The Rich and Powerful Chang An Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Chunyu and Dongxue slept in the same room. It was not known whether it was Chunyu who slept too soundly or Dongxue's movement was too careful, but last night, when Dongxue returned, Chunyu did not notice. This morning, when Chunyu woke up, Dongxue was sitting beside the bed, lost in her mind. She had already dressed in the early morning. No, she looked more like having a sleepless night, with dry lips and a dark, blue face.

“Dongxue, you… Um, why? You have climbed Wang Ye's bed, so what are you doing in this servant room of mine? Don't tell me, last night you did not serve Wang Ye to his satisfaction, so Wang Ye didn't give you a status, and didn't give you a separate courtyard?" Looking at Dongxue's appearance, Chunyu's heart ached. But when she thought of last night's event, she was no longer feeling heartache, only full of anger.

“Chunyu, I… forget it. Think whatever you want.” Chunyu had woken up, Dongxue looked at the sky outside. No longer saying anything to Chunyu, Dongxue stoodd up and walked out. However, she had just walked away within two steps, and was stopped by Chunyu.

“Stop! Where are you going?”

“I'll wait for young master to get up.”

“No need! Young master's yatou is me not you. My young master does not need you to serve him. You have your Yiniang's responsibility! If you want to wait for young master, come with the two personal maids.” Chunyu looked excited, but despite her words making Dongxue sad, Dongxue could not go anywhere herself. Although her pair of hands kept wiping tears, she stubbornly did not cry out.

This was the Dongxue that grew up with her! They grew up together since childhood and at the beginning, they said that they would accompany young master no matter in good or worse, but now, how could they become like this? She never thought she would say those vicious words to Dongxue.

Thinking that even she herself was so sad, then how sad would her young master be in? Chunyu did not have the heart to waste time here, she got up quickly to go to her young master's side.

Quickly, Chunyu got up and randomly tidied up herself, then hurried to the wing room. But when she went there, it was empty. She thought that her young master had woken up, and she blamed herself for oversleeping, knowing that young master would not be able to sleep last night.

Naturally, Chunyu did not overslept, she even got up early. So when she did not find her own young master in the wing room, she went looking at the main courtyard's front, rear, inside and outside repeatedly, still there was no shadow of her young master, she wondered.

“It's not going to be…” Impossible! She sent her young master to the wing room last night, and Wang Ye stayed with Dongxue. How could young master be in the principal room?

“Chunyu Jiejie, should we go in to serve Wang Fei when he woke up?”

“… Let's go.” In her heart, it was impossible, but at present, besides the principal room, Chunyu did not know where her young master would be.

Xu Chang An woke up early. He didn't sleep for a while last night. Because he coughed badly near daybreak, and for fear of waking Xiao Qing Yan, he had thought of going out of bed, even though he knew he had woken Xiao Qing Yan. He thought he would be scolded, but instead of being scolded, Xiao Qing Yan even got up and gave him a glass of water. After drinking the water from the glass, Xu Chang An fell asleep again, but Xiao Qing Yan got up and left directly. Last night, he did not sleep almost for a whole night, and when Xu Chang An saw that Xiao Qing Yan had gotten up, he also got up. He was anxious to see Dongxue, and also he did not know if Chunyu, that girl had make trouble for her last night after she returned to their room.

When Chunyu came in, Xu Chang An had changed his clothes. She saw that her young master actually was here, last night he was really resting here. Chunyu couldn't figure it out, but she did not think too much of it, she smiled directly and hurried to her young master's side.

“Wang Fei, you were last night….” The young master would not come here by himself. It must be Wang Ye who asked young master to come. That's great. It seemed that Wang Ye still thought highly of her young master and would not make things difficult for him regardless of the rules. However, last night was the fifteenth, since Wang Ye had come over, it's natural to sleep with young master in the same place.

“Chunyu, leave another to serve me. You go call Dongxue, I have something to say to her.”

“Wang Fei, why are you calling her, it's enough to have nubi serving you.” Originally, Chunyu was still happy, but when her young master's words were exported, she could not smile. She was not comfortable with seeing Dongxue right now. She just did not get it, her young master also saw what Dongxue did, and this morning had not seen her did not come to serve.

“I told you to go, hurry up.”

“Wang Fei…”

“Go quickly.”

“Yes…. Nubi is going." As soon as Chunyu went out of the room, she immediately pulled her face down. She really did not understand why her young master wanted to see Dongxue. What's the good of meeting her, she would only make the young master sad.

Dongxue had been hesitant to come to serve, she was just afraid of being scolded and also afraid of giving up halfway, since Wang Ye had that meaning last night, then… That would be sooner or later.

Soon after washing his face and hands, Xu Chang An let all the yatous around him withdrawn. When Chunyu brought in Dongxue, there was only Xu Chang An in the room.

“Young master…”

“Dongxue, come over.” Xu Chang An sat on the round stool in the middle of the room. Two girls stood at the front door, back against the door. After Xu Chang An called Dongxue to come over, Chunyu instead came several steps ahead of Dongxue to Xu Chang An's side, with a manner of the mistress to the big Yahuan, looking up at Dongxue who was coming slowly, with a look of….. Contempt?

