Chapter 391 The King of Heaven and the Tiger of Earth
The birthday party seemed to be full of joy, but in fact there were undercurrents.
Because the Liu family is the host, the guests will subconsciously look at the Liu family.
Liu Zhi pretended to be very well outside, looking dignified and proper, but whenever someone asked about Master Wang, his expression would stiffen slightly.
Liu Qingyi occasionally looked up and smiled, but most of the time he was quietly looking at the prince.
But the prince didn't even look at her, instead he kept looking at Hu Xiner!
Liu Qingyi was filled with jealousy and could not help but twist her handkerchief in anger: "Grandfather is too partial! He actually let that peasant girl sit next to him. If I were also by his side, with my brother, he would definitely look at me with a higher regard. Then I could be with the Crown Prince... and so on!"
She suddenly remembered that her fantasy had been shattered by Hu Xin'er, and she couldn't help but think angrily, "I understand now. This vixen Hu Xin'er must be coveting the Crown Prince and wanting to become a phoenix. That's why she's using all means to suppress me. Bah! Is she worthy of this?"
Liu Qingyi felt that he had found out the truth and was immediately filled with anger.
She felt that Hu Xin'er was too unfaithful to her husband. She already had the most handsome man in the capital as her husband, but she dared to openly seduce the prince at the birthday banquet!
She suddenly stood up and walked out. Liu Zhi didn't try to stop her, so he could only smile apologetically: "Yier has a straightforward personality, please don't be offended."
Liu Qingyi was not as good at disguising as her, and his reputation in the capital was not good. The ladies from the noble families understood and avoided the topic with a smile.
Liu Qingyi walked straight to the main table. When Old Master Liu saw her coming, he frowned somewhat unhappily.
After being glared at by him, Liu Qingyi regained some of his rationality and was not completely blinded by anger.
She forced a smile and said, "Grandpa, I want to wish you a happy birthday, too."
Old Master Liu's tone was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry: "You have always been filial, I have known that for a long time."
He was covering up for Liu Qingyi and giving her some face.
Liu Qingyi didn't appreciate it at all. She just felt that Old Master Liu finally said something sensible!
She is so obedient and filial, but Old Master Liu doesn't know how to cherish her at all. It's really too much.
The Dongzhu earrings hanging in Hu Xiner's ears stung her eyes.
Why is it that she, a legitimate daughter, doesn't dress as well as this concubine's daughter? Is it just because she knows how to flatter the old master?!
The prince should have been hers, and this gorgeous dress and precious jewelry should also be hers!
A raging flame of jealousy burned in Liu Qingyi's heart. She opened her mouth and pretended to start wishing someone a happy birthday, but suddenly her body tilted and she fell on Hu Xiner. The bowl of wine in her hand spilled right onto Hu Xiner's clothes!
The originally gorgeous dress was instantly ruined.
"Oh, Sister Xin'er, are you okay? I didn't mean it!" Liu Qingyi seemed anxious to get up, but he aimed at Hu Xin'er's belly.
Judging from Hu Xin'er's appearance, she still attaches great importance to her son and husband. If she loses this child, will Hu Xin'er still have the energy to fight with him for things... Will she still be loved and respected in the Lu family...
Hu Xiner never expected that Liu Qingyi would do such a thing in public!
But before she could figure out how to respond, she felt a vicious gaze directed at her stomach!
She immediately covered her abdomen and looked at Liu Qingyi warily, cold sweat breaking out on her back.
Old Master Liu also shouted in displeasure: "How shameless!"
Liu Qing thought Hu Xin'er was already on guard, so he didn't attack her. He just curled his lips and sneered at Hu Xin'er where no one else could see.
She mouthed, "Don't even think about snatching it from me."
Seeing that she was still not getting up, Old Master Liu felt ashamed: "Come here, quickly pull her away! Take the young lady to the backyard to change clothes."
No one expected such a sudden change. Liu Qingyi received countless strange looks, but he walked back with his head held high.
The princess originally thought Hu Xin'er was not having a bad time in the Liu Mansion, but when she saw Liu Qingyi like this, she couldn't help but sneer, "So this is Miss Liu Qingyi, she's really well-educated!"
Old Master Liu smiled awkwardly, feeling deeply humiliated.
Hu Xin'er didn't have time to lose her temper at the birthday banquet. It was obvious that Old Master Liu wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter. In order to win Old Master Liu's favor, she couldn't disobey and had to swallow her anger.
She returned to the inner courtyard, and the others had different expressions.
No one noticed that Erdong quietly got up, walked out the door under the pretext of going to the bathroom, and then climbed over the wall to follow...
When Hu Xiner came out, the servant at the door had been knocked unconscious.
She looked around warily, but suddenly heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice from the side: "The King of Heaven and the Tiger of Earth!"
Hu Xin'er answered subconsciously: "Chicken stewed with mushrooms?"
When she realized who made the voice, she couldn't help but feel complicated.
Sure enough, "Erdong"'s face appeared in front of her.
"It turns out that you have traveled through time as well!" Erdong said with surprise on his face.
"You are indeed not Erdong." Hu Xiner also said.
When fellow villagers met, neither of them knew what to say.
Hu Xin'er suddenly realized and asked, "When did you travel through time?"
Erdong touched his nose and answered honestly: "Probably when I was looking for wheat ears."
At that time, he woke up in a dense forest in a daze and was captured by the eldest princess who was dressed in men's clothes and looked heroic.
Then, in order to get rid of this inexplicable marriage and to avoid being forced by the princess, he decided to offer wheat ears to the princess and let her take them back to present to the emperor, while he took the opportunity to escape.
Unexpectedly, the princess was well prepared, and he didn't find any chance to escape along the way.
At this point, he patted his chest with lingering fear: "Your best friend is really brave! Even now, I have never seen such a... such a wolf-like and fierce woman!"
Her best friend could only complain to herself. Hu Xin'er glared at him, "What are you talking about? It's obviously you who took over someone else's husband's body, and you still have the nerve to complain?"
Erdong was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, fellow. I just traveled through time and was excited, so my words may be a little inappropriate. Please forgive me."
Hu Xin'er pursed her lips: "Nothing, I was just a little emotional. Anyway... we are all the same people."
The time when this time traveler answered was exactly when Erdong ran away from home.
She realized that Erdong might have really died accidentally at that time.
No wonder the eldest princess kept saying that something was wrong since he came back.
Now Hu Xin'er knew the reason, but how could she explain it to the princess? I'm afraid no one would believe her.
