Wild Princess: Marrying an Ugly Prince Chapter 158

Chapter 158 - Bai Aoxue’s Unshirkable Responsibilities

When Jun Yeyan went far, Bai Aoxue opened her eyes quietly, but narrowed wearily, and her face blushed. If Jun Yeyan saw Bai Aoxue’s appearance at present, he must love her ardently.

Thinking of the kiss with ardent love from Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue blushed again.

“Um…” There were several coughs which made Bai Aoxue dumb.

Bai Aoxue raised her head and found sneaky Mumian and Hongxiu, and Wenxi gave Bai Aoxue a glimpse stealthily.

Bai Aoxue was shocked. Did they witness that she and Jun Yeyan kissed just now?

“Good! Your salary for this month will be mine, Mumian!” Hongxiu said excitedly.

Mumian and Wenxi didn’t have time to stop her talking.

Bai Aoxue guessed that Mumian and Hongxiu made a bet, but she still asked quietly, “Hongxiu, why should Mumian give her salary to you?”

Hongxiu was excited because she finally won Mumian in betting. She was hilarious at the moment.

She didn’t realize the situation she was in and answered, “Mumian lost the bet with me, so she has to give her salary to me.”

“Well…can you tell me what the bet is?” Bai Aoxue narrowed her eyes and glanced at Mumian who was smiling embarrassedly.

Mumian was nervous and shivered severely when she found Bai Aoxue glance at her. She glared at Hongxiu furiously. If she was to be punished by Bai Aoxue, she would take Hongxiu with her.

Why was she so careless! They bet on their miss and unfortunately, their miss found out their bet.

“Mumian and I bet whether the Prince would kiss you. I bet the Prince would kiss you! Mumian bet you would not let the Prince kiss you.” Hongxiu talked excitedly.

Bai Aoxue listened to Hongxiu with interest and curled her lips. Her smile was terribly cold in the opinions of Mumian and Wenxi.

“Hongxiu…are you happy to win?” Bai Aoxue asked lightly, with her body leaning on the bed edge. She was so elegant and bewitched.

“Yes! I finally won Mumian for once. How can I not be happy! I am much happier that Princess…Princess…” Hongxiu paused when she caught the sight of Mumian’s awkward facial expression and she realized how serious the situation was. All of a sudden, she turned pale, looking at Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue smiled lightly at Hongxiu, who thought the smile was terrible.

“Well…I told the kitchen to simmer nutritious soup for you. I guess the soup is almost ready now. I need to check it out in the kitchen.” Hongxiu clapped her hands lightly as if she got something in her mind.

She would not wait for Bai Aoxue’s answer and rushed out of the room quickly.

Hongxiu’s action was so quick that Mumian and Wenxi didn’t have time to think about what was going on.

Mumian finally realized what was going on until Hongxiu disappeared in distance.

“Well…Miss, I also have something…” Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue in dumb but her meaning was obviously shown through her eye sight.

Bai Aoxue smiled lightly, “Then you can go to attend your things. I got Wenxi with me.”

Bai Aoxue’s words were an amnesty to Mumian. How dared she bet on her own master! It was equal to death! And what was more unfortunate was her master finding out the bet.

“But…you and Hongxiu will not get salary in the next three months. I think I am insulted by you. So, you must make up for me. If I find you do it again, I will not let it go so easily.” Bai Aoxue’s cold words came to Mumian who had just stepped across the threshold.

There was a kind of threat in her words which made Mumian hold back all her explanation.

Never mind! She was not lucky this time only to blame unreliable Hongxiu!

Thinking of this, Mumian took a deep breath, turned around with tears in her eyes, “Thank you, Miss. I got to go.”

Bai Aoxue tried her best not to laugh and waved to Mumian.

Mumian left the yard of Bai Aoxue quickly and went to the direction of Hongxiu.

When Mumian disappeared, Wenxi shook her head and laughed.

“Wenxi, you know I will go to Nanyue in fifteen days. I don’t plan to take you with me.” Bai Aoxue spoke out her thought slowly, looking at Wenxi.

Wenxi turned to Bai Aoxue, looking at her in confusion.

“It must be very dangerous this time. You have all been through so much with me. I don’t want to risk your lives this time. You can wait in the mansion for us to be back from Nanyue.” Bai Aoxue said slowly.

Actually, she had thought through the situation. It was a risky choice to marry Jun Yeyan. Hongxiu and Wenxi could protect themselves, but Mumian was different. Mumian grew up with her, and had been through difficulties in the prime minister’s mansion. But she didn’t recognize the vicious human nature in this world.

