"You can't go, you really can't…"
After returning to the servant's room, Guan Yupian kept repeating the same sentence in the room until late at night. He wanted Guan Jiejue to change his mind and quickly pack up the luggage with her, ready to escape at any time.
Anyway, she had many enemies, so it didn't matter if she added one more person. Now, she had to escape.
"I've already promised wangye, how can I go back on my word?”Guan Jiejue covered her noisy mouth, indicating that Guan Lanzhi was still in a deep sleep, and asked her to speak softly. "In the end, it's all because of you that I have to help you now.”
He pretended to be a little angry, but in fact, he was quite happy that he could help her out.
" I…" She knew that she had made a mistake, but he shouldn't be the one to bear the consequences.
Only the heavens knew what his highness meant when he said he wanted him. If he really wanted to touch him, how could he teach her how to see his father after she died?
No! She definitely couldn't take this blow. If she wanted to know the truth, she might as well die. However, if she really closed her eyes, who would protect the siblings in the future? She was supposed to protect them, but now he had to…Oh, this won't do!
"He only said that he wanted me to go to the study to look for him tomorrow. You don't have to be so nervous, do you?”He looked at her from the corner of his eyes.
Was there a mistake? Was she crying for real or was she faking it?
He kept watching her act, and after a long time, even he couldn't tell if her tears were real or fake. However, the only thing he was sure of was that her tears could be " sold ", and they were " valuable ".
"You don't understand…"
This won't do. Something will definitely happen. She didn't mean to curse Jiejue, but King Tiele had a bad look on his face. If Jiejue served him, wouldn't he be sending a lamb to the tiger's mouth? She would rather bang her head against the wall than let him sacrifice so much for her.
This was the innocence of a young man. Although he was always disobedient and always contradicted her or bullied her, he was definitely not a heinous child.
Wu wu, her Jiejue was so beautiful and delicious that he would definitely be eaten by the lustful wangye. What should she do? What should she do?
God, why did Jie Jue have to take responsibility for her mistakes?
"What do I not understand? You look like you want to say something, but you're hesitating. It's as if His Highness will eat me up.”Guan Jiejue frowned in confusion.
Guan Yupian pursed her lips and looked at him with resentment.
Yes, he wanted to eat you up! She wanted to tell him everything, but she didn't dare to. She was afraid that he would hate her. But…if she didn't tell him, wouldn't she cause him to lose his innocence?
No way! Instead of regretting it in the future, she would rather choose to bring her children and escape overnight.
"Jiejue, let's go. We'll go now. Carry Little Lanzhi properly. I'll go and check out the situation first.”That's right! It was decided. She could not let herself be half-hearted and indecisive anymore. This matter could not be delayed any longer.
As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the door slightly and glanced left and right like a thief. However, she found that there were guards outside the servant's room. She could not help but fall helplessly by the door.
What should he do?
It was fine for her to feign a few moves with her flowery fists and embroidered legs, but if she were to fight with the two burly men outside, she would definitely be beaten to death.
"What are you doing?"
Guan Jiejue walked towards her in confusion. He wanted to pull her up, but she pulled him to her side instead.
"Hey! You're not my mother, how can you be so close to me!”
The more he wanted to push her away, the tighter she hugged him. His handsome face was flushed red, and he didn't know how to respond.
"Wuwu, Jiejue…I can't bear to do this. I made a mistake, why are you the one who has to bear it for me?”
Should he barge in? Definitely dead! But if he didn't escape, wouldn't he be bullied by this evil prince?
"I should only be a long-term worker in the residence. You don't have to look as if I'm going to die, right?”He frowned, unable to guess what she was thinking. "Although I've never worked before and don't know some rules, you don't have to make such a fuss, right?”
She was indeed acting very abnormally today. She was completely different from her usual arrogant and domineering self. Moreover, she was hugging him tightly. He didn't expect her temperament to be like a man, but her body was so soft. It made him blush and his heart beat faster. He wanted to push her away.
