Chapter 223 The Princess Causes Trouble
General's Mansion —
"Your Highness, you absolutely mustn't lay a hand on Miss Shuiyi when you meet her later!"
Yuan Huaixue nodded impatiently, "I know, I know. Thank you for leading the way, Prime Minister. I'll go in first."
Lou Shenghan wanted to go in and see what was going on, but a servant came and said that Lou Xiaobao was crying and looking for his father in the mansion. Helpless, he ordered his men to stand guard at the entrance of the General's Mansion to observe the movements of the people in the General's Mansion, while he went back first.
Yuan Huaixue ran into Cailian as soon as she entered the room, which terrified the little maid.
"This servant...this servant greets Your Highness. Your Highness, my master...my master is in the palace and hasn't returned to the manor yet!" Cailian said tremblingly, feeling very strange. Why would Your Highness suddenly appear at the manor?
Upon seeing that it was Xin Moyan's maid, she instantly became arrogant. "This princess is not here to see Brother Ling. Tell me, where is the woman Brother Ling brought to the manor?"
"Ah? Your Highness, you...you mean Miss Shuiyi?"
"Regardless of what kind of memory it is, take me to see her."
Judging from these words, it seems Her Highness has come with ill intentions...
"Hey! What are you thinking? Lead the way now, or I'll chop off your head!"
At this moment, Shuiyi and Hua Buyu were admiring the flowers in the back garden, and Hua Buyu was very enthusiastic in introducing the environment of the General's Mansion to her.
"Shuiyi, look, these are the flowers Xin Moling planted for Yan Yan. Aren't they beautiful?"
Shuiyi leaned forward and gently sniffed the unknown pink flower. "Hmm, I didn't expect that A-Ling would love Yan'er so much."
"There's more! Look..."
Hua Buyu pointed to the swing set not far away and excitedly introduced, "I heard that this swing set has been there since Yan Yan was born!"
"Oh? Yan'er likes swinging?"
"Mmm! Yan Yan and I chat here when we have nothing to do, and we also swing on the swings."
Shui Yi listened and nodded thoughtfully. "Buyu, do you usually stay at the General's Mansion?"
She paused for a moment, then quickly explained, "Although I often stay here, don't worry, Xin Moling and I are absolutely innocent. I only play with Yan Yan. Xin Moling is always fierce, and only you would be interested in him."
“Hehe~” Shui Yi covered her mouth and chuckled at her reaction. “I didn’t mean that, and there was no misunderstanding. I just wanted to learn more about Yan’er.”
"Oh! If you want to know Yan Yan, you can ask me. Yan Yan and I are best friends! Shui Yi, you seem to care a lot about your future sister-in-law!"
"Yes, I really like Yan'er. She's like a little sister to me."
"Great minds think alike, I also like Yan Yan."
"Silent, you're quite interesting too!"
Hua Buyu scratched her head shyly, "Hehe~ Shuiyi, I like you too."
The two were chatting animatedly when they suddenly heard Cailian's anxious voice.
"Princess...Your Highness, what is it? We can talk about it when the young master and young lady return!"
"Go away!"
Yuan Huaixue shoved Cailian hard, then lifted her leg and walked aggressively in front of the two of them.
"Princess Gain? What are you doing here?"
"Hua Buyu is none of your business. You'd better get out of my way." With a blush rising on her still-childish face, Yuan Huaixue pointed fiercely at Hua Buyu.
"No! Princess, what do you want?" Hua Buyu stood in front of Shui Yi, afraid that the little princess would bully Shui Yi if she didn't like her.
"Silence, she... is she a princess?"
Yuan Huaixue then got a good look at Shui Yi's face. A look of amazement flashed in her eyes, and she coldly rebuked, "How dare you! You don't even pay your respects to this princess!"
"Princess, why do you enjoy it so much when people kneel and bow to you? Shuiyi is the future general's wife, and also your future cousin-in-law. Don't go too far!"
Upon hearing the term "cousin-in-law," Yuan Huaixue was so angry she nearly vomited blood. Her face flushed red, and she pointed at Shui Yi, shouting, "What cousin-in-law? What kind of cousin-in-law is she? I don't know where this vixen came from, daring to seduce Brother Ling! You step forward for me, the princess!"
Shui Yi was not afraid of her status as a princess. She took a step to the side and met Yuan Huaixue's eyes directly.
"Greetings, Your Highness. Shuiyi greets you."
"What etiquette? I, the princess, ask you, where did you come from? Who else is in your family? How can you be so shameless as to live in a man's house? Aren't you afraid of being scorned by the world?"
"I……"
Upon hearing this, Shui Yi's face turned pale and then flushed, and she bit her lower lip, looking rather embarrassed.
"No, where Shui Yi came from and where she lives right now is none of your business."
Hua Buyu stood with her hands on her hips, looking ready to fight.
"Hua Buyu, I'm asking her a question, why are you interrupting? Get out of the way, or else..."
"What else? Are you going to hit me? Yuan Huaixue, look carefully, this is the General's Mansion, not your palace. I advise you to go back and eat and sleep as soon as possible!"
"Flowers do not speak!"
Yuan Huaixue stomped her foot in anger, "You're just a commoner, how dare you speak so arrogantly to this princess!"
"So what if I spout nonsense? Even if I'm arrogant, let your brother deal with me. You mean your brother who wants to make Yan Yan empress? I'm actually looking forward to talking to Emperor Yuan about it!"
Hua Buyu spoke in a very nonchalant manner, but his eyes were very serious. He thought to himself, this little princess is here to cause trouble. If she goes too far, Yuan Huaixue's brothers will definitely not let it go, and it will also implicate Xin Moling. If she is not taught a lesson, what if this princess bullies Shui Yi?
She was lost in thought when Shuiyi tugged at her sleeve, signaling Hua Buyu not to go too far.
Shuiyi stepped forward with a very understanding smile on her face. "Your Highness, if I have offended you in any way, please forgive me. I am new to this place and am unfamiliar with many of the rules. Please forgive me."
"Shuiyi, is it? Hmph! Of course you've offended me. However, since you're somewhat sensible, as long as you agree to move out of the General's Mansion and never see Brother Ling again, I'll let you off the hook."
"What a big mouth you have! You think you can just say you won't meet and then not meet? Shui Yi and Xin Moling are such a perfect match, what's it to you?"
"Hua Buyu, shut your mouth! Don't think that just because your brother exempted you from the kneeling ceremony, you can be disrespectful!"
"So what if I'm being disrespectful? Look..."
Hua Buyu pointed to Hongluan not far away, "You've seen Hongluan before, right? She could beat you to a pulp with one hand. You'd better not throw your princess tantrum here."
"You...you dare?"
"Yi'er".