Bai Aoxue was afraid of Mumian getting hurt if Mumian kept on following her all the time. Bai Aoxue had always been hoping that Mumian could live a better life and didn’t have to be with her living in horror every day.

Right now, Bai Aoxue was in danger. She didn’t want to drag the three maidservants into danger. Besides, the poisons in Jun Yeyan’s body might take effect in any minute.

She was not sure she could wake up Jun Yeyan so easily like this time when Jun Yeyan was attacked by the poisons again.

There were so many unstable factors in the long run, and she really didn’t want to risk the three maidservants’ lives.

Wenxi figured out Bai Aoxue’s concerns. If it was other command, she would accomplish without any claim. But this time, she definitely would not obey Bai Aoxue.

“Miss, we have talked about this. Following you means we are your swords. We will chop wherever you point. We are your shields as well as your weapons.” Wenxi shook her head and looked at Bai Aoxue insistently.

Bai Aoxue didn’t know how to persuade Wenxi, and she felt warm in her heart.

Maybe… this is the true meaning of “Never leaving, never discarding.”

“I will not agree with you, Miss. And I believe Hongxiu and Mumian will not agree with you, either. Hongxiu seems to be careless, but she knows who she follows, and let alone Mumian. You know we are loyal to you, Miss. If you abandon us only for concerns over our lives, then what is the meaning of our existence?” Wenxi was a little bit excited when she said this to Bai Aoxue.

Wenxi’s eyes, which were calm and quiet usually, were holding tears now.

Bai Aoxue didn’t expect Wenxi would become so excited. It seemed that the three maidservants pledged to fight to death in defending her.

Bai Aoxue just analyzed the situation she was in and she was concerned about their lives, so she ignored their thoughts and feelings.

Bai Aoxue sighed for her ignorance.

Wenxi was a little bit anxious when she saw Bai Aoxue sigh. She might be a little bit too excited, but she just expressed her thought.

“Well, I see. I only thought about not risking your lives, but I didn’t considerate your thoughts. Sorry about that.” Bai Aoxue curled her lips.

Wenxi shook her head hardly, “We follow you just because we want to. We don’t have any aim. If there is an aim, it is we just want to share your responsibility. You didn’t complain to us a single time. But we all know that you are so tired.”

Bai Aoxue was shocked by Wenxi’s words. She thought she had hidden well and nobody would notice this.

Bai Aoxue was alone in this world without any relative for her to be concerned about in the past. Now she had so many responsibilities on her shoulders.

Ye Zhaojue’s hope on her; poisons in Jun Yeyan’s body; the happiness of the three maidservants; the will of Helian Cangyue; the future of Mo Li, Mo Shang and Mo Qing; fulfilling of Cangsheng’s will. All of these are responsibilities she had to take.

How could she shake off all these responsibilities? She must fulfill all these tasks no matter how hard they were!

“Thank you all, Wenxi. Then follow me and never turn around. I cannot promise you anything. But I can promise that if there is food for me, there must be food for you as well.” The light in Bai Aoxue’s eyes was sharp.

This was her promise, the most persistent and serious promise.

Wenxi was very happy to hear Bai Aoxue’s words.

She nodded fiercely for fear that Bai Aoxue would change her mind.

“Alright. I will take a rest. You can attend your issues.” Bai Aoxue rubbed her eyes wearily.

Wenxi stepped up quickly to Bai Aoxue’s bed and helped her lie down.

“Miss, I will wait outside for your need of anything.” Wenxi said to Bai Aoxue persistently.

Bai Aoxue didn’t say anything and nodded.

Then she closed her eyes to have a rest.

On the other hand, Jun Yeyan was preparing everything for the journey to Nanyue.

“Zhao, I need to ensure Aoxue is safe. So I need you to call Dark Shadow Ten back and disguise them as servants to guard Aoxue.” Jun Yeyan frowned.

Zhao also knew that there were many unstable and dangerous factors in this journey. He nodded and waited for next order from Jun Yeyan.

“Tell our people in Nanyue to closely watch Qi Lian’ge’s motion. Tell Zhaoye to build good relationship with officials in Nanyue so that we can make good use of them.” Jun Yeyan said coldly, thinking of Jun Wuhen intending to kill him during the journey.

“Master…Are we going to take action?” Zhao asked with hesitation.

Jun Yeyan lifted his eyebrows lightly.

After a short silence, Jun Yeyan continued, “When I am back from Nanyue, Jun Wuhen would have to give up the throne. Jun Wuhen wanted to kill me on the journey. We’ll see. Who on earth will be destroyed in the end!”
