Although the weather was cold today, it did not snow. At this time, the plum blossoms in the garden of Prince Wen's residence were in full bloom.
The branches of the plum trees were decorated with plum blossoms of all sizes. The white ones were elegant, and the red ones were beautiful. It was a beautiful sight.
In the garden, Yi Xin was enjoying the flowers with his two close female friends.
With Luo Wen on his right and Yi Die 'er on his left, the wine became especially delicious with the company of the two beauties.
"Come, let's drink!" Yi Xin, who was already half-drunk, wanted the two beauties to feed him wine.
"Die 'er, to the Lord!" Yi Die 'er clung onto Yi Xin's body, completely ignoring the others.
The others referred to the three maids who served here. Of course, Yi Xue 'er was one of them.
Seeing Yi Xin being so intimate with them, she still felt her heart ache.
Although she had repeatedly convinced herself that this kind of thing was unavoidable, as long as she continued to stay by Yi Xin's side, this kind of thing would happen again and again.
Even if she was his wife today, she would have to face such a situation, let alone a servant girl.
However, she really couldn't stand this. She really, really wanted to have him all to herself!
Now, Yi Xin's eyes were no longer looking at her. Even if she was right beside him, it was as if she did not exist in his eyes.
"Lord Baylor, don't keep forcing me to drink!”Yi Die 'er didn't know if it was on purpose or if she really didn't want Yi Xin to ignore Yi Xue' er, but she pulled Yi Xue 'er, who was standing behind, to the front.
"Don't forget about my sister, Lord Baylor, let my sister have a drink!”
" Die 'er, you…" Yi Xue' er, who was looking at Yi Xin uneasily, felt her heart beating rapidly.
At this moment, Yi Xin finally looked at Yi Xue 'er in the eye. This was the first time ever since the incident in the study that he had her in his eyes.
"Alright!" Yi Xin finished his own wine in one gulp, then poured the wine himself and brought it to Yi Xue 'er.
"Drink this cup of wine." he said simply.
Yi Xue 'er tried her best to steady herself, but her outstretched hand was still trembling uncontrollably.
"Xue 'er thanks the Baylor for bestowing wine." she said, shifting the glass to her lips.
"Just a sip?" Yi Xin glared at her. "I personally poured wine for you, but you only took a sip?”
Yi Xue 'er shook her head in fear." No, because I don't know how to drink.”The first taste of wine made her feel very uncomfortable.
"You don't know how to drink?" Yi Xin's bloodshot eyes made her panic. "Even if I want you to drink ten glasses of wine today, you have to drink it obediently. Drink!”
He grabbed her hand so hard that she cried out in pain.
"Drink it!" Yi Xin ignored her pain and grabbed her, forcing her to finish the rest of the wine.
"No!" Yi Xue 'er smelled the pungent smell of alcohol and instinctively pushed Yi Xin's hand away.
Yi Xin didn't think that she would really dare to push him. He didn't know what was going on, but this glass of wine was poured all over his face.
"Impudent!" Yi Xin was furious and reached out to grab her.
" Ah!" Yi Xue 'er was frightened. She jumped up and ran away.
" Stop right there!" Yi Xin's dissatisfaction towards Yi Xue 'er exploded at this moment. He chased after Yi Xue' er with large strides.
Yi Xue 'er ran as fast as she could, hoping that Yi Xin wouldn't catch her.
She ran as fast as she could.
However, she had forgotten one thing. Even if Yi Xin was drunk, he was still a martial artist. It was only a matter of time before he caught up to her.
Just as Yi Xin's hand was about to reach her, she panicked. She didn't know if it was the uneven road or if she had stepped on something, but she fell forward heavily.
Yi Xin was shocked by this sudden turn of events. Without thinking, he reached out his hand to Yi Xue 'er, who was about to fall to the ground.
When he touched her clothes, he did something that he could not believe.
That was-his hand actually withdrew.
He didn't know why he didn't help her up. Even if he hated her, his love for her was definitely more than his hatred for her.
The moment he saw Yi Xue 'er fall to the ground, endless regret surged into his heart.
" Xue 'er..." At this moment, he stretched out his hand again, but the mistake had already been made.
"Xue 'er!" The one who screamed was Xue Ru, who happened to pass by. She rushed up to push Yi Xin away and hugged Xue 'er who was lying on the ground.
"Xue 'er, how are you? Are you alright?" Xue Ru shouted anxiously.
"Ge Ge." Yi Xue 'er looked at the anxious Xue Ru and said with difficulty,""Ge Ge, don't worry. I think I'm fine.”
Seeing that Yi Xue 'er could still speak, Xue Ru felt relieved. However, she was still worried.
"Can you stand up?" she asked Yi Xue 'er.
