Chapter 2673: Unjustly Accused

Xuexue found it hard to accept; her disheveled appearance had been seen by Long Rui. She might not have cared before, but as she spent more time with Long Rui, her feelings deepened, and she always cared about his thoughts and actions.

“Ah woo woo…! How do you know he doesn’t mind? You’re not a worm in his stomach.”

Zi Xia couldn’t help but laugh, she had thought the young lady didn’t care about her image, but it turned out she was unaware.

Xuexue whispered complaints, “Zi Xia, you’re also to blame. You’re my personal maid and didn’t remind me.”

Zi Xia: “Young lady, this maid thought you weren’t concerned about your image!”

Usually, the young lady seldom dressed up elaborately, Zi Xia hadn’t expected her to be so concerned about this.

Xuexue: “Nonsense, which girl in the world doesn’t care about her appearance?”

Finally, she mumbled another line: “Especially in front of the man she loves.”

Zi Xia: “Pfft!”

“Why are you laughing?” Xuexue, who was beating her chest and stomping her feet, was somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Zi Xia: “This maid is just happy.”

“Happy about what?”

“The young lady and the Prince are becoming inseparable.”

“Who said so?”

“Still denying it, the young lady cares so much about her appearance, surely she loves the Prince.”

“Who loves him?” Xuexue’s face turned red, and she scolded: “You dead girl, where do you get so many words? Hurry up and prepare hot water, this Princess Consort wants a bath.”

“Yes! This maid will prepare right away.” Zi Xia walked out with a smile.

In about Half a Cup of Tea’s time, Zi Xia brought a few maids, carrying several large buckets of hot water back.

“Young lady, the hot water has arrived!” Zi Xia shouted loudly as she reached the doorway, looking up and seeing Xiao Jiu squatting on the eaves.

Zi Xia asked the maids to carry the hot water into the room first; she stopped, looked up with her hands on her hips, and said to Xiao Jiu on the roof, “Hey! Little lecherous bird, what are you doing?”

“Who’s lecherous? Tigress, don’t talk nonsense.” Xiao Jiu squatted on the roof, watching ants carrying a small bug into a hole with effort, hesitating whether to intercept them, suddenly heard Zi Xia’s voice, and immediately rebutted.

“Still denying it, the young lady is bathing inside, what are you doing on the roof? Planning to peek?”

“What? The master is bathing.”

Xiao Jiu hadn’t reacted, on the roof was a transparent roof tile for lighting, through which you could directly see the scene inside the room, it naturally leaned over to look…

“Nothing at all, the master hasn’t started bathing yet, tigress, you’re just talking nonsense.”

As soon as Xiao Jiu finished speaking, Zi Xia seemed to have discovered some big secret, and began shouting loudly: “Young lady, young lady, something terrible has happened, there’s a pervert.”

“What’s going on?”

Xuexue was just about to bathe, hearing Zi Xia’s shout, she came out to check…

“Zi Xia, why are you shouting all over the place?”

“N-no, young lady, there’s a pervert.”

“What, what’s going on?”

Xuexue was utterly confused.

Zi Xia pointed to Xiao Jiu on the roof, shouting: “Young lady, young lady, look!”

Xuexue looked up and said puzzled, “Isn’t that Xiao Jiu?”

Zi Xia: “It… it’s peeking at the young lady taking… a bath.”

Xuexue’s mouth formed an O shape, looking very surprised: “Ah?”

Xiao Jiu no longer concerned about the ants carrying that little bug, angrily cursed at Zi Xia: “Tigress, stop talking nonsense, who’s peeking at the master bathing?”

Zi Xia: “You’re still denying it, I saw it with my own eyes!”

Xiao Jiu, unwilling to be insulted with baseless accusations, immediately shouted loudly, “What did you see? What did you see?”
