Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 257 Don’t care

Zhao Yunrong did not respond, but stared at the expression on Xiao Guoer's face with his sharp eyes, as if he did not want to miss any slight change in her facial expression.

Xiao Guoer didn't know what the Eighth Prince had done. He came to the teahouse in the middle of the night and stared at her without saying a word. She hadn't done anything wrong, had she? He probably wasn't here to settle accounts with her because she broke his teacup yesterday? Although the tea set was quite expensive, would the Eighth Prince forgive her if she sincerely admitted her mistake?

"Your Highness, I broke the teacup yesterday. It was an unintentional mistake. Please forgive me."

Zhao Yunrong's dark eyes, which could not tell whether he was happy or angry, paused for a moment on Xiao Guo'er's face before he spoke, "Since it was your fault, you should bear the responsibility. The cost of the teacups will be deducted from your monthly salary. When enough is deducted, I will give you the monthly salary."

It doesn't matter, she's leaving anyway, and she doesn't want the monthly salary! Humph, what a stingy man!

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Guo'er's submissive look did not make Zhao Yunrong relax his frown, but instead made him even more irritable.

Zhao Yunrong gave Xiao Guoer one last fierce look, and seeing that her expression remained unchanged, he shook his sleeves, turned around and left the tea room.

Xiao Guo'er was confused and said helplessly to Zhao Yunrong's back, "A man with a moody personality should be careful of irregular menstruation!"

Even though Shen Jing was a martial artist whose mind was not very delicate, he could still feel that his master was not in a good mood. He just didn't understand. The prince was in a good mood just before he went to the tea room. Why did his mood take a turn for the worse after he just silently watched Xiao Guoer making tea?

Aren't things going according to the prince's wishes? He is just around the corner to get the beauty, and even the affairs of the court are under control. Why is the prince still angry and worried?

It is said that women's minds are complicated and changeable, but he sees that his prince's mind is even more changeable!

Shen Jing looked at the back garden in front of him, which was shrouded in moonlight and where all the flowers had withered in autumn, and sighed deeply in his heart. It had been half an hour. What on earth was the prince looking at?

"Your Highness, the weather is getting colder, and the dew is heavier. You still have to attend the court early tomorrow, so you'd better go back and settle down early."

It was still quiet. Just when Shen Jing was wondering if his master was possessed by evil spirits, Zhao Yunrong finally spoke.

"Shen Jing..."

"Yes, my subordinate is here."

"Tell me, when a person is sad, will he still have the energy to make tea step by step, slowly and meticulously?"

Shen Jing looked up suddenly and opened his mouth in astonishment, "You mean..."

"Without experiencing any great joy or great sorrow in a short period of time, a person's temperament cannot change. However, now, she doesn't even care about the money that she has always cared about. What does this mean... This can only mean that she has something more important to her... or... something more worthy of her care, and she is willing to give up everything else for that thing."

Shen Jing understood from his master's tongue-twister words full of resentment and dissatisfaction that the thing must be Tang Jingchen, but...

"The Queen Mother's words are golden, and the imperial decree has been issued. Even if the Tang family has helped the court in the past, there is absolutely no possibility of changing it. Could it be that... Tang Jingchen wants to enjoy the happiness of having two wives?"
