Chapter 718: Do Not Hear What Is Indecent, Do Not See What Is Indecent

Jiaojiao was frightened by her ferocious appearance, hid behind Song Yanxi, pursed her lips and said: "Duck, this is a duck."

She took a deep breath and said, "Even if this was embroidered by my mother, it's still a duck."

Mo Yingxue: "Mandarin duck!"

Jiaojiao: "Duck!"

The aunt and niece glared at each other, neither of them willing to give in.

They all clenched their fists tightly, with determination written on their faces, as if they would not give up until the winner was determined.

Fearing that the situation might spread, Song Yanxi quickly explained, "Princess, you misunderstood. I didn't embroider a mandarin duck."

Then she looked at Jiaojiao again, "It's not a duck either."

"Ah?" The aunt and niece were dumbfounded.

The two of them looked at each other, snorted softly and turned away.

Mo Yingxue still wanted to try to convince herself that what was embroidered was mandarin ducks and nothing else.

But then she thought again, since the fifth sister-in-law, the person involved, had already spoken, if she insisted, she would be being stubborn.

I'm afraid no one knows better than her what she is embroidering.

Furthermore, since the fifth sister-in-law is impartial, she, as her sister-in-law, cannot be too bad.

She snorted softly and said reluctantly, "If it's not a mandarin duck, then it's not a mandarin duck. It certainly doesn't look like one."

Mo Yingxue said, and took another look with a bit of reluctance, sighed softly and said: "Tell me, why is this not a mandarin duck?"

Jiaojiao put her hands on her waist, and said with a very proud expression: "Auntie, stupid, mandarin ducks always come in pairs."

Hearing this, Mo Yingxue suddenly realized, "That's right, mandarin ducks always live in pairs, how can there be only one?"

After hearing this, her mood instantly improved a lot.

Looking at Jiaojiao, who was as proud as a little peacock, she flicked the little girl's forehead with her finger and laughed, "Little fool, you guessed wrong too. Sister-in-law Wu said it's not a duck."

Jiaojiao quickly covered her forehead and said exaggeratedly: "Wow, mother, my aunt hit me!"

Mo Yingxue stopped laughing when she heard that.

She quickly explained, "Fifth sister-in-law, I didn't use much strength in my hands, it doesn't hurt."

The little girl poked her head out from behind Song Yanxi, stuck out her tongue at her, and said with a playful smile: "Jiaojiao lied to Auntie, it doesn't hurt at all!"

Mo Yingxue was so angry that she laughed. She pretended to roll up her sleeves and said, "Well, you little girl actually tricked your aunt. Just wait and see how I deal with you."

Jiaojiao quickly turned around and ran, shouting as she ran: "Wow, Auntie is hitting someone, Daddy, help me!"

Mo Yingxue rushed forward, picked up the little girl and strode out.

The action was done in one go, and it didn't look like a spur-of-the-moment decision at all. It was clearly premeditated.

Jiaojiao was originally very excited and pretended to shout for help in the direction of Song Yanxi.

But soon, she realized something was wrong.

Why is my aunt getting further and further away?

She will never be able to see her father and mother again!

The little girl immediately became unhappy and said with a pout, "Aunt, please put Jiaojiao down quickly. Jiaojiao wants to go find her mother."

Mo Yingxue lifted her onto her shoulders and said, "Why are you looking for a mother? Jiaojiao doesn't want a brother or sister."

Hearing about her younger brother and sister, Jiaojiao instantly became happy.

But this time she was more cautious and asked, "Aunt, if Jiaojiao doesn't look for her mother, can she have brothers and sisters?"

Mo Yingxue frowned and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "That should be the case. Isn't that how babies are born?"

Jiaojiao is still young and doesn’t know what giving birth is.

Hearing her say that, she thought she would have a younger brother or sister soon, and her eyes curved with laughter.

Seeing the little girl so happy, Mo Yingxue teased her, "Jiaojiao, tell your aunt, do you like a brother or a sister?"

Jiaojiao said without thinking: "I like them all."

Mo Yingxue: "Think about it carefully."

The little girl tilted her head and thought carefully, then said seriously with a stern face, "No matter what mother gives birth to, Jiaojiao will like it."

With the two people gone, the originally bustling house suddenly became quiet.

Song Yanxi reached out and took the embroidery shed from Mo Jinchuan's hand, and said uncomfortably: "Your Highness, please don't look at it. I just embroidered something to kill time. I don't even know what it is."

Mo Jinchuan raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "I thought Xier embroidered a goose."

"How did the prince know?"

Only after the words came out of her mouth did Song Yanxi realize what she had said.

She lowered her eyes to look at the table, feeling somewhat annoyed.

You should speak slower from now on.

After all, words spoken are like spilled water, and cannot be taken back.

As if he saw through her thoughts, Mo Jinchuan said, "Between you and me, you can say whatever you want.

It would be too tiring to have to choose every word carefully before speaking."

He didn't want to listen, but he didn't want her to suffer.

Song Yanxi raised her eyes, met his smiling gaze, and asked quietly, "Does Your Majesty really think so?"

Mo Jinchuan: "Of course."

Song Yanxi curled the corners of her lips and changed the subject, "Your Highness is well-versed in military books, so I imagine the Four Books and Five Classics are no problem for him as well?"

Mo Jinchuan vaguely sensed something was wrong and coughed lightly, saying, "I went to the border town when I was young. I haven't read many books, nor have I heard much about the truth."

Naturally, I have never heard of the saying "don't look at or listen to anything indecent."

That was all he could say in his heart.

Although Xier accidentally found out that he had already fallen in love with Jiaojiao on her birthday, she was not aware of the details over the years.

He was afraid that if he told her, she would be scared.

For example, this goose today.

If he had known such a coincidence, he would have played chess with his father in the imperial study, which would have been better than sitting on pins and needles now.

Song Yanxi could tell at a glance that he felt a little guilty, so she forced a smile and asked, "Your Highness, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Mo Jinchuan said calmly, "The goose embroidered by Xier is very vivid."

Song Yanxi nodded and said, "After all, it's a tribute from the palace. If the embroidery is too ugly, it would be disrespectful to it."

When he heard the word "tribute", Mo Jinchuan's eyebrows twitched violently.

What's wrong with the old man? Hasn't he always boasted about his tight-lippedness?

He was the only one in the entire Divine Doctor Valley who knew that this duck was a tribute.

Thanks to him for trusting him so much!

Not missing the flicker of regret in Mo Jinchuan's eyes, Song Yanxi said calmly, "That's not what Master said."

She paused deliberately before continuing, "My grandfather told me."

How could Mr. Yan know about this?

Mo Jinchuan's heart was in turmoil, but his expression remained calm.

Just place your hands on your legs, gently twisting your thumb and index finger to relieve the tension in your heart.

Song Yanxi smiled and deliberately asked, "When the prince returned to Beijing a few years ago and visited his grandfather at the Yan Mansion, didn't he see Xiao Hei?"

Mo Jinchuan said, "I've visited your house a few times before, but I just sat in the front yard and didn't see any geese."

The moment he finished speaking, he thought to himself that something was wrong.

Xier just said it was Xiao Hei. When ordinary people heard this name, they would probably never associate it with a big goose.

Especially this big goose, it is snow-white all over.

When he received a letter from Dr. Huangfu saying that Xier liked the big goose he sent her and named it Xiaohei, he found it particularly interesting.

I didn't expect that after so many years, the stone I lifted would end up hitting my own foot.

Facing Song Yanxi's smiling eyes, Mo Jinchuan smiled lightly and said, "Xi'er, listen to my explanation."
