The next morning, Rong Baichuan took Rong Chaoxi to the prince's mansion.
After waiting in the front hall for half an hour, the eldest prince came out with the help of the eunuch in charge.
"Your Highness, are you not feeling well these days?" Rong Baichuan showed some concern when he saw that he looked pale and was unable to straighten his back while holding his stomach.
"Nothing, I just have a stomachache." The eldest prince sat down sickly.
"General Rong, are you here today for something?"
"Nothing serious." Rong Baichuan held Chaoxi in his arms, facing the eldest prince. "It's just that many people have seen a strange man in the city recently. I wanted to ask the eldest prince if he has seen him."
"What weirdo?" asked the eldest prince.
[What weirdo?] Rong Chaoxi also had this question and looked up at Rong Baichuan.
Rong Baichuan rubbed the little guy's cheek and continued, "That man has black pupils and a mouth full of fangs. He often hangs out at the swill bucket in the alley behind the restaurant at night."
The eldest prince frowned deeply upon hearing this. "If you were hanging out at the restaurant, why did you come here to ask about this?"
The eldest prince cried out in pain as he felt a cramp in his abdomen. "If General Rong is alright, I won't be accompanying you anymore..."
After saying this in a hurry, the eldest prince hurried away with his buttocks tucked under his tummy.
Rong Chaoxi's face was full of suspicion, then his eyes widened and he suddenly remembered something.
[The black jade he gave to the Emperor is still hanging on the fat pig. Could the strange man the Emperor mentioned be the one who went out to steal the pig's food after being controlled in reverse?]
He's so stupid, he still hasn't realized the black jade isn't with the Emperor.
It has been almost a month since Rong Chaoxi asked the emperor for the black jade and put it on the pig.
If he doesn't disconnect, his behavior will become more and more like that of a pig...
"Hahaha..." Rong Chaoxi covered her mouth and began to laugh.
[The eldest prince is about to turn into a fat pig, hahahaha...]
"Hiss..." Rong Baichuan took a breath after hearing this.
Fortunately, I am his father.
Since we already know the origin of that 'weirdo', there is no need to investigate further.
Rong Baichuan took Chaoxi home when suddenly a crazy woman rushed out.
"Monster, monster...you are a monster!" She pointed at Rong Chaoxi and shouted, her hair disheveled, looking already possessed by a demon.
Rong Baichuan slightly turned sideways to avoid her body that was about to pounce on him.
"She is a monster, a monster, kill her, kill her..." Qiao Jiaojiao kept shouting.
Rong Chaoxi took a closer look, a look of surprise on his face, "It's Qiao Jiaojiao."
[So frightened? Are you crazy?]
Just then, the nanny from the Qiao family came over.
"Miss, Miss, why did you run out again?"
Two servants tied up Qiao Jiaojiao, who was about to tear her clothes, with satin cloth.
The strange things that happened in the peach forest on Yueshen Mountain have long been widely spread in Kyoto.
Everyone in the Qiao family knew that Qiao Jiaojiao believed Rong Chaoxi was a monster.
When Nanny Qiao saw Rong Chaoxi looking at her, she felt a chill down her spine. She hurriedly bowed to Rong Baichuan and went back with the shouting people.
Shortly after returning to the general's mansion, Qiao Sisi came with gifts.
Rong Xuqing brought her to Rong Chaoxi, and she hesitantly said, "Chaoxi... I heard that you were the one who caused those strange vines in the peach blossom forest a few days ago?"
"..." Rong Chaoxi stopped kneading mud and looked up at Qiao Sisi. His eyes narrowed slightly and then opened, knowing why she came.
"Yes, that's Chaoxi's friend." The little guy said in a milky voice and continued to knead the mud.
Rong Xuqing lifted her up from the mud with disgust, washed her hands and feet, and took the little one to a clean place to chat.
Qiao Sisi had heard some things about Rong Chaoxi's unusualness from Rong Xuqing.
When Mrs. Qiao told her about Qiao Jiaojiao's abnormality, she immediately thought of Rong Chaoxi.
"Chaoxi, can you help Sister Qiao save Qiao Jiaojiao?" Qiao Sisi asked carefully.
Rong Xuqing was indifferent when he heard this, "Why should we save her?"
"She set her sights on Abai, and that's her own fault."
The Rong family protects their own people, and even if Qiao Jiaojiao does not succeed, she does not want to help a person with bad intentions.
"Sisi, the Qiao family treated you like that, why are you lobbying for them? Have you forgotten about forcing you to marry this old man?"
Rong Xuqing rarely gave Qiao Sisi a cold look.
Qiao Sisi's face was filled with shame, her eyes moist. "I know I'm not doing well, but... but they used to be very good to me. Qiao Jiaojiao's fifteen years of suffering were also caused by me..."
The voice became lower and lower, and Rong Xuqing became more and more angry.
"That's not a reason for her to harm you. Do you know what would happen to you if you married that old man?"
"You will suffer humiliation and be tortured to death by them!" Rong Xuqing couldn't help but roar.
This was the first time she had gotten so angry since Chaoxi was kidnapped that year.
I thought I was the weak and vulnerable one among the three, but I didn't expect Qiao Sisi to be the biggest naive one.
She has clearly seen other people's calculations, but she can still think of others and continue to belittle herself.
"I'm sorry..." Qiao Sisi lowered her head and shed tears.
She knew that she was not very good enough. Her friends were constantly trying to save her, but she herself was still trapped in the gratitude for her upbringing and the evil deeds of her biological mother.
"Xu Qing, please help me this time, just this once... I will never trouble you again..."
As she spoke, she was about to stand up and kneel down.
Rong Chaoxi raised his hand slightly, and Qiao Sisi sat on the chair, unable to move.
"Big sister..."
After two years in the human world, Rong Chaoxi still couldn't understand Qiao Sisi's complex and tangled emotions.
