Chapter 1377: The Battered And Miserable Qing Zhu III
“Why?” Feng Ruqing was a little confused.
Nan Xian answered with a straight face, “In the future, I can take care of everything from food, clothes, to lodging. There will be no need for handmaidens, so why waste that money? Or perhaps you could dispatch them to do some other work.”
Feng Ruqing felt that this made a lot of sense.
She did not need any servants to serve her, and it was a waste of money to keep them...
“What about this, I’ll let Qing Ling and Liu Li train under Tang Zi. They’ve consumed a lot of spirit herb dishes, so now their powers have had visible improvements. Oh, but don’t let them know that I’ve sent them away because I wanted to save on monthly expenses.”
Unbeknownst to Qing Ling and Liu Li, because Feng Ruqing had been hugging them left and right before all this, now that Nan Xian had become her imperial consort... he wanted to kick these two servants out of the princess’s manor the moment a chance arose.
Doing so without ever giving them an opportunity to return!
Nan Xian looked down, letting his gaze fall on Feng Ruqing’s face.
The man’s gaze was not as cold as before, instead, it carried a warm light.
“Qing’er, let’s go back...”
“Master!!!”
A hysterical voice called out suddenly from behind, interrupting Nan Xian’s words and catching Feng Ruqing’s attention.
Nan Xian’s expression chilled slightly as he turned to look at the little grey snake slithering out from the bushes.
Yes, a little grey snake!
At that moment, Qing Zhu was covered in dust and grey all over. There were even two pieces of leaves on his head. His eyes were filled with tears and his voice sounded pained and miserable.
He seemed to have suffered countless grievances and hardships.
“Who are you?”
Feng Ruqing was stupefied. She stared blankly at the grey-colored tiny snake and kept quiet for a while before asking.
‘Hmm, this little snake’s voice... sounds quite familiar...’
“Princess, you’re too mean!” Qing Zhu wailed out loud like a two hundred pound child. “You guys just left me at that strange Fang Zhu Mainland without a word. I have finally found an opportunity to escape and have gone through so many hardships and experienced countless grievances to come home, and...”
There was humiliation and anger in Qing Zhu’s eyes. “And you have actually forgotten about me! I know it, you guys must have found another snake, so you have forgotten about me. I want to run away and never come back, so don’t you try to stop me!”
He turned, crying, and was about to leave.
However, he was slow, like he was stalling.
After a moment, no one said anything to stop him. Qing Zhu looked back, peeved. “I’m really leaving, why aren’t you guys stopping me? Once I leave this time, I won’t ever come back!”
Feng Ruqing was still lost and finally regained her senses slowly. She stared absentmindedly at the miserable and pitiful little snake.
“You’re... Qing Zhu?”
Qing Zhu snorted. “Even if you recognize me now it’s no use. I’m angry and won’t ever be coaxed!”
“Oh.” Feng Ruqing was nonchalant. “Where did you run off to all this time? Why didn’t you follow the state preceptor back? Did you run off somewhere with a female snake, and she has pulled a cuckoo on you, that’s why you came back so battered?”
When Feng Ruqing said this, she subconsciously glanced at the two green leaves on Qing Zhu’s head.
‘Not only was this Qing Zhu cheated on, but he has even brought back the other cuckold’s nest...’
Qing Zhu raged, “Weren’t you the ones who have left me? When you left Fang Zhu Mainland, you left me behind at the palace and went away yourselves!”