Yi Xue 'er nodded and slowly stood up with the help of Xue Ru.
Yi Xue 'er felt pain in a few places on her body. She thought that it should be some flesh wounds. At least her hands and feet were not injured. She could stand and move her hands freely.
"Big brother, you're too much!" Xue Ru started to scold Yi Xin. "I saw everything. Why didn't you help Xue 'er up? Did you deliberately hurt her?”
"So what if I am?" Yi Xin did not hide his mistake at all. "Do I have to help her? Who said that a master must help his servant? Is there such a rule in the laws of our Qing Dynasty?”
" You…" Xue Ru was about to go mad. She didn't expect Yi Xin to be so unreasonable.
"Why do you always bully Xue 'er?”"You know how Xue 'er feels about you…" Xue Ru said angrily.
" Ge Ge, please don't say it!" Yi Xue 'er begged. She didn't want them to argue over her. She couldn't afford it!
"Humph!" Yi Xin snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"Big brother, stop right there!" Xue Ru chased after Yi Xin. This culprit, she would not let him leave!
" Ge Ge, don't…" Xue 'er suddenly felt dizzy. She could barely stand.
"Xue 'er, how are you?" Xue Ru saw Yi Xue 'er's body sway, so she quickly turned around to help her.
"I…I want to lie down." Yi Xue 'er said weakly.
"Then let's hurry back." Xueru let Yi Xin go for now. She had to help Yi Xue 'er heal first.
"Xue 'er, have a glass of water!" Xue Ru walked to the bed with the hot tea in her hands.
" Ge Ge, you're killing me." Yi Xue 'er said as she got off the bed.
"Don't move!" Xue Ru hurriedly stopped her. "The doctor said that you need to rest more.”
"Ge Ge, you're so nice to me," Yi Xue 'er said gratefully."But how can I let Ge Ge serve me?"”
Xue Ru giggled. "Just pouring tea means serving you? You're exaggerating!"
Yi Xue 'er smiled as well.
Looking at Yi Xue 'er's pale face, Xue Ru sighed and said,""Fortunately, it's only some superficial injuries. Otherwise, let's see if I'll let Big Brother off!”
The smile on Yi Xue 'er's face disappeared. She said sadly,""Ge Ge, it's all in the past. I just fell. It's no big deal.”
"You're still protecting him at a time like this?”Xue Ru shook her head. "I just don't understand. Why don't you blame my brother for treating you like this?”
"Why would I blame him? Because…I love him so much!”
Yi Xue 'er did not need to hide her feelings in front of Xue Ru.
"Xue 'er?"
" I really want to stay by his side and serve him for the rest of my life, but..." Yi Xue 'er shook her head, and even the tears in her eyes flowed out.
Xue Ru held her trembling hand and said gently,""Xue 'er, tell me, does my brother know about your feelings for him?”
"I don't know," Yi Xue 'er said with a choked voice. " Although I can't be sure…" She looked at Xueru pleadingly." Ge Ge, it's not entirely his fault for treating me like this. There's a reason."”
Yi Xue 'er told him about Yi Xin wanting to take her as his concubine. At the same time, she also told him the reason why she rejected Yi Xin.
Yi Xue 'er said with tears in her eyes," Lord Baylor misunderstood that I was delusional to be his wife, but it's really not!" Rather than having him with another woman, I would rather be his servant girl. But he didn't believe me. He thought I was a greedy woman.”
"Then go and tell him!" Xue Ru shouted anxiously."Why did you let him misunderstand you? I only know now that Big Brother is also interested in you. I understand now. He must have felt embarrassed to be rejected by you. You hurt his self-esteem, so he was heartless to you."Yes, that must be the case!"
"Ge Ge, you're right. I was in the wrong first, which is why he's treating me like this.”Yi Xue 'er said softly.
Xue Ru grabbed Yi Xue 'er's hand excitedly. "Xue 'er, you can't keep silent anymore! Go and tell him how much you love him. I believe that as long as he still has feelings for you, he will definitely understand your previous rejection.”
"Ge Ge, can I really do this?”Yi Xue 'er looked at Xueru with tears in her eyes. "Can I really love Lord Baylor openly? Can my looks really make me do this?”
Xue Ru encouraged her. "Yes, why not? As long as my big brother can accept you, who dares to say that you're not worthy of him? No one is perfect. So what if your face is flawed? I think big brother must not only see your appearance, but also your heart. That's why he wants to take you as his concubine!”
" Ge Ge…" Although Yi Xue 'er was crying, there was a smile on her tear-soaked face. She nodded and said,
"Ge Ge, you're right. I should be braver. I don't want to give up on Lord Bei Le. I'll tell him, I'll tell him soon!”
