Looking at the empty room, with only himself left, the steward felt a bit bewildered. What on earth had the Prince done to upset the Princess Consort again?
However, as just a servant, he didn’t dare to ask the Prince directly. He could only secretly inquire in private, only to find out that the Prince had spent the night in Miss Gu’s room last night, which explained why the Princess Consort was so angry.
Inside the magic space.
Since being hit by something Xuexue threw in last time, Little Tiger had gotten smarter and seldom lay on the ground when resting. Generally, it either climbed up into a tree or hid among the flowers.
Just a moment ago, thinking that so many days had passed peacefully without any incidents, it assumed Xuexue might have kicked the habit of throwing things, so it let down its guard. It had just lain down on the ground for a while when it felt a pain in its head, not knowing what had hit it, and it suddenly flew into a rage...
"Which little brat hit me?"
"Tweet, tweet, tweet, it’s me... it’s me."
The voice sounded very familiar. Little Tiger focused its eyes, and it turned out to be Xiao Jiu. It felt very strange, "Hey, why aren’t you outside? What are you doing in here making trouble?"
Xiao Jiu was somewhat defiant, "What trouble? It’s okay for you all to be here, and I can’t come in?"
Being suddenly thrown in, it didn’t quite react. It indicated that not only Little Tiger was a victim, but it was a victim too.
Xiao Taohong floated down and asked, "Xiao Jiu, do you have any business coming in here?"
Xiao Jiu then told them about Gu Lingqiao’s shameless actions.
Little Tiger and Xiao Taohong, after listening, were also filled with righteous indignation and planned when to teach this woman a lesson.
Xiao Jiu’s small eyes rolled, saying, "No time like the present, let’s do it tonight!"
"Alright!"
A ghost, a bird, and a tiger were plotting a secret plan in the magic space, and Xuexue had no idea at all.
That night, Zi Xia searched the entire Mansion and couldn’t find Xiao Jiu anywhere, thinking it had run away and was scared half to death. That was the young lady’s pet; losing it would be disastrous. So she hurriedly reported to Xuexue.
"Young lady, young lady, something terrible has happened, Xiao Jiu is missing."
Zi Xia hurriedly ran into the bedroom to report to Xuexue.
Xuexue had just finished dinner and was having tea with Long Rui. Zi Xia spoke too quickly, and Xuexue didn’t hear clearly at first. She looked up and asked, "What did you say?"
Zi Xia, looking anxious, said, "Young lady, Xiao Jiu is missing. The maid searched the entire Mansion and couldn’t find a trace of it. The guards in the Mansion also said they hadn’t seen Xiao Jiu all day. Young lady, is Xiao Jiu lost or was it stolen by someone?"
This little bird could speak, and in the Capital, many wealthy young men and ladies were green with envy!
If it really were stolen, it wouldn’t be surprising either.
Long Rui took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "That clever ghost, who could possibly steal it?! It’s already a relief that it doesn’t steal from others."
Zi Xia: "Prince, you’re mistaken. No matter how smart Xiao Jiu is, it’s just a bird. Even if its mouth is sharp, if it encounters someone rough, it could be caught just like that. Merely relying on talking is useless."
"Hmm, you’re right. Wife, what do you think?" Long Rui glanced at Xuexue. This little bird was a treasure; it could identify rare gems.
Reminded by them, Xuexue remembered the little bird. Xiao Jiu had been thrown into the magic space by her all day and hadn’t been let out. Her eyes twinkled slyly, and she smiled, "No worries, maybe it just went out to play. It might come back soon."
