Chapter 540 Almost Said It Out Loud, What a Close Call (Fourth Update)

Xiao Tang raised an eyebrow.

Fortunately, these two little ones still remembered that she had entered the palace.

Judging from their stammering manner, it seems like they went to secretly meet someone, and their expressions changed completely when they came back.

“It’s healed naturally. You two come over together.”

Erbao secretly thought to himself, "Oh no!"

Da Bao has already taken the initiative to walk towards Xiao Tang.

He said weakly, "Mother, we were wrong. We will never run around again. We just saw Father... Waaah."

The words were barely out of his mouth when his younger sister and older brother suddenly covered them at the same time.

Seeing that the two children were moving in such a strange, synchronized manner, Xiao Tang sensed something was wrong. "Father? What father?"

Da Bao and Xiao Bao shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that they hadn't said anything.

Xiao Tang's sharp gaze fell on her second son's face again.

Erbao stiffly shook his head as well.

He almost blurted out the surprise he wanted to give his mother for her birthday; it was such a close call!

Xiao Tang's face instantly became somewhat worried.

"You guys dislike me less and less, don't you? You even lied to me. I'm so sad and upset."

As they talked, they started acting it out.

The three children couldn't bear to see their mother like this, and they said in unison, both anxious and in unison, "We love our mother the most!"

Xiao Tang gave a soft hum.

She did not pursue the matter further.

The fact that the children have their own secrets doesn't mean anything.

After all, children grow up and will definitely have their own ideas.

The night at the Xiao residence was tranquil.

Outside the window, crickets are chirping.

It was only early June, yet the Dongyuan Kingdom was unusually hot.

The moonlight falls, the windows are bright and the table is clean.

Xiao Tang was half asleep, but for some reason, her breathing was suddenly blocked.

She was secretly puzzled, and just as she was thinking about how illogical this was, she opened her eyes and found the room empty again.

She subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth.

That's so strange.

What happened?

My mouth hurts.

It feels like life has taken a bite out of me.

Xiao Bao was startled awake by the sound of her suddenly getting up and asked groggily, "What's wrong, Mommy?"

"It's nothing, sweetie, you can go back to sleep."

Xiao Tang smiled and touched her daughter's soft, still slightly warm little face.

She touched the corner of her mouth, still puzzled.

The next day, the three babies were surprised to see that her lip was chapped.

Xiao Bao pointed at Xiao Tang's lip and exclaimed, "Mommy, why didn't I see the cut here last night?"

She slept with Xiao Tang, so naturally she had the most right to speak on the matter.

Xiao Tang was also extremely puzzled.

She slept intermittently last night, feeling as if something was gnawing at her, but when she opened her eyes, it was nowhere to be seen.

Could it be...?

In the middle of the night, she was eaten by a ghost?

She couldn't think of any other answer besides this one.

Da Bao and Er Bao stared at the cut on Xiao Tang's lip and fell into an eerie silence.

It seems they've discovered something incredible.

Could it be that Daddy bit you?

Father might have stayed outside the courtyard wall all night just to bite Mother.

Xiao Tang naturally didn't think that far ahead; she simply covered her mouth and told the three children to go eat breakfast.

I took my child for a walk in the park and happened to run into Xiao Yichen.

He and Xiao Xian seemed to be discussing important matters of the court.

Xiao Xian frowned slightly, appearing very serious.

The serious atmosphere between the two didn't last long, because Xiao Tang appeared and they both looked at her.

Xiao Xian, in particular, stared wide-eyed at the cut on Xiao Tang's lip.

What's going on with the corner of your mouth?

A deeper meaning appeared in Xiao Yichen's eyes.

He never expected that Xiao Tang's appearance after being bitten would be so interesting.

Xiao Tang cleared her throat: "It's nothing."

Depend on.

If she finds out which bastard bit her, she'll tie that bastard up and torture him to pieces!

Although Xiao Xian heard her say that she was fine, he still couldn't get over it in his heart. He suddenly said, "Could it be that a lecherous man broke into my General Xiao's mansion last night?"

Xiao Tang: "..."

You have such a vivid imagination.

The most outrageous thing is that Xiao Yichen even nodded seriously, expressing his deep agreement.

"Perhaps it is true, Father. Why don't we arrange a few guards for my sister? After all, my sixth sister has a special identity and needs some protection."

Xiao Tang glared at him.

I really want to sing to this man: "Listen to me, thank you."

Please, what do you need guards for?

How special could her identity be?

Xiao Xian agreed wholeheartedly and nodded slightly: "You're absolutely right. Let's do it your way. If there are any lecherous men here, my Tang'er is as beautiful as a flower. Which lecherous man wouldn't love her?"

Although it was a compliment...

But Xiao Tang felt that it was a bit strange to hear the praise coming from the old man.

It was even a bit greasy.

She didn't want to accept such praise at all.

Xiao Yichen immediately nodded: "Father, I will go and arrange guards for my sixth sister right away."

Despite being called a guard, Xiao Tang even suspected that the man had probably planted a spy.

If it really is an informant, it could very well hinder her from getting things done...

Xiao Xian watched his eldest son's departing figure, stroked his beard with satisfaction, and looked very pleased.

Xiao Tang's lips twitched slightly.

It has to be said that Xiao Yichen is very efficient in his work.

After all, he is the current head of the Xiao family, so his words carry authority.

In less than half an hour, the guard was selected and sent to the courtyard.