The conversation with Xueru had helped Yi Xue 'er walk out of her inferiority complex and not let herself be trapped in a city of worry.
Previously, because she cared too much about Yi Xin, and because she did not have confidence in herself, she did not dare to say that she loved him. She would rather let Yi Xin misunderstand her.
After a night of thinking, she finally mustered her courage. Even if she failed, it didn't matter. She wanted Yi Xin to know her feelings.
She moved her body that was still hurting slightly, but she took every step bravely and firmly.
Yes, she was going to find Yi Xin. She had so many things to tell him.
She was anxious to see Yi Xin, but she didn't expect the heavens to let her see someone first.
"Xue 'er!" Appearing in front of Yi Xue 'er was Yi Die' er's former dream lover, Yu Qi.
"It's you!" "Why are you here?" Yi Xue 'er cried out in shock.”
"I climbed over the wall!" Yuqi's passionate eyes locked onto her. "As expected of the wang fu. If I hadn't been discovered, it would have taken me a lot of effort to come here.”
"Are you here to see Die 'er?"
Yu Qi shook his head," I didn't know she was here. Xue 'er, I came to find you."”
"Looking for me?"
"Yes!" Yuqi looked at her longingly," Xue 'er, I can't bear it anymore. I want to see you so much that I'm going crazy!”
The sound of clapping startled them. They turned around to look.
" Lord Baylor…" Yi Xue 'er's face was pale.
"What an infatuated seed!" Yi Xin glared at Yi Xue 'er before looking at Yuqi." Your name is Yuqi, and your father is Grand Secretary Yu?”
"Yes." Yuqi bowed to Yi Xin. "Yi Xin Bei Lei, sorry for the offense."
"You also know that you have offended me?" Yi Xin's eyes shone coldly. "How dare you trespass into Prince Wen's residence. You're not afraid of death, but aren't you afraid of implicating your father?”
"For the sake of the person I love, I didn't think so much!”
The person he loved? Yi Xin shifted his gaze to Yi Xue 'er's face and she suddenly felt cold.
"Is she the person you love?" Yi Xin asked coldly.
"Yes! I'm here to take her away today. Please grant me your wish, Baylor!" Yu Qi said loudly.”
"Yuqi!" Yi Xue 'er called out to Yu Qi. "How can you say that? I…"
"Shut up!" Yi Xin interrupted Yi Xue 'er's unfinished words.
" Lord Baylor?" Yi Xue 'er's eyes widened in surprise.
Yi Xin didn't look at her. He looked straight at Yuqi, raised his chin and said,""Aren't you too rash? What would you do if I didn't agree?”
Yu Qi said fearlessly,"Whatever the Lord wants me to do, I will do it. As long as I can get Xue 'er, I will do anything and make any sacrifice!"”
Yi Xue 'er, who was standing between the two men, was speechless for a moment. She stared at Yu Qi faintly, her heart unable to say whether she was touched or grateful.
Was she really worth Yuqi doing this for her? No, she was not worth it!
Yi Xue 'er looked at Yuqi pleadingly. I'm not worth anything for you to do for me. Please don't…"
"I want it. You know what I want! No matter what you look like in the eyes of others, to me, you're worth everything!”Yuqi had forgotten about Yi Xin's existence. Right now, he only had Yi Xue 'er in his eyes.
"Yuqi." Yi Xue 'er's eyes reddened. She was really speechless.
The two of them who were looking at each other didn't notice that Yi Xin's murderous gaze was fiercely shooting at them.
This adulterous couple! Yi Xin couldn't stand this. He gritted his teeth and said loudly to Yuqi,""Take this woman away! Leave immediately!"
Yu Qi was pleasantly surprised, but Yi Xue 'er had an expression of disbelief.
"Lord Bei, you want me to go with him?”Yi Xue 'er's entire body was trembling.
Yi Xin sneered." Isn't this what you wanted?”
"No!" Yi Xue 'er wanted to grab Yi Xin's sleeve, but Yi Xin quickly stepped back and let her grab nothing.
"Don't touch me!" He shouted angrily.
" Lord Baylor, I beg you…" Yi Xue 'er could not help but cry." Don't chase me away, I…"
"What did you do to me?" Yi Xin said coldly," To tell you the truth, I only hate you now. The last thing I want to see is your face. It makes me sick."”
Yi Xue 'er pressed on her aching chest and staggered backward.
"Xue 'er!" Yuqi caught her in time and said angrily,""Yi Xin Bei Lei, why did you insult Xue 'er? Do you know how much damage you've done to Xue' er?”
Yuqi's sleeve was pulled by someone. It was Yi Xue 'er.
"Yuqi, don't!" Yi Xue 'er looked at him pleadingly.
