With a plan on her mind, Jing Wu Chu quickly makes her way to Feng Ao Xiu. As she entered the room, her eyes inadvertently shot at Yang Xue Yi. Besides, Yang Xue Yi was Feng Ao Xiu, both were still fully clothed. Aware that nothing happened yet, Jing Wu Chu made a sigh of relief.
At the same moment, Feng Ao Xiu stared at the maid intensely as he folded his arms and ransacked his brain. He seemed to recognise her, but he could not remember when and where exactly.
"Please put at the scented candle at the table." Yang Xue Yi said.
"..."
However, the maid did not move to do her task and continued to tightly hold the scented candle within her palms, she did not respond to Yang Xue Yi"s order either. In fact, she continued to give an unpleasant glare as if she"s picking a fight.
"Ummm... You, the maid over there, do you hear me?"
"Hmmph..."
"!!!"
After being provoked like that, Yang Xue Yi could not help but creased her eyebrow. Today was supposed to be the best day of her life, but some unknown maid just ruined her day. In this kind of situation, how could she just keep being quiet?
"This lowly maid truly does not know the meaning of att.i.tude! What is your intention by purposely angering me?"
"What is my intention, you say" Jing Wu Chu said with a sneer. "Lady Xu... No, Xue Yi, you"re not suited for the Second Young Master!"
"Wha... How outrageous!" Yang Xue Yi was startled by the maid"s arrogance. "Apologise now or take the consequences!"
However, she"s not turning into Dark Xue Yi because it"s only words from a lowly maid. Compared with Feng Zhong Tian who used the same words, but she transformed herself since the Clan Lord"s words hold value and could threaten her wedding. Thus, she takes it as a joke and only demanded an apology.
"You can take my apology and shove it down your throat!"
However, even if the sky would fall and storm were coming her way, she would not even think to apologise. She looked at Feng Ao Xiu before she smiled. Yes, the reason she was not afraid was because of the man she thought she was destined with, Feng Ao Xiu. She believed Feng Ao Xiu would protect her from any harm, including Yang Xue Yi.
Jing Wu Chu continued, "The only one who deserved to be with the Second Young Master is me, Jing Wu Chu!"
[Ehh... Jing Wu Chu... Where did I hear that name before?] Feng Ao Xiu thought to himself. [Now, I"m convinced. I must have some kind of unfinished business with this maid... But what is it?]
"You... Suited to be with my husband? Don"t make me laugh!" said Yang Xue Yi.
"Hmmph... Laugh if you want! But the fact that I slept with your husband cannot be denied! I remember it clearly like it was yesterday...", said Jing Wu Chu. "About last week, the Second Young Master confessed to me. Then, he asked me to go out with him. I declined, but he insisted on it, so I have no choice but to accept. Later that night, He invited himself to my room. Without holding back, the Second Young Master ravaged me over and over again! I ask him to stop, but he wouldn"t let me go... While in bed, we repeatedly say our love for each other..."
"Stop spouting out lies!" Yang Xue Yi has become truly angry. Not only the maid not backing down, but she was also lying as if it were her achievement and rubbed it down in her face.
"Lies!? If you don"t believe me, why don"t you ask your husband?"
Of course, it"s a lie. Jing Wu Chu herself could not remember what happened that night as she was asleep. However, she just couldn"t help but fabricate the entire night according to her imagination.
"There"s no need! My husband would definitely not do that, at that time he already has me as a fiancée!" Yang Xue Yi said as she turned her attention to her husband "right?"
However, outside of her expectation, Feng Ao Xiu did not deny it. In fact, he repeatedly blinked his eyes, and cold sweats were running down his cheeks as a sign of guilt.
Jing Wu Chu"s story made his head hurts because of the sudden memories rushing back into his heads. Although Feng Ao Xiu could not remember all of it, he learned that he indeed into Jing Wu Chu"s room. However, from there on, the memories have become fuzzy. So, Feng Ao Xiu believed it must have happened as Jing Wu Chu described.
* Crack... *
"You... You did it!?"
It was Yang Xue Yi. Once again, her voice has become a bit different.

"What"s taking her so long?" Qian Hui said while repeatedly tapping his feet on the ground.
"Isn"t she just supposed to deliver the scented candle? What"s taking her so long?" Qian Lu said.
"That"s what I"ve been saying."
At this time, the Qian Brothers were chatting not too far from Feng Ao Xiu"s room while waiting for Jing Wu Chu to deliver the scented candle. As soon as Jing Wu Chu finished, Qian Hui could continue his operation to take her out on a date. But, for a simple task like delivering, Jing Wu Chu taking a long time.
"Maybe, we should go check out on her."
Qian Hui shook his head, "That"s not a good idea. My favorability with her will decrease if I interrupt her. Besides, what could go wrong!"
Qian Lu frowned, he regretted he said he would help his brother as a replacement for owing the money.
"Kyaaa!!! Help!"
"That"s Wu Chu"s voice," said Qian Lu. "Quick, we got to help her!"
"Wait! Wait!" said Qian Hui stopping his little brother.
"What is it? Can"t you see she"s in danger!?"
"I know that!" said Qian Hui. "But the one who will save her is me! You just have to watch from afar and help from the side. Make sure to give me all the credits for your work. That way, she will surely fall for me!"
"Okay," Qian Lu nodded. "Then, Brother, please go ahead! I"ll be following from behind."
Once again, Jing Wu Chu screamed. "Help! Help!"
However, Qian Hui said. "Not yet! She doesn"t seem that desperate. Let"s wait a bit more. I have to save her at the most dangerous time, only then she will agree to go on a date with me."
Qian Lu, "..."
Qian Lu wondered if his brother truly loves Jing Wu Chu.
