Although his heart itched, he couldn't show it. After all, that woman was his brother's concubine, and he couldn't overstep his boundaries.
His momentary loss of self-control made him regain his composure. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect Brother Long's family to have such a talented woman. It's your good fortune." Then he didn't mention the poem and the woman again, as if nothing had happened.
However, Long Heng liked conspiracy theories and felt that this wasn't a coincidence.
(Dear, you know the truth.)
Therefore, after sending off the Song Jiaoyue, he knocked on the table a few times. Why did he feel that the 'crazy' woman was a bit restless recently?
Even though he knew that she was a woman in his backyard, he still hesitated for a while before walking over without bringing anyone.
Winter Garden was really too remote, so he didn't see many people along the way.
But when he got there, there wasn't even a gatekeeper.
They had sent old maids and manservants everywhere, so why did they neglect her place?
Logically speaking, his mother shouldn't have made such a mistake.
In fact, he didn't know that the old madame had sent people over, but Bai Xiangxiu was afraid that they would delay her work, so she sent them back with the excuse that she was crazy and didn't want to see outsiders.
Since there was no one guarding the door, and he was the male owner, there shouldn't be a problem for him to enter!
Long Heng stopped outside for a while, but finally walked in.
The situation inside made him frown. It was too dirty and messy. There were messy pieces of paper all over the floor. There were even ink and brushes all over the place, staining the floor.
The owner of this place was sitting on a desk with her hair hanging loose, as if she was thinking about something. A little girl was lying on the ground, wiping the floor bit by bit, and said with grievance, "I told you not to put the inkstone beside the table, it gets ink all over the floor …"
No, why was there a pair of men's shoes?
It was already so late, why was there a man here?
Xiao Shi slowly raised her head, and then she saw an unusually cold and handsome face. She immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "This servant greets the Prince …"
"Prince what? Xiao Shi, stop fooling around.
Even if the Retired Emperor were to come, I would still have to pass this poem … "Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a man standing in front of her.
She knocked her head and rubbed her eyes, then said, "Xiao Shi, go call the doctor. What if I'm hallucinating again?"
Xiao Shi was so scared that she was about to cry. Her master had really become stupid from writing poems. This person was standing straight here. How could it be an illusion?
Long Heng was even more speechless. Did he really look like an illusion?
Or, was she actually looking forward to his arrival?
Thinking about it, his heart softened and he said, "Is this how you serve your master? Why is this place so dirty and messy?"
No matter if a man was in love with a woman or not, as long as she thought of him, he would always feel happy.
After he finished speaking, he continued to look at her. He felt that a woman like her wouldn't have any schemes to seduce him.
However, even so, he did not seem to feel disgusted.
"Prince, is it really the Prince?
Ah … "Bai Xiangxiu, who was not a talented woman, finally woke up from thinking about poems. After she screamed, she felt that she should salute the Prince.
She had already learned the etiquette here, but because she was too flustered, she tripped over the chair when she came out. With a thud, she knelt on the ground. She was in so much pain that she broke out in cold sweat. Trembling, she said, "Gree … greet the Prince?"
She should say it like that. These days, she had been thinking of ways to seduce the supporting male lead and thinking of poems. Her brain power had been exhausted to the extreme.
She couldn't help but admire those transmigrating seniors. Did they know that they were going to transmigrate? Stealing poems was really smooth.
But for her, even stealing poems was enough to make her head explode.
She really couldn't understand. Obviously, there was no news of the supporting male lead that she wanted to seduce. Why would the male lead come over?
In fact, when Long Heng arrived, he had already dispelled his previous thoughts. First, it seemed that this woman's brain wasn't very clear.
Second, this place was so dirty and messy that it wasn't impossible for her to take a piece of paper to wrap the date cake.
He also casually picked up a piece of paper and saw the entire poem Xiao Shi was written on it.
He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Was she using this poem to practice her calligraphy? She wrote so much.
In fact, he had guessed correctly. Bai Xiangxiu was indeed practicing her calligraphy while thinking of poems!
But seeing the woman kneeling on the ground trembling from the pain in her knees, he couldn't help but say, "Get up!"
Bai Xiangxiu wanted to cry, but no tears came out. She remained kneeling there without moving. She looked up at Long Heng before lowering her head again.
The look in her eyes caused Long Heng's heart to tremble. Had he done something bad to her? Why was she looking at him with such resentment?
"What's the matter? Do you need This King to help you up?"
He had a cold personality. Even though he felt that the woman in front of him deserved his love, he didn't know how to react.
He thought that she would definitely kneel down and apologize. Didn't most women have this kind of reaction?
But what kind of person was Bai Xiangxiu? She was a blockhead who spent all her time among flowers and plants.
She knew how to act obedient, but in front of the male lead, she was completely numb.
To put it nicely, this reaction was called fear.
To put it bluntly, she was scared and terrified.
She lowered her head and said with a bit of grievance, "Replying to Prince, it's not that this concubine doesn't want to get up, it's just that ….. I can't get up. My legs seem to be numb."
"… …" Long Heng was once again speechless. How could this woman be so delicate?
She had only been beaten to death before, but she had been so scared that she fell ill for two months.
This made her kneel and unable to get up.
He suddenly felt a sense of helplessness and said to Xiao Shi, "Help your master up."
Xiao Shi hurriedly went over to help her master. Because she used too much strength, she almost lifted her master up by the waist.
Long Heng's heart softened again. This woman was a bit too light. Even a little servant girl could carry her.
He wondered if she was as light as a feather.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Xiao Shi cry out in alarm, "Madame Xiu, Madame Xiu, what's wrong?" As she spoke, she shook the body that had already gone limp in her arms.
Long Heng was startled and asked, "What's wrong?" Seeing her head drooping in the servant girl's arms, it seemed that she had fainted?
No way, how could she be this weak? How could she be this weak? Just kneeling could make someone faint?
"What are you still standing there for? Go get a doctor."
Long Heng walked over and took her into his arms. He had been looking forward to holding her in his arms, but he hadn't expected that his wish would come true so quickly.
However, she really was very light.
Not only was she light, but she was also very soft. Not only was she soft, but she was also very fragrant. How could she be a threat like this? He was afraid that if he used just a little bit of strength, he could break all the bones in her body.
Xiao Shi was startled when she saw the Prince carry her master, but when she heard the Prince's orders, she hurriedly ran to the medicine room to call for a doctor.
Long Heng placed her on the bed in the inner room. This room in Winter Garden wasn't very big, and he felt that this room was pitifully small. There was no room when he turned around.
The bed wasn't very big either, but after she lay down, there was still a lot of space left.
Was a woman's body so small? He pressed his body down, but found that he had completely covered her.
His heart couldn't help but heat up, especially when he saw her bewitching face.
However, he was a calm person. The scene from before on the battlefield replayed itself, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly sat up and furrowed his brows.
As expected, beautiful women were all trouble. He didn't look at her anymore and left Winter Garden alone.
