CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: HOW ABOUT YOU SLEEP ALONE TONIGHT?

’Clang——’

Just then, Qiao’er returned with the fetched water.

Seeing the scene before her, she was so startled that she couldn’t hold onto the silver basin filled with hot water, and it dropped directly to the ground.

"Princess!"

Just as Yun Chunnuan was about to touch the plate with chicken chunks, her little hand was suddenly tightly grasped.

Qiao’er, with a face full of terror, stopped her.

Yun Chunnuan woke as if from a dream, hurriedly withdrawing her hand.

But her tears fell uncontrollably, pattering down.

Qiao’er also cried, tears of heartache.

There was no need to think; she knew the Princess was jealous because the General went to the second concubine’s.

"General! How can you do this? Since you went to the second concubine, why bother coming back! Your behavior is... is... eating from the bowl while looking at the pot!"

Hearing Qiao’er’s words, Yun Chunnuan broke into sobs.

Clearly, she didn’t want to cry in front of him because it’s not worth it!

But she just couldn’t hold back!

Yelyu Lie was dumbfounded, "You’re angry... because I went to Lian Qiao’s place?"

"What else?" The Little Princess ignored the General, and Qiao’er answered for her, "The Princess personally cooked a delicious dish of wild vegetables and scrambled eggs! Happily waiting for the General to return, only for the General to go to the second concubine under the pretense of being busy! Why shouldn’t the Princess be angry? Why can’t she be angry?"

The more Qiao’er spoke, the more spirited she became, not knowing where she got the courage, she pointed her small waist and accused, "The Princess has been in the mansion for less than two days, and the General already couldn’t resist seeking other women. If it were my man, I would have hacked him to death!

General, you’re excessive! I... I misjudged you! I’ve decided never to admire you again in the future!"

Yelyu Lie: "..."

This girl, is her skin itching?

Normally, no matter how good-natured Yelyu Lie was, no one in the mansion dared to offend him.

After all, he always wore a forbidding expression on his face.

But Qiao’er, for some reason, whether she’s used to seeing his gentle smile or she’s just too angry, dared to speak such irreverent words.

And Yelyu Lie, who should have been furious,

But upon learning the Little Princess’s true reason for being upset, he found himself without any temper.

Even... even he felt a bit happy inside?!

Yelyu Lie was taken aback by this thought, increasingly feeling like a madman.

Seeing the Little Princess secretly shedding tears, he felt uneasy.

"Nuannuan..."

Yun Chunnuan looked up in shock; because of this address, her tears flowed even more fiercely.

She missed home!

She missed her parents, her grandparents!

Only family would call her that...

Yun Chunnuan’s home, although not wealthy, adored her like a treasure.

She loved singing and performing, and her parents supported her unconditionally.

Growing up, Yun Chunnuan had hardly encountered any setbacks, which made her cheerful, sunny, and helpful.

But after traveling through time, she almost cried out all the tears of her past life!

Seeing the Barbarian General about to continue speaking, she didn’t want to listen!

"Don’t call me Nuannuan! Get out!"

Yelyu Lie: "..."

Seeing the Little Princess move further away from him, Yelyu Lie got up to move forward but stepped on the broken pieces of the plate he had just dropped.

’Crack,’ a sound of breaking echoed.

His heart was suddenly filled with guilt, deeply hating his own bad temper for the first time.

"I went to Lian Qiao’s place because..."

"Are you leaving or not?" Yun Chunnuan covered her ears.

She didn’t like misunderstandings, especially hated misunderstandings.

But at this moment, she preferred this misunderstanding to continue forever!

In her heart, she couldn’t accept that she had already developed feelings for a Barbarian in such a short time!

The Little Princess was very emotional, and Yelyu Lie stood there at a loss.

Qiao’er was also dumbfounded, completely not expecting the seemingly delicate Little Princess to be so fierce when angry!

"General..." Qiao’er quietly walked to Yelyu Lie’s side, "Why don’t you sleep alone tonight, let the Princess calm down, maybe it’ll be fine."

To be honest, Yelyu Lie didn’t want to leave.

Didn’t want to leave his Little Princess even a step.

After last night’s tender embrace, now having to sleep alone, Yelyu Lie found it hard to accept.

However, looking at the mess on the ground, and thinking about his recent attitude towards the Little Princess.

Yelyu Lie’s heart was full of guilt, "Nuan... I mean... I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have lost my temper without reason, but I went to Lian Qiao’s place truly for our wedding preparations!"

Yun Chunnuan was shocked at the same time, hurriedly stopping Yelyu Lie, "I don’t want to hear, those are all your women, go where you like."

"What my women! They all..."

"Are you leaving or not!"

The Little Princess was extremely agitated, making it impossible for Yelyu Lie to continue speaking.

Helplessly, he turned around, and seeing Qiao’er’s dark little face, his anger rose, "You talk too much! I shouldn’t have let you serve her! Clean up and you leave too!"

Qiao’er’s heart trembled, "Is the General not allowing this maid to serve the Princess anymore?"

Yelyu Lie didn’t answer, glancing back at the Little Princess, he made a decision in his heart.

But he didn’t speak it, choosing instead to act directly.

Even being eager to do so.

After he finally left, the one who wept was Qiao’er.

Apologizing to the Little Princess, saying she shouldn’t have spoken out of turn, causing her anger.

Now that the General didn’t allow her to serve, where would she find another master like the Little Princess?

Actually, Qiao’er had her own little thought, she felt the Princess liked her very much, and would definitely ask the General to keep her.

But after she cried for a long time, the Little Princess showed no reaction...

Qiao’er really panicked, apologizing to Yun Chunnuan more sincerely.

All she got was the Princess’s faint response: you go to sleep.

Qiao’er cleaned up the ground and left, feeling wronged.

She thought the Little Princess didn’t want her anymore, but little did she know, at this moment Yun Chunnuan’s mind was already firm in the plan for escape.

Moreover, it was imminent.

Tonight, it would be executed!
