Before Wen Chi approached, those people noticed him.

“Young Master Wen, you’re here.” Zhang Cai Hui, who seemed to be in the worst condition, was the first to speak. She hurriedly asked the maid to help her up and an extremely weak smile appeared on her pale cheeks, “You are still sick, how can you come out by yourself?”

Wen Chi thought to himself, “I came out to drive you away.”

The moment later, Zhang Cai Hui said: “Young Master Wen could have sent a palace maid or an eunuch to pick us up, you didn’t have to come here in person.”

Wen Chi: “…”

Ruo Fang next to her lowered her head and pouted softly: “What a thick face, dare to say whatever you want.”

Wen Chi really didn’t expect Zhang Cai Hui’s endurance to be so strong. He looked at Zhang Cai Hui’s bloodless face and asked very formulaically, “What’s wrong with Concubine Zhang?”

Zhang Cai Hui smiled and shook his head: “I was just a little dizzy, nothing serious.”

Who knew that as soon as her voice fell, the palace maid beside her complained angrily: “My master and the other ladies came to visit Young Master Wen with good intentions but Young Master Wen didn’t appreciate it and even let my master and all the other ladies wait outside, if not for the long wait, my master would not have fainted from heat stroke… …”

The palace maid had almost finished her sentence when Zhang Cai Hui scolded, “Liu Li, shut up.”

The palace maid said, “But master…”

Zhang Cai Hui said fiercely, “You don’t have the right to speak here.”

Hearing this, the palace maid suddenly fell silent like a duck strangled by her neck.

Seeing this, Zhang Cai Hui turned back to look at Wen Chi, her stern face switched seamlessly to the gentle and harmless smile she had not long ago. She made an apologetic gesture and said: “Young Master Wen, this little girl has no discipline and said such words in front of Young Master Wen. I will punish her severely when she returns so Young Master Wen, please don’t take this matter to heart.”

Wen Chi: “…”

He watched the two masters and servants sing in harmony and felt very depressed. After thinking for a moment, he got ready to explain.

However, before Wen Chi could speak out, Ruo Fang who was beside him, couldn’t wait to speak up: “Your master hasn’t said anything yet but you as a servant are here to pick up a fight. Your master has good intentions, isn’ t my young master also have good intentions?  My master is afraid of spreading the cold to the ladies but I didn’t expect that my master’s kindness would be taken as a donkey’s liver and lungs1!”

Who knew, Ruo Fang had such a sharp-tongued and spoke as if she was spitting beans and those words of explicit ridicule kept popping out of her mouth, causing the maids to stare blankly and causing everyone present to blush.

Although Ruo Fang’s eyes fell on the palace maid when she spoke, her cannon fire attacked everyone present indiscriminately.

Especially Zhang Cai Hui, who seemed to be unable to hold back her face from turning blue to white.

Wen Chi’s head throb: “Ummm… Ruo Fang…”

“Young Master, don’t persuade this slave. Even if you punish me today, this slaves will still say this.” Ruo Fang said. She choked up abruptly and her eyes and the tip of her nose became red in an instant while her eyes were filled with tears, her frowning eyebrows were filled with endless grievances, “Young Master, you were so unwell to such an extent but they still insisted on coming to see you and they even said that they won’t leave if they don’t see you. But did they ever think about your health? If they had left earlier, you wouldn’t have to drag your seriously ill body to be slandered by a servant like that.”

After speaking, Ruo Fang seemed to be unable to bear the grievance any longer and sobbed softly while covering her face with her hands.

Wen Chi hesitated: “Ruo Fang…”

Ruo Fang cried: “Young master is kind-hearted and would have never thought about these things, how can you understand the grievances of this slave?”

Wen Chi: “…”

He just wanted to give Ruo Fang a thumbs up.

Ruo Fang cried sadly and Zhang Cai Hui and others fell silent.

Especially the maid supporting Zhang Cai Hui, who is also a woman, how could she not understand Ruo Fang’s intentions? But seeing Ruo Fang crying so selflessly, she couldn’t even get a word in and she could only gnash her teeth in anger.

Zhang Cai Hui and the other ladies’ faces were no better than that of the palace maid. They looked at Ruo Fang, who was out of breath from crying and at Wen Chi, who was looking up at the sky in high spirits with an angry smile on his face.

Looking at that face with red lips and white teeth… Is this what a seriously ill person should look like?

That palace maid is talking nonsense with her eyes open!

Zhang Cai Hui who has had a smooth life from childhood to adulthood, apart from not being able to see His Royal Highness even after marrying into the East Palace, this is the first time that she had such a big loss. The strong sense of shame climbed up from the soles of his feet and in the blink of an eye it spread all over her body.

She admit that she intentionally led the other ladies to visit Wen Chi and conveniently use it as a family gathering but Wen Chi not only did not appreciate it but also let an inferior palace maid humiliate them like this.

So hateful!

This Surname Wen was just lucky to be looked at by His Highness but did he really think that she is some spring onion2? He has not even straightened up his back yet 3 and he is putting up a show in front of them, even refusing to see her repeatedly.

The more Zhang Cai Hui thought about it, the more angry she became. Why did she run up against a wall 4with the same person again and again? Only this Surname Wen dares to treat her like this ……
