I insist

Chapter 304: Peach Blossoms Await You

"Liuli, you must help His Highness properly, and you must not let His Highness be bewitched by that old witch Song Miqiu."

The old eunuch no longer addressed Song Miqiu as Imperial Physician Song, but instead called her "Old Witch." In his heart, nothing mattered except His Highness.

"Liuli, I will heed your teachings." Liuli was very happy. To be His Highness's person, she would go through fire and water for him.

Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin had just arrived at the gate.

Liu Xiaoyue was seen squatting at the gate, excitedly watching Yu Huailin and Song Miqiu return one after the other, completely unaware of the subtle changes between them.

Song Miqiu said with a forced smile, "You've come to see me again. Isn't this yet another one who wants to be your concubine?"

Yu Huailin was truly helpless. He had just gotten through one wave of trouble, and now Liu Xiaoyue had come along. Yu Huailin was extremely upset.

It was entirely because Yu Huailin cared too much about Song Miqiu's feelings and was afraid that Song Miqiu would get angry.

"Young Master Yu, you're back! I've been waiting for you for so long." Liu Xiaoyue wished she could press her body against him.

Yu Huailin's face was full of disdain and contempt.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here."

"Alright, alright, if you want to talk, go away and don't block my way back." Song Miqiu now felt particularly disgusted by Liu Xiaoyue and Liuli.

As she spoke, Song Miqiu walked past the two of them. Liu Xiaoyue also looked puzzled, as she hadn't offended her. She showed an unhappy expression, but when she turned to see Yu Huailin, her expression changed to one of infatuation.

Yu Huailin sighed inwardly that he was having the worst luck of the day, encountering two women who wanted to marry him as concubines.

"Miqiu, Miqiu, I'll go back with you." Yu Huailin called out anxiously from behind, his usual composure turning into panic at this moment.

Liu Xiaoyue immediately put herself in front of Yu Huailin, wanting to chat with him more, completely oblivious to the current situation.

"I don't want to repeat myself. Get out of my way, or I'll get rough with you." Yu Huailin's face was extremely unpleasant.

"Young Master Yu, I'll just talk to you for a moment, then I'll leave immediately." Liu Xiaoyue showed no intention of moving aside.

"Get out..." Yu Huailin's patience had almost run out by now.

"Young Master Yu, no, no!" Liu Xiaoyue said in a coquettish tone.

Yu Huailin watched as Song Miqiu pushed open the door and entered, while Liu Xiaoyue blocked her way and pushed her away forcefully. Number 4 showed no mercy.

Liu Xiaoyue was pushed to the ground by Yu Huailin's immense strength. She was in so much pain that she couldn't even get up.

“Young Master…” Liu Xiaoyue did not expect that Yu Huailin would actually push her away.

Yu Huailin ignored Liu Xiaoyue's shouts, strode into the gate, and slammed it shut.

Liu Xiaoyue was left alone to watch the gate.

"Useless thing! Didn't you say you were confident? You were determined to get him?" Liu's mother was furious, truly believing that her daughter had already captured Yu Huailin.

I never expected to see this scene when I came back.

"Mother, don't worry, Young Master Yu was in a bad mood just now. I will definitely be able to make him change his mind." Liu Xiaoyue was still unwilling to give up on marrying Yu Huailin.

"Hmph, if you can't catch him, I'll give you away as someone else's concubine." Liu's mother threatened Liu Xiaoyue.

Liu Xiaoyue nodded fearfully; she had no desire to marry someone and become a concubine.

"Mother, I can do it, you believe me."

Liu's mother didn't say anything more, turned around and left without even glancing at her unlucky daughter.

Liu Xiaoyue could only rub her sore arm in frustration.

“Miqiu…you know perfectly well that I didn’t bring these women here, so stop being so stubborn with me.” Yu Huailin banged hard on the door of Song Miqiu’s room.

Song Miqiu covered her ears, wanting to have some peace and quiet.

Yu Huailin kept knocking on the door. Song Miqiu opened the door, annoyed, and poked her head out. Yu Huailin immediately smiled.

"You shut up, I need to rest. You don't need to explain your problems to me." Song Miqiu said angrily, then closed the door again.

Yu Huailin could only silently leave after seeing the tightly closed door.

When it was time for dinner, Yu Huailin waited anxiously for Song Miqiu, thinking of finding a time to explain.

"Let's eat first, Grandma says he's not hungry." Tian Yumei, her body swollen, placed the last dish in her hand on the table.

Yu Huailin looked disappointed and put down his chopsticks.

"You guys eat, I can't eat anymore," Yu Huailin said before leaving.

Tian Yumei and Qiu Tianlei were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Why aren't Mother and Yu Huailin eating?" Qiu Tianlei asked, full of doubt.

"The two of them went out together today, so why aren't they talking to each other now?" Tian Yumei asked, looking puzzled.

"I think something must have happened between them today." Qiu Tianlei was quite quick-witted at this moment, and he could tell that there was something wrong between them.

"Alright, let's eat first." Tian Yumei placed the chicken leg on the table into Qiu Tianlei's bowl.

Qiu Tianlei put on a bright smile: "Let's eat first, and then we'll send them some more food later."

Yu Huailin sat outside Song Miqiu's door, hoping that Song Miqiu would come out. Song Miqiu was sulking alone in her room and didn't want to pay any attention to Yu Huailin.

Yu Huailin wasn't afraid; national affairs were his real concern. What he feared most was dealing with these trivial matters between women.

Yu Huailin stared at the moon in the sky. He still didn't know what Song Miqiu was angry about. He had already made it clear that he had absolutely no relationship with those two women.

"You, Yu Huailin, for all the good I've done for him, you used to say you liked me, but now why don't you say you like me in front of that woman? You're two-faced."

Song Miqiu took off his human skin mask in front of the mirror, revealing a beautiful woman.

"Do you really believe it? Is it really that shameful?" Song Miqiu angrily pushed the mirror over and lay on the table in deep thought.

The next day

Yu Huailin was waiting at Song Miqiu's door early in the morning. Song Miqiu opened the door and pretended not to recognize him, walking around him.

Yu Huailin wondered why his anger hadn't subsided even after a whole night.

“Miqiu…” Yu Huailin called out.

Song Miqiu did not answer. When Yu Huailin saw that Song Miqiu ignored him, he felt like his heart was on fire. He was both sad and a little angry, even though they had nothing to do with each other.

"Mom, here are your favorite steamed buns. You didn't eat anything yesterday, so please eat more." Qiu Tianlei dutifully handed the steamed buns to Song Miqiu.

Song Miqiu nodded, took the bun and started eating, while Yu Huailin sat beside her without saying a word.
