Hearing Qi Rong mention Wushuang, Yun Xi's face darkened.
"Do you expect me to curry favor with you? Dream on!"
Immediately afterwards, Yun Xi pried up one of Qi Rong's little fingers, grasped it firmly, and forcefully bent it backward!
If he wanted her to move to the South Courtyard, she'd be more than happy to!
Qi Rong winced in pain and quickly let go of Yun Xi's hand. He stared at her in astonishment.
This girl finally knew how to use strength with skill, applying the self - defense techniques he had taught her. However, he never expected that she would use them against him!
Qi Rong felt both amused and helpless inside, but his face remained cold and stern.
"You don't have to curry favor with me, but don't forget that this is the Prince Xian's Mansion. Going against my will will only make it difficult for you to move an inch in this mansion."
Therefore, to prevent her from acting recklessly in the mansion, he needed to give her a warning in advance.
In the coming days, he would start to root out the hidden villains in the mansion. He didn't want her to get into trouble.
Not understanding Qi Rong's intentions, Yun Xi thought his words were a provocation!
Although it was true that "one has to bow one's head under the eaves", she had her own pride. How could she let Qi Rong manipulate her?
"Your Highness is absolutely right! Thanks to your reminder, I've just realized that I've been living too comfortably before."
Yun Xi sneered with mockery in her eyes.
At this moment, she was absolutely certain:
Even if she turned the entire mansion upside down and made it a living hell, she would definitely break free from the Prince Xian's Mansion!
Looking at the glint in Yun Xi's eyes, Qi Rong seemed to sense her thoughts. He frowned and said coldly,
"Don't think I don't know what's on your mind. As long as you behave yourself and do what you should, I won't let you suffer in this mansion."
"But if I find out that you deliberately do something to disgrace me or have an ambiguous relationship with other men, not only you but also everyone around you will not escape my punishment!"
Qi Rong was worried that, given Yun Xi's personality, she might do something astonishing.
Hearing Qi Rong's words, Yun Xi gave a half - smile.
"Your Highness, you've got the wrong idea. How could I be such a person? It's not just you who cares about your reputation. I also can't afford to lose face!"
Therefore, she would find another way to make Qi Rong drive her out of the mansion voluntarily!
This way, she wouldn't be so anxious and insecure because of being by Qi Rong's side. If she had no expectations, whether she was a wife or a concubine, she wouldn't be sad anymore!
Having made up her mind, Yun Xi immediately started to pack her things in the room, preparing to move to the South Courtyard later.
Watching Yun Xi bustling around, Qi Rong's eyes remained heavy. He wasn't as indifferent as he seemed on the surface.
Because he cared too much, he had to speed up his actions and clean up the entire mansion!
During this period, he had to be tough - hearted and let Yun Xi suffer a bit.
"Stop packing. Later I'll order someone to pack your things for you. You don't have much anyway."
Hearing Qi Rong's words, Yun Xi immediately stopped what she was doing and then walked towards the door, because she didn't want to stay in the same room with Qi Rong for a single moment!
But before she could step out of the room, Qi Rong called out to her again.
"Pour a glass of water for me. I'm thirsty."
Qi Rong's commanding tone made Yun Xi frown. She turned around and looked at him.
"If you want water, order someone else. I'm not your maid."
If he had asked nicely, she wouldn't have minded pouring water for him. But his arrogant attitude made her feel indignant.
She didn't owe him anything!
"But you're the only one in this room."
Qi Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Xi calmly.
Yun Xi glanced around and couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Not only was there no maid in the room, but there were also hardly any people in Qi Rong's entire courtyard. Especially after she came back, she only saw two guards at the courtyard gate.
"You have hands and feet. Can't you pour it yourself?"
After what had just happened, for some reason, she felt resentful towards Qi Rong and didn't want to talk to him at all.
"I do have hands and feet, but I just want to drink the water you pour. As my concubine, are you so aggrieved to pour a glass of water?"
Seeing that Yun Xi was deliberately sulking, Qi Rong deliberately argued with her. He hooked the corner of his lips and said slowly,
"If not, you don't have to go to the South Courtyard. Stay in the courtyard to serve me from now on. I won't ask you to pour water."
"You... Fine, I'll pour it!"
Yun Xi wanted to say "Don't go back on your word", but then she thought it was meaningless.
Then Yun Xi walked out of the inner room. After a while, she came in with a glass of water and held it out in front of Qi Rong.
"Here, your water!"
She turned her head to the side. Her attitude was extremely bad. Qi Rong didn't take the glass for a long time, and Yun Xi was getting impatient.
"Weren't you just complaining about being thirsty? Do you want me to feed you?"
As soon as Yun Xi said this, Qi Rong immediately nodded obediently.
"Sure."
"Don't push me too far!"
Yun Xi glared at him angrily. Qi Rong mimicked her usual tone and sneered,
"It's just feeding a glass of water. Do you have to be so stingy?"
Blocked by Qi Rong's words, Yun Xi felt the flames of anger rising in her heart.
She knew that if she continued to stalemate with Qi Rong like this, she might not be able to return to the South Courtyard to rest tonight.
A good woman knows when to yield. She pouted and then thrust the glass in front of Qi Rong. Qi Rong couldn't help but laugh.
"Do you want to wash my eyes?"
Because Yun Xi was sulking and not looking at him, she didn't notice that the glass was almost touching Qi Rong's eyes.
Yun Xi turned to look and blushed in embarrassment. She had to move the glass to Qi Rong's lips again.
"Drink."
"The water is too hot! Do you want to murder your husband?"
Looking at Yun Xi's angry face, Qi Rong's gloomy mood faded away, and he gradually felt happy.
"If I can murder you with a glass of hot water, I don't mind trying now!"
Yun Xi gritted her teeth. Finally, she blew on the water surface, but Qi Rong disliked that her blowing wasn't sincere enough, which almost made Yun Xi explode with anger.
Finally, after Qi Rong drank the water, in just a moment, he spat it out and even sprayed it all over her.
"Enough is enough!"
Yun Xi couldn't bear it anymore and was about to flare up when she saw Qi Rong cough again. There was a glaring scarlet bloodstain!
Her pupils constricted, and her heart tightened. She hurriedly threw away the teacup, stepped forward to support Qi Rong, and stared at him intently.
"You're really injured?!"
The smell of medicine she smelled just now wasn't an illusion!
"I'll go and call someone to invite the imperial physician from the palace now!"
Saying that, Yun Xi was about to walk out. Facing the nervous Yun Xi, Qi Rong immediately grabbed her wrist.
He raised his sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips and smiled faintly.
"Don't go. I've just been poisoned. I'll be fine soon. If you invite the imperial physician, my good reputation will be ruined!"
