Chapter 377 The Old Dog Who Betrayed His Master
Xi Lin sneered, and without even turning his head, he said, "I don't care about mundane things like getting married and having children."
Hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but stop and look back, then cursed with a frown: "You are such a person, and you still want to marry and have children? Even if you wait for another eight hundred years, you will never get a wife!"
She still felt unsatisfied as she spoke, so she spat on the ground before turning and leaving.
The look in his eyes when he left looked as if he wanted to drown Xi Lin with his saliva.
On the other hand, Xi Lin's handsome face was still full of indifference. He moved his lips and spit out two words: "Shrew."
The sound was neither loud nor soft, but clear enough for people around to hear.
The old lady staggered and almost fell down from anger.
She turned around and wanted to say something, but just as her lips moved, she was stopped by the people beside her.
They didn't say anything profound, just said "It's a good day when the prince returns safely, it's not worth it" to calm her down.
But when she thought of Xi Lin's attitude just now, the old lady couldn't help but mutter, "He's a handsome young man with a good family background and medical skills, but it's a pity that he was born with such a mean mouth.
I don’t know which girl will be so blind as to insist on marrying him in the future.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter all around.
The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Xi Lin curled his lips, lifted the gourd in his hand and said, "There's a baby at home waiting for milk, I'll go back first."
As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did the prince say?"
Mo Jinchuan nodded slightly and said, "I have something to discuss with General Xu."
The general's mansion is only about half a quarter of an hour away from here.
Xi Lin would just accompany him for a walk, which would take at most half an hour and would not take much time.
To put it bluntly, I don't want to go.
As for why I don't want to, the reason is obvious.
Xi Lin nodded in understanding, his eyes fell on Song Yanxi beside him, and he raised his eyebrows.
The implication is: "If he doesn't leave, you can't also leave, right?"
He, with his not-so-good hearing, heard some of the gossip just now, so she should have heard some of it.
Mo Jinchuan is a grown man with thick skin and strong muscles, so it doesn't matter if he loses some face.
But she is a girl, and she should cherish her reputation more. Otherwise, if the news gets back to the capital, not to mention how those self-proclaimed noble ladies in the circle will look at her, even the people of the Song family will probably kill their own relatives for the sake of their reputation.
In this devilish world, even if she is already a princess, she will still be burdened by her reputation.
Not to mention, she had just divorced Lin Tingfeng not long ago, and it was unknown whether the news had been passed back to the capital.
If something were to get out at this time, it might become a good story for Mo Jinchuan, and he would just regard it as another romantic affair.
But for her, it was fatal.
Before Song Yanxi could speak, Mo Jinchuan spoke first, "I want to discuss something with General Xu that might require the assistance of the princess. I wonder if the princess would be available?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice echoing from the crowd: "Convenient, of course it's convenient!"
Mo Jinchuan glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, and the booing voices stopped abruptly.
Song Yanxi nodded, her expression calm as she said, "Business is more important."
There was nothing to be seen on their faces. Although Xi Lin was reluctant, he still said, "Okay, you two take care of the business. I'll go back and nurse the baby first."
He habitually finished speaking before realizing something. His face immediately darkened. He looked at Song Yanxi and said, "Hurry up and come back to help take care of Ping An. That kid has been very naughty these past two days. I can hardly control him."
Song Yanxi smiled lightly and nodded, comforting him, "Thank you for your hard work during this period, Doctor Xi."
Xi Lin snorted softly and said, "I'm glad to know. I haven't been eating or sleeping well lately, and I've lost a lot of weight."
He had lost a lot of weight, and Song Yanxi noticed it when they first met.
She pondered, "After I finish my work, I'll think of some recipes for medicinal food."
When Xi Lin heard about the medicinal food, his face suddenly turned bitter. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "You should just withdraw your magical powers. Let my apprentice stew two pig's trotters for me to nourish myself."
Song Yanxi raised her eyebrows in surprise. Chang Jiu could actually cook?
Chang Jiu scratched his head sheepishly after meeting her eyes. "There's still some chicken soup hot on the stove in the small kitchen. You can have some when you get back from your work, Princess."
Song Yanxi couldn't help but curl her eyebrows and nodded in agreement.
She really wanted to try Changjiu's cooking.
*
At the gate of the general's mansion.
Xu Xiao hurried back and looked at the people standing at the gate of the mansion. He asked anxiously, "Can the prince and princess enter the mansion?"
Before anyone could speak, Zhuang Shihan, who had been fooled by Xi Lin, said unhappily, "Of course he was on the way. How could he just disappear from the face of the earth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the surroundings freeze instantly.
The deputy generals who had originally ignored her and Lin Tingfeng looked at her with sharper eyes, as if they wanted to cut a piece of flesh from her.
What are you doing?
She just said a few words, but she was stepping on their tails or trying to kill them?
They knew it because Xu Xiao was loyal to Mo Jinchuan, and they were loyal to Xu Xiao.
If you don’t know, you might think that these are a few dogs that Mr. Xu trained specially for him, and they are all very obedient.
And that bitch Xi Lin!
Obviously nothing happened in the general's mansion, but he spoke so confidently that she thought something had happened to Jiaojiao.
It was all for nothing.
The next time they meet, she will tear his mouth apart.
Xu Xiao dismounted and walked quickly to Zhuang Shihan, with a hint of murderous intent in his black eyes.
He asked coldly, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Misfortune comes from the mouth?'"
Zhuang Shihan sneered and asked, "General Xu, are you threatening me?"
Xu Xiao: "I am reminding the princess."
Zhuang Shihan frowned and was about to provoke him when she caught a glimpse of Mo Jinchuan and his group appearing within the time limit.
She curled the corners of her lips and lowered her voice, "Your master is back, why don't you go and greet him?"
Xu Xiao frowned, and his already dark face became even darker.
Although he was nearly twenty years younger than Duke Jingguo, they were of the same generation, so it was reasonable for him to call her uncle.
Even in terms of official titles, how could he, a general of the second rank personally appointed by the emperor, be inferior to her, a princess who was not of royal blood but was awarded the title for her merits?
He usually addresses her politely and respectfully, does she really think he is afraid of her?
Xu Xiao's expression grew increasingly grim. Just as he was about to open his mouth to remind Zhuang Shihan, she suddenly asked in a low voice, "General Xu, tell me, with His Royal Highness Prince Jin's temper, what would he do if he knew he had a traitorous old dog by his side?"
She paused, then continued, "I don't know what Your Highness will choose, but if it were me, I would definitely skin that old dog, pull out its tendons, make a dog-skin kite, and fly it into the sky for everyone to see.
General Xu, do you think I'm right?"
Xu Xiao's expression grew increasingly gloomy. He stared coldly at Zhuang Shihan and said word by word, "Duke Jingguo truly gave birth to a good daughter."
Seeing that he was truly angry, Zhuang Shihan advised, "General, you're old now. It's better not to get angry. It wouldn't be worth it if you get yourself into trouble again."
As she spoke, she smiled brightly at Mo Jinchuan, who was not far away, and asked, "I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Jin thinks what I just said is wrong?"
