Chapter 549 It was actually the Crown Prince
Miss Tian seemed to hear a glimmer of hope, "What do you mean you're afraid to face it? Why are you afraid to face it?"
“Sometimes, the more you care, the less you dare to face it. Perhaps this is the state of mind of Young Master Mo,” Du Mingxian said tentatively.
Miss Tian loved hearing this. "Yes, yes, we have feelings for each other. He must care, that's why he's even more hesitant."
While Miss Tian was rambling on and on, Du Mingxian quickly left, still feeling uneasy.
She's just a servant in the Tian family now, and for Miss Tian to tell her such a secret... it's not that she's not being treated like a servant, it's that she doesn't want her to live.
There's a saying that goes, "You know too many secrets."
The next day, though filled with anxiety, everything returned to normal. Miss Tian probably didn't have a good appetite and only asked for a small drink, which Du Mingxian made into juice.
Then I had nothing to do all day.
When the day came again to go out of the manor to collect fruit, just as she was about to leave, Miss Tian sent someone to call her to the front yard.
When she arrived at the front yard, she found that Miss Tian did not look very good. "You're here. Today is your day to get the fruit. Let's go together."
"What's wrong, Miss?"
Could it be that they've discovered something, and this is just a test?
Miss Tian waved her hand casually, looking troubled. "I heard that your husband was the one who delivered the fruit. I'd like to see how you two get along."
"Okay, shall we go now?" Going out to deliver the message is out of the question; we can only hope that Qiu Shu will react quickly.
Miss Tian was already prepared. "Alright, let's go."
Miss Tian came alone today, but Du Mingxian could still sense someone lurking in the shadows.
The two went out through the back door. Du Mingxian originally wanted to stay a step behind Miss Tian, but Miss Tian directly took Du Mingxian's arm.
"There are no young ladies or servants today. You and I are both servants. We are both from the Tian family. We work together and have a good relationship."
Du Mingxian's heart raced, and she began to suspect that Miss Tian was doing it on purpose, wondering why she had chosen to go out with her today.
The news of the Crown Prince's arrival was kept very secret and certainly hadn't been leaked. So what exactly was Miss Tian testing?
Seeing that Du Mingxian remained silent, Miss Tian said, "I've always been high and mighty, and I've never seen how ordinary couples get along, so I'd like to see."
"Yes."
Fearing that Miss Tian was testing her, Du Mingxian led the person directly to the place where they often met. But the closer they got, the more she felt something was wrong. Qiu Shu's figure was slightly shorter than this person's, and he wasn't as thin.
Could this be Bu Qiu's book?
For a moment, all she could hear was her own heartbeat, and she didn't know what to do. But her feet didn't stop moving at all; they were still moving so fast.
"My husband," she called softly.
The man turned around with a smile in his eyes, about to speak, but then he saw that there was another person standing next to Du Mingxian. His smile froze on his face, and his eyes were full of doubt.
Du Mingxian felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest, pounding like thunder. She had never been this nervous, not even when she killed someone for the first time in her entire life.
The Crown Prince, it was actually the Crown Prince.
Did they really have to go this far? Did they even consider whether she could handle it? This is terrifying.
Miss Tian noticed that Du Mingxian was only staring at the Crown Prince and was a little puzzled. She gently nudged her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you so happy to see your husband that you can't even speak?"
Du Mingxian was incredibly nervous inside, but her face remained as calm as a rock. She casually turned her head to joke, "Of course, I used to see my husband every day, but now I can only see him once every other day. Of course I miss him."
Miss Tian stared at the Crown Prince, and eventually even walked around him while watching him. The moment the Crown Prince's eyes met Du Mingxian's, Du Mingxian silently uttered two words.
Tian Rong.
At this moment, Miss Tian also stopped observing the Crown Prince and looked at Du Mingxian. Without lowering her voice, she asked, "Your husband is not good-looking. How can you be so devoted to him?"
Upon hearing this, Du Mingxian immediately thought of Ji Heng and felt somewhat uncomfortable. "Everyone has different preferences. I like this kind of thing."
"Haha, you're right, everyone has different preferences," Miss Tian said.
The Crown Prince handed the empty basket with a cloth on it to Du Mingxian, saying, "This is today's fruit."
Du Mingxian quickly reached out and took it. As soon as she placed it on the basket, Miss Tian couldn't wait any longer, "Let me see what fresh fruit we have today?"
Just as Miss Tian removed the cloth, Du Mingxian took out the fruit that had been prepared in her space.
The Crown Prince knew best that he had come out with an empty basket, so why did Du Mingxian suddenly find fruit in her hands?
This made him glance at Du Mingxian a few more times, yet he wasn't sure.
Miss Tian really liked the extra peaches today. "I like these."
The Crown Prince reacted quickly, "I'm glad the young lady likes it." He wasn't sure what the next time would be, so he didn't dare to reply carelessly.
Will there be another one next time?
The crown prince pondered, "If we tell you now, there will be no surprises. Wouldn't it be more interesting to change the subject every time?"
"Yes, yes, how come I didn't notice before?" Miss Tian looked at the Crown Prince with a smile, as if she had discovered a new toy. "Your wife is in our household, are you sure you don't want to come and work for us?"
"This way, you two can see each other anytime, which is not only much more convenient, but it will also relieve your longing for each other."
The Crown Prince was speechless at her antics. If he were to follow her into the Tian residence, it would be even more awkward for him to be with Du Mingxian.
"You are..." he asked.
Miss Tian then remembered that she had deliberately not dressed too extravagantly today, but instead dressed like an ordinary maid. "I am the manager of Miss's courtyard, and I have a little bit of say. If you are willing, I can help you."
"That's good. If possible, please take good care of her." The Crown Prince pointed to Du Mingxian. "She doesn't come home every day, and I really miss her terribly."
Miss Tian smiled and took Du Mingxian's arm, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her. We are best friends."
Du Mingxian looked flattered.
"Are you really just a manager?" the crown prince asked.
Miss Tian suddenly laughed, "Then tell me, who am I?"
"You must be the eldest daughter of the Tian family."
Miss Tian was very surprised. "Tell me quickly, how did you know I was the eldest daughter of the Tian family?"
"The young lady's temperament is different from that of ordinary people. Even the head maid usually doesn't have such an aura. The difference is too obvious."
Miss Tian rolled her eyes and asked, "Aren't you farmers from the mountains? How do you know so much?"
Du Mingxian had thought about this question beforehand. If Miss Tian had asked her, she wouldn't have been nervous at all. But now that Miss Tian was asking the Crown Prince, she started to feel nervous and her palms were sweating.
