Chapter 482: The Arrogant Young Master
Not only were the servants and guards in the mansion surprised to see Ji Yunxie, but even Liu Yuping who had just walked over was stunned.
"Are you the eldest son?"
Although he had never seen the eldest young master, he had heard a lot of rumors. This eldest young master did not look like this, and wasn't he disabled?
The person in front of me is standing there perfectly fine.
It was also the first time that Ji Yunxie met Liu Yuping. He could neither say that he liked nor hated this man who was favored by his mother, the queen. He did not show any dislike for him, but just nodded slightly as a sign of respect.
Liu Yuping glanced at Ji Yunxie, his eyes narrowed slightly and he smiled faintly.
"Forgive me for being so nosy, but my eldest son has had leg problems since he was young, and everyone knows that, and his appearance has been damaged, and you, young master..."
There was a pause between words, and Liu Yuping glanced around with her watery eyes, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.
He was almost openly questioning Ji Yunxie's identity.
Ji Yunxie was not annoyed after hearing this. His obsidian eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke in a soft voice with a hint of innocence.
"Didn't Master Liu go to Beichen Palace to invite me back just now?"
Liu Yuping was slightly stunned: "It was I who went to Beichen Palace, but..."
Ji Yunxie said faintly: "Then...what are you still doubting?"
Do you still think that Prince Beichen would find someone to impersonate an unpopular young master of the palace?
Is it still necessary for King Beichen to protect his child?
Ji Yunxie's indifferent and mocking gaze made Liu Yuping's face stiffen slightly and turned a little pale.
The smile was forced, and she raised her pair of beautiful watery eyes to look at Ji Yunxie, leaning forward weakly, and said aggrievedly.
"It was my fault for speaking out of turn. I hope you won't blame me, Master."
Ji Yunxie glanced at him calmly and pursed his lips: "Let's go."
Regardless of Liu Yuping's expression, he led his people back to his former courtyard. Behind him, the servant boy muttered in dissatisfaction: "Lord, this young master really doesn't take you seriously."
"After all, you are the prince's man, and you will be his concubine soon. You are half his elder. It is really too much for him to treat you like this."
Liu Yuping lowered her beautiful eyes and whispered softly, "He is the prince's legitimate son. I am just a small servant without even a proper status. Even if the eldest master hits and scolds me, I deserve it."
As he spoke, he glanced at the servant behind him and gave instructions.
"You must not say this again. If it gets out, people might say that I am dissatisfied with the eldest son. The prince will be unhappy if he knows."
The servant boy was slightly stunned, and pouted slightly, saying, "I am also feeling sorry for you, Lord Ce. After all, you are also the prince's man. No matter what, the eldest son should treat you with some courtesy for the sake of the prince, right?"
"But looking at his attitude, I really don't know what a man like King Beichen likes about him?"
"He is not as good-looking as you, nor as considerate as you, nor as delicate and slender as you. No matter how I look at it, the young master cannot compare to you in any way."
The servant boy stared at Ji Yunxie's departing back, filled with anger and jealousy.
Liu Yuping's lips curled up slightly when he heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, he restrained his expression, glanced at the servant boy, and scolded him lightly.
"It's fine if you just say this to me, but you must not say it in front of outsiders, especially in front of the eldest master, otherwise even I can't protect you, understand?"
The servant boy was dissatisfied, but he had to suppress his dissatisfaction and muttered, "I know, Lord."
On the other hand, when Ji Chen learned that Ji Yunxie had returned, he felt jealous and panicked.
After all, it was because of me who complained to the queen mother last time that Ji Yunxie was locked up in the woodshed and almost died.
Although the forced marriage later had nothing to do with me, it was still me who caused him to be punished by the Queen Mother.
Now that Ji Yunxie has become the fiancé of King Beichen and has become a phoenix, will he come to cause trouble for me?
Ji Chen was nervous and upset along the way.
