walked into the kitchen, but after the clear noodle soup was served, holding it in her hands, she was truly in tears.

He picked up the woman who was leaning against the wall and seemed to be in a daze, walking past Long Zeyu. Long Li slowly uttered a few words: "This king wants her"

The middle-aged man's voice was neither warm nor cold, carrying a hint of stiffness. She glanced around, her delicate brows furrowed to the point of nearly squashing a fly. Earlier in the morning, there had only been guards standing at the entrance of the courtyard with weapons; at this moment, these guards were all standing inside the courtyard.
