Consort of a Thousand Faces

she placed the folded quilt at the foot of the bed.

Pei Qianhao saw her extremely deferential behaviour and coldly instructed, ”Get out and quickly bring the hot water here. ”

Su Xi-er was long used to his ice-cold appearance.
It ’s fine as long as he doesn ’t oppress me and intentionally get close to me.

Su Xi-er bowed to him before retreating out of the inner chamber.

After she left, the door curtain swayed gently before coming to a stop, leaving Pei Qianhao to stare at it with a pensive expression.

She must have been hurt before to be so antipathetic to men.
A girl will only be hurt by love when she begins to understand it.

When this thought crossed his mind, Pei Qianhao ’s eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly.

In an instant, the expression in Shui Yinglian ’s eyes changed.
She even claimed that she ’s an ordinary maidservant.
She ’s evidently a room concubine servant!

Despite detecting the changes in Shui Yinglian ’s expression, Su Xi-er had no time to waste on her, simply stating in a chilly manner, ”Prince Hao wants hot water.
I have no time to spend on you. ”