"Aiyo, why did you push it so hard?”Guan Yu, who was pushed to the ground by Guan Jiejue, rubbed his shoulder that had hit the door and glared at him angrily.
She was so worried about his safety, but he actually…She was so heartbroken!
"How old am I? Don't always stay by my side. Do you know anything about womanhood?”The flames of embarrassment spread across his face. He squatted back to the bed unnaturally and prepared to go to bed.
"You're my son. I'm worried about you. Can't I hug you?”Was she such a failure as a stepmother?
"Alright, since you treat me as your son, then you should know the principle of the son following the husband's death, right? If you really think of yourself as my mother, you must listen to what I say!”
He angrily lifted the blanket and glared at her to hide his discomfort.
"Tomorrow is my first day at work. I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the blanket over his head and turned his face to the Kang bed, stopping the conversation.
"Eh?"
How could this be? She was so worried about him, but he used these old doctrines to shut her up. Those were her old words.
Where did Jiejue go?
Guan Yupian ran around the mansion like a headless fly, but there were several places in the mansion that she could not enter. Thus, she could only stand outside the hall like a fool and wait without even having lunch.
"Could it be that this prince really ate Jie Jue?”
She couldn't find him the entire morning. Where did he hide him? If they were in the residence, they would all have to eat, right? It was impossible that they had not seen him yet.
"Who allowed you to stand outside?"
Tie Zhanye's ghost-like voice suddenly rang out, scaring her so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.
She hurriedly looked over and saw Guan Jiejue appear beside her, pushing the immobile King Tie Le.
"This servant has brought lunch for your highness." She said lightly, her eyes staring at Guan Jiejue, carefully examining his body and expression.
"Since you've already sent it over, why aren't you leaving?”Tie Zhanye looked at her coldly and ordered,""Jiejue, push me into the hall."
This woman was too bold. It was as if she had forgotten her impudence yesterday. She had forgotten that if he wanted to punish her, it would be easy. It had only been half a day since he found Guan Jiejue, and she was already standing outside the hall anxiously. Wasn't she looking down on him, the prince?
"Wangye, can this servant speak a few words with Jiejue?”She tried her best to put on a pitiful look.
Pity her. She was just a mother who pitied her child. She just wanted to ask him if he was all right.
After a while, Tie Zhanye still remained indifferent. Guan Jiejue couldn't help but bend down to ask him.
"Your Highness?"
"Push this king inside first."
Tie Zhanye smiled maliciously as he stared at Guan Yupian, who looked worried.
Was she worried about Guan Jiejue? Was she afraid that he would eat her up? Since she was worried, she would worry for a while longer.
"Yes." Guan Jiejue replied hurriedly. He shook his head at Guan Yupian and pushed Tie Zhanye into the hall.
He wanted to send her off like this? Don't even think about it! She had been looking for him for the whole morning and finally found Jie Jue. How could she not ask him about it?
Guan Yupian didn't care whether Tie Zhanye agreed or not. She rushed in and dragged Guan Jiejue out.
"Let me ask you, did he do anything to you?”Before she reached the door, she carefully whispered into Guan Jiejue's ear.
She knew that this time, she would be scolded by his highness again, but it was fine if she wanted to scold him. It would not be too late to scold him after she finished asking.
"Did he touch you?”
"What are you talking about? Why did your highness touch me?”Guan Jiejue quickly pulled her hand away from his shoulder. "What are you doing? Aren't you afraid that His Highness will blame you again? Do you want me to take the blame for you again?"
"I…"
Could it be that this prince did not do anything? Could it be that she was thinking wrongly? Otherwise, how could he not be moved by her handsome face? Unless he didn't like men at all!
Guan Yupian stole a glance at Tie Zhanye and found that his deep eyes were staring at her. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked away so that he wouldn't notice that she was secretly looking at him.
