son, don't mess around

Chapter 33 He Didn't Succeed

At this moment, a servant girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Miss, someone is looking for you!"

Xu Lan was startled at this moment, and looked up at the door: "Who?"

"Linwangfu, Zhiyuan girl."

kite?

Xu Lan was taken aback, she came to find herself?
Is there a problem?
Soon, Xu Lan realized something... A look of panic appeared on his face for a short while.

But then, he calmed down quickly.

She took a deep breath: "Okay, I see!"

She slowly lifted off the quilt, got up from the bed, straightened her clothes, looked at her slightly flushed face in the bronze mirror, with watery eyes, bit her lower lip lightly, and shook her head quickly.

She was slightly relieved when she completely subsided and calmed down, and she couldn't see anything abnormal.

Turn around and open the door.

Outside the door, the maid has been waiting for a long time.

"Let's go."

Xu Lan spoke lightly, stepped out of the room, and came to the lobby of Xu Mansion.

In the pavilion, a kite in a purple shirt stood there, waiting for a long time.

"Sister Zhiyuan?"

A smile appeared on Xu Lan's face, and she walked forward slowly: "Why are you free to come and look for me today?"

Lin and Xu are family friends, and they are both in Linjiang City, so Xu Lan and Zhi Yuan are naturally acquainted.

Although Zhi Yuan is nominally the maid of the Prince Lin's Mansion, anyone who knows and knows her will never simply treat her as a maid.

Xu Lan, as the eldest lady of the Xu family, who runs to Linwang's mansion from time to time, is naturally familiar with Zhi Yuan, and the relationship between the two is pretty good...

At least on the surface.

Zhi Yuan looked at Xu Lan in front of her, sized her up, and nodded slightly: "Miss Xu, excuse me."

"No, it's still early, anyway, I have nothing to do, I just happened to talk to Sister Zhiyuan..."

Xu Lan waved her hand, dispersed the servants in the lobby, and took the kite to the side to sit down.

Only then did he bring up the matter: "By the way, sister Zhiyuan came to see me...what's the matter?"

Zhiyuan nodded slightly, her gaze fell on Xu Lan's face, she paused for a moment, and then said, "I'm here today for the afternoon..."

When she spoke slowly, she could clearly notice the strange color on Xu Lan's face.

After a moment of silence, Zhi Yuan finally spoke: "Today, did His Highness bully Miss Xu?"

"No……"

Xu Lan subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when she saw Zhi Yuan's calm and turbulent eyes, her heart jumped again.

She knew the frightening thing about the maid next to Lin Wang's son, she was thoughtful and intelligent, she was someone that Uncle Lin liked very much.

How could what happened this afternoon be hidden from her eyes and ears?If she lied and denied it, it might arouse her suspicion even more.

Thinking of this, Xu Lan hid the strange look in her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, he bullied me!"

A flash of astonishment flashed in Zhiyuan's eyes, and then she regained her composure.

Afterwards, she looked at Xu Lan in front of her, and calmly said: "Miss Xu, what His Highness did today was due to my negligence, which made Miss Xu innocent. For this matter, I apologize to you on behalf of Your Highness..."

"But Ms. Xu, don't worry, I will be responsible for this matter when I come to the palace. I will give Ms. Xu an explanation, and I will definitely not let Ms. Xu lose her manners..."

Xu Lan looked blank...

What innocent?
What's out of manners?
and many more……

Why does it sound wrong?
At this time, Zhi Yuan continued to speak: "When the prince returns to the mansion, I will inform the prince of this matter, and then the prince will come forward to ask your father for a betrothal gift..."

Xu Lan was dumbfounded.

After a while, this reaction realized what!
... Did Zhiyuan misunderstand something?

Thinking of this, her face blushed instantly, and she quickly waved her hands: "No, it's not...you misunderstood..."

"He, he didn't bully like that, he bullied me..."

Zhi Yuan looked at the flushed and nervous Xu Lan with some doubts.

What kind of...bullying?
"That's right..."

Xu Lan took a deep breath, calmed down, and gritted her teeth on her flushed face: "He, he..."

Xu Lan was about to explain that he had a fight with Lin Jiangnian in the room in the afternoon.But when the words came to his lips, did he feel that something was wrong?
in the room?Two people?Lonely?Got into a fight?
Leaving aside whether Zhi Yuan would believe it or not, what's more important is...Xu Lan is a ninth-rank master, and it is well known that Lin Wang Shizi is a useless trash.

