Feng Yu Heng sighed to herself. She had to admit that Qing Shuang was usually very good, but she did not think that this sort of thing would happen.

"If you forgot then you forgot." Xuan Tian Ming said: "It was originally something awarded to you. What sort of logic is there in returning it."

Feng Yu Heng thinly smiled then said: "Then next time I go into the palace, I will return it to father Emperor. Having failed to fix your legs, I feel at a loss keeping this sort of thing."

She said this while closing up the box and putting it back into her sleeve once more. Xuan Tian Ming handed her some tea and only regained his usual sly smile upon seeing her take the tea. Looking at the cloak on Feng Yu Heng's body, he added: "It's not cold in the room. Have the servant take it for you."

"That's fine too." Feng Yu Heng turned and said to Qing Shuang, "You may take the cloak."

Qing Shuang complied and went forward to help remove the cloak. While doing this, Feng Yu Heng spilled some of the tea she was holding, and Qing Shuang quickly pulled out a handkerchief to clean up. Xuan Tian Ming watched for a while, and his sly smile became even more apparent.

When it was finally cleaned up, the waiter came up with the first plates of food. Under the guidance of Xuan Tian Hua, they began to eat.

Qing Shuang placed Feng Yu Heng's cloak on her arm and stood to the back. Subconsciously, she looked towards the third prince then immediately looked away. She pretended to act cool, but her heart was tossing about.

While eating, Feng Yu Heng seemingly haphazardly glanced at Qing Shuang then said with great interest: "When we left the manor today, I did not pay to much attention, but I only just noticed that Qing Shuang's earrings are pretty good looking. It's made of jade, right?"

Qing Shuang felt her ears and replied with a smile: "It's not any particularly good jade. Last month, when the salary was paid, young miss gave this servant a little bit more, so this servant went and bought it. Speaking of, I still need to thank young miss." Although she said this, she was quite confused. This was not the first time she had worn these earrings, and the second young miss had always been an attentive person. For her to say that she had never seen them before, Qing Shuang definitely did not believe it. But why did the second young miss say it?

While she was thinking, she heard Feng Yu Heng say: "The paltry amount given for monthly salary was enough to buy such pretty earrings?" She feigned surprise, "It seems to be of the same quality as the jade gourd that elder brother wore at the Mid-Autumn Banquet."

Qing Shuang felt her heart drop and was no longer able to play it cool. Looking at Feng Yu Heng in horror, her heart nearly leapt up out of her throat.

So she was waiting for this!

"Second young miss must be joking. This servant... does not recognize the eldest prince."

"Hm?" Xuan Tian Ming made a move, "Heng Heng only said elder brother, so why did you believe it to be the eldest prince?"

"This..." Qing Shuang was dazed then quickly knelt on the ground: "Young miss, this servant...." She did not know what she should say. The more she said, the more mistakes she made.

"What are you guys doing?" Xuan Tian Hua helplessly shook his head, "We're having a good meal, so why get mad at a servant."

"I have not gotten mad." Feng Yu Heng personally helped Qing Shuang up then rested her hands on her arms for a while, "I merely said it on a whim and was joking with you. You are my personal servant, so why is it that you are unable to even recognize a joke?"