"Hurry up and go out. If you anger his highness, it will be terrible.”Guan Jiejue hardened his heart and pushed her out of the hall, forcing her to leave.
" But my words…" She hadn't finished asking.
"Let her in." Tie Zhanye's voice sounded again. It was an order that could not be disobeyed.
Hearing this, Guan Yupian and Guan Jiejue looked at him at the same time. They hesitated for a moment, afraid that Tie Zhanye would think of some way to bully them again.
"Still not coming in?" Tie Zhanye growled.
Why? Could it be that he could eat people? This pair of mother and son really had the same nostrils, as if he really had fangs in his mouth, and they avoided him like the plague.
"Yes."
Guan Jiejue quickly replied. His sweaty hand held Guan Yupian's hand tightly and led her into the side hall, as if they were entering a beast's cave.
Guan Yupian looked up at Guan Jiejue in surprise.
Yo, was he trying to protect her?
Hehe, although he didn't say anything and even liked to argue with her, he still respected her and treated her as his mother. Wuwu, Jie Jue treated her so well, she must treat him sincerely.
"Are you the chef for lunch today?”Tie Zhanye's expression was cold, but he didn't let go of Guan Jiejue's unreasonable grip on Guan Yupian's hand.
Even though she was the stepmother, he shouldn't have done such a thing, right? This action should only be done for the person he liked, and he…could it be that he had fallen in love with his stepmother? There seemed to be an extremely subtle relationship between the two of them.
"Yes, this servant is in charge of the kitchen. I wonder if it suits your highness 'taste?”She bowed slightly, trying her best to show her inferiority.
Sigh, she asked for it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen into such a situation today. Not only was she unable to get out of it, but Jiejue was also dragged into the water by her.
"It tastes terrible." Tie Zhanye looked at the table full of delicacies.
"Huh?" She was stunned. "Your Highness hasn't eaten yet, who knows…"
"This king has never eaten low-grade dishes. Remove all of them for this king and ask another chef to open the stove.”Tie Zhanye said coldly.
She was really a frog at the bottom of a well who had never seen the world. She actually wanted to use this coarse food to fill his mouth that could only swallow delicacies, but…!!……If he wanted to be a plaything to warm his bed, he could play with it for the time being.
"Wait! His Highness had not even tasted it, so how could he be sure that the dish was unpalatable?”This time, she was not going to comply. Although she had always been concerned about Jie Jue's safety, she had not been careless with the food. He had not even tasted it and had already ordered it to be removed. How could she accept it?
Who said that it had to be a feast with eight delicacies to taste good? She could make delicious dishes without using those precious ingredients. That was true kung fu.
"This king doesn't need to taste it to know if it's to my liking.”He laughed.
Guan Yu narrowed her eyes, wanting to give him a punch. This was too detestable. Were all nobles like this? She was simply spoiled!
She walked forward proudly, picked up a piece of roasted duck meat with silver chopsticks, and put it on top of the small mustache cake. Then, she dipped it in her special sauce and brought it to Tie Zhanye's lips without any explanation.
"Please have a taste, Your Highness." Although this wasn't a first-class delicacy, it was definitely a taste that could make his appetite increase.
Tie Zhanye looked at her in astonishment." Withdraw!"”He shouted in annoyance.
Too impudent, she actually dared to act so rashly. She had forgotten how much he had done for her and actually did not kowtow to thank him for not killing her. If he didn't want a child to be his heir, if Guan Jiejue's background wasn't still unknown, he wouldn't have allowed her to be so presumptuous here!
"No, please have a taste of this dish first. If this dish really doesn't suit your taste, this servant will immediately remove it.”It was obviously very delicious. If he wanted to complain that her cooking was unpalatable, he should at least try it first. The commoners outside the residence wanted to eat these things, but they might not be able to.
Tie Zhanye glared at her in anger. He couldn't believe that she would be so bold as to keep declaring war on his patience. No one dared to treat him like this. Even though his leg was already crippled, no one dared to be so rude to him. She was just a commoner, even a widow, but she actually…
"Mother, don't be like this!"
