"Your Highness is of noble status, why..." Nan Wusi really couldn't understand how Xiao Yi knew that there was delicious food in such a place.
"Why would you come to a place like this to eat?" Xiao Yi picked up where Nan Wusi left off.
"Mm," Nan Wusi replied softly.
“When I was a child, I was playful. Once, I secretly slipped out of the palace, but I went too far and couldn’t find my way back. My belongings were also stolen. I was penniless and didn’t even have a steamed bun to eat. Finally, by chance, I came to this street.”
"When the elderly couple saw that I was all dirty, they generously treated me to a bowl of plain noodles. I will probably remember that taste for the rest of my life."
“Since I went blind, I have been confined to the palace for a long time, and it has only been in recent years that I have been able to come here. This elderly couple had a son, but he passed away early, so they feel very close to me.”
"So that's how it is." Nan Wusi understood somewhat, but she didn't expect Xiao Yi to be such a loyal and righteous person.
But if Xiao Yi is truly so sentimental, then what about the rumored playboy? Nan Wusi doesn't believe that Xiao Yi, who can remember such a small favor from an elderly couple who lost their child early in life, would wantonly toy with women's feelings and even torture and kill them.
Xiao Yi is truly mysterious in every way.
"The noodles are here, please enjoy." The old man and woman brought out two bowls of plain noodles.
Nan Wusi ate heartily. She had just run all the way here using her lightness skill, and now she was indeed quite hungry.
It has to be said that although this dish looks ordinary and doesn't have a particularly appealing color, aroma, or taste, the home-style flavor is indeed somewhat nostalgic. Thinking of her mother in another time and space, Nan Wusi's eyes also became a little moist.
Even though her family here treated her very well, Nan Wusi didn't feel a sense of belonging. She still felt like a lost soul adrift in a foreign land, without roots or a piece of driftwood.
"Oh dear, why is the little girl crying? Did this young man bully you?" The old woman looked at the tears in Nan Wusi's eyes and felt sorry for the little girl. "Oh dear, young man, you must cherish such a beautiful girl. If there is any conflict, just explain it to her."
"My husband and I have also bickered and argued our whole lives. Even the most loving couples will have disagreements. But you should never keep them bottled up inside. Just talk things out and try to understand each other," the old woman advised earnestly.
"Yes, yes, young man, you should be more understanding. Young lady, you're bound to have more ideas. No matter what the conflict is, you must learn to admit your mistakes, understand?" The old man patted Xiao Yi, passing on his years of experience.
Xiao Yi was initially surprised, but upon hearing the elderly couple's simple words, he smiled slightly and said in agreement, "Wife, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I promise I will never make you angry again."
Nan Wusi burst into laughter through her tears, saying, "You said it yourself. If you do this again next time, I'll make you kneel on an abacus. I'll forgive you today."
"Thank you for your generosity, my lady." Xiao Yi chuckled, finding Nan Wusi truly adorable.
The elderly couple were naturally very pleased to see the two of them reconcile.
"That's more like it! A young couple needs to bicker and argue to have a good relationship," the old woman said, covering her mouth with a laugh.
With these lighthearted banter, Nan Wusi's earlier worries did indeed dissipate, his mood improved considerably, and the noodles tasted even better.
Nan Wusi quickly finished his bowl of noodles, while Xiao Yi ate slowly and elegantly, so Nan Wusi stared at him intently.
"My wife, is it because I'm too handsome that you keep staring at me?" Xiao Yi elegantly put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.
"Indeed, it's quite a feast for the eyes." The joke just now made Nan Wusi much more relaxed, so he spoke more casually.
"Let's go home. I'll let you see me to your heart's content every day, okay?" Xiao Yi curled his lips, his face full of wicked charm.
“Alright, let’s go, my husband.” Nan Wusi stood up and placed a silver ingot on the table.
The two left quickly, leaving the old couple behind, sighing as they held the silver.
Every time Xiao Yi came to their restaurant, he would leave a silver ingot after eating. Unexpectedly, today when he came with his wife, she also paid with a silver ingot. It seems that birds of a feather flock together.
"Would you like to wander around some more, my lady?" Xiao Yi asked.
"His Highness Prince Yi hasn't quite come out of character yet." Nan Wusi was surprised that Xiao Yi still called her "wife" after she came out of character.
"That old couple said that you are very beautiful, isn't that strange?" Xiao Yi's white eyes seemed to be scrutinizing her.
"Your Highness Prince Yi," Nan Wusi called out.
"Huh?" Xiao Yi didn't understand why Nan Wusi called him that.
"Are you being polite?" Although Nan Wusi knew that she was rumored to be ugly, Xiao Yi's words were still very infuriating.
"I'm just curious. Why are there such different opinions?" Xiao Yi was genuinely curious. He had once asked Xuan Li about Nan Wusi's appearance, and Xuan Li's answer at the time was that he looked very similar to Nan Tianba.
But today the old couple actually said that Nan Wusi is a beautiful wife and that he should cherish her. Could it be that they are just talking nonsense because he can't see?
"Perhaps you two noticed my inner beauty?" Nan Wusi casually offered an excuse, which indeed made Xiao Yi feel that he was being perfunctory.
However, he didn't intend to ask any further questions. After all, everyone has secrets, and whether Nan Wusi was truly ugly or had been pretending to be ugly was none of his business.
The conversation ended there, and the two of them didn't wander around any further, so they went straight home.
Nan Wusi was quite decisive; he went back and immediately fell into a deep sleep. However, Xiao Yi still wanted to find out what Nan Wusi looked like, so he summoned Xuan Li.
Xuan Li stood there, still half asleep, waiting for Xiao Yi's instructions, when she heard Xiao Yi ask, "Xuan Li, do you think Nan Wusi is good-looking?"
"???" Xuan Li was completely confused, not understanding why Xiao Yi suddenly asked about Nan Wusi's appearance.
However, Xuan Li honestly thought about it for a moment and then replied, "Miss Nan is quite pretty."
This time it was Xiao Yi's turn to be puzzled. Last time, Xuan Li clearly said that Nan Wusi and Nan Tianba looked extremely similar.
“Last time I asked you, you didn’t say that. You said that Nan Wusi and General Nan look alike, and that it matches the rumors.” Xiao Yi’s tone became stern.
“This…” Xuan Li really couldn’t remember saying that.
"Never mind. Describe what Nan Wusi looks like to me." Xiao Yi thought that given Xuan Li's personality, he certainly wouldn't remember what he had said.
So Xuanli honestly recalled Nan Wusi's appearance, and then used the few words he had left in his mind to stammer out a description of Nan Wusi's appearance.
