Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 410: The House Is in an Uproar

Xiao Shiqing became Li Hua.

No, it was Xiao Shiqing’s soul exchanging with Li Hua’s.

The soul exchange happened again, but this time, it was between the two of them.

When Li Hua was once again left without the will to live, the Jade Pendant in front of her took effect. That piece of jade was requested by her original parents because she was born with a birthmark.

No one thought the Jade Pendant could have such a special function.

She discovered a secret about soul exchange and changed her mind, deciding to teach Xiao Shiqing a lesson.

As the saying goes, a knife doesn’t cut one’s own skin, and he would never understand others’ pain unless he experiences it himself.

That final meal was when Li Hua knocked Xiao Shiqing unconscious, but in turn, her own throat was poisoned and left mute unless a special antidote was found.

When they woke up again, she had turned into him, and he had turned into her.

Then "he" took the comatose "her" back to the Xiao Family.

The place known as the dragon’s lair and the tiger’s den.

The Xiao Family was indeed in an uproar, and Mrs. Xiao wore the expression as if the sky had fallen. If not for preserving her image in front of the family, Mrs. Xiao would have surely lost her composure.

Ji Nishang was less composed, looking as pale as if she might pass out.

She thought that once Li Jirou married Heir Pei, her cousin would notice her virtues.

But now he preferred to bring back another woman, ignoring her completely.

Ji Nishang clenched her fingers, biting her lips hard to control herself from rushing up and slapping the shameless woman still lying on the bed.

Li Hua?

Wasn’t she just that fake princess from before?

When cousin saved her back then, she felt threatened, but since nothing happened afterward, she thought it was just her overthinking.

But facts proved her worries were correct!

Cousin brought her back without leaving any room for doubt!

"Xiao Shiqing" watched his family’s expressions and calmly instructed, "I will marry her as my wife. Discuss with father a good day for the occasion, mother."

Mrs. Xiao clutched her handkerchief tightly, "Suddenly bringing her back is too abrupt, you should let mom adjust to it."

Li Hua had seen enough of Xiao Shiqing’s interactions with Mrs. Xiao in her past life; it was simple to play the part now without any effort.

"I simply want to marry her, it’s that simple. Didn’t mother always urge me to get married? Now that I’ve brought someone back, mother can be at ease."

Mrs. Xiao: No, no, not at ease, rather, quite frightened.

"If I remember correctly, she is titled a County Princess by the emperor. How could you bring her back without reason?" Mrs. Xiao tried to resist.

"Xiao Shiqing" replied, "What about the County Princess? She is also Miss Li, the one destined to marry me. Even the emperor, knowing this, would congratulate us."

Mrs. Xiao almost twisted her handkerchief to shreds, knowing she couldn’t out-talk her son, she resorted to a gentle approach, "Even so, let’s wait until Miss Li wakes up to discuss further."

"Xiao Shiqing" agreed.

Xiao Shiqing finally woke up in the evening after a long sleep.

The same dose, yet Xiao Shiqing’s body woke earlier, while Li Hua’s body was slower to awaken.

The room was empty, and Xiao Shiqing felt utterly weak, devoid of strength, unlike any condition he’d even during battles where survival was paramount.

In Xiao Shiqing’s experience, even being ill wouldn’t render him so limp, so lacking the strength to even raise a hand.

How could this happen?

At this moment, voices were heard from outside the room.

"Is this to be the future Young Lady? Shouldn’t we just take a peek? Leaving her in there like that might get us scolded by the Princely Heir."

"The Princely Heir is busy outside all day, having no time for such matters. Besides, the Madam said to wait until she wakes up."

Princely Heir? Which Princely Heir?

Isn’t he right here?

And this Young Lady they speak of, is it Li Hua?

Where is she now?

He recalled dining together, where she agreed to reconcile, expressing willingness to marry him and hoped for an early decision.

It was something he wished for, so he happily drank a couple more cups.

He didn’t suspect much because she drank what he drank, so he didn’t guard against her.

What happened next?

Xiao Shiqing struggled to get up, still weak all over. What’s wrong with him?

He tried to call someone to assist, but his mouth moved without making a sound.

Lifting his hand to touch his throat, he saw his own hand when raising it.

For a moment, Xiao Shiqing thought his eyes were deceiving him.

How did his hands become that of a woman’s?

He closed his eyes to steady himself, reopening them to see the same woman’s hands.

A nameless panic rose in Xiao Shiqing’s heart as he struggled out of bed, only to fall to the ground from excitement, crawling over to the dressing table.

Seeing the person in the mirror left him stunned.

Playing Xiao Shiqing wasn’t difficult for Li Hua, as this man’s usual facade outside was a cold expression; she simply needed to copy that, saying less and doing more.

No particularly pressing matters arose during this time, and with the many talents in Capital City, things didn’t come to a halt without Xiao Shiqing.

Not needing much time, once the issues were settled, life would return to normal with nothing delayed.

Since deciding to do this, she had the guards discreetly investigate thoroughly.

That entire night, she roamed with the guards under Xiao Shiqing’s guise, standing present at any arising situations, with those around addressing matters following his habits.

There was no need for her presence that night, but she purposefully appeared, leaving Xiao Shiqing in Li Hua’s body at home to face the Xiao Family alone.

This body couldn’t speak; even wanting to explain was impossible. Perhaps he could write, but who would take the time to read it?

Li Hua understood Mrs. Xiao deeply; even with Li Hua’s County Princess status, she was not favored in Mrs. Xiao’s eyes, simply because she disdained the Li Family.

Besides, a powerless County Princess couldn’t compare with the noble ladies from illustrious families.

Had Li Hua been born a County Princess, Mrs. Xiao might have thought differently, but alas, Li Hua, reclaimed halfway, was not esteemed by Mrs. Xiao, preferring to wed Ji Nishang, at least fully aware and clean.

Li Hua’s thorough understanding of Mrs. Xiao was indeed insightful, correctly predicting all possibilities.

Because of this understanding, she chose this course of action.

Over to Xiao Shiqing, who wanted to find Li Hua, yet unable to speak, trying indeed to write.

But those maids and old women didn’t regard him, literate or not being secondary, mainly disdainful of what he wrote.

Xiao Shiqing even doubted if they were truly Xiao Family servants, behaving so disrespectfully.

Xiao Shiqing’s temper wasn’t moderate; though in Li Hua’s body, his temperament was his own.

Thus, he exhibited the Young Master’s temper, sweeping everything off the table to express his anger.

Resulting in Mrs. Xiao’s prompt appearance after his outburst.
