"Forget it, there's no point in telling you."

Upon hearing this, Su Lixia curled her lip. She hated people like this the most, always only saying half of what they meant…

"Princess, just rinse the mud off your feet this time. You can soak them again after changing the water."

After saying that, Xiaolian squatted down, picked up the basin of water, and splashed it outside the door.

"Hey, hey, hey?" Yuan Ruo dodged to the side.

"It's not like you'll get splashed, so why are you yelling?" Xiaolian said disdainfully.

Yuan Ruo's lips twitched: "What if you accidentally spill it on the wrong side? What will I do then?"

Xiaolian frowned, glanced at him disdainfully, and said, "It's all been splashed, and nothing like what you described happened. I don't know why you're so talkative." After saying that, Xiaolian went into the house.

"I vaguely heard you talking to someone just now. What were you saying?"

"He didn't say anything, Princess, please soak your feet."

Su Lixia glanced at Xiao Lian, then at Yi Zexuan, and said, "Xiao Lian, go get some food and come back later."

"Yes." Xiaolian got up and left.

"Did you send them away because you have something to say to me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lixia was taken aback: "No, no, shouldn't we eat something to pass the time in this kind of weather?"

"Since there's nothing wrong, why are you stealing a glance at me?"

Su Lixia coughed twice and said, "Actually, I wanted to thank you."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zexuan was puzzled: "If you want to thank me, then why send him away? Can't you say it in front of him?"

Su Lixia chuckled: "I'm just embarrassed."

Yi Zexuan raised an eyebrow and sighed softly: "That's true. It's already an honor for me that a princess would express her gratitude to me. So, princess, please tell me. I'd love to hear it."

"Well, ever since I came here, His Highness has taken good care of us. Many times I've caused him a lot of trouble, but he's very magnanimous and hasn't held it against me. From now on, I'll live at Ziwen's residence, and I'll move there after the Princess's residence is renovated. I promise I won't cause His Highness any more trouble." Su Lixia looked at Yi Zexuan expectantly. At this moment, she believed that Yi Zexuan must think she was very sensible and well-behaved!

The latter countered with, "Ziwen?"

Su Lixia nodded hesitantly: "Isn't that right?"

Yi Zexuan shook his head: "I just didn't expect you guys to become so familiar with each other so quickly."

"Hey," Su Lixia waved her hand, "It's so awkward to keep calling him Young Master Lin every day, so if you don't mind, just call him by his name."

Yi Zexuan nodded and said, "If you feel awkward calling me by my name, you can call me by my given name."

"No way, it just sounds so natural to call him 'Your Highness'," Su Lixia said innocently.

"Whatever you want."

Su Lixia always hoped that her little actions would make Yi Zexuan less wary. The main thing was that she really hadn't offended the female lead, and if she hadn't offended the female lead, everything would be fine!

Just then, Xiaolian came in carrying a food box. Seeing that they didn't say anything, Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief and put the food box on the table.

"These are all local snacks. Princess, please see if you can get used to them."

Su Lixia nodded and said, "It's alright. Let's try some local food and gradually adapt to the local customs."

Yi Zexuan smiled and said, "It's alright. We have chefs here who make your kind of snacks and desserts. If the princess really doesn't like them, there's no need to force her to change."

Su Lixia picked up a piece of pastry, which looked like a yogurt curd. After taking a bite, she said, "It's alright. The flavor is definitely different from what we have back home, but it's quite tasty."
