Just because you hugged me and kissed me, you think youâre responsible for me?
Pah! Wishful thinking!
âBy the way, young lady, what is your name, how old are you, where are you from, and who else is in your family? Tell me quickly, and I will send someone to propose marriage right away!â Lin Beifan loudly promised.
âWhat?â The personal maidâs eyes widened once again.
You know nothing about me, and yet you want to take responsibility for me?
Even sending someone to propose marriage?
Isnât this moving too fast?
At this moment, âHan Chuchuâ finally reacted, pulling her personal maid behind her, and said warily, âThis is my maid, Zhao Qianjin! Although she is a maid, we are as close as sisters!â
âZhao Qianjin, a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold, invaluable, what a good name!â Lin Beifan praised.
âMiss Chuchu, since you are her mistress, then you should have the final say in her marriage matters. Could it be possibleâŠâ
âHan Chuchuâ shouted,
âI do not agree with your marriage, so you should just give up on that idea!â
âMhm, mhmâŠâ The maid hiding behind her nodded repeatedly.
Lin Beifan, however, had a different opinion: âMiss Chuchu, although you are her mistress, matters of the heart should not be taken lightly! Since she has found her own happiness, you should graciously let go!â
âBy marrying you, she would find her happiness?â
Lin Beifan opened his arms wide and declared loudly, âI am the sovereign of this land. If she marries me, at the very least, she will become a concubine and live a life of luxury, no longer serving others. Isnât that good?â
âThisâŠâ The two women exchanged glances.
If she truly were a servant, marrying Lin Beifan would indeed be a good thing.
But the key issue was she wasnât!
âQianjin, although your status is humble, and although our acquaintance stems from an unavoidable accident, I am a man of passion and loyalty. Having done what I did, I will certainly take full responsibility for you!â
Lin Beifan beckoned with a pampering tone, âCome to my side quickly, I will surely spoil you like a princess!â
âHmm!â The personal maidâs eyes widened in disbelief.
I havenât despised you for being a fickle-hearted playboy, yet you already disdain me for my lowly status?
âNo way! I will never agree to this marriage!â âHan Chuchuâ bellowed.
Lin Beifan, however, was very calm: âDonât be too agitated! I understand that this has all happened too suddenly, and indeed, she needs some time to mentally prepare. How about this, I will go back first, and you can take your time to think it over!â
Having said that, he patted his buttocks and walked away.
This time, neither of the women stopped him.
After Lin Beifan had completely left, âHan Chuchuâ panicked, âMiss, youâŠâ
âThat foolish emperor actually dared to take advantage of me! So outrageous, utterly audacious, completely despicable!â The personal maid was both embarrassed and angry.
She had intended to play a trick on him, but she hadnât expected to end up sacrificing herself!
She was a pure and unmarried maiden!
From childhood to adulthood, she had never been touched by another man, and now she had been hugged, held, and kissed by a strange manâŠ
When had she ever suffered such a great loss?
It was a loss all the way to her grandmotherâs house!
Just thinking about it made her extremely angry!
âMiss, what do we do now..?â Han Chuchu asked.
âIf I donât avenge this insult, I swear Iâm not human!â
The personal maid clenched her little fist and said with hatred, âThat foolish emperor is such a bastard, unforgivable! I must go and flatten him to avenge this deep grudge!â
âMiss, I support you!â Han Chuchu nodded.
And so, the two women set out for vengeance.
At this moment, Lin Beifan had arrived at a palace to visit the Ninth Prince, Li Tianqiong.
âHow are you feeling now? Is your health any better?â Lin Beifan asked with concern.
The Ninth Prince spoke weakly, âIâve rested for a day, and my injuries have healed a lot, so donât worry! I heard you went to visit Han Chuchu today. How did it go? Did she agree to call off the engagement?â
Lin Beifan sighed, âDonât even mention it! I originally intended to persuade her to break off the engagement, but who would have thought? She actually took a fancy to me and wanted to make an âaccidentâ with me. Otherwise, she wouldnât agree to call off the engagement!â
The Ninth Princeâs eyes lit up, âDid you agree?â
âHow could I possibly agree?â
Lin Beifan became agitated, âThereâs an old saying: âDo not covet your friendâs wife.â Even if I am not a good person, I canât do such a heinous thing!â
Ninth Prince: âActually, that old saying is wrong. It should be⊠âDonât be so reserved with your friendâs wife!â â
âYou wish. I would never do such a thing!â
Ninth Prince: ââŠâ
âShe even tried to force me, screaming harassment to tarnish my innocence. Fortunately, I had a stroke of genius in that critical moment!â
Lin Beifan said proudly, âAt the last crucial moment, I embraced her personal maid! By doing so, even if she screamed her lungs out, she couldnât defame me! HahaâŠâ
âThat personal maid?â The Ninth Prince furrowed his brow, recalling a girl who was both quirky and charmingly delicate.
In terms of beauty, she was in no way inferior to his senior sister, and she had a presence that was heart-stirring.
If the fiancée were that person, even if she were violent, he could bear with it and get over it!
