Chapter 381 Love is what it is
Xiaoya's throat is quite troublesome, so she has asked Doctor Jiang to see her. Doctor Jiang thinks that even if Xiaoya can speak, her throat will never recover to its previous state. But Doctor Jiang said that she is not good at this kind of disease, so she recommended a bell doctor who lives in a mountain village. However, this doctor's whereabouts are erratic and not easy to find.

It is not easy to find but it has to be found, that is beyond doubt, so Ye Jiayao has already sent people to look for it.

Chunfeng remained silent, but he had a firm idea in his mind: even if Xiaoya became mute, he would not abandon her.

Liuli was lying motionless on the bed at this moment. She hadn't said a word and didn't move for the whole afternoon. She just lay there in a daze, but her heart was burning in a frying pan, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't control herself.

However, the sad tears just wouldn’t come out. It turns out that one cannot cry when the pain is too extreme.

She thought she had seen through everything, had let it go, and was calm. There was no hope and she would no longer be disappointed. However, when Chunfeng rushed in regardless of everything and took Xiaoya away, her self-esteem suffered a severe blow again.

Why is she not even as good as a slave?
When he held Xiaoya in his arms, his eyes were as blazing as fire and as cold as ice. Was it because she had hidden Cuiyan? Or was it because she had treated Xiaoya like this? Was it because she had done this, or was it because her target was Xiaoya?

She had long noticed that Xiaoya liked Chunfeng. Every time she mentioned this, Chunfeng would say that she was making things up and was looking for trouble. At that time, Chunfeng still liked her, so she was relieved.

Later, Xiaoya stepped forward to take the blame for her. She was moved and shaken, but the situation at the time forced her to have no better way. Although she had always been reluctant to admit it, she could not hide it from her own heart. At that time, she still had the idea of ​​going with the flow. She wanted Xiaoya to leave, leave completely. She could not tolerate a woman who coveted her man, no matter how capable her assistant or how close her friend was.

But afterwards, she always thought about Xiaoya and felt a little guilty. After all, Xiaoya was the maid who had been with her the longest and the one who understood her thoughts best.

But Xiaoya came back. At first, she really believed the so-called coincidence. However, gradually, she noticed that Chunfeng's eyes always passed her intentionally or unintentionally and fell behind her, where Xiaoya was...

It would be fine if Xiaoya was just an ordinary maid, but Xiaoya is not. Xiaoya's appearance is actually not inferior to hers, but Xiaoya never dresses up deliberately. Xiaoya is well-educated and well-mannered. As the daughter of Chen Shimin, the greatest talent in Jiangnan, how could she be vulgar? It's just that Xiaoya knows how to hide her shortcomings.

She and Chunfeng had cold wars, but Xiaoya and Chunfeng gradually developed a tacit understanding. Did they think she was dead? But at that time, she didn't think that Xiaoya was arranged by Chunfeng to come back. She just simply thought that Xiaoya had that kind of feeling for Chunfeng and could no longer be trusted.

So, she had taken precautions against Cui Yan's matter, and it was fortunate that she had done so, otherwise, she would be in an extremely passive position now.

As a result, she lied casually yesterday and actually revealed the truth.

This was really intolerable. She wanted to kill Xiaoya, but killing her would be too easy. She wanted Xiaoya to live a life worse than death, and wanted Chunfeng to feel guilty forever.

However, at this moment, she is the one who is living a life worse than death.

She really had nothing. Her parents died early, the empress dowager passed away, her lover became a stranger, and she was betrayed by her subordinates... There were so many people in this world, but none of them had anything to do with her. She was all alone.

"Princess, the third young master is back." The nanny reported from outside.

Liuli's confused and painful look gradually became clear again. Her bright eyes were like ice crystals that had been frozen for ten thousand years, and a sad smile gradually appeared at the corners of her mouth.

No, she still has enemies. This world has given her indifference, alienation and betrayal, so she wants to let her enemies have a taste of the same.

The Marquis' Mansion values ​​reputation the most, so she will destroy the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion.

Ye Jinxuan is most proud of her cooking skills and Xia Chunyu's love for her, so she decided to make sure she would never be able to cook in her life.

And Chunfeng, the coldness in Liuli's eyes became even more intense. The man she couldn't get, no one else could get him either. She would rather destroy him than allow him to be with another woman.

Yes, she is stubborn and crazy. She would rather betray the world than be betrayed by the world, and she will stop at nothing to achieve her goal.

Thinking of this, Liuli jumped up and asked someone to bring her some food.

Her purpose in life from now on is to fight those people, and she cannot do that without a good body.

Chunfeng returned to the study, leaned back in the chair, rubbed his swollen temples, and asked the housekeeper who followed in.

"Where's the Third Young Madam?"

"The Third Young Madam has been staying in the mansion and has not sent anyone out," the housekeeper replied.

Chunfeng thought carefully, Liuli is really patient! Is she so sure that they can't find Cuiyan?
Now I just hope there will be news from Master Jiu as soon as possible. Every day of delay will bring more worries.

