Chapter 303: The Quarrel
Liuli simply couldn't believe it, even though she was the one who was most seriously injured.
"Young master, was it Physician Song who beat the man into this state?" The old eunuch was also shocked by Yu Huailin's favoritism.
"Who is she? Mi Qiu never hits people randomly." Yu Huailin simply stated, distancing himself from the situation.
The old eunuch was even more displeased that Yu Huailin was protecting Song Miqiu so much.
“Young master, she is my adopted daughter, Liuli. I am doing this to repay you by making her your concubine.”
“No need,” Yu Huailin refused without hesitation.
He was extremely disgusted that the old eunuch had taken it upon himself to arrange a concubine for him.
“Young master, you have no one to care for you. This old servant is just concerned for you,” the old eunuch said, revealing the woman’s identity.
"Young master, don't you like me?" Liuli had heard that Yu Huailin was exceptionally handsome, and seeing him today, she was indeed no less so. She became shy for a moment.
“I don’t like them, and I don’t need concubines either.” Yu Huailin’s face was full of anger.
Song Miqiu became even more irritated by the three people talking back and forth.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and a heavy atmosphere filled the air.
"This old servant meant well. Liuli is kind and considerate, and it would be inconvenient for her to take care of the young master with the imperial physician Song by her side."
Song Miqiu finally understood that she was being disliked, that she, an old woman, was being treated as a disgrace.
Song Miqiu snorted and said, "So that's how it is! Young Master Yu, you should accept other people's kindness properly."
Young Master Yu sensed the sarcastic tone in Song Miqiu's voice and felt very uncomfortable. He said with a serious expression, "Miqiu, you know perfectly well that I didn't mean it that way at all."
"Young master, are you saying you don't want me? I will never marry anyone but you," Liuli said, tears streaming down her face.
“Yes! Young master, Liuli is all alone. Apart from me, an old eunuch, no one wants her anymore. If you don’t want her, aren’t you just leaving her to fend for herself?” The old eunuch also looked helpless.
Yu Huailin was subjected to a barrage of accusations from these two people, leaving him feeling utterly speechless and unable to defend himself.
Song Miqiu finally saw through the old eunuch Liuli's intentions, and immediately felt a bit more resentful towards Yu Huailin.
"Alright, you don't need to put on an act in front of an outsider like me. Do whatever you want."
"Imperial Physician Song, what do you mean by this? This old servant is just sending someone to take care of the young master. Why are you so angry?"
Song Miqiu was now unmoved by the old eunuch's words, only feeling that the old eunuch's purpose was obvious: he didn't want her to be with Yu Huailin.
Hearing Song Miqiu's anger, Yu Huailin quickly comforted her, saying, "Miqiu, I will never marry this woman."
Liuli cried and said, "I don't want you to marry me, young master. I'll just be a foot-washing maid."
“Young master, please take her in! She is my adopted daughter, and I know her well.”
"You old eunuch! I kindly saved you in the imperial tombs, and this is how you repay me? You have to find a woman to annoy me!" Liuli was furious when the old eunuch insisted on giving her to Yu Huailin again and again.
The old eunuch was speechless for a moment after being scolded by Song Miqiu. He didn't know how to respond and just lowered his head and remained silent.
"Although I, Song Miqiu, have good intentions, I am not a pushover. Yu Huailin, from now on, you should follow the old eunuch and Liuli and live a good life. Don't bother me anymore."
Song Miqiu threw down a harsh remark and ran out, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, her heart aching slightly. It turned out that Yu Huailin had unknowingly become more and more important to her.
Yu Huailin felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard Song Miqiu say those hurtful words.
"Young master, is there anything else the old eunuch wants to say?"
Yu Huailin bluntly said, "You just focus on your own business and stay out of my way."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin quickly chased after him.
"Miqiu, Miqiu, wait for me." Yu Huailin was afraid that Song Miqiu would really ignore him and abandon him.
The old eunuch was so frightened by Yu Huailin's anger that he didn't say a word. After all, he was a prince, and he had the demeanor of a king.
The glass on the ground was also shocked, never expecting that Yu Huailin, a gentleman as gentle and refined as jade, could be so fierce when he got angry.
Song Miqiu showed no sign of turning back. Yu Huailin chased after her and grabbed her hand, saying, "I don't know why the old eunuch arranged for a woman like this. I've never even seen her before."
"Yu Huailin, do you think everyone else is stupid? You said you didn't know Liu Xiaoyue, and you used the same excuse for Liuli. Do you even believe what you're saying yourself?" Song Miqiu yelled at Yu Huailin without any regard for her image.
Yu Huailin was surprised to see Song Miqiu lose her composure so rarely, but he was secretly pleased. He knew Song Miqiu had feelings for him, and she was just jealous.
"I'm really innocent. I don't know these two women at all, I've never seen them before." Yu Huailin felt like he was in a situation where he couldn't clear his name no matter what.
I don't know how two women suddenly appeared, and they both want to be his concubines.
"I think you're not innocent at all; you're always attracting attention."
“Miqiu, others may not believe me, but don’t you? When have I ever attracted any attention?”
"I..." Song Miqiu was speechless when Yu Huailin asked her the question.
"Miqiu, please don't ignore me, and please don't kick me out," Yu Huailin said, her tone softening.
Song Miqiu thought it made sense; Liuli was obviously arranged by the old eunuch, and Yu Huailin had always been indifferent to women.
"Okay, I'll trust you for now."
"Let's go home!"
Yu Huailin was afraid that Song Miqiu would not let her go home, so she quickly reminded us that it was us.
Song Miqiu nodded.
Yu Huailin kept saying these things along the way, trying to cheer Song Miqiu up, but Song Miqiu just gave simple replies and wasn't particularly happy.
Yu Huailin also realized that Song Miqiu was really angry about this incident.
“Goddaughter, His Highness was just saying that in anger. Don’t take it to heart. You are the person His Highness cares about the most. His Highness was just temporarily infatuated with that old woman, Song Miqiu.”
The old eunuch never expected that Song Miqiu was so important to the Crown Prince.
"But Your Highness cares a lot about Song Miqiu, otherwise you wouldn't have chased after her so quickly." The old eunuch said helplessly.
“Your Highness, a man of exceptional talent and ability would never be interested in Song Miqiu. It must be that Song Miqiu is using some method to pester Your Highness.”
"That's for sure. Your Highness must have been entangled by Song Miqiu in some way."
"Godfather, we must do everything we can to make His Highness change his mind. We can't let that old hag Song Miqiu control His Highness."
The old woman overheard Liuli saying that Song Miqiu was pestering Yu Huailin and that he was being controlled, and suddenly she also hated Song Miqiu.
"I never imagined she was so cunning."
"Godfather, don't worry, I, Liuli, will definitely do my best to make His Highness change his mind."
The old eunuch was very happy to see Liuli; thankfully, he had this adopted daughter by his side.
