Chapter 164 Don’t want to live?!
In order to continue cooperating with Yu Guiwan, Shi Lingyue has been going to the workshop more frequently these days. Although Xie Rou is no longer there to interfere, Shi Lingyue still dares not let his guard down.
Just as Arou said, those people in the royal family would definitely not let it go so easily, so she and her people became even busier. In addition, makeup powder had to be made in a hurry, and rouge was also put on the agenda.
Shi Lingyue and Yu Guiwan had agreed to apply both powder and rouge together, so she went to the workshop every day these days.
Ever since the last incident, Shi Lingyue never went to the Princess's Mansion again. Xie Rou knew that she was unhappy so she didn't ask her to come there on purpose.
"what?"
The woman in black told Xie Rou everything Shi Lingyue had done in the past few days.
Although Xie Rou did not deliberately inquire about Shi Lingyue's news, her actions in the past few days clearly showed that she was going to continue to help Yu Guiwan. She narrowed her eyes and looked unhappy.
"Go to Mingyuzhai."
Xie Rou didn't understand why A Yue had to help someone she had only known for a few days instead of standing on her side.
When Xie Rou arrived at Mingyuzhai, the maid immediately took her to the attic. "Your Highness, our boss is not here. She should be back soon according to the schedule." The maid roughly calculated the time.
"okay."
Xie Rou knew that she must be in the workshop now, so she didn't ask any more questions and sat down in the house.
The maid quickly brought tea and left the room.
……
It was not until dark that Shi Lingyue returned to Mingyuzhai. As soon as she entered Mingyuzhai, a maid came to her and reported, "Master, the eldest princess is waiting for you upstairs. She has been waiting for you for two hours."
"What? Why didn't anyone come to tell me?" Shi Lingyue frowned, her tone sounding a little blaming.
Shi Lingyue quickened her pace and went up to the attic. Before she opened the door, she saw Xie Rou through the crack, already asleep with her head propped up by one hand. She walked in slowly, lightly.
Shi Lingyue looked at the blanket that had slipped off her body, shook her head, and covered her with the blanket again.
As soon as she covered herself with the blanket, Xie Rou opened her eyes and saw the person beside her, "You're back."
"Why didn't you send someone to tell me that you have been waiting for me here for so long." Shi Lingyue added some charcoal to the stove and added water to the pot above.
Xie Rou shook her head. "It's okay. I heard from them that you've been very busy lately, so I thought I wouldn't bother you. I'm free anyway."
After hearing this, Shi Lingyue pretended to know nothing and changed the subject, "You must be hungry after waiting for me for so long, right? Let's go to Mingyue Tower to eat later. It's my treat."
She spoke with a smile, her eyes fixed on the window.
"Ayue, why do you still want to cooperate with her? This will not benefit Mingyuzhai." Xie Rou did not continue to agree with her words. Instead, she tried to persuade her earnestly with a nagging look on her face.
"The royal family will spare her life because she is the Princess of Chen, but what about you?"
Shi Lingyue also knew that Xie Rou was doing this for her own good, but her heart would not allow her to watch someone who had the same experience as her go on like this. She couldn't do it.
"Arou, you know I can't stand it."
"If you can't stand it, then don't look at it." Xie Rou said with a stern face. She didn't expect that Shi Lingyue had reached the point where she had to help. What kind of magic potion did Yu Guiwan feed her?
Shi Lingyue looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, as if the person sitting in front of her was someone she had never met before. She couldn't believe that Xie Rou would say such a thing, and she didn't want to believe it.
"Arou, you helped me before, why can't you help others now?"
"I helped her, so what should you do? You are the most important person in my heart. You know I am just a princess without real power. Yu Guiwan will naturally be protected by others. You should stop interfering."
"You'll die if you keep going like this."
Xie Rou's eyes were red, and she just hoped that Shi Lingyue would turn back.
Shi Lingyue spoke with determination. She would not change her decision. "I will continue the cooperation, as long as you don't stop me. If I really die one day, I hope you can collect my body for me."
"You're crazy! You don't even want to live anymore!"
Xie Rou stood up suddenly and shouted angrily. She couldn't believe what she heard. She actually didn't even want to die for this matter.
She was stunned for a moment by the yelling, but quickly regained her composure. "It seems that we can't reach an end to the discussion today. Please go back, Princess." She knew that if she continued talking, the argument between the two would only get more intense.
"You're driving me away?"
Xie Rou asked back, but got no answer from Shi Lingyue.
Xie Rou's eyes were filled with disappointment as she left Mingyuzhai alone. After a while, Shi Lingyue looked downstairs and only sat down when she saw Xie Rou getting on the carriage.
"Master, are you going to the Princess's Mansion?"
The maid walked in and saw Shi Lingyue sitting alone by the window with dull eyes.
"I've never seen you and the eldest princess quarrel so fiercely." The maid who spoke was the one who had been with Shi Lingyue since she first started her business, so she also knew the relationship between Shi Lingyue and Xie Rou.
The two of them were good friends and had never quarreled like this before, not to mention that the eldest princess was usually gentle, so this was the first time she heard the eldest princess speak so uncalmly.
If it was really as the eldest princess said, she would also stand on the eldest princess's side. After all, Princess Chen had only known her for a few days, so there was no need for her to do this.
"No, I'll wait a few days until she's calmed down before I go over there. Do you also think I've gone too far and am even willing to sacrifice my life?"
When the maid heard this, she lowered her head and said nothing.
She looked at the maid, her eyes full of determination: "For so many years, it has been difficult for women to trade. If Princess Chen succeeds this time, perhaps it will be easier for women to trade in the future. They won't have to go through the same old path I did, and it won't be so hard."
After saying that, Shi Lingyue lowered her eyes and said, "You go down, I'll be alone for a while." She sent the man out.
……
Xie Rou got into the carriage, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with indifference.
"Your Highness, what about Boss Shi?" the maid beside Xie Rou asked in a low voice.
She closed her eyes and sighed.
Now it seems that Shi Lingyue is unlikely to give up. In fact, she also thought that Shi Lingyue would not watch Yu Guiwan go on like this, but she did not expect that she would go to this extent for Shi Lingyue.
"Where's Chu Yun? Ask him to wait in my room. I have something to tell him." Xie Rou tapped the wooden table with her fingertips, having already made up her mind.
"Yes, I'll send someone back to tell him right away." The maid lowered her head.