“Sigh, you go out first.” Xu Chang An knew that these two girls' temperaments were totally even extreme. Chunyu could not hide things in her hearts, she spoke and done things carelessly, meanwhile Dongxue usually did not speak much, but she thought carefully. Now that Chunyu was like this, he did not know how sad Dongxue was.

“Young master, me?” Chunyu had never thought that her young master would made her to go out, but young master called Donxue to come over, and not said a word had been spoken to her, he would not made her go again, right? Did young man tell her to go out?

“Hm, you go out first.” With this noisy girl here, how could he talk properly to Dongxue? “Young Master…”

“Enough, go out first. Go prepare breakfast for me."

“Yes, nubi understands.”

After Chunyu left, there were only Xu Chang An and Dong Xue in the room. Dongxue was always a person of indignant temperament, and now she just knelt down to Xu Chang An.

“Dongxue, you stand up first.” After a lot of thinking, Xu Chang An could only think of a reason. He was clear about Dongxue's temper, if he did not see the wrong person, his guessed should not be wrong.

“Dongxue, did you… Want to solve the problem for me?” Xu Chang An vaguely remembered that when they first came to Wang Residence, Yang Momo had mentioned about it, but he refused it immediately and never thought about it again.

After the Cefei moved in, the both of them were not pleasing to Xiao Qing Yan, this matter seemed not so important, but now that Wang Residence had welcome that Nanxi…

Since they arrived at Wang Residence, it had been smooth sailing, but that Nanxi had just arrived at Wang Residence only a few days ago, and he was punished by Xiao Qing Yan. Dongxue should be anxious because of this.

“Young Master…” Somehow, Dongxue could believe, looking up at her young master, she really did not think that young master could think of this reason. She grew up with Chunyu from childhood, and she had been living with Chunyu day and night for so many years, but Chunyu thought she wanted to cling to power and live a good life. How did young master think of this?

“Oh, I knew it would be like this.” Dongxue did not answer, but her expression had clearly told Xu Chang An about everything.

Xu Chang An stood to help the person get up and said again: “You silly girl. Don't you know that whether a person able or not to have a firm foothold in a residence, or have a smooth and steady lifetime, it would never depends on whether she/he has children or not.

My mother married father and had me. She was both a formal wife and had borne the legitimate heir. But what were the days of her life these years? Even in Wang Residence here is the same. If Wang Ye really likes a woman, like to be willing to disregard the established rules and etiquette for her, then it would be useless to have children under me even if I have the position of Wang Fei. The title of Wang Fei can be abolished even if the children can be adopted from others. Besides, where do I get the children?"

“There is!” Why not? Dongxue had planned for a long time in her heart. If she had the privilege of conceiving Wang Ye's child and waited for then months of pregnancy and then gave birth, she would hand the child over to her young master. If worse comes to worse, she would end her life after all the problem has been solve! Without a mother of its own, her child would be young master's child.

“Sigh, I don't care whatever you thought, put all those thoughts away. Not to mention the possibility, but if my half life is free from worry in exchange for your lifetime happiness, do you think I'll truly be 'carefree'? Dongxue, we are master and servant in name, but I regard you as relatives. We have come together in misfortune and fortune. You all are not a tool for me to fight for power, do you know?" Rejoiced and at that same a little afraid, Xu Chang An, after the event thought if yesterday Xiao Qing Yan really wanted to harvest Dongxue, then this silly girl's life would have no end.

“Young Master…”    “Well, do whatever you want to do. I also don't know why Wang Ye had said that last night, but you can rest assured that I don't agree with this plan. Wang Ye told me he didn't have that kind of thought." Dongxue heard it clear as the day, did he have to answer it himself?

“Young Master?” Last night, he was together with Wang Ye?

“You can rest assured. It's all right.” Xiao Qing Yan's attitude toward Nanxi in front of the whole residence and in front of him was completely different. It seemed that he should have some purpose to act like that. Then, he would not expose Xiao Qing Yan, let's just cooperate with him.

Chunyu prepared for Xu Chang An's breakfast. When she came in again, she saw Dongxue with red eyes, but she didn't look sad at all. She didn't know what was going on, she thought that Dongxue was scolded by young master, and so she felt better.

“Wang Fei, it's time to go out for breakfast.”

“I know. Dongxue, you and Chunyu also go to have breakfast. By the way, explain to her clearly about last night." Xu Chang An knew that Dongxue's decision was really for his own good, but Chunyu simply wouldn't think of such, what she would think of was that Dongxue would not keep her duty while hitting a person who was down, and she would grab the favor of Wang Ye to herself.

“Yes, Wang Fei.”

“Let's go out.” The look on Chunyu's face was still a little unhappy, but this time he did not say anything, after all, the two were sisters so many years. Although Chunyu had a stubborn mouth, in fact, she still wanted to know why last night Dongxue wanted to do that kind of thing.
