Chapter 846: Clear Mind
Weizhi raised her eyebrows and smiled wickedly.
"Now that Master Tao is back, what else can he do? The young lady is asking even though she knows the answer."
"I think so. I keep thinking about your cuteness in my mind. I miss you so much that I can't bear to be apart from you for even a moment."
Xu Yingyuan was ashamed and angry and glared at her.
"You deserve to be beaten for being such a jerk."
Weizhi was obedient and compliant.
"Yes, I know I was wrong, and I deserve to be beaten."
Lord Xiao Tao arrived from time to time, and she took the opportunity to ask about important matters.
"I have sent someone to the guest room to ask the female doctor to come and apply medicine to the young lady."
"I just didn't expect that Master Xiao Tao would come back so soon."
"Please make the decision young lady. Do you want to apply the medicine? Should I send a message to the doctor to wait a moment?"
Xu Yingyuan replied simply.
"No need to pass the message, you stay."
Wei Zhi looked embarrassed.
"I'm afraid it would be inconvenient for me to stay. Isn't it time for you to accompany Master Xiao Tao?"
Xu Yingyuan added additional explanation.
"You should know when to stop being interested. Too much is not good. Don't let him get tired of you before you get married."
"You stay with me. If he doesn't leave, you are not allowed to leave, so that he won't do anything to you again."
Wei Zhi smiled in response.
"Yes."
Xu Yingyuan greeted Tao Muzhan with a pleasant face and brought him into Xiaouju.
Weizhi walked to the entrance of the main hall, took the snacks handed to her by the waiter, dismissed the outsiders, and started serving tea.
Xu Yingyuan looked shy and half-seriously ordered the guest to leave.
"We are just lovers. It's not good to meet at night."
"I'm very tired today. If Brother Mu Zhan wants to treat me to dinner, let's do it next time."
Tao Muzhan glanced at Weizhi and hinted to Yuaner to send the maid away.
"I'm not here for a dinner invitation."
Judging from his expression, Xu Yingyuan knew what he was thinking, but she ignored it and continued to order him to leave.
"This incident was purely an accident. I know that you value my reputation and are definitely not someone who would behave improperly. I turned back only to have a cup of tea before leaving, out of courtesy."
"I also think that etiquette should be thorough."
"Brother Mu Zhan, please have some tea."
Tao Muzhan was serious and meticulous.
"I don't want tea."
"After thinking it over, there are some things that I think I need to make clear to you."
Xu Yingyuan looked curious.
"What?"
Tao Muzhan glanced at Wei Zhi again.
"I want to tell you alone."
Seeing his clear thoughts, Xu Yingyuan lowered her eyes and smiled.
"Zhi'er is like a sister to me. Brother Mu Zhan doesn't need to care about her, but you can talk about it."
Tao Muzhan responded helplessly.
"Ok."
Since she was not worried about losing face, he had no scruples and spoke his mind boldly.
"I want to say that there is no rush to discuss our marriage."
Xu Yingyuan was horrified.
"what?"
"Brother Mu Zhan, what nonsense are you talking about? You clearly didn't say that just now."
The plan failed so suddenly that she was caught off guard. She quickly checked Wei Zhi's expression to see if she was gloating.
Wei Zhi had a wooden face and pretended that he heard nothing, for fear of angering his master.
Tao Muzhan made a solemn statement.
"Just now, I was in high spirits, and what I said doesn't count."
Thinking of Zhuang Xianhui's attitude of adding insult to injury when she found out about this, Xu Yingyuan felt completely humiliated and angry.
"How can it be counted? How can you go back on your word?"
"I am already yours. What good will it do to my reputation if we delay the marriage?"
"Brother Mu Zhan, you know that this was Hui'er's idea. She made things worse. It was not what I wanted. Why should I risk being laughed at and live in fear?"
Tao Muzhan promised.
"Don't worry, I will properly handle the trouble Hui'er caused."
These words were very harsh to hear, and Xu Yingyuan felt depressed and unhappy.
Tao Muzhan comforted her with soft words.
"This is not what you want, nor is it what I want."
"I can't accept it right now."
"Give me some time to think it over, okay?"
Xu Yingyuan wanted to act magnanimous, but she couldn't smile at all.
"A little time, how long is it?"
"I won't have to wait until the end of time, will I?"
Tao Muzhan pretended.
"It could be as short as a few days or as long as a few months."
"Marriage is no joke. I'll be truly responsible to you if I think it through carefully."
"dont you agree?"
Xu Yingyuan was extremely reluctant to agree.
"Yes."
Tao Muzhan was satisfied and reached out to touch her head.
"Then let's make a deal and discuss the marriage then."
Xu Yingyuan grinned, not quite smiling.
"it is good."
Tao Muzhan left with a word of praise and got up to leave.
"I am very relieved to have Yuan'er's understanding."
Seeing him leaving in a hurry without any reluctance, Xu Yingyuan felt even more upset.
"You're leaving now, without a cup of tea?"
Tao Muzhan refused without hesitation.
"No more drinking, I have something else to do."
Xu Yingyuan frowned.
"Are you going to look for Hui'er?"
Tao Muzhan answered casually.
"No."
Xu Yingyuan was depressed.
"If you say it's not, then it is."
Tao Muzhan refused to stay and left immediately after he finished speaking.
"Certainly not."
"Considering her reputation, I can't go and disturb her in the middle of the night."
This is also harsh to hear.
Watching him walking away, Xu Yingyuan became displeased and kicked the vase next to her with all her strength.
"You didn't bother her because of her reputation, but why did you bother me? Ridiculous!"
"In his eyes, I am a prostitute who can be summoned and dismissed at will. I don't need to consider my reputation? This is ridiculous!"
"Tao Muzhan, how dare you look down on me like this? This is too much!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wei Zhi tried to evacuate.
"Girl, please calm down."
"My servant's working hours are over. It's time to go home."
She quickened her pace and fled in a hurry.
Xu Yingyuan shouted at her.
"Don't move, stop!"
"You don't even want to look at me, and you treat me like a piece of trash?"
Wei Zhi was forced to stop and return to her master.
"No, no, I have absolutely no such intention."
"Miss, please look at the time. The working hours have really passed."
Xu Yingyuan gave the order promptly and efficiently.
"Today, if you work overtime, I will double your salary."
Wei Zhi was shocked.
"Ah? Miss, think twice. I am sleepy."
Xu Yingyuan yelled angrily.
"I work to earn money, but I can be lazy just because I feel tired?!"
"If you don't want this livelihood, just tell me directly. I will send you away and never come back!"
Weizhi was so scared that she fell to her knees.
"I was sleepy and said something wrong by mistake."
"The actual reason is not laziness, but the kindness of my family. They don't know about the night shift, and they are probably waiting for me to go back and have dinner together."
"Please, young lady, for the sake of our elders, let me go home."
Xu Yingyuan gritted her teeth.
"I still say the same thing, if you leave, don't ever think of coming back!"
"Do you dare to leave?"
Wei Zhi was helpless.
"I am terrified, please forgive me, young lady."
Xu Yingyuan felt a little relieved and smiled happily, but under the dim moonlight, her smile still seemed strange.
"Zhi Er, you are the most considerate at the critical moment. Thank you for staying with me."
She helped Weizhi up with her own hands.
"Don't worry, I will send someone to tell your mother not to worry."
Weizhi forced a smile.
"Thank you girl."
She first ordered the servants to clean the main hall, and then helped the girl to the bedroom.
She secretly thought that as long as she could coax her master to sleep, she wouldn't have to worry about her master getting angry with her.
