Chapter 1821: Chapter 1759: He Family Maiden
The little maid changed into clean, refreshing clothes, washed her face anew, and came before Wufu.
"Oh, she’s a pretty girl indeed." Wufu looked her over, pointing to a nearby stool: "Sit down."
The little maid sat timidly, and Wufu pointed to the green bean soup nearby: "It’s very hot weather. This green bean soup has been chilled. Have a sip to cool off. Such a pretty girl, wouldn’t want you overheated."
Purple Jade stood beside Wufu, a slight smile playing at her lips, thinking that the lady’s demeanor was like a big bad wolf charming a little lamb.
The little maid glanced at the green bean soup and the freshly washed fruits still glistening with drops of water, swallowed, and picked up the bowl of green bean soup for a sip.
The ice-cold, sweet juice slipped down her throat, as if the heat had dissipated, making her entire body comfortable.
"Is the sweetness adequate for you? If not, let Purple Jade add another spoonful of sugar," Wufu joked. "By the way, I still don’t know your name."
The little maid licked her lips and looked at Wufu, saying, "I, I’m called Xiao Ya."
"Xiao Ya, such a lovely name!"
Upon hearing the praise, Xiao Ya smiled and looked at Wufu: "You, they say you are Her Royal Highness the Princess Consort, is that right?"
Wufu smiled slyly: "What do you think? Earlier, you mentioned face reading. Do you think my features resemble those of the Princess Consort?"
She deliberately steered the conversation towards face reading, but Xiao Ya seriously examined her features and said: "Your facial features are extraordinary, there’s noble aura between your brows; your eyes are clear and brilliant..."
Wufu saw her pause, asking, "Why did you stop?"
"You possess righteousness, yet you must be wary of villains plotting against you. In the coming years, a major disaster awaits you..."
"Silence!" Purple Jade rebuked loudly: "Where did this charlatan come from, learning to speak nonsense at such a tender age? How dare you curse Her Royal Highness the Princess Consort?"
Not even knowing her birthdate, yet daring to proclaim Wufu’s impending disaster, this isn’t speaking nonsense?
Xiao Ya, frightened by Purple Jade, turned pale, trembling as she said: "I, I’m merely deducing from her features."
"Seems these days you’ve had us fooled by this obedient demeanor." Purple Jade kneeled to Wufu, saying: "Princess Consort, this maid will take her down for handling."
"I haven’t, I’m truly not making things up. Whether accurate or not, I only see it from her features." Xiao Ya was scared to tears.
Purple Jade was about to speak further, but Wufu stopped her, saying: "Enough, why frighten the little girl! As the saying goes, a fortune teller will trick you for ten or eight years yet be correct sometimes. Whether you believe it or not, it’s up to oneself."
"Princess Consort..." Purple Jade disagreed. Regardless of whether this wretched girl is correct, uttering such words leaves people feeling uneasy. Even if disbelieved, it’s like sowing a seed in the heart, ready for recollection at any moment!
Wufu looked at Xiao Ya and said: "Unexpected that at such a young age, you can read faces. So, through this skill, you deduced that Young Master Zhou is actually me?"
Xiao Ya nodded: "Your features while dressed as a gentleman don’t align with your personal fortune; it’s an improbable visage, which made me boldly guess that you’re disguised."
"This little girl indeed has some sharp eyes, but what brings you to seek me out? How did you escape from the Marble Boat?"
"I haven’t sold myself there; I’m merely taking temporary refuge." Xiao Ya looked at Wufu, saying: "I see righteous aura thick between your brows, surely you’re a person of uprightness and integrity, so I came to try my luck. I, Princess Consort, my real name is He Mingya."
