Zhuangyou nodded to Xia Yi in thanks, "She is the niece of Consort Shu's maternal family, but why is this maid wearing a young lady's outer garment? What kind of rule is this?"
Xia Yi was also wondering, but when she met Zhuang You's gaze, she could only shake her head.
Just then, Cui'er said, "Miss, just stay here for a while. I'll kill that beast and come right back."
After Cui'er finished speaking, she walked over here. When she saw that there were still people here, she was stunned and subconsciously hid the hairpin in her sleeve.
To Cui'er's surprise, the little boy looked at her and asked in a childish voice, "Are you going to kill that dog?"
Cui'er subtly observed them, tightening her grip on the hairpin, and said with feigned ease, "The county princess and that vicious dog are coming. That dog can bite. Shouldn't you all run?"
The little dumpling's dark eyes were full of confusion as he tilted his head and looked at Cui'er strangely. "Niannian isn't afraid of big dogs. If you're afraid, you can run away like the other older sisters. Why did you kill it?"
Cui'er could no longer maintain her smile in response to the little boy's innocent question.
Seeing that Cui'er hesitated, the little girl immediately dimpled and said in a childish voice, "It's just afraid that others will hurt its little master. Don't go near its little master, it won't bite you. You should go away."
Walk?
Cui'er glanced at Zhuangyou and Xia Yi, completely ignoring the little boy, and curtsied, saying, "This servant is a servant of the Xingbai Marquis's mansion. Please do me a favor, Aunt and Sister. I will be very grateful in the future."
After saying that, Cui'er walked straight toward the direction from which the dog barking came.
The little boy looked at Cui'er, who wasn't listening to him at all, and then at the murderous aura emanating from Cui'er's back as she clutched the hairpin. He pouted and tugged at Zhuangyou's sleeve, "Sister Zhuangyou..."
"Alright," Zhuangyou smiled helplessly, curtsied and put the little baby down. When she stood up and looked at Cui'er, her gaze was cold and displeased. She took two steps forward and stepped in front of Cui'er.
The little dumpling giggled happily at how fierce Sister Zhuangyou looked, but her chubby little body timidly pounced on Xia Yi's lap, watching Sister Zhuangyou stop the bad guys from afar.
Xia Yi had never seen such an adorable little baby before. It was a soft, fluffy little bundle, so cute that it was almost unbearable. She squatted down and hugged the baby into her arms, but the anxiety in her eyes was clearly visible.
The little dumpling tilted his head and looked at Xia Yi's uneasy expression. He patted her shoulder with his little hand in a mature manner, "Don't be afraid, beautiful sister. Niannian will protect you and won't let the big dog bully you."
Hearing the little baby in her arms speaking in a childish voice, trying to protect her, Xia Yi was momentarily at a loss as to whether to be touched or to quickly pick her up and run away.
On the other side, Cui'er was clearly surprised that Zhuang You would stop her. When she saw Zhuang You suddenly appear in front of her, she was really stunned.
However, she quickly calmed down and said, "People in the palace are not usually fond of meddling in other people's business. Why is Aunt doing this? My Xingbai Marquis's Mansion is the maternal family of Consort Shu. If you don't do this, Consort Shu will be unhappy."
Zhuang You didn't bother arguing with her and said indifferently, "Our little princess said she doesn't want you to hurt the dog."
Little princess?
Cui'er turned around in confusion and glanced at the little boy who was looking up and chatting and laughing with Xia Yi.