Unfortunately, fate is so cruel!
At this moment, Lin Beifan patted Ninth Prince on the shoulder and said, âBrother, you continue to recuperate here. I have some matters to attend to and must leave now!â
Ninth Prince called out, âDonât go! Can you please try to persuade her once more?â
Lin Beifan sighed, âItâs no use! If I try to persuade her any further, I might end up sacrificing my own happiness! So, you should handle this matter yourself. Iâm leaving now, goodbye!â
Ninth Prince continued to call out, âDonât leave! Donât goâŠâ
Unfortunately, Lin Beifan had already disappeared from sight.
Watching Lin Beifanâs departing figure, the Ninth Prince felt somewhat puzzled: âWhy didnât he take the main gate and instead left through the side door?â
Just at that moment, the two women came charging in.
With faces full of murderous intent, they questioned the Ninth Prince: âWhere is that foolish emperor? We heard he came here, so why is there no sign of him?â
The Ninth Prince trembled with fear: âHe⊠he just left!â
âWhat? Heâs gone?â Both women were furious.
âHan Chuchuâ turned to her personal maid: âWhat do we do now?â
The personal maid huffed angrily, âThe monk may run, but the temple canât hide. Weâll deal with him later! But since the Ninth Prince is right here, we can take our revenge first!â
âYouâre right!â The two women turned their gaze towards the Ninth Prince on the bed, a dangerous glint in their eyes.
The Ninth Prince panicked, âWhat are you going to do? Donât⊠donât come any closer!â
Moments later, screams echoed through the palace.
After dealing with the Ninth Prince, the two women went in search of Lin Beifan with murderous intent.
And then, they found him in the imperial study.
Lin Beifan stood up and asked, âWhat brings you here on such urgent business?â
âHan Chuchuâ glanced at the old eunuch beside Lin Beifan, as well as a mysterious and formidable sword-bearing elder. Feeling somewhat intimidated, she whispered, âMiss, it seems itâs not a good time to make a move now!â
The personal maid looked at the protective forces beside Lin Beifan and nodded, âIndeed, itâs not a good idea to take action!â
The old eunuchâs strength was not to be underestimated; he had already reached the peak of the True Qi level.
She also sensed the presence of a hidden expert protecting them, whose strength had reached the Astral Qi level, giving her a very dangerous feeling.
And then there was that sword-bearing elder, who appeared inscrutable; she saw in him a semblance of her own fatherâs demeanor.
She muttered to herself in her heart: How does this foolish emperor have so many masters by his side?
âWhat is the matter?â Lin Beifan asked again.
âWe⊠we donât have any particular matter, we just wanted to come and greet Your Majesty!â âHan Chuchuâ glanced at her personal maid and said.
âYes, exactly!â the personal maid quickly nodded in agreement.
âI see, you both are thoughtful!â
Lin Beifan waved his hand: âMiss Chuchu, please do me a favor and step back for a moment! I have some words I wish to speak with the young lady alone!â
âAh, thisâŠâ âHan Chuchuâ looked towards her personal maid.
The personal maid asked curiously, âMay I know what Your Majesty has something to tell this humble girl?â
Lin Beifan replied with a smile, âItâs about the Ninth Prince! It should have been discussed with Miss Chuchu, but she is too impulsive, and some things are not so easy to say, soâŠâ
The personal maid nodded secretly at âHan Chuchu.â
âHan Chuchuâ said, âAlright, then I shall leave for now! Your Majesty, you must not mess with my maid!â
Lin Beifan declared loudly, âRest assured, as the ruler of a nation, I will not do anything improper!â
With that, âHan Chuchuâ left.
Lin Beifan had already strolled up to the personal maid, and then he suddenly embraced her.
The personal maid was shocked: âYour Majesty, youâŠâ
Lin Beifan released his grip, speaking excitedly, âIâm sorry, I was just feeling too happy. The feeling of being cared for is so wonderful! So I couldnât control my emotions for a moment! My lady, please donât mind it!â
The personal maid rolled her eyes. How could she not mind something like this?
Twice now!
It had happened twice already!
If it werenât for the fact that you have skilled protectors by your side, I would want to give you a thrashing right now!
The personal maid asked stiffly, âYour Majesty, if thereâs something to say, please hurry. The young lady is still waiting outside!â
Lin Beifan waved his hand dismissively, âItâs nothing, you may leave.â
The personal maidâs eyes widened in disbelief, âI may leave? You called me in just to hug me?â
âIsnât that enough? I didnât expect you to be so greedy. If you want a second hug, I shall indulge you!â
Lin Beifan opened his arms, âCome on, donât be shy, my embrace is always open for you!â
âYou jerk, Iâm done with you!â The personal maid stormed off in a huff.
Once outside, âHan Chuchuâ hurried over and asked softly, âMiss, did he do anything to you?â
âHe actually⊠he actuallyâŠâ
The personal maid gesticulated wildly, fuming with rage, âIn short, heâs utterly despicable, taking advantage of me again! I wonât rest until Iâve avenged this insult!â
