Chapter 124 The Little Tyrants Bicker

Sheng Sheng happily admired herself in the mirror for a while, only running out when Xie Yunchuan knocked on the door to ask her.

"Brother, come here!"

Xie Yunchuan smiled and caught her, picking up the little dumpling and letting her sit in his arms: "Our Sheng'er has been beautiful since she was little."

The boy had practiced martial arts since childhood, and his firm muscles and broad chest exuded warmth, making Sheng Sheng feel exceptionally safe.

It was this warm embrace that pulled Sheng Sheng back from the brink of death.

Sheng Sheng hugged her brother's neck with a sense of security and said to him in a cheerful and coquettish tone, "Brother is handsome too!"

Xie Yunchuan was particularly pleased with the little dumpling's coquettishness, gently pinched her little nose, and chuckled.

Huang Ying and the others watched with great satisfaction.

Because it was a trip incognito, Xie Yunchuan only brought thirteen people with him.

Xie Yunchuan himself was watching from the side. He wasn't too worried that something would happen to the little dumpling under his nose, so he didn't bring Chunhua and Qiuyue with him, only Zijuan followed.

Sheng Sheng then quietly instructed the old cat and the old fish to go to Jingyue Pavilion.

Little Bai, however, had been waiting at the entrance of Yuqing Palace at some point. When she saw them come out, she walked over very naturally and stood side by side with Yan Hu.

"Hey, Xiaobai, are you going too?"

Little White swished its tail haughtily: "What, can't I go?"

"No, it's not that. It's just that I asked you a few days ago, and you said that instead of going out to play, you might as well lie on the cushion and take a nap." Sheng Sheng suppressed a laugh.

Xiao Bai calmly replied, "Oh, really? I don't remember."

Yan Hu said irritably, "I'm too lazy to complain."

Without looking to the side, Little Whitey swiftly reached out and scratched him with its claws.

Hey, what are you doing!

Yan Hu was so angry that he barked at Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai meowed twice and nimbly ran away. Yan Hu chased after him angrily.

"Giggle giggle."

Sheng Sheng was so amused that she covered her mouth and kept laughing.

Seeing Sheng Sheng happy, Xie Yunchuan was also pleased.

The group agreed to meet at Xuanwu Gate on the west side of the palace at 9:00 AM. Sheng Sheng and the others thought they would arrive a little early, and they arrived half a quarter of an hour before 9:00 AM.

When they arrived at Xuanwu Gate, they found that the carriages of the other people were already waiting there, having arrived even earlier than them.

The carriage was parked to the side, and as expected, Xie Yunqi and Xie Yunjia were standing face to face bickering, while Xie Yunyang and Xie Yunwen stood by looking helpless.

Xie Yunwen tried to ease the tension but couldn't get a word in edgewise. Xie Yunxiang, on the other hand, was already used to it and had no intention of playing peacemaker. She watched her younger siblings bicker with a faint smile.

Xie Yunjia, dressed in a bright yellow outfit, looked playful and radiant. She crossed her arms and looked disdainful, not even giving Xie Yunqi a proper look, just raising her chin and letting him make a fuss.

As the two drew closer, Xie Yunqi's boisterous voice reached their ears clearly.

"What's with that look on your face? Are you even listening to me?"

Xie Yunjia replied indifferently, "Oh."

As the saying goes, the best retaliation is to ignore it. Xie Yunqi's absent-mindedness immediately ignited his anger. Xie Yunqi instantly transformed into a firecracker, jumping three feet high: "What kind of attitude is that? How can you talk to your younger brother like that!"

Seemingly awakened by the word "younger brother," Xie Yunjia finally turned her head to look at Xie Yunqi properly.

Xie Yunqi got excited and was about to continue attacking her when he saw Xie Yunjia's beautiful eyes scan him up and down a few times before she said lightly, "Oh, I don't have a younger brother who only answered two out of forty questions correctly."

Xie Yunqi choked, but after hearing what Xie Yunjia said, he was so angry that he jumped up and was about to rush up and fight her, but Xiao Quanzi held him back tightly.

Xiao Quanzi held Xie Yunqi's waist, but couldn't control Xie Yunqi's upper and lower limb movements.

Xie Yunqi pointed at Xie Yunjia, her legs twitching as she tried to rush over, swaying like willow branches in the wind.

"Hey, you found yourself a shrew, and you dare to laugh at me? Let me tell you..."

Seeing that the situation was escalating, and before Sheng Sheng even arrived, he quickly shouted, "Brother!"

That one word, "brother," immediately drew the attention of three people—oh no, Xie Yunjia was among them.

It doesn't matter whose attention it attracts, as long as it interrupts Xie Yunqi's spellcasting.

The little tyrant, who was about to launch an attack in a fit of rage, stopped after hearing the sound. He then shook off Xiao Quanzi's hand, straightened his light blue robe, which he had specially changed to match the little dumpling's color, and fiercely threatened Xie Yunjia.

"Hmph, this time it was only because Xiao Quanzi held on tightly that I was stopped. Next time, just wait and see how I settle the score with you!"

Xie Yunjia: "Oh."

Xie Yunqi choked: "You!"

It was clear that Xie Yunjia had greatly angered Xie Yunqi, to the point that he even ripped off the white jade pendant that Xie Yunqi had specially chosen for him.

To be precise, Xie Yunqi was the one who got angry, and Xie Yunjia simply couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

Suppressing a laugh, Xie Yunqi waited until Xie Yunchuan carried her closer before changing her tune, crying pitifully, "Wow, little sister, she bullied me!"

Xie Yunjia gave him a dismissive glance.

Xie Yunyang smiled and shook his head, saying, "You've finally arrived. If you hadn't come, Fifth Brother would have turned into a drum."

Sheng Sheng thought about Xie Yunqi's angry expression just now, and realized that he was indeed about to turn into a bulge full of anger.

Xie Yunqi snorted: "I didn't! A good man doesn't argue with a woman, why would I get angry!"

Xie Yun smiled and said, "Really? Then who was that looking so aggrieved and seeking comfort from Sheng Sheng just now?"

Xie Yunqi stammered and couldn't get the words out, which amused everyone with his stubbornness.

Xie Yunchuan put the little dumpling down, and as soon as the little dumpling touched the ground, it couldn't wait to pounce into Xie Yunjia's arms, hugging her skirt tightly and refusing to let go.

Xie Yunjia was taken aback, still somewhat unaccustomed to being close to her in front of so many people. She awkwardly tidied her stray hairs and placed her hands somewhat unnaturally on the little dumpling's shoulders.

The familiar scent of roses emanating from Xie Yunjia wafted over, sweet but not cloying, its fragrance mesmerizing.

"Royal sister, royal sister, how did fifth brother bully you? Did he scare you?"

Xie Yunqi was dumbfounded: "No, why are you on her side? You should be on my side!"

Sheng Sheng poked her face out from under Xie Yunjia's body and analyzed fairly and impartially: "It must have been Fifth Brother who provoked Sister First. Sister wouldn't be so bored."

"Hey you, you little ingrate! Have I been spoiling you all this time? We're still wearing matching clothes!"

"It's not the same style, it's just the same color," Sheng Sheng corrected earnestly.

Xie Yunqi stomped her feet in anger, heartbroken by her dearest sister. Clutching her heart with a hurt expression, she turned and got into one of the carriages.
