Zhou Huailing pressed down his anger instantly.

He looked annoyed, but did nothing more.

He was the Crown Prince, the son of the King, who was respected and flattered by so many people both in and out of the court. Even those people from the noble family would not dare speak to him loudly. Even when he was just a disgraced Lord Ling in the past, no servants dared to treat him like this. This was the first time for him to be treated in this way by a servant and it was here at the Pear Yard!

That was why he was so angry. He wished that he could chop the maid into pieces, but what Junyi reminded him of woke him up. He was angry but he could not irritate the Phoenix Girl because of such a tiny matter.

What he needed to do right now was to win the Phoenix Girl’s heart. When he took the throne, he could do anything to this low-class servant. He did not have to do this right now, since it might cause him more losses.

So he was much calmer now.

He forced a stiff smile, saying, “Lady Chaoyan, I was too impulsive. I was thinking that this servant was disrespecting me, the Crown Prince, so she will cause you too much trouble in the future. I wanted to get her away for your sake, but that is out of my concern right now. You can do whatever you want with her, and I will stay out of it.”

“…”

“Sorry for my misbehavior.”

“…”

“I heard from the housekeeper that you are not feeling well. So I am here to check on you, and I…” Zhou Huailing said with a smile, flattering her constantly.

Before he was able to finish his words… the inner chamber door of the Pear Yard was opened and Zhou Huaijin, dressed in a white robe walked out, frowning and saying, “Chaoyan, what is going on out there for you to be away for so long.”

Having asked Gu Chaoyan about that, Zhou Huaijin lowered his head and nodded at Zhou Huailing. “Crown Prince, hi.”

That was his way of greeting him.

Zhou Huailing’s eyes widened when he saw Zhou Huaijin’s silhouette. His face sank.

He was here to visit the girl and yet his Eighth Brother was walking out of the inner chamber?

Zhou Huailing felt that his girl had been stolen away, so he asked in a very annoyed tone, “What are you doing here?”

He sounded as if Zhou Huaijin had invaded the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

“Chaoyan is not feeling well, so I am here to visit her. We heard some noise from the inner chamber, but didn’t expect that it was you.” Zhou Huaijin answered briefly.

“I will get imperial doctors to check on her, what are you here for?!” Zhou Huailing interrogated as if Zhou Huaijin had done something he should not have.

Zhou Huaijin frowned too. He threw a cold look at him. “Chaoyan is engaged to me, and I of course should come and visit her. What is wrong with that, Crown Prince?”

They glared into each other’s eyes, looking really vicious.

Zhou Huailing sneered.

Engaged to him? He would have forgotten about this if not for his reminder.

His Eighth Brother was really stupid, wasn’t he?

Gu Chaoyan was the Phoenix Girl and in their father’s eyes, she should marry him, the Crown Prince!
