Chapter 40: Today is surprisingly obedient

  Han Caiwei suddenly heard

  Xiao Meiniang let go of her hand and walked over to Li Xiuzhen's side: "Father, you're back!"

  Xiao Meiniang is still very affectionate towards Li Xiuzhen, it can be seen that she has no estrangement from Li Xiuzhen in her heart. The nature of children is like this, they forget overnight.

  Han Caiwei didn't dare to look at Li Xiuzhen, seeing the young man running over, Shuang'er was also paying respects to Li Xiuzhen in the meantime. She hastily turned her head, hung it low and quickly walked towards another flower path. Just as she was about to step onto the stone road and disappear from view after turning a corner, someone behind her said in a deep voice: "This king thought you would never set foot in the palace again!"

  Han Caiwei's footsteps paused, and since she had been seen, she couldn't run away. She could only turn around, forcing an awkward smile: "Prince Wang, hello, hehehe."

  She didn't dare to look at him, the scene of her fleeing in a hurry last night, and the scene of him wearing his underwear and stepping into the wooden bucket also involuntarily appeared in her mind, her face turned red, and she secretly scolded herself for being strange, why was it that every time she was in front of him, she wasn't normal?

  Li Xiuzhen raised an eyebrow, looking at the woman in front of him who was avoiding his gaze. He thought back to what had happened last night and felt annoyed. Narrowing his eyes, he said, "After all these days, you still have this kind of temperament! What's with 'you're good', won't you even give your king a proper greeting?"

  Han Caiwei was pulled by Shuang'er and had no choice but to bend her knees: "Wang Wangye, congratulations."

  Li Xiuxian smiled contentedly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "You're quite clever today! I thought you'd just muddle through, but instead you asked for leave!"

  "The rest of the words were swallowed back by Han Caiwei, she really felt sorry for Li Xiuzhen because of last night's affairs, seeing him made her mind chaotic, and she also saw that he was teasing herself early on, so she simply decided not to speak."

  Li Xiuxian smiled slightly, but her gaze fell on her drooping hand. At a glance, she saw that her left ring finger was wrapped in a white cloth strip, and faintly visible were red stains seeping through. Her eyebrows furrowed: "What's wrong with your hand?"

  Han Caiwei glanced at the young man, signaling him not to speak. The young man didn't know why, but he received Han Caiwei's gaze and shut his mouth tightly. Only then did Han Caiwei purse her lips and force a smile: "It's nothing, I just accidentally scratched myself, it'll be fine in a few days."

  Li Xiuzhen furrowed her brow: "How were you injured? Where were you injured? Come here and let me take a look."

  Han Caiwei hastily hid her hands behind her back and took a few steps back, still forcing a smile: "Really, it's nothing, Your Highness doesn't need to mind."

  Li Xiuzhen ignored her and pointed at Shuang'er with his hand: "You tell me."

  Shuang Er was taken aback, looking at Han Caiwei with a difficult expression. Han Caiwei stared back at her with an unspoken warning in her eyes. Li Xiuzhen had seen this from the start and looked at Han Caiwei before saying: "You come over here. Shuang Er, speak."

  Han Caiwei knew she couldn't win the argument, so she had to back down. Shuang'er saw that her mistress was no longer stopping her and said: "Yes. Tell the prince, Miss was scratched by a shard of porcelain from a broken vase." Shuang'er recounted the entire situation from earlier, only omitting Han Caiwei's last words. It sounded like she was a kind and well-meaning concubine, but in reality, Han Caiwei had initially intended to be just that.

  Li Xiuzhen listened for a while without speaking, looked at the Wang family's courtyard for a moment, and then said: "This matter was caused by you, it is your duty to take care of Bao'er. However, she really doesn't drink herbal medicine and can't stand bitter tastes, yesterday's incident was indeed caused by you, her being angry with you is normal, but her attitude wasn't very good either, you also suffered injustice, in the future remember this lesson and don't do such things again! Let's go to Mei Garden, I'll have Ah Fu bring some good medicinal paste for Xuer to apply on your wounds."
