Chapter 201: Chapter 202 Foster Mother Not As Good As Birth Mother
Even Shao He, hidden behind the screen, was startled and almost cried out. Thankfully, she covered her mouth in time. Otherwise, if it were discovered that she was hiding there, no amount of explanations could suffice.
“How can outsiders understand what’s between her and Chu Yu, and how would you know who is right or wrong? For a commandery princess to gossip behind others’ backs, wouldn’t it be laughable if word got out?”
“I…”
“You should mind your status as a princess, your behavior is not the same as ordinary people, you need to be cautious with what you say and do.”
Pei Huaian didn’t give her a chance to speak, and he looked at her pitiable figure without a trace of sympathy, his eyes even held a hint of disgust.
If it weren’t for her status, he would have had her thrown out long ago, especially to have to listen to her say all this here.
“Brother An, are you angry? I know you’re doing this to protect your lifesaver, after all, he cured your leg, so it’s normal for you to defend her,” Xia Zhaohe said with magnanimous grace.
She appeared like a kind-hearted little white rabbit, making any man want to protect and cherish her.
Unfortunately, Pei Huaian was not buying her act.
“I’ve never considered her my lifesaver, and as for you, if you dare to spout nonsense again, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
This statement made Xia Zhaohe’s expression stiffen. She bit her lower lip, lowered her head, and looked pitifully sorrowful: “Brother An, I…”
“Stop pretending,” Pei Huaian cut her off directly, saying coldly: “I’m warning you, if you dare to speak nonsense again, don’t blame me for flipping my face and being ruthless!”
Xia Zhaohe, her face pale and her eyes brimming with tears, looked at Pei Huaian with a pitiful expression: “I…I…”
“Get out!”
“Brother An, you’ve changed,” Xia Zhaohe suddenly knelt down with a thump and sobbed: “You never used to speak to me like this, have you forgotten who stayed by your side?”
“I said, get out!” Pei Huaian shouted angrily, his anger surging upwards, almost wishing he could split the woman in front of him in two.
Does she not understand what limits are?
Doesn’t she realize that the more I tolerate her, the more outrageous she becomes?
Overwhelmed by Pei Huaian’s imposing aura, Xia Zhaohe was momentarily stunned. After a pause, she slowly stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and revealed a shallow smile: “Brother An, what Shao He did for your leg is simply what any doctor should do; you don’t have to feel grateful to her.”
“Whether I am grateful is my business, none of yours.”
Pei Huaian felt that he had made himself perfectly clear. Why couldn’t Xia Zhaohe understand that he never liked her before, and he won’t like her in the future, never ever.
Xia Zhaohe, upon seeing the person with a dark expression, quickly shifted the topic: “If Brother An dislikes my interference, then I won’t bring this matter up again.”
Hiding behind the screen, rubbing her arms, the delicate tone caused a shiver down her spine.
Thinking this, she quietly moved to the side and prayed in her heart for Princess Ninghe to leave quickly.
Pei Huaian let out a cold snort and ignored Xia Zhaohe.
Xia Zhaohe lowered her head and suppressed a smile, and then she continued: “However… since Shao He has helped you, and you saved her this time, I believe it means you two are even.”
“It’s getting late; Commandery Princess, please leave,” Pei Huaian said, having issued a dismissal multiple times, yet she stubbornly refused to leave.
Moreover, Xia Zhaohe even brought up their marriage, saying displeasedly: “Brother An, are you aware that my mother spoke to the Empress about our marriage, but the Empress flatly refused. It’s too much.”
Thinking about how her lifelong happiness was ruined by the Empress made her heart tight and she clenched her fists in silent fury.
Without choosing her words, Xia Zhaohe blurted out: “Indeed, a nurturing mother is no match for a birth mother.”
The air chilled several degrees after Xia Zhaohe’s words.
“Crack—” The teacup shattered.
Pei Huaian’s handsome face darkened with anger, his eyes flashing with dangerous cold light: “You had better watch your words, Commandery Princess. Mother has always treated me as her own, never wronging me, so where is the discussion of birth mother versus nurturing mother?”
“Unaware that nurturing grace exceeds that of birth, if I hear you slander the Empress again, don’t blame me for being impolite!” Pei Huaian showed a deep filial affection, defending the Empress in a way that allowed no doubt.
Xia Zhaohe, frightened and pale, knew she had touched Pei Huaian’s sore spot, hurriedly said: “I’m sorry… it was my thoughtless talk, I simply misspoke, please don’t hold it against me, Brother An.”
“Ah Mo, see Princess Ninghe out.”
“As you command, my lord.”
Ah Mo looked at the reluctantly departing Xia Zhaohe and said: “Princess Ninghe, please.”
“Brother An, I…”
Xia Zhaohe, seeing the person’s back turned to her, wanted to say something more, but seeing his resolute figure, she could only leave in silence, with a reluctant pout and constantly looking back.
Shao He, hidden behind the screen, heard the footsteps fade away, and only then came out.