Chunfeng casually flipped through the several memorials on the desk. He had been restless all day and had no mood to deal with official business, so he had to take them home to work overtime.

Just after reading a memorial, the housekeeper came hurriedly to report that the third young lady had gone out.

Uh... Chunfeng was stunned. It was already this late and Liuli was still going out. Where was she going?

"Have you caught up?" Chunfeng asked anxiously.

"I've sent someone to catch up." Liuli went straight to Prince Yu's mansion, but Prince Yu was discussing matters with his staff, so the news of Liuli's request for a meeting was reported to A'ruan.

In the past, Lin was the one who had the final say in the inner courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion. Now that Lin has been divorced, Prince Yu's Consort is the only one left in the mansion. People who originally did not take Prince Yu's Consort seriously now have to obey her orders.

Ah Ruan was about to wash up, change clothes and prepare for bed when she heard that Liuli wanted to see Prince Yu. Ah Ruan was very surprised.

It’s so late, why is Liuli looking for Prince Yu?
A Ruan did not dare to be careless and quickly asked A Man to invite Liuli in.

Unexpectedly, Ah Man came back after a while and said that Princess Liuli left after hearing that Prince Yu was not available.

"Didn't you say what it was about?" A Ruan wondered.

Ah Man shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything, he just said he would come back another day."

Ah Ruan thought for a moment and said, "Go quietly to the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion and tell the Second Young Madam."

Ah Ruan always felt that this was strange. Liuli was close to Lin, but she never had any contact with Prince Yu every time she came to the palace. It was really strange that she suddenly came here.

Ye Jiayao thought about it for a long time after receiving the news. She couldn't figure out why Liuli was looking for Prince Yu at this time. Was she going to show her cards to Prince Yu? Or was she deliberately creating confusion?
Chunyu's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I think she is really crazy."

"Do you think she wants to throw the jar into the ground?" Ye Jiayao was confused and doubtful.

Chun Yu said, "What else? She also knows that we are doing our best to find Cui Yan. If we find her, what else would she do? She is fighting back and warning us. If we act rashly, she will hand Cui Yan over to Prince Yu without hesitation."

Ye Jiayao gasped. If that was true, then it would be a troublesome problem.

As soon as Liuli stepped into the yard, a cold voice came from the front: "What are you doing in Prince Yu's Mansion?"

A person walked out of the darkness.

Without even raising her eyelids, Liuli said in a contemptuous voice, "Is it not allowed for me to visit my brother? Is it against the law?"

Chun Feng looked at him solemnly: "Do you really have to do this? Who is wronging whom? You want to hurt someone, but they don't let you. Is it someone else's fault?"

Liuli sneered: "Xia Chunfeng, stop preaching to me, it's useless. In your eyes, in the eyes of your family, I am already an unforgivable woman, so I might as well be a villain to the end."

Xia Chunfeng was angry: "What do you want me to do to make you stop?"

Liuli was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her eyes with a calm expression: "I don't know either. I have no way out. You forced me to do this."

It's not that she didn't hope that if she could start all over again, she would definitely choose a different path and seek a simpler happiness. But there are no ifs. She can't go back, just like Chunfeng can no longer love her.

So, she could only move forward, even if she was smashed to pieces.

Xia Chunfeng stared at her for a long time without being able to speak. In the past, he was filled with joy whenever he saw her, and he would not be annoyed even if he listened to her endless complaints. He even thought it was fun to see her being little bit capricious and acting like a spoiled child. But at that time, he never thought that there would come a day when they would be speechless and filled with only disgust.

It's not like he hasn't reflected on himself. Is he also responsible for the way they have come to this point? If he gives her another chance, will she come back? But he really doesn't dare to hold on to such hope. Every hope will only make him more disappointed. His heart is made of flesh and blood, and he can't stand being hurt again and again.

Therefore, he had no choice but to give up, because he could no longer deceive his own heart, and couldn't even be perfunctory.

"Liuli, you said you regretted it, but you always do things that make you regret more. I can't stop you. Just do whatever you want to do. Isn't it just a matter of destroying both sides? I will accompany you to the end. Even if you hand Cuiyan over to Prince Yu, even if my elder brother or the Marquis' Mansion pays the price for this matter, it is all as it should be. If you make a mistake, you should be punished and pay the corresponding price. The same goes for you. When that day really comes, I will have nothing to worry about." Xia Chunfeng said these words very calmly, with the composure and composure of a person who is ready to fight to the death.

If he can't hide, then don't hide. But if he lets Liuli lead him by the nose because of fear, then not only he but also the entire Marquis' Mansion will be stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate themselves. It is better to just get it over with.

After Xia Chunfeng finished speaking, he turned and left.

Liuli just stood there. The early spring night wind was still so cold, chilling to the skin and bones. However, what was even colder was his determination.

Like an extremely sharp knife, it pierced into her heart and cut off her path.

She thought she had a good hand and could lead him by the nose, but he didn't want to play anymore. You can do whatever you want. No matter what the result is, he has to bear it.

Xia Chunfeng, you are so cruel...
