Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 205: You’ve Learned to Negotiate Terms with This Prince?

Chapter 205: Chapter 205: You’ve Learned to Negotiate Terms with This Prince?

Chu Huaiyu heard this, and her face turned even paler, devoid of any color.

She forcefully pushed Qing Ming away, her voice trembling like a fragile thread, "I... I’m fine, my illness... has long been cured, there’s no need... for you to support me."

Looking at Qing Ming, those spiteful eyes clearly hid a thin layer of mist.

So pitiable, yet so stubborn, it broke Qing Ming’s heart to see her like this.

"Miss Li! You’re going too far!" Qing Ming turned around and glared at Chu Qianli, his teeth gritted in anger.

But because the Prince was there, even though he was infuriated, he dared not speak his mind.

"Miss Huaiyu..." Seeing Chu Huaiyu sway as though she was about to collapse, Qing Ming was frantic with worry.

"There’s no need... for you to interfere."

Chu Huaiyu seemed to resent him for supporting her just then, which had led to Chu Qianli’s humiliating accusations.

She bit her lip, tears brimming in her eyes.

Even though she was weak to the point of fainting at any moment, she still stood up straight with determination.

In his urgency, Qing Ming lost sight of the Prince’s prohibitions and called out, "Xiaoya, come quickly and help your mistress!"

Xiaoya, who was standing guard outside, rushed in without even remembering to bow, hurriedly supporting her young mistress.

"Miss, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell again? The doctor said you have a deficiency of blood and qi and cannot endure any distress! Who has upset you like this?"

Chu Qianli almost wanted to roll her eyes.

This pair of master and servant really were in perfect sync, their act was as if it had been rehearsed.

Of course, their acting skills were still poor.

If it had been her, she definitely wouldn’t have acted like this.

She would have chosen a different approach.

Such acting could only fool the blind.

Yet unexpectedly, someone at that moment casually said, "If you’re not feeling well, then return to your room to rest. Someone, escort Miss Huaiyu back!"

"But..." A flash of delight swept through Chu Huaiyu’s eyes.

When she lifted her gaze to meet Feng Yexuan’s, she still appeared uneasy.

"But Your Highness... shouldn’t I return to the Duke Residence now? Staying in the Prince Residence like this is neither proper by name nor by reason. I’m afraid... I’m afraid some people will have grounds for sarcasm again."

As she spoke, her fearful gaze nervously swept over Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli’s smile grew deeper, "Rest assured, whether you shamelessly cling to someone else’s Prince Residence and refuse to leave has nothing to do with me."

"Chu Qianli, don’t go too far!" Qing Ming shouted in anger.

Chu Qianli’s gaze settled on him, her expression suddenly stern, displeased, "I heard that I’m currently bearing the title of Yexuan’s concubine; it turns out that the Prince’s woman can be insulted by a mere guard at will!"

Feng Yexuan’s eyes darkened.

Qing Ming turned white, immediately turning to Feng Yexuan, "Your Highness, I... I simply couldn’t stand to see Miss Huaiyu being bullied. I acted impulsively, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

"How come Miss Huaiyu is being bullied, and the Prince has yet to say anything, but you, an irrelevant person, are so agitated?"

Chu Qianli looked at him sideway, that smile at the corner of her lips always infuriatingly itchy to others.

She mocked, "One might think you and Miss Huaiyu have some unspeakable secret."

"You!" Qing Ming truly couldn’t bear it!

She could insult him, but she absolutely could not humiliate Miss Huaiyu!

"Although I’m just a guard, Miss Li, if you continue to insult and slander Miss Huaiyu, even if I have to give up my life, I will fight you to the end!"

Feng Yexuan narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the woman with a smile at the corner of her lips.

Chu Qianli, of course, could see that Qing Ming really was on the verge of madness.

She hadn’t expected that he would go to such lengths for Chu Huaiyu, truly careless of everything.

He was insane!

However, Chu Huaiyu’s ability to deceive seemed quite remarkable in the eyes of some men.

Men like to pity the weak because it makes them feel strong and mighty.

And Chu Huaiyu, she gave men the impression of being immensely powerful.

Expert!

She put away her smile, not wanting to provoke the lion for the time being.

Just as she was about to say something, she didn’t expect that Chu Huaiyu, to her surprise, suddenly knelt down with a thud towards Feng Yexuan.

"Huaiyu is utterly loyal to the Prince, with no second thoughts. If the Prince does not believe me, then please order my execution."

Chu Qianli frowned, looking at Feng Yexuan.

Feng Yexuan’s face, although still calm, clearly showed impatience.

"Rumors, I never believe in them. Go back and rest."

Only then did Chu Huaiyu feel reassured and stood up with the help of Xiaoya.

"Thank you, Prince. Huaiyu shall take my leave."

Turning around, when she passed by Chu Qianli, she cast a weak, wind-assisted glance at her.

"Sister Five, I implore you to stop spreading rumors everywhere in the future. Huaiyu won’t mind."

"Huaiyu only cares whether the Prince believes or not, as long as the Prince does, even if you smear my reputation everywhere, Huaiyu will not..."

"Enough already, in my eyes, you’re not even worth dog shit, so why would I waste time smearing your reputation."

Chu Qianli snorted, her face full of disdain, "Don’t flatter yourself!"

Chu Huaiyu, wiping her tears, left.

Although the man behind her couldn’t see her tears, her sad departure was clear for all to see.

Qing Ming detested Chu Qianli even more, even hating her.

He had never seen such a nasty and malicious woman before!

"Escort Miss Chu back." Feng Yexuan suddenly said.

Qing Ming was startled, and hurriedly explained, "Prince, there’s nothing between Miss Huaiyu and me, please don’t believe..."

"Leave." Feng Yexuan said indifferently.

He remained expressionless, looking indifferently at Chu Qianli standing in the room.

What was hidden in his unrippled eyes, no one knew.

Qing Ming didn’t know what he was thinking either.

But at least, having followed the Prince for so many years, he was quite sure that the Prince wasn’t angry now.

Either he didn’t care about him and Miss Huaiyu’s matter, or he simply didn’t believe the slander.

Qing Ming’s heart was in turmoil, and as he left, he didn’t forget to warn her with a look.

If there was a next time, he would not let the enchantress off.

Chu Qianli resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

After Qing Ming left, she then looked at Feng Yexuan, "I would like to return to the Duke Residence for a while. Prince, please speak frankly about the price you demand."

When she left Qianyun Pavilion this morning, everything went smoothly.

Hoping against hope, she wanted to try the main gate.

But unexpectedly, she was still stopped by the guards and sent back.

Feng Yexuan looked at her, and suddenly, he scoffed, "You’ve learned to negotiate terms with me now?"

Chu Qianli didn’t speak, only meeting his gaze.

For her grandfather’s sake, she had to endure this humiliation!

Once her grandfather was better and she had handed the affairs of the Duke Residence back to him, she would leave the Imperial City, even leave Beiming Country.

After that, this man’s affairs would have nothing to do with her!

Feng Yexuan was also staring at her face.

The young, vibrant face that was with them last night, how could it become so cold and distant in his presence?

"I don’t agree!"

He suddenly stood up and walked towards the door, "I won’t agree to any terms! You won’t leave the Prince Residence, not even a single step!"
