However, before the hour had even passed, Qian Rong rushed over again and stood outside the secret room to report.
“Master, something bad has happened again… Xiao Zhang had just gone over and accidentally smashed the jade pendant that Your Highness had worn since childhood. He is now kneeling outside the door to receive his punishment,” Qian Rong said weakly.
In the secret room, Su Qian, who had just taken out the elixir furnace, twitched her mouth, “Change again. Send Xiao Shi over and warn her not to break anything else.”
“Yes…” Qian Rong silently left the room.
However, before a quarter of an hour had passed, Qian Rong returned.
“Master…”
Qian Rong’s weak voice rang out from outside the door. The medicinal herbs that Su Qian had originally placed in the medicine cauldron were burned into charcoal with a puff because of her distracted mind. Fuming with anger, she gritted her teeth, “Did Xiao Shi break something again?”
“Not this time.” Qian Rong did not wait for Su Qian to heave a sigh of relief before she continued weakly, “However, when Xiao Shi was pouring tea, she accidentally scalded herself. The skin on the back of her hand has blisters, so she’ll probably have to rest for more than ten days.”
When Su Qian heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to gasp. “Send someone else again! Qian Rong, this time, you personally go. 1 know what you are capable of. I don’t believe that Ninth Prince is so hard to please!”
Qian Rong was terrified that she went back trembling. This time, she came back in less than fifteen minutes. She stood outside the door and said weakly, “Master… Your Highness said that he has mysophobia and doesn’t like women serving him. He asked me not to disturb him and told me to come back.”
Boom!
Su Qian’s patience was completely gone. She kicked open the door of the secret room and stormed in front of Qian Rong angrily. “What else is wrong with him? Say it all!”
“Your Highness said that Master said to be responsible for him, so, so he requested Master to personally take care of him.” Qian Rong couldn’t hide under Su Qian’s sharp gaze and said carefully.
Su Qian clenched her fist and took a deep breath. She suppressed her anger and said, “The people from the Imperial Residence are not here? Where did his hidden guard go?”
“Young Master Dong Yan sent a message just half an hour ago. He said that the Imperial Residence is busy taking inventory of the items in the treasure vault and had no time to spare. If you regret serving Your Highness, you can send Your Highness directly to the palace and ask the Empress Dowager for help.” After Qian Rong said this, her head was already lowered to her chest, and she didn’t dare to look into Su Qian’s eyes.
Su Qian took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and strode towards Xiao Yan’s room.
As she walked halfway there, Su Qian saw two little buns standing in the corridor in the distance. They had two food boxes in their hands. Looking in that direction, they were walking toward Xiao Yan’s room.
“Ye’er, Qingqing, are you going to see your Ninth Uncle?” Su Qian asked from afar.
The two children turned their heads and met Su Qian’s eyes. Immediately, the children were like wild ponies that had lost their reins as they happily rushed in Su Qian’s direction. “That’s right, Mother. It’s almost mealtime. We made something delicious and planned to send it to Ninth Uncle.”
Su Ye looked up at Su Qian and said with a gentle smile, “Mother, I made you a portion too and left it on the stove. Do you want to eat later or come with us to eat with Ninth Uncle?”
“My stomach is not hungry yet. I will eat later when I’m hungry.” Su Qian saw the children’s innocent faces and suddenly smiled evilly.. She crouched down and looked at them as she said, “Ye’er, Qingqing, can you do me a favor?”
