Shengjing Noble

Chapter 289 Show mercy

"What did you say? Handsome? Gentle and elegant? Are you blind?" Fu Wuyang suspected that there was something wrong with her eyes.

Su Lanyin sneered and continued, "My Lord, are you jealous of Mr. Kang?"

"Why is this prince jealous of him?"

"Of course I'm jealous of Mr. Kang's handsome and charming appearance!"

"Why, my appearance cannot compare to his?"

Su Lanyin looked him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, then pouted and shook her head with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Your Majesty, tell me the truth, don't you usually look in the mirror?"

Hearing this, Fu Wuyang felt a surge of anger in his heart. He stared at her and asked, "What do you mean? Are you trying to humiliate me?"

"I dare not, I dare not!" Su Lanyin shook her head repeatedly.

"Then why do you say that I don't look in the mirror? Why, in your eyes, I am so ugly?"

"He is not ugly. On the contrary, he is handsome and cool."

Fu Wuyang's angry expression immediately relaxed when he heard her praise, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an arc that was difficult to suppress.

“Is that so? I don’t really care about my appearance…”

"But." Su Lanyin changed the subject before he could finish, "Your Majesty, you really should look in the mirror more often. Why do you always frown, as if everyone owes you a hundred taels of silver?"

Fu Wuyang: "..."

This damn girl did it on purpose, right?

He gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to push her to the ground.

"It seems that I have been too lenient with you recently, and you can no longer tell who is the master and who is the servant!"

"Maid?" Su Lanyin was stunned for a moment and looked at him in confusion.

Fu Wuyang lifted her chin, curled his lips and said, "You just said in front of me that you are my personal maid. Did you forget it so quickly?"

"Didn't I just say my identity for the sake of confidentiality? Otherwise, I can't say that I'm your daughter, right?"

"My daughter... am I that old?"

Su Lanyin frowned: "If you were born a few years later, you might have given birth to me."

"You..." Fu Wuyang was angry and took a deep breath before continuing, "Okay, since you said so, from today on you will be my personal maid!"

"There's no need to be so close, right?" She looked reluctant.

"What? Do you want your true identity to be discovered? It would be troublesome if assassins were to come."

"I...I understand. It's all up to the prince's orders."

"very good."

Fu Wuyang let her go and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. As if he had thought of something, he turned around and said, "I am tired. Go prepare some water for me to take a bath."

"What are you washing in broad daylight?"

"You dare to question what the king said?"

"Then why did the Kang family let me prepare when they have so many servants?"

"Aren't you my personal maid? I'm naturally not used to being served by others."

"Then why are you so used to it, since I've never served you before?"

"We have been together day and night these days, so I am naturally used to it. Do you want to go?"

"I'm tired too!"

"If you don't want to go, then fine. Master Kang is my connection. If you want to go back to the capital, go on your own and you are not allowed to stay here!"

"You...why are you like this?" Su Lanyin was really furious. This King Xiaoyao was clearly a petty-minded man!

"It's no use not to accept it. I have the final say here."

"Humph, isn't it just bath water? I'll go prepare it!"

After saying that, Su Lan turned around and walked out the door angrily, still unable to help muttering to herself.

"A stingy person drinks cold water and makes things difficult for others. It would be better for him to drown in the bathtub..."

After fetching the water, she went to the stove to boil water, then sat in front of the bellows and pulled the bellows while cursing Fu Wuyang. She was so focused on cursing that she didn't notice someone approaching behind her.

Until a hand suddenly fell on her shoulder, and she was so scared that she stood up reflexively and threw herself over her shoulder.

"what!"

Kang Chenxi's screams echoed throughout the kitchen, attracting a group of servants.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

When everyone crowded into the small kitchen, they saw Su Lanyin still in the over-the-shoulder-falling position, while Kang Chenxi was lying in a pile of firewood in a mess, with a hideous and painful expression on his face.

"Uh……"

Finally reacting, Su Lanyin was surprised and ashamed. She quickly bent down to help Kang Chenxi and apologized quickly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kang, I really didn't know it was you. I've been too sensitive recently. I always felt that someone was chasing me, so I subconsciously over-defended myself."

After hearing his explanation, Kang Chenxi did not blame her. He just endured the pain, grabbed her arm and barely stood up, while keeping one hand on his waist.

"It's okay, you all can go down."

When everyone saw this, they just thought that it was their young master teasing the girl again, and they looked as if they were used to it, then dispersed.

There were only two people left in the small kitchen, and Su Lanyin helped him walk to a stool nearby and sit down.

"Are you okay? Fortunately, I didn't use too much force, otherwise your arm would be broken." She looked at him worriedly.

"Then should I thank Miss Su for showing mercy?" Kang Chenxi had a look of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Hehe... I'm sorry." Su Lanyin smiled sheepishly, then took out a bottle of ointment from her arms, "Did you fall and hurt your waist? This ointment is specially used to treat injuries from falls. Apply it and rub it before going to bed at night, and you will be almost recovered by tomorrow."

Kang Chenxi took the small medicine bottle she handed over with some curiosity, and couldn't help asking, "Is it really that magical? Normally, injuries from falls require at least ten days to half a month of rest."

"It's not magical, but it's better than ordinary ointments in promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and relieving pain."

“Where did you buy it?”

"I made this myself. You can't buy it outside."

"You also know medicine?" Kang Chenxi looked at her with curiosity. He only remembered that the girl in front of him was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at her.

"I know a little bit." Su Lanyin nodded with a smile, and did not tell him other things, such as that she was the apprentice of Doctor Xue.

"I'll use it tonight. If it's really that effective, why don't you sell me the formula? I'll share the profit with you when I make it."

He is a businessman at heart, and even when he is chatting with a girl, he can't help but think about business matters.

Su Lanyin declined: "No need, I'm not short of money, and this medicine is my master's exclusive formula, I will never sell it."

"How can there be people in this world who don't need money? Who would complain about having too much money? Think about it, this is really a good business opportunity."

She smiled awkwardly. Everyone in the world is short of money except their Lu family. Although the Kang family is also considered wealthy, it is still far behind her grandfather, the richest man in Quanzhou.

What's more, Doctor Xue's exclusive formula is priceless. Even if it is sold outside, I'm afraid the Kang family can't afford it.

"Really, that's not necessary. By the way, Mr. Kang, are you here to see me? What's the matter?"
