“These clothes…” Black Owl felt that the clothes in Ji Fengyao’s hand looked very familiar.

"What's wrong with these clothes?" Ji Fengyao asked, puzzled.

She knew that Hei Xiao had a very bad impression of Lin Shuang because of the Jin'an Temple incident; but she had examined the clothes carefully and found no problems with them.

Hei Xiao took the clothes from Ji Fengyao's hand and examined them carefully. The peach blossom embroidery on them was lifelike and seemed to have a faint fragrance. It was indeed the set that Lin Shuang had wanted to give him before. His expression immediately became a little strange.

"What's wrong with this outfit?" Seeing that Black Owl's expression was off, Magpie came over and asked.

Bai Lu walked over, puzzled. "Brother Xiao, could it be that Sister Lin Shuang did something inappropriate to these clothes again?"

"You said this is a birthday gift she prepared for you?" Hei Xiao asked Ji Fengyao, holding up the clothes in his hand.

"Yes," Ji Fengyao nodded.

A dark glint flashed in Hei Xiao's eyes as he directly exposed Lin Shuang's petty tricks: "I don't know what she was thinking when she did this, but this outfit was indeed something she wanted to give me, but I refused."

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiye's face immediately darkened: "Ever since we returned from the first western expedition, I have noticed that Lin Shuang has been absent-minded on many occasions. My little wife, you still haven't told me what exactly happened in the capital after we left, and what's wrong with Lin Shuang?"

After hearing Hei Xiao's words, Ji Fengyao recalled that after returning from Jin'an Temple, Lin Shuang had gone to the dark room and then quietly left.

She quickly understood why Lin Shuang had given her the clothes.

She must have thought that she and Black Owl had an improper relationship, and wanted to wear this outfit in front of Black Owl so that he would remember her and thus keep him at arm's length.

The methods weren't particularly vicious, but they were absolutely disgusting!

At this point, Ji Fengyao was completely disappointed in Lin Shuang, and she told everyone about everything that had happened to Lin Shuang.

Bai Lu and Xi Que originally felt some reluctance and pity for Lin Shuang, but after hearing Ji Feng Yao tell them many details they didn't know, they completely gave up on her.

"That ungrateful wretch..." The magpie was so angry that it couldn't speak.

Bai Lu twisted her index finger tightly, her face flushed with anger, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Everyone has their own ambitions. Since this is her choice, I will never plead for her again."

"I didn't realize that girl was so fond of you..." Ji Fengming looked at Hei Xiao with a strange expression, his mood was very strange, as if he was unwilling and inexplicably depressed.

Perhaps it's because that girl betrayed us.

Now, when Ji Fengming thinks of her, all he sees are her flaws, and he feels a deep aversion to her.

He snatched the clothes from Ji Fengyao's hands and threw them into the fire to burn: "What's the point of keeping this disgusting thing? Get rid of it quickly, are you keeping it for the New Year?"

"With your pig brain, how dare you order Yao'er around?" Ji Chenhai flicked Ji Fengming on the forehead and said, "Yao'er is kind-hearted. Considering her past service and the pleas of these two maids, she didn't get rid of her. She didn't want to be too heartless and make the people around her feel cold. You should learn from your sister instead of criticizing her!"

Ji Fengming hadn't even rubbed his forehead yet.

Black Owl reached out and rubbed his skin first, then smiled gently and said, "Fengming has always been simple-minded in this regard, not as quick-witted as Xiao Yao'er. Uncle, please don't be too harsh on him."

Ji Chenhai: "..."

He was just disciplining his son as usual, how did that become criticizing Fengming?
