Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

1486 Age Was A Touchy Topic With Long Yang

However, he had just sat on his bed when he heard a creak from the window as it was pushed open.

Chu Qi’s cold eyes glared sharply toward it.

“Lil Qi, I’m coming in since you didn’t close your window.” Ji’er dropped onto the floor and winked cheekily at him. She pointed at the plates on the table. “I’ll leave after clearing those.”

Chu Qi felt his head pound when he saw that she had come in.

“The servants can clear it up later. You don’t need to do this.”

Ji’er replied seriously, “I’m the servant right now. I’m your personal maidservant. It’s what I should be doing.”

Chu Qi frowned, disagreeing with her statement.

She was a princess. Why should she insist on being a maidservant?

“I have no lack of help here. I don’t need you to be my maidservant.” His tone was cold as he attempted to make her back off.

“It’s because of you that I’m here as a maidservant.” Ji’er knew he was being cold on purpose, which was why she was not bothered by his tone. She walked toward the table and began clearing it up. “Don’t worry. I’ll leave after I’m done. I won’t disturb your rest.”

Chu Qi got even more frustrated when he saw her refusing to give in.

However, when he saw her fumbling about trying to clean the table, he got worried that she would hurt herself again, so he rushed to her and pressed her hands down. “Sit down. I’ll do it.”

“How could I let you clear the table? You’re still hurt…”

“Your finger is hurt too. Be good and sit down.” Chu Qi emphasized the words with a stern look on his face, giving her no room to argue.

Ji’er had no choice but to give up and watch him clear the table while she stood at the side.

Chu Qi removed all the plates in a clean move and put them all on the tray. He looked at Ji’er and said, “Now, can you leave?”

“I’ll leave right now.” Ji’er took the tray and left as promised.

When Chu Qi saw her trying to leave through the window again, he pinched his eyebrows and pushed the door open. “You can leave through the door.”

It was only then that Ji’er realized what she was doing. She gave him a silly smile and walked past him to leave.

Chu Qi was finally relieved as the room returned to its usual state of peace and quiet.

He gave it some thought and summoned Steward Chen over.

“What is the princess doing in the mansion?”

Steward Chen replied respectfully, “The princess says she is here to take special care of you under Her Highness’s decree.” However, in his heart, Steward Chen was mumbling about how the general still did not notice that the little princess had her heart set on him.

Chu Qi frowned when he heard this.

When did Her Highness begin to have a hand in this?

No wonder Ji’er was so casual about the way she was dressed.

“What else do you need from me, General?” Steward Chen quickly asked when he saw the general looking grim.

“Nothing. You may leave.”

“Yes, General.”

After Steward Chen left, Chu Qi sat contemplating at the side of his bed. He decided it was best to leave as soon as possible.

Based on how Ji’er was acting, she would probably not be returning to the Palace. With Her Highness supporting her, Ji’er would only get even more brazen from now on.

If this continued, he was not confident he could maintain his current adamance.

The Palace.

Long Yang was still upset about Ji’er going to the South Conquering General Mansion.

Even though he knew very well what kind of man Lil Qi was, he was still not pleased with his daughter chasing after a man all the way to his house.

Lu Liangwei walked in to see Long Yang looking troubled and immediately knew what was he worried about.

She poured a cup of tea for him and consoled him, “Don’t worry. Aren’t you the one who knows best what kind of person Lil Qi is? Nothing is going to happen.”

Long Yang frowned at her. “Ji’er is still young. How could you indulge her like that?”

Lu Liangwei could tell how unhappy he was from his tone, but she did not mind. She sat down next to him. “Ji’er has always been a stubborn child. The more you try to stop her, the more she will go against you. She likes Lil Qi and there’s nothing wrong with it. Let her fight for what she wants. If she does her best and still ends up failing, she should give up on him. When that time comes, there is nothing she can say about it.”
