Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 187 Ununderstood Kindness

Xiao Guoer looked at Wu Qingqing with some doubts, and noticed that her smile was very forced, her eyes were full of sadness, and her face seemed pale. She couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Miss Qingqing, what's wrong? What happened?"

Wu Qingqing looked up at the bright and shining eyes of the person in front of her, and a sour and embarrassing sadness surged in her heart. She tried hard to swallow the bitterness in her heart and said with a forced smile, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao Guoer. I'm fine."

Wu Qingqing had just heard the Eighth Prince's order suddenly, and she felt like she was struck by lightning. She was in a daze for the moment, and even if she wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, she was unable to adjust her mentality and expression in such a short time.

Xiao Guoer could naturally see that Wu Qingqing was forcing an unnatural smile. She suddenly glanced at the yard behind Wu Qingqing and an idea flashed in her mind.

She held back, wanting to speak but stopping for a long while, looked around to see that there was no one around, and finally couldn't help but whispered, "Miss Qingqing, you don't know, the Eighth Prince is just good-looking, has better martial arts, and a nobler status, but in fact he is ungrateful, petty, and likes to repay favors and use his power to oppress others. He is very difficult to get along with!"

As he spoke, he curled his lips, deliberately showing a look of disdain, and then continued mysteriously, "Besides, he has a fiancée in the capital who is well matched with him and whom he loves very much, so the Eighth Prince is not a good match. If you feel sad for him, it's really not worth it!"

Wu Qingqing felt even more bitter after hearing this. It was even more bitter than swallowing a handful of Coptis chinensis, and it made her heart, liver, spleen and lungs taste bitter.

The things that others treasure and desire so much, she treats as trash. How unfair is this world!

Her heart was filled with bitter seeds that were bound to bear the bitter fruit of evil.

Wu Qingqing clenched the handkerchief in her hand, holding back her tears, and her voice, which was suppressed by her emotions, trembled a little. "I have taken note of Master Xiao Guo'er's warning. I am of low status, so I am not worthy of such a person who seems like a banished immortal, and I have never dreamed of it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"I'm not admonishing you! Please don't misunderstand me. It's all my fault." Xiao Guo'er regretted her meddling in other people's business. She was afraid that the little beauty might think wrong, so she said quickly, "Ms. Qingqing is beautiful, kind, and clever. Please don't underestimate yourself! In my opinion, the Eighth Prince is not worthy of Miss Qingqing, not that Miss Qingqing is not worthy of him! Miss Qingqing is worthy of anyone!"

But how could Wu Qingqing listen to her kind words of advice now? She was very confused and her internal organs were churning. She really didn't want to face this little girl who knew nothing and was kept in the dark...

"Thank you for your consolation, Young Master Xiao Guo'er, but I really have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

"Well then... Miss Qingqing, be careful on your way!"

Xiao Guoer sighed softly, and looked at Wu Qingqing's receding back with some annoyance. She regretted her talkativeness again. Although she had good intentions, kindness that was inappropriate at the wrong time or was not understood was unnecessary!

Forget it, everyone has their own ideas and destiny, which cannot be changed by others, so just let her be!

After Xiao Guoer figured it out, she stopped worrying about it and went back to her room to wash up and go to bed.

For the next two days, she and Tang Jingchen finally had nothing to do, so they were both free and had a good time to tour Huaiyang City.

They strolled along the busy and crowded streets, feeling the unique charm of the city. They tasted the famous local delicacies, experienced the unique customs of Huaiyang City and the enthusiasm of the people. These two days of strolling made them forget all their worries and completely relax and enjoy the quiet time.

Just waiting to set off again back to the capital.

Since the Emperor learned that his son was assassinated again in Huaiyang City, he was furious and specially issued an order to dispatch a general stationed outside Shangjing City to lead 3,000 elite cavalry to Huaiyang City to rescue his poor son who had worked hard but was unfortunately seriously injured.

Not only that, His Majesty the Emperor also issued a strict order, ordering the Huaiyang officials to go all out and launch a comprehensive hunt for the remnants of the previous dynasty, and not to let any fish that slip through the net go. Once discovered, they will be executed immediately without any leniency.

With the emperor sending troops to pick them up, they no longer have to worry about safety issues when they set out again, and no longer have to worry about assassins ambushing or dropping from the sky.

In this way, Xiao Guoer felt more at ease and just spent her time eating, drinking and having fun with her boyfriend.

One day, they had just returned from the Huaiyang market when they met Wu Qingqing at the door of the room, who was holding a lunch box and had a faint smile on her face.

"It's so hot, you two young masters will definitely feel the heat after playing outside all day. I specially prepared some bowls of soup to cool you down. Come and have a bowl to cool down your body." Wu Qingqing said softly, her tone was gentle and kind. She gently placed the food box on the table, then opened the lid, and a faint fragrance came to her nose.

"Wow, Miss Qingqing has made delicious food again? We are in for a treat again!" Xiao Guoer happily took the food box from Wu Qingqing's hand and took it to the small pavilion under the corridor.

The three of them sat together in the pavilion, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The setting sun shines through the leaves into the pavilion, creating mottled light and shadows, making the whole scene look particularly warm.

Xiao Guo'er ate the sweet and sour soup, and was even happier when she saw Wu Qingqing's gentle and charming face with lowered brows and a faint smile.

Since that night when she said those words to Wu Qingqing, Wu Qingqing often made some snacks and brought them to them over the past two days, and she stopped going to the Eighth Prince's place.

At that time, Xiao Guoer felt that Wu Qingqing looked resentful and didn't seem to listen to her words. She didn't expect that she would change so much in the past two days. Maybe after returning home that night, she thought about it carefully and still felt that what she said made sense? So she was very grateful to her?

Thinking this way, Xiao Guo'er felt that she had really done a great thing to save the innocent girl from danger, and her mood became better.

"Miss Qingqing's cooking skills are so good, but it's a pity that I won't be able to eat it again when I return to Shangjing City. I'm afraid I will miss the snacks and soups made by Miss Qingqing very much in the future."

Wu Qingqing just smiled after hearing her words and said softly: "Life is long, who can predict the future? Maybe we will meet again by fate, and then I will definitely prepare a special surprise for the two gentlemen."

"You're right! Who knows, I might get so greedy that I'll come to Huaiyang to look for you again. You mustn't break your promise then!"

"Then Qingqing feels very honored, how could she go back on her word?"

The two smiled at each other, feeling like they were close friends who understood and appreciated each other.
