Chapter 287: Etiquette
A Xuan was the maid that Gao Siwen brought back from outside last year. Normally this was against palace rules, but the old emperor always doted on his daughter, so she just acted coquettishly and the matter was settled.
To put it bluntly, the reason why he fell in love with a girl from the slums as a maid was that he wanted to know more about Luo Yaosen.
But A Xuan had always said that she and Luo Yaosen lived on the same street, but she never said that she knew him. She didn't think much about it. After all, when Luo Yaosen left the slums, A Xuan was not yet born, so it was normal that the two had no intersection.
Ah Xuan's face turned pale. She defended herself, "We really don't know each other. I can only count the number of times I've seen him on one hand."
"But you did deliberately conceal it, didn't you?" Gao Siwen said coldly, "You never said that you took care of his mother."
A Xuan pursed her lips and said, "Like I said, his mother is not in good health, and the kids on the street would lend a hand to take care of her from time to time, and I was one of them."
Humph.
Are you trying to play the trick of avoiding the main issue with her?
Gao Siwen simply said: "I don't care how many truths you say, just get out of here, I don't want to see you again."
"What do you mean?" A Xuan was stunned.
"What it means is that you are fired. Go back to the slums!" Gao Siwen said bluntly.
After saying that, she turned around and left.
After Ah Xuan realized what was happening, she quickly chased after her, grabbed her hand and said, "You can't do this! My household registration has been moved out of the slums, you can't chase me away! And a lot of my things are in Zidu, I can't just go back to the slums like this!"
"Why should I care about you?" Gao Siwen shook her off and sneered, "You just moved your household registration out of the slums, but your household registration is in the palace. Now that you are no longer a palace maid, your household registration will naturally be moved back. As for your things...which of your things is not a reward from me?"
"This princess regrets this and wants to take those things back!"
Ah Xuan was struck by lightning and grabbed Gao Siwen even harder, her expression frightened and ferocious, "You can't do this to me! Why do you do this to me?"
"Just because you lied to me and tried to use me!" Gao Siwen stretched out her hand to pry her fingers apart. "I'm already being nice by sparing your life!"
Realizing that she was serious, A Xuan quickly showed weakness and said, "Princess, I didn't lie to you, nor did I use you. I didn't think of stepping on you to get to the top. The Queen said that we maids will all be concubines of the prince consort in the future. I think Luo Ge is the best match for you, Princess, so I want to try my best to bring you together and use our past friendship to build a relationship with him."
Huh...do you really think she's a fool?
"Qiu Xuan, you really disgust me." Gao Siwen slapped him and said coldly: "Didn't you notice? You have never used honorifics to Luo Yaosen."
what?
Please stop Axuan from being stunned.
Gao Siwen bent down to look at her. "You always called me you, even when I said I was going to fire you. But you always called Luo Yaosen you."
"Because in your eyes, I am higher than you, but Luo Yaosen is your equal."
"To put it bluntly. Just because Luo Yaosen was born in the slums, you look down on him even though he has such a status and position now."
"How funny! I, who come from a better background, don't look down on him, but you, who have the same status as him, look down on him."
Qiu Axuan's face turned pale, "No, I'm just used to using honorifics to you."
Gao Siwen snorted coldly, "If you want to deceive yourself, it's up to you."
When Liang Sanzhang ran over, he saw a master and a servant arguing.
Gao Siwen also felt a little regretful. She should not have quarreled with her here. She only brought Qiu Axuan, a maid, with her this time, but now she couldn't find anyone to help her.
This Qiu Axuan looked thin, but she was very strong and she couldn't break free from her at all.
"Qiu Axuan, don't you want your head anymore?" After getting closer, Liang Sanzhang saw clearly that Qiu Axuan was actually holding Gao Siwen's hand and wouldn't let go. He shouted with a sullen face.
It doesn't matter about other people, but for Qiu Xuan, a maid who came from the slums, who did such a thing as disobeying her superiors, no one would say a word to her even if she was beaten to death.
Qiu Axuan was startled and subconsciously let go of her hand.
"Uncle!" Gao Siwen breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to Liang Sanzhang.
Liang Sanzhang glanced at Qiu Axuan calmly and said, "You step back first!"
Qiu Axuan hesitated for a long time, but finally backed off.
"Uncle, don't you know this? Ask Axuan..." As soon as she left, Gao Siwen immediately complained.
However, before she could finish, Liang Sanzhang interrupted her and said, "Get dressed and come with me into the banquet hall as my dance partner."
"What?" Gao Siwen's eyes widened. "He...you want me to be embarrassed?"
"You don't have to be embarrassed if you don't go, but your future is also gone." Liang San said with a straight face: "Your presence in Jindong cannot be concealed. But I see that Luo Yaosen is deeply in love with Princess Hengyang, and it is impossible for him to give up on her and marry you. In this case, you must do your best to restore your reputation. You can't just not marry Luo Yaosen and never get married in this life, right?"
"This is impossible."
"Princess, you know that His Majesty is old and can't protect you forever. You have to find a backer before that day comes. If you don't get married before that day comes, the man you are worthy of now will never be worthy of you in the future."
"Besides, if you can avoid offending someone like Luo Yaosen, then don't offend him."
"Follow me and go in and apologize to them. If you follow their manners, they won't come out of their way to punish you in the future."
Gao Siwen was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "I understand."
On the other side, seeing that Luo Yaosen had discovered it, Ge Fu simply stopped pretending and asked, "You really don't want to know?"
"What?" Luo Yaosen was stunned.
"It's your mother..."
Luo Yaosen sneered, "My mother didn't die suddenly. She has been ill for several years. If she wanted to tell me something, she would have told me a long time ago. There is no need for an outsider to tell me."
That's it.
Ge Fu didn't expect him to be so decisive.
"Not sleeping anymore?" Luo Yaosen asked.
Ge Fu shook her head and said, "I'm too tired to sleep after walking." In fact, she was still tired, but the environment was not suitable for continuing to sleep.
Luo Yaosen knew that he was probably feeling unwell at the moment, so he didn't ask her to get up, but just sat with her on the bay window.
He said, rubbing her waist with his hand and whispering in her ear, "Let's stay for another half an hour and then leave."
"Is it okay?" Ge Fu was a little tempted, but...
"As the host, wouldn't it be bad for you to leave early?"
"It's okay." Luo Yaosen said: "The rules of Jinglong are different from those of Hengyang. Here, as long as you are strong enough, you can do anything."
