Chapter 82
"Eldest Young Miss, you are clever and quick-witted . As someone fully dressed in a servant's attire and carrying Prince Hao's clothes, of course I am someone who serves Prince Hao . " Su Xi-er felt that this woman was someone overly persistent . If I don't explain clearly, she will definitely pester me without end .

"You are a maidservant waiting upon Prince Hao, his personal maidservant, and in the future you will be…" The words 'room concubine servant' were stuck in the woman's throat . Her mood gradually fluctuated and jealousy flashed in her eyes .
Su Xi-er sensed the change in the expression in the woman's eyes . She has definitely misunderstood the relations . h . i . +p between Prince Hao and I . However, Su Xi-er wasn't willing to explain . The innocent have no need to justify themselves . Besides, this woman has already fallen prey to Prince Hao's charms . Anything else I say would be useless .
The woman walked towards Su Xi-er step by step, her eyes never leaving the clothes in Su Xi-er's hand .
When the woman stopped before Su Xi-er, she suddenly laughed . "Beauty, I'm Shui Yinglian, but you can just call me Lian-er . Can you secretly give this piece of clothing to me to wash?"

Su Xi-er shook her head and flatly refused . "Prince Hao has ordered this servant to wash it . If he finds out that you have washed it instead, both you and I will have to lose our heads . This servant's life is worthless, so it's not a pity even if I die . However, Eldest Young Miss, how are you going to face His Excellency County Magistrate if you implicate the whole Shui Residence?"
"You . . . why do you have so many arguments? It's just was . h . i . +ng a piece of clothing . If even I am unafraid, what do you have to be scared of? Quickly give it to me . " Shui Yinglian was getting anxious . She reached out her hand in an attempt to s . n . a . t . c . h the clothes in Su Xi-er's hand .
Su Xi-er deftly moved the clothes behind her back, speaking more forcefully, "Eldest Young Miss, now is not the time to let your emotions affect your decisions . Each and every one of your actions is linked with the whole Shui Residence, including the numerous maidservants standing beside you . With just one slip-up, all of them may have to accompany you in losing their lives . "
When all the maidservants heard the words 'lose their lives' they were terribly frightened . Every one of them gazed at Shui Yinglian nervously . If by any chance the Eldest Young Miss does something bad, the Shui Residence will be done for!

Shui Yinglian's complexion immediately became grim . She wasn't a person with malicious intentions . As long as the person she admired didn't have conflicting interests with her, she would sincerely treat them well .
For the beauty in front of her, Shui Yinglian had gotten a good first impression in the palace hall . But after finding out that she was Prince Hao's personal maidservant and possibly his room concubine servant, she felt increasingly uncomfortable the more she looked at her .
Shui Yinglian pursed her lips and lowered her voice, "I don't want to make a big deal out of the matter . Since Prince Hao has a . s . signed you to wash them, I won't fight over it with you anymore . However, tell me truthfully, are you Prince Hao's room concubine servant?"

Su Xi-er looked at her . What does her brain contain? Does she think that all women are like her, completely intoxicated by Pei Qianhao's handsome visage?
"I'm an ordinary maidservant who does some odd jobs . "
Shui Yinglian released a sigh of relief as her eyes brightened up . "Was every word of yours the truth?"
Su Xi-er nodded . "There is no need to deceive you . "
"Very well . " Shui Yinglian laughed again, now speaking with traces of cheerfulness . "Is it okay for me to watch you wash? In the future, I'll look at you no matter what you do . "
At that moment, Lord County Magistrate's voice sounded . "You're simply acting willfully! Servants, lock the young miss up . She is forbidden from coming out before Prince Hao leaves!"
"Obeying your orders, Your Excellency . " Two imperial guards immediately went to Shui Yinglian .
Knowing that she was unable to win against them, Shui Yinglian backed down temporarily and followed the imperial guards to bring her along .
However, when Shui Yinglian left, she purposely winked at Su Xi-er .
Lord County Magistrate walked to Su Xi-er's side . When he saw Prince Hao's clothes in her hand, his att . i . tude was much more respectful . "Were you planning to look for a basin?"