Yu Qi sighed in his heart. Yi Xue 'er's gaze made all his anger disappear.
" Lord Baylor…" Xue 'er looked at Yi Xin with tears in her eyes, hoping that he would look at her again.
But she was disappointed because Yi Xin didn't even want to spare her a glance.
"Get lost and never come back!”Yi Xin left after saying that.
"Lord Baylor!" Xue 'er wanted to chase after him, but her entire body was weak. She only took a few steps before she knelt on the ground.
" Woo, Lord Baylor…" She fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
Yuqi stood beside her. Looking at her heartbroken face, he couldn't find any words to comfort her.
That night, Yi Xue 'er's people were already at Yu Qi's house.
She had been chased out of Prince Wen's residence. Other than Yi Xin, she had not told anyone else. Since he had decided to disappear, he had to disappear completely!
After entering the Yu family's guest room, Yi Xue 'er sat on the chair like a motionless doll.
She did not eat, drink, or speak.
Looking at her like this, Yuqi had an unspeakable heartache. It was already past midnight. Was she going to continue sitting like this? Yuqi couldn't stand it anymore. He walked to Yi Xue 'er and squatted down.
His actions made Yi Xue 'er look up at him. With just one glance, her frighteningly pale face lowered again.
Xue 'er, please look at me." He called her gently.
Yi Xue 'er seemed to move a little, but she still kept her head down.
Yuqi let out a long sigh. "Forget it, I'll send you back to Prince Wen's residence!”
Yi Xue 'er quickly raised her head and said softly,""Don't do this to me. That place is no longer a place I can stay in.”
"I'm sorry. I'm the one who made things like this.”Yuqi did not regret it, because his brusque, reckless hurt Xue Er.
"No, this is not your fault." Yi Xue 'er comforted him instead.
"Xue 'er, I hope you can answer me honestly.”Yuqi looked at her seriously and said,"What is the relationship between you and Yi Xin?"”
Yi Xue 'er's eyes, which had finally dried up, became hot again. She lowered her head and said in pain,"" Yuqi, I know what you're thinking. I don't want to say too much. I can only say that I'm not as perfect as you think. My body is already, already..."
"Don't say anymore." Yuqi gently pressed her mouth with a finger and said gently,""Even so, to me, you're still the Xue 'er I love. My feelings for you won't change, and my feelings for you won't change either.”
"Yuqi." Yi Xue 'er burst into tears and grabbed Yuqi's hand.
Yuqi took advantage of the situation and pulled her into his arms.
"Why are you so good to me? Why?" Yi Xue 'er sobbed. "My body has already been given to someone else. Why are you still willing to take me? I'm not worthy!"
"Don't say anything else about whether you're worthy or not!”Yuqi gently touched her back. "I know you can't forget Yi Xin and Baylor. It's okay, I will wait for you. I believe that one day, you will know that I am more worthy of your love than Yi Xin and Baylor!”
Hearing these words, Yi Xue 'er's tears flowed even faster and more.
Now, she didn't want to think about anything else. She would just let this man who loved her hug her like this!
As for the man who no longer loved her, she didn't want to think about it anymore. She was tired. Now, she just wanted to find someone she could rely on.
Without Yi Xue 'er, the residence of Prince Wen was livelier than before.
Every night, music could be heard in the hall of the Prince's mansion. The music would not stop until dawn.
There was music, beauties, wine, and of course, delicacies.
It had been ten days in a row. Yi Xin and his girls had been enjoying themselves crazily for ten days.
Just like the previous nine days, Yi Xin, who was completely drunk, was lying in the arms of a beauty.
"Lord Baylor, have another cup!" A famous prostitute in Beijing said.
"Yes, yes!" The rest of the prostitutes scrambled to get Yi Xin to give them a caring look. Suddenly, Yi Xin was surrounded by more than ten prostitutes.
"Lord Baylor, don't sleep. Get up and have another drink with me!”
"Lord Baylor, quickly get up! I want you to feed me wine!"
"I hate it, I also want to…"
"So noisy!" Yi Xin, who should have been drunk, suddenly stood up. His eyes were red as he shouted at these women,""Get lost, all of you!"
Yi Xin's angry roar frightened everyone. Suddenly, Yi Xin was the only one left in the huge hall.
"It's best if they leave. I don't want to see any of them.”He muttered and poured the wine on the table into his mouth again.
That way, the woman he shouldn't be thinking about wouldn't appear in his mind. If he didn't think about her, he wouldn't feel pain.
Therefore, he had to drink as much as he could until he was drunk. It did not matter even if he drank until he died.
As long as he did not think of her, he was willing to drink a thousand glasses.
As long as she could make him not think of her…
