Chapter 573: 573

573 Luring the Snake Out of the Cave (1)

There was something going on in the military camp today. When Xiao Qirui returned to the residence, the sky had already turned dark. From afar, he could see the faint light coming from the Splendid Courtyard, and he could vaguely hear voices.

He took a few steps closer to hear more clearly. Before he could approach, he heard footsteps. Xiao Qirui quickly turned around to leave.

“Young master?” A surprised voice came from behind.

The only person who would call him that was the maidservant beside Yuan Yuwan. Xiao Qirui stopped in his tracks, but You Bai had already jogged in front of him and blocked his way.

Xiao Qirui could only nod at her as if nothing had happened. “I was passing by.”

You Bai did not notice that something was wrong with him and said happily, “That’s good. Young Master, have you eaten?”

Xiao Qirui had already eaten in the military camp. He was about to nod and say that he had eaten when he heard You Bai say, “I received Miss’s instructions and was about to go to the front courtyard to invite Young Master to the Splendid Courtyard for dinner. I didn’t expect to meet Young Master here.”

You Bai had been happy since she heard Yuan Yuwan’s instructions in the afternoon. She was really happy.

She knew that her mistress had already turned cold, but after a woman got married, she relied on her husband’s doting to survive and give birth to a son and a daughter.

If her Miss had nothing, the Xiao family would still treat her well because of guilt. What about in the future?

You Bai did not even dare to imagine how her young miss would end up.

“Your young lady instructed you?” Xiao Qirui swallowed his words and asked in disbelief.

You Bai nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. Miss instructed me this afternoon. We haven’t eaten yet in order to wait for Young Master.”

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Qirui had already turned around and walked towards the Splendid Courtyard.

“You haven’t eaten yet? It’s late. Aren’t you messing around?” he thought.

You Bai was stunned for a moment. She covered his mouth and snickered. See, she knew it. Young master had her young miss in his heart.

Glancing somewhere, she snorted and happily chased after him.

On the path, a maidservant saw Xiao Qirui enter the Splendid Courtyard and quickly turned around to run back to the Magnolia Courtyard to report.

“What did you say? My husband went to the Splendid Courtyard?” Feng Manman’s fingers were pricked by a needle as she looked up in disbelief.

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Eldest Young Master was about to come to our courtyard, but he was stopped by Young Madam’s You Bai. I don’t know what she said, but Eldest Young Master turned around and went to the Splendid Courtyard,” the maidservant said carefully.

Feng Manman could almost imagine Xiao Qirui’s expression at that time. Happy? Surprised?

A strong wave of envy surged into her heart.

She did not understand why Yuan Yuwan, who had always been pretentious, seemed to have become a different person today.

Everyone thought that Xiao Qirui doted on her. Before she entered the Xiao family, she thought that he still had her in his heart, but reality slapped her in the face.

Xiao Qirui married her only to repay her kindness and give her a place to stay. He would rather sleep on the floor than sleep with her.

“Aunt, do you want to prepare dinner?” the maidservant asked.

A sharp glint flashed across Feng Manman’s eyes. She shook her head and lowered her head to continue embroidering. She said weakly, “I don’t have an appetite. I’m not eating.”

The maidservant knew that Feng Manman was disfigured because she wanted to save Eldest Young Master. She could have been the main wife of a commoner. Seeing her like this, she couldn’t bear it and comforted her. “Aunt, don’t worry. Eldest Young Master has rested in our courtyard more often than in the main courtyard. It can be seen that Eldest Young Master has taken a fancy to you. He might come over later.”

The corners of Feng Manman’s lips curled up into a mocking smile under her veil. He had rested here so many times for fools like her to see. It was just to prevent her from being looked down upon in this residence.

He was clearly such a good person, but he was so heartless.

In the Splendid Courtyard, the two of them quietly finished their meal. You Bai thoughtfully changed their teacups and retreated.

Xiao Qirui was a little stuffed from eating, so he didn’t touch his teacup. He looked at Yuan Yuwan, who was sitting opposite him, and said seriously, “I’ll try my best to come back early in the future. If I’m late, you don’t have to wait for me. Don’t starve yourself.”

After saying that, he felt that his words were a little wrong. She didn’t say that she would invite him over for dinner every day. This made him look like he was thinking too much.

Noticing that there was a new hairpin on Yuan Yuwan’s head, he quickly changed the topic. “This jade hairpin suits you very well.”

His expression did not seem to be fake. It was clearly the first time he had seen this jade hairpin.

After guessing something, Yuan Yuwan smiled faintly. “Is that so? Aunt Feng gave it to me.”