Guan Jiejue was standing at the side. He was already drenched in cold sweat from the fright she had given him. He didn't know if he should stop her. However, when he saw Tie Zhanye's expression change, he realized that if he didn't say anything, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"What's wrong with me?" She pursed her lips." Jiejue, you've tasted my cooking too. No matter how much you dislike me, at least you've never disliked my cooking.”She didn't dare to say that her cooking skills were excellent, but she was confident that they were definitely not bad.
"Mother, what do you think this place is?”Guan Jiejue sighed heavily.
What was wrong with her? Wasn't she very smart in the past? Why was she so inflexible now? If her method was used to deal with an ordinary wealthy merchant, it would be successful. However, this was not an ordinary mansion. This was the residence of King Tiele. If she did not go according to His Highness 'wishes, she would be beheaded.
"So what if it's the Imperial Residence? I didn't poison the dishes I made. Moreover, they look, smell, and taste good. Why don't you try them? These were things that ordinary people could not eat even if they wanted to. If the Imperial Residence was so rich that it could be squandered, why didn't it open a granary to help the poor? He knew how wasteful it was to always remove food that did not taste good.”Just the thought of the table full of dishes being thrown away made her heart ache.
It didn't matter if his leg was crippled. She would prepare a sedan chair for him and bring him all the way to Jiangnan. Then, he would know that the capital was so rich that it made people afraid.
"What does this king have to do with you? You, a little chef, dare to be impudent in front of this king. Aren't you being too rash!”Tie Zhanye's deep voice carried a terrifying killing intent as he stared at her without blinking.
He was crippled and could not walk, but he was still a prince. He was the master of this prince's mansion. His orders were not to be questioned, but she actually looked down on him.
Guan Yupian saw him open his mouth and immediately stuffed the roasted duck into his mouth.
"Try it. The taste is definitely not bad.”She was very confident.
Tie Zhanye raised his thick eyebrows and immediately spat out the roasted duck roll in his mouth, showing no mercy to her.
"Eh?" She didn't expect him to do this, and she was a little dumbfounded.
Aiya, wasn't his behavior worse than Jie Jue? She didn't have to do this, and she could have obediently removed the dishes. But regardless of how much hard work she had put in for this table of dishes, he should also know that food should not be wasted.
What a spoiled prince. He stayed high and mighty in such a large mansion and made himself seem arrogant and conceited. It was as if no one could ignore his orders, but he did not listen to his advice. What kind of method was this? This was too unreasonable, right?
Did she think that she was at her wit's end after he spat it out?
Hmph, she had always been good at dealing with such reclusive men. Not eating? She wanted him to eat it.
She suddenly picked up a piece of fish and quickly stuffed it into his mouth before he could close his mouth, but he spat it out again, making her angry.
" Your Highness…" She gritted her teeth in anger.
Tie Zhanye looked at her coldly and revealed a wicked smile. Did she really think that he had to eat such coarse food just because she wanted him to?
She was so unruly and rude, but it didn't matter. It was still within the range of what he could tolerate. Anyway, it was quite fun to go back and forth with her. If she really wanted to play…that was fine. Anyway, in these few years, there was no one who could go against him. It was fine to exchange blows with her.
Guan Yupian was so angry that she wanted to bite him. However, when she saw his malicious and provocative smile, she also raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Did he really think that she was at her wit's end?
She picked up a piece of braised mutton and put it into her mouth to chew slowly. She smiled at Guan Jiejue, whose face was ashen, and then at Tie Zhanye, who was stunned. Her smile became even more charming.
Out of the blue, she grabbed Tie Zhanye's chin with one hand and quickly bent down like an eagle to put the mutton in his mouth. Seeing that his eyes were as wide as copper bells, she couldn't help but feel proud.
How was it? Wouldn't she have succeeded then?#
