Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...Yang didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, they were here to drink. She stood up and knelt down to the woman and said, "Madam, since today is the old lady's birthday, can we just let this go?
There is no point in continuing the fight. It is just a fight between two boys. It doesn’t matter who wins or loses.”
When Hua, the concubine of Beiyang Marquis, took one look at Yang's dress and then at Chu Xiaoxiao and the dark-skinned boy, she instantly knew that these two were not easy to mess with.
She immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the lady is right. It's just two children fighting, and it's really harmless. Son, let's forget about it! You go back first, and mother will be here soon."
Everyone who is familiar with Beiyang Marquis' Mansion knows that Hua is a concubine, but she calls herself mother to the prince, and does so in front of their guests, which shows how unruly she is.
Even if she is the biological mother of the prince, according to the hierarchy, she should call herself aunt. She should not call the prince "son", but should respectfully call him "prince".
"No, I will capture that black boy. He beat me up like this, I can't let him go easily."
Niu Baichuan rejected the proposal of the beautiful woman Hua, and had no place to vent his anger. He refused to give in and stared at the black-headed man viciously. If eyes could be used as swords, the black-headed man would have died a thousand times.
The guests in the hall remained silent, watching the Beiyang Marquis' son commit suicide.
Although Hua was a concubine, she knew which dignitaries in the capital could be provoked and which could not be provoked. She also knew Yang, who was the wife of the Duke of Huguo Mansion, a long-established dignitary in the capital.
Now the Duke of Protectorate was promoted to a king of a different surname, and the former wife of the Duke, Yang, had become the Crown Prince's consort. They were definitely not someone that their small marquisate could afford to offend.
"Someone, bring the prince back."
At Hua's command, several servants came and hurriedly dragged Niu Baichuan away.
Then he bowed to everyone, said "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality", and turned and left.
"snort!"
Naituanzi snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at Niu Baichuan's back.
[Niu Baichuan is so abominable. I really want to beat him into Niu Baiye.]
"puff!"
Li Sizu couldn't help but laughed, which attracted the sidelong glance of Naituanzi.
The old lady and Yang were trying hard to hold back their laughter, and their minds automatically transformed Niu Baichuan into Niu Baiye. The scene was really eye-catching.
The banquet has not started yet, and the guests are all looking for acquaintances to chat with each other.
Naituanzi felt bored sitting among the adults, so he secretly climbed down from the stool, pulled Li Sizu, and tiptoed into the garden.
The old lady had seen it a long time ago but pretended not to see it.
The child is young and it is certain that he cannot sit still. Besides, she is accompanied by the prince and a dark-haired man, so there is nothing to worry about.
If the prince of Beiyang Marquis's Mansion dares to make trouble, their little girl will not be a pushover.
Just as Yang was about to stand up, the old lady secretly pulled her back and shook her head slightly, meaning that she didn't need to follow and should just pretend she didn't know.
Chu Lianlian did not follow Chu Xiaoxiao out, but sat next to the old lady and Yang. She was already old enough to not walk around casually, for fear of causing gossip.
Besides, her marriage is about to be decided, and her father said that he is her true love and she must not let him down.
She listens to her father.
Li Sizu took Chu Xiaoxiao to the garden and stood on an artificial bridge to watch the fish.
Lying on the railing, Milk Ball was watching with great interest, while Black Charcoal was standing beside her, not bothering to even look. Those fish were just koi, they looked good, but unfortunately they were too dumb and stupid, belonging to the lowest level of aquatic creatures.
[Black charcoal head! Can you make them dance? I really want to see the koi dance! ]
Li Sizu glanced at the black boy beside him in surprise. He couldn't understand why Xiaoxiao thought that the black-haired guy could make the koi dance. Does he have that ability?
Black charcoal head: "......"
It's not difficult to make them dance, but unfortunately I don't have any spiritual power, so I can't release the pressure and make them obey me.
The little milk ball turned his head and looked at the black-haired boy. His big eyes rolled around for several times and then he blinked.
[I give you spiritual power, you can't do anything reckless. If you dare to run away and hide from me, I will cancel the contract. If the contract is canceled, you are dead.]
Li Sizu's eyes widened. What did he hear? Spiritual power? Contract?
It turns out that Black Charcoal Head and Xiaoxiao are from the same plane? No wonder they can communicate with each other through their minds.
Suddenly he felt so insignificant. He was a mortal and did not belong to the same class or dimension as sister Xiaoxiao. He could not communicate with her mind.
I was able to hear her inner voice, all thanks to my biological grandmother.
I turned around and looked at her, thinking that it was already great to be able to be with her, and I couldn't ask for too much.
Sister Xiaoxiao is one-of-a-kind in the world. No matter whether it is Nanyun, Beiguo or Xizhao, there is only such a lovely, quirky little girl like her.
Black charcoal head: "......"
I know, I know, please give me back my spiritual power! I will obey the contract and serve you as my master for life.
[That's good enough. Pay attention and I'll return your spiritual power to you right away.]
Li Sizu watched curiously from the side, he really wanted to know what spiritual power was. Chu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and pointed, and the charcoal-haired man immediately closed his eyes.
This process lasted for about three to five breaths, and then she put down her hand and told the black-haired man.
[Okay, come quickly and let the koi dance for me. ]
Li Sizu: “…”
Is that all? I didn't see anything! Is spiritual power some kind of magical thing that cannot be seen?
Black charcoal head: "......"
I don’t want to. I really want to throw you into the water. If it weren’t for you, how could I have signed the Heavenly Contract? You cheated me.
[I'll cheat you, I'll cheat you, who told you to harm the people of Dongsheng without knowing the consequences? Black charcoal head! I'll count to three, if you don't do as I ask, I'll break the contract.]
Black Charcoal Head wanted to die. The baby was too abominable and always threatened to break the contract with him.
It doesn't matter if she breaks the contract. The contract was made between her and herself. She is the master and can punish the servants at will.
Even if she broke the contract, Heaven would not consider it her fault. It would only consider it his fault, forgive him, and punish him with thunder.
How could a little black dragon like him bear it?
Forget it, let the owner watch the Koi dance! It is really unfair to be punished by thunder for this.
The charcoal-headed man stood beside Chu Xiaoxiao, looking down at the koi in the water, silently releasing his pressure and commanding them: "Dance."
The koi felt the pressure from Longzi, and they all trembled with fear and jumped around randomly.
It is impossible for them to dance. They have no intelligence and don’t even know what dance is. How can they dance?
I can only jump randomly.
Looking at the koi that kept jumping out of the water, Naituanzi was so happy that he laughed "giggle". It was the first time he saw the fish jumping out of the water. It was really fun and interesting.
Li Sizu stood beside her, watching and laughing with her.
Hearing sister Xiaoxiao laughing so happily, he became happy too.
