Chapter 41 Chuntao's Mistake

Chapter 41 Chuntao's Mistake

“Xi Yue, don’t be too surprised. Actually, I was able to cultivate half a year ago. It was by chance that I had the opportunity to cultivate. Xi Yue, I’m sorry for keeping it from you for so long.” As Liu Ruxuan spoke, Xi Yue suddenly started to cry.

Xi Yue cried like a child who had lost her candy: "Waaah~~ Miss... it's okay... Xi Yue is so happy for you... Waaah~~" Xi Yue was crying tears of joy, and Liu Ruxuan even wanted to cry with her. Xi Yue was so good to her.

"Alright, Xiyue, don't cry. You're such a grown-up now, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Liu Ruxuan pulled Xiyue into her arms and gently patted her back. Xiyue sobbed a few more times: "Miss, I'm just so happy~ Hehe~~"

Liu Ruxuan released Xiyue: "Xiyue, remember, don't mention this to anyone."

Xi Yue wiped away her tears and nodded, "Miss, don't worry, I would never tell, even if you killed me."

Liu Ruxuan smiled, sensing the presence of other people outside the door. She casually removed the barrier and shouted, "Who's eavesdropping outside?!" At that moment, the sound of porcelain shattering came from outside the door. Liu Ruxuan flashed to the door and opened it to see a maid running out in a panic.

Xi Yue was at a loss: "Miss... what should we do?" What if she heard everything?

"It's alright, let her be. I just set up a barrier, she can't hear anything!" Liu Ruxuan walked out of the room, the eavesdropping maid had already disappeared. She walked to the broken teacup, tea was spilled all over the floor. Liu Ruxuan glanced at it, this cup of tea was really troublesome, it actually had laxatives in it!

Xi Yue breathed a sigh of relief: Luckily, Miss thought of everything so thoroughly, otherwise something really bad would have happened.

"what--!"

Two people bumped into each other in the garden. Yiqin got up first, recognized the other person, and then started yelling, "Chuntao! You brat, can't you watch where you're going?! What are you doing rushing around like that? You're going to kill me! Ouch, that hurts so much!"

Chun Tao scrambled to her feet and quickly bowed her head in apology: "Sister Yi Qin, Chun Tao didn't mean it... I... I..."

"I...I...I...I...What do you mean, 'I'?" Yiqin rubbed her shoulders. "Did you deliver the tea I asked you to?" It was very expensive Yongchun Narcissus tea. There were only ten trees of this variety on the top of Qisheng Peak, which is over 5,000 meters above sea level. The road to the top was extremely dangerous. It was a rare delicacy that many people couldn't afford even if they had the money.

"Delivered...delivered..." Chun Tao lowered her head, afraid of being punished. She was just a maidservant who did laundry and cooking for Liu Yiting, and her status was quite different from that of a personal maid like Yiqin.

"Did she drink it?" Yiqin felt a sense of satisfaction just thinking about it; she had put something in it.

"...I drank it..." Chun Tao hesitated, not daring to mention that the cup of tea had been broken.

Upon hearing those two words, Yiqin smiled with satisfaction.

Liu Ruxuan lay on a recliner under the locust tree, staring blankly at the yellowing, falling leaves. No one knew what she was thinking. Suddenly, a man's voice reached Liu Ruxuan's ears: "Xuan-mei!"

Liu Ruxuan sat up: "Big brother, what brings you here?"

"Of course I came to see my Xuan-mei!" Liu Wenhao always had that doting expression when he saw Liu Ruxuan, and then sat down next to her.

"I should be the one visiting my older brother." Liu Ruxuan was a little embarrassed. Although he wasn't her biological older brother, he had always been very kind to her. He was leaving soon, and instead of visiting him, she, as his younger sister, had him come to see her.

"Do we have to be so formal between us? It's all the same to everyone else." Liu Wenhao smiled.

Liu Ruxuan was also infected by the smile and said, "Big brother is right. Sister Xuan is too polite. I won't do it again."
