C346 If there is no hope there will be no disappointment

When Morong Gan returned, he saw Huangfu Zhuer standing alone in the ice and snow, wearing a red dress, which made her face even paler. The wind blew through her long hair, and she blankly looked into the distance, his eyes filled with endless sorrow and worry.

He looked at her quietly. The current Huangfu Zhuer seemed so desolate and helpless. Perhaps she would rather die with her family than live alone like this.

She said she hadn't changed, but she had, and he looked into her eyes a lot of the time and saw something strange that worried him, but whatever it was, they had grown up together, and she had been his family, and he hoped she would be too.

He walked over to her. "Aren't you cold, Pearl?"

Seeing him, her eyes immediately lit up, laughing at herself. "Third Brother is back, I'm hiding from your wangfei."

Morong Gan frowned, but he had a helpless look on his face: What, is she bothering you?

I know that the Third Brother does not treat me as he used to, but your imperial concubine is too much of a bully, she only wants to drive me away, I really can't take the torment anymore, so I might as well just leave. " As she spoke, she covered his left wrist as if trying to hide something.

Morong Gan took a glance, "What's wrong with your hand?"

"I'm fine." Huangfu Zhuer took a step back and held onto it even more tightly.

"Let me see." He took her hand and pulled up his sleeve, revealing a piece of dark green. His tone immediately turned heavy, "How?"

Huangfu Zhuer was not in a good mood, "Go and ask your wife."

"She did?"

"Esteemed wangfei used a slingshot to hit the ice edge under the eaves. Even though she saw me, she still …"

Morong Gan looked carefully, "It's okay, it's just a little blood clot in there. Come in, I'll use some medicinal oil for you."

Bai Qianfan squatted on the ground, holding a long stick in one hand to carefully pluck the ashes from the stove while the other hand covered her mouth and nose.

"Esteemed wangfei, I think it's better if this servant does it. Please don't dirty your clothes." Yue Xiang bent her body, and was somewhat anxious.

"It's fine, I buried the thing. You won't be able to find it." She slowly pulled a black lump to the mouth of the stove and breathed a sigh of relief. "Deler, one came out."

Lv He came in from the outside, and upon seeing the situation, she shouted, "What are you doing, I can't let the smoke stench you out." He turned around and scolded Yue Xiang, "How are you waiting?

Yue Xiang felt a little wronged as she lowered her head and muttered, "This servant's name is Wangfei, wouldn't Wangfei listen?"

Lv He picked up Bai Qianfan with one hand, "If you don't listen, then directly take action, don't be afraid of offending her, our master is different from the others, she is different."

Lv He was standing tall, but she pulled Bai Qianfan to the point that she had to stand on her tiptoes. Her eyes were looking at the black lump on the stove's mouth, "Aiya, sister, slow down, it's my egg."

"I'll give it to you when it's clean." Lv He looked at Yue Xiang and dragged her out of the door.

The moment she stepped out of the door, Bai Qianfan immediately saw Morong Gan and Huangfu Zhuer standing in the courtyard. Even though it was only a quick glance, she was able to clearly see Morong Gan holding Huangfu Zhuer's hand.

With a stab of her heart, she flung Lv He away and entered Qi Hong's house.

"See that?" Lv He followed him in, and spoke without holding back: "He's fine, your little fight is completely useless."

Yue Gui didn't know what happened, but she asked Lv He. Lv He pointed to the door and said, "Go take a look yourself."

Yue Guiyi stuck her head out, called her mother, and immediately drew back. "I was almost seen by the prince, so the two of them went into the house."

Bai Qianfan knew that Huangfu Zhuer was in her heart, but knowing and seeing were two different things. Once one imagines it, the clear image would be deeply rooted in her mind, and would not be erased no matter what.

She let out a sigh, then lay on the table and closed her eyes to rest.

"If you want my opinion," Yue Gui snorted, "Princess, you have to use some ruthless methods. Back then, you were at the Prime Minister Bai's Mansion, and how Madame Bai dealt with you, you have to follow suit and take it out to deal with that Miss Huangfu!"

Bai Qianfan buried her face in her palms, "I don't want to become that fierce and cruel."

Yue Guiyi's eyes narrowed as she put on a vicious expression, "You can't do anything without being poisonous and being soft-hearted!"

Qi Hong glared at her. "Stop with your rotten idea, you've led a good princess astray."

Bai Qianfan spoke up for Yue Guiyi instead, "Elder sister, don't blame her. She only talked about it, that's all.

Yue Guiyi laughed, "Princess, you are still the one who knows this servant. All of us are not made for words, we are just trying to make ourselves sound good. If Sister Qi Hong had listened to what Princess Hua-Yang said, he would be surprised."

Qi Hong laughed, "Princess, you dare to spout such harsh words?"

Lv He patted Bai Qianfan: "Tell your big sister Qi Hong and see if she's scared or not."

Bai Qianfan laid on the table, not getting up, her two eyebrows raised up and down, pretending to be sinister. She intentionally lowered her voice and said, "Huangfu Zhuer, if you dare marry the Duke, this wangfei will skin you alive, pull out your tendons, slice your flesh with one blade after another, and feed your hands and feet to the dogs …" Eh, why didn't he give her any reaction? Wasn't that fierce enough?

She stood up and turned her head, "You guys … "Your Majesty … Your Highness …"

Morong Gan's face was gloomy, he did not say a word, but stared at her, causing her hair to stand on end.

There's no need to say that, he definitely heard what she said just now. Hmph, she only said it out loud, unlike him, who held onto Huangfu Zhuer's hand. He's angry, so isn't she angry at him?

After a long while, Morong Gan finally spoke out, "Did you hit the slingshot today?"

"Yes." "She held her head high and her neck high, her chin raised like a cannon." "What is it?"

Heh, how dare he be so unreasonable, being so unreasonable even when he did something wrong!

"Why Pearl?"

When she looked up, Morong Gan's dark expression made her feel as if her heart had been pierced once again, and the words that came out of her mouth became, "So what if she's hit? Didn't you hear it earlier? I wanted to skin her and pull her tendons out!"

"You hate her so much?"

A few servant girls stood at the side, winking at her, hinting her not to go against Morong Gan.

Bai Qianfan ignored her and answered loudly, "I hate her so much!"

"Because I like her?"

Bai Qianfan opened hshe eyes wide, and after a long while, she finally admitted to it, "You finally admitted it," she shouted without care for anything else, "You like her!" She forcefully pushed him back, "So what if I hit her? You hit me!" After shouting, he ran out.

Morong Gan clenched his teeth, turned and followed him out.

When he found her, she had already calmed down. She sat on the swing and stared into the distance.

He stood at the back, looking at her desolate profile, and felt his heart tighten. He really wanted to hug her tightly, comfort her, and kiss her. He raised his hand, paused in mid-air, and then fell down again.

Now that things had gotten to this point, he could no longer turn back. He could only make her feel wronged again.

He didn't dare to give her any hints. Just like that night, as long as she sensed that he still had any feelings for her, she would immediately throw herself at him without a care for her own safety … But he still hurt her …

It would be better to let her hate him. If there was no hope, she would not be disappointed.