In terms of martial arts, Prince Lin's son is absolutely impossible to be her opponent?
fight?
This excuse is a bit... absurd?
Although this was indeed what happened in the afternoon, Xu Lan was worried that Zhi Yuan would see something.

After all... for no reason, how could they fight?
"I, we have a little conflict, a little conflict..."

Small conflict?Skirmish?
Zhi Yuan looked at Xu Lan's slightly flushed face, feeling suspicious.

Just skirmishes and skirmishes?

Why was she disheveled in the afternoon, with a blushing complexion, and fled the palace staggeringly?
Clearly concealed something.

Or……

Zhi Yuan seemed to think of something, her eyes were slightly cold, and after a while, she said in a deep voice: "Miss Xu, you don't have to worry. The prince will make the decision for you."

"The Xu and Lin families have been friends for generations. You don't have to worry about being threatened by His Highness. The prince has always kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and will never shield His Highness..."

Xu Lan was at a loss.

shelter?

and many more……

Xu Lan looked at Zhiyuan with eyes, could it be that she... thought she was threatened by that guy?

"Really, really no..."

Xu Lan blushed and defended in a low voice.

When he met Zhi Yuan's worried and dignified eyes, Xu Lan's heart skipped a beat when he clearly confirmed what he was thinking.

Finished!

Can't explain.

All kinds of clues and signs seem to indicate something...

Thinking of this, Xu Lan's face became hot.If this misunderstanding becomes big, then I'm afraid things will become big.

Xu Lan took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. She had a decision in her mind, and then said weakly, "He, he didn't succeed..."

"..."

Didn't work?
Doesn't that mean...

Zhi Yuan suddenly said: "So, Your Highness really treats you..."

"Um……"

Xu Lan lowered her head, blushed, and bit her lower lip tightly.

For the current plan, she can only do this...

Naturally, Zhiyuan couldn't imagine that Xu Lan would use her innocence to hide something.

Therefore, she had no doubts about Xu Lan's words.

There are various indications that something must have happened to Xu Lan in His Highness's room this afternoon.If His Highness intends to do something wrong, but fails... everything seems to make sense.

Thinking of this, Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed: "Miss Xu, don't worry, I will also tell the prince about this matter, and give you an explanation!"

Although His Highness did not succeed, the matter is equally serious.If it cannot be handled properly, it may affect the relationship between the two families.

"No, no need..."

Xu Lan hurriedly stopped her. Seeing Zhiyuan looking at her suspiciously, Xu Lan took a deep breath, and a look of hatred appeared in her eyes.

"This revenge, I want to avenge myself."

Under Zhiyuan's calm and turbulent gaze, Xu Lan gritted her teeth and said angrily: "This is a matter between this girl and him, and has nothing to do with your palace. This account, this girl will never end with him..."

"..."

Xu Lan was relieved when he noticed that the suspicious look in Zhi Yuan's eyes gradually dissipated.

At last...it was muddled through.

Zhi Yuan was silent for a moment, Miss Xu's character was indeed like this all along.And she wanted to talk endlessly with His Highness, but it wasn't once or twice...

But in the end, it was just to say some harsh words, to take revenge on His Highness secretly, without any substantive actions.

But this time...

Zhiyuan glanced at Xu Lan, as if realizing something.

"In any case, I have to apologize to Miss Xu on behalf of His Highness for this matter."

Zhi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "If it affects Miss Xu in any way, my palace will definitely be responsible to the end."

"fine……"

Xu Lan waved her hand absently: "This is my grievance with him, it has nothing to do with the palace, sister Zhi Yuan don't have to take it to heart."

"If that's the case, then I won't bother."

Zhiyuan nodded, got up slowly, and when she was about to leave, she seemed to think of something: "Miss Xu?"

"Ok?"

Xu Lan's heart tightened: "Also, what's the matter?"

Zhiyuan hesitated, "There is one more thing I want to ask Miss Xu."

"What's the matter? Sister Zhiyuan, just tell me?"

Zhiyuan's beautiful and calm eyes fell on Xu Lan, and then she slowly said, "Miss Xu..."

"Have you noticed anything unusual recently, Your Highness?"

"..."
