The maidservant Tao'er was also upset, but she could only be angry with her master. Whether in the palace or the prince's mansion, servants depended on their masters. If the master was favored, her life would be easy. If the master was not favored, she would be wronged with the master and laughed at by other maids and servants.

Xu's cherry lips were pouted high, her eyes were very unhappy, and for a long time, she opened her mouth slightly and wanted to say something to defend herself, but in the end, reason pulled her back and she shut her mouth obediently. After all, she had just made a fool of herself in front of the prince, and she must not do anything else to displease the prince.

Xu swallowed her anger and stood behind Nangong Jing. Her face was as green as emerald, but she dared not say anything. Tao'er had a similar expression.

At this moment, Nangong Jing stood still, also silent, but his eyes were fixed on Xu. His eyes... were obviously unhappy, suppressed and deep. It was as if he was very angry and wanted to step forward and reprimand her, but he held back.

The indifference on Nangong Jing's face made Xu feel a little frightened. This feeling made her feel even more uncomfortable and aggrieved.

She couldn't be so indifferent any more, even if she said something insignificant, even if she acted like a spoiled child! If she continued to let Nangong Jing get angry like this, and she stayed in front of Nangong Jing, she really didn't know whether this powerful man would punish her.

It just so happened that Gran, the person she hated the most, was also beside her at the moment, and she didn't want Gran to laugh at her.

Nangong Jing was not in a good mood because he was obviously dissatisfied with Xu because of what happened just now. However, because he had taken good care of Xu before and she should have known her mistake now, he did not say much and just said indifferently, "You should go back to your residence first."

Because Xu knew that no matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't make Nangong Jing angry. After all, he was her husband, and she had to rely on Nangong Jing's favor for the rest of her life. If she annoyed him now, her future life would be doomed to be difficult.

What's more, a man like Nangong Jing is not a petty person.

Her appearance was already beautiful, and if her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, her mouth was sobbing, and her nose was slightly red, she would have a sense of pity.

This made Gran feel a little helpless and puzzled. He didn't understand why Nangong Jing suddenly looked at him like this.

During the whole process, Nangong Jing didn't even look at her. Instead, his eyes were fixed on Gran who was standing silently beside her.

She first looked at Nangong Mirror, then moved her eyes to look at the floor-length mirror on the ground. The person in the mirror was gentle and lovely, slender and graceful, with a graceful figure, red lips and white teeth, and no marks on her face. How could he stare at her for so long?

So, after thinking for a while, Xu sniffed, brewing her emotions, her eyes gradually turned red, her voice was a little aggrieved and she looked at Nangong Jing with a coquettish tone, carefully tugged at Nangong Jing's sleeve, her voice was as soft as an innocent little animal, "Prince~"

The mirror was placed in just the right position, reflecting not only her but also Nangong Jing beside her. His angular yet aloof face was enough to make countless girls' hearts beat faster. No wonder so many girls in the capital wanted to marry him.

"Thank you for your concern, sister." Gran naturally knew that Xu would not be so kind to care about her, but since the prince was here, she had to at least respond politely.

Just a few simple words meant that he would not punish her.

"Your Highness, I will never dare to do it again." Xu continued in the same tone as before. As she spoke, her eyes went from slightly red to tears, and her throat choked a little.

But it doesn't mean that he has forgiven her. Xu gritted her teeth, unwilling in her heart, but afraid that she would cause trouble later and anger Nangong Jing again. So she bowed slightly and took Tao'er to leave according to Nangong Jing's instructions.

Because Nangong Jing had been staring at her for some reason, she looked back at him curiously, and the two of them stared at each other in a somewhat strange atmosphere. The servants and maids guarding the room also began to look at each other, but they didn't understand what their masters were thinking, so they stood there in silence, not daring to breathe, for fear that Nangong Jing's anger had not yet subsided and he would vent it on other people.

Even until Xu and the maid Tao'er stepped out of the door, Nangong Jing never took his eyes off Gran. Instead, he looked at him as if he could never get enough of it.

"Okay, I'll withdraw first. I hope Your Highness will take good care of yourself." Afterwards, Xu looked at Nangong Jing reluctantly and stepped back silently. Tao'er followed behind Xu and also stepped back silently.

Xu sighed slightly, thinking about what her mother had told her when she was a child, that men can actually be very simple sometimes, especially between husband and wife, there are no scars that cannot be overcome, and when they do something wrong they usually act coquettishly and admit their mistakes, letting the other party know that they know they are wrong and give in, and generally they will not care anymore.

Nangong Jing just frowned but didn't say anything, so Xu had to take out her handkerchief and wipe the few tears from her face, continuing to sigh, her face full of regret and grievance.

These two short words were both coquettish and filled with grievance and apology. She thought to herself that after all, she was Nangong Jing's concubine. A husband and wife should be bound by a hundred days of grace. He couldn't be too cruel to her.

Both of them were silent, but looking at each other.

Seeing Gran's puzzled look, Nangong Jing felt inexplicably amused. He looked at Gran who was standing silently beside him, and the throbbing in his heart became stronger because he had been with Gran for a while.

Nangong Jing shook his head, walked to the main seat and sat down, picked up the tea that had been brewed and even cooled, opened the lid, and took two sips.

Gran didn't know what he meant, so he followed him closely and walked into the hall and found a seat to sit down.

After drinking the cold tea, his abdomen felt a little cold. He placed his hands in front of his abdomen and said in a cold voice, "You performed very well today."

Gran naturally understood what this meant, so she lowered her head and said modestly: "No, this is what I should do."
