Little Tiger was attracted by the tuft of bird feathers and wanted to touch it, but was afraid, so he continued to grab Big Tiger's fingers to touch the bird's body.

Da Hu wanted to beat this wronged brother to death.

"Mom, is it dead?" Erhu asked.

Su Xiaoxiao touched its little chest and said, "No, it's still breathing. It might have fainted. It will be able to fly when it wakes up soon."

Little Tiger ruthlessly shook off Big Tiger's finger and poked it with his little index finger.

At this time, several ferocious servants came up to the shore.

"You guys, go search that boat! Afeng and the others, follow me! Remember, we must catch that little beast!"

"yes!"

The servants split into two groups, one group boarded the pleasure boat next door, and the other group came to the Pearl Pavilion.

As expected, the group of people who came to Pearl Pavilion saw the parrot on the tiger's belly.

One of the servants shouted, "Look, brother! Over there!"

The leading servant came over following the sound and, as expected, saw the cockatiel with a tuft of golden hair on its head.

He strode over. The owner of the pleasure boat was worried that he was causing trouble, so he stepped forward and asked what they were doing. The leading servant coldly shouted at him, "Go away!"

The owner of the houseboat shuddered with fear.

Several people came to Su Xiaoxiao and her three children.

The leading servant snorted coldly: "Little beast, so you are here!"

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to go forward to catch it.

It looked like something bad was going to happen, as if the little thing was going to be skinned alive.

Xiaohu blocked it with his little hand: "Why are you touching me?"

It was the first time for the few people to see the triplets, and they were curious for a moment, but that was all. The more important thing was to get down to business.

The leading servant said disdainfully: "Little thing, give the bird back to me! Otherwise, I will arrest you as well!"

Da Hu turned around and shouted to the side room, "Dad! Someone wants to catch Xiao Hu!"

Don’t act stubbornly when encountering problems, let your father do it if you can!

Wei Ting walked out with a cold expression.

Ling Yun also came out with them. When he heard that someone wanted to arrest his evil disciple, he refused.

Wei Ting was the most dissolute playboy in the capital. When he came out, his aura of being the best in the world immediately shocked the servants.

Although Ling Yun looked thin and weak, he had a noble and dignified temperament, and it seemed that he was of some prominent family.

Wei Ting glanced at the servants coldly, frowning slightly, as if to say, is this the kind of stuff they are?

He came in front of the servants and said arrogantly: "What's the matter?"

The servants' legs went limp.

The leading servant summoned up his courage and said, "That parrot pecked my master's...well, anyway, it pecked someone, so my master asked us to catch it and kill it!"

The three little ones act cute towards their dad.

"Isn't he dead?" Wei Ting said.

"Ah?" The servants were all stunned.

Wei Ting flicked his wide sleeves and swept the little thing off Da Hu's belly.

"Well, I can't die any more."

The little parrot's limbs were stiff, and it really looked like a dead bird.

The leading servant said no more, coughed lightly, and left with his men.

"Brother, are you leaving just like that?"

"What do you want to do if you don't leave?"

"They killed the bird, they must have some..."

"Yes, yes, yes! I knew I wanted it! You don't even know how you'll die one day, you have no vision!"

He had just seen the palace token on the young man's waist. The other party was a noble who could enter and leave the palace freely. How could they, the little minions, afford to offend him?

Besides, the bird was already dead, so they had accomplished their mission.

After they left, Erhu asked Wei Ting, "Dad, is it really dead?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "Yes, we can eat roasted parrot soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the "dead" parrot slowly moved and spread its wings little by little.

It already has beautiful feathers, and when it spreads its wings, it becomes even more charming and attractive.

"Wow." The three little ones were amazed. They squatted around it and began to watch it.

Cockatiels are considered to be gentle in temperament among parrots, but this is an exception.

It is a grumpy little parrot that likes to bite people.

Xiaohu went to touch it.

It flapped its wings and prepared to take a bite.

Suddenly, Da Hu grabbed its neck and picked it up: "Huh? Why can't it fly?"

The cockatiel rolled its eyes because it was pinched.

"Let me see." Erhu said.

Da Hu handed it to Er Hu.

The cockatiel finally got a chance to breathe, but before it could catch its breath, the two tigers grabbed its neck again.

Erhu asked, "Is it not fully awake yet?"

"Give it to me, give it to me!"

Xiaohu said.

Xiaohu hugged the cockatiel with both hands, and this time no one strangled it.

The cockatiel opened its beak ferociously.

"It has water in its wings."

Xiaohu imitated Su Xiaoxiao's way of brushing her clothes and grabbed the little parrot and brushed it vigorously.

The cockatiel whose brain was almost shaken apart: "..."

Ling Yun asked Deng An to buy a birdcage.

This cockatiel doesn't look like it's easy to tame, so it might be a little troublesome to get it into the cage later.

Deng An thought so.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the birdcage, the cockatiel flew in as if escaping for its life.

Deng An: “…”

Ling Yun returned to Lihua Lane with his three little disciples and a new cockatiel.

"Why don't we go back?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Wei Ting said seriously: "Raising birds is troublesome. You have to buy bird food."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

When the boss learned that they were leaving, he specially gave them a jar of kimchi.

Su Xiaoxiao declined.

The boss smiled and said, "Take it with you. I think the young man just now really liked it."

He was talking about Ling Yun.

Ling Yun has a bad stomach, so he has to eat less kimchi, but Su Xiaoxiao couldn't refuse the boss's kindness, so he accepted it anyway.

The two of them got out of the pleasure boat and walked towards the carriage parked on the side of the road.

Just as I was about to sit on it, a man and a woman came towards me.

If the woman wasn't Guo Lingxi, who else could she be? Guo Lingxi had cried at home, and her eyes were still red.

She didn't expect to meet Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting here, and she was stunned.

"cousin?"

She greeted Wei Ting.

As for Su Xiaoxiao, she chose to turn a blind eye.

"Cousin." Guo Huan also greeted him with a smile, then he looked at Su Xiaoxiao beside Wei Ting, "This is——"

Wei Ting said: "My fiancée, Su."

Guo Huan took a deep look at Su Xiaoxiao and smiled gently: "This is Miss Su. I am Guo Huan, Wei Ting's cousin."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.

Wei Ting asked Guo Huan, "When did my cousin return to Beijing?"

Guo Huan smiled and said, "I just got back. I was going to visit you and your aunt at the Wei family. Have you eaten yet? Together?"

"We've eaten." Wei Ting said, "Nothing else, we'll leave first."

"cousin……"

Princess Lingxi wanted to shout but failed.

The two got on the carriage.

Princess Lingxi stamped her feet in anger: "We haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already being affectionate all day long! How disrespectful!"

Guo Huan looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, with a thoughtful look on his face.

In the carriage, Su Xiaoxiao also fell into deep thought, which was rare.

"What are you thinking about?" Wei Ting asked.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "How many brothers does Princess Lingxi have?"

Wei Ting said: "Two. Guo Huan is the eldest brother who is born of a legitimate wife, and there is also a second brother who is born of a concubine."

The brother that Princess Hui'an mentioned should be Guo Huan. Princess Hui'an said that Guo Huan was very powerful, but Guo Huan looked like a gentle and noble young man.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Guo Huan is your cousin, but I see that you two... don't seem to be that close."

Wei Ting said, "Guo Huan is quite close to my sixth brother."

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "Why aren't you close to him?"

"It's not that we're not close..." Wei Ting paused and said, "When I was a child, my sixth brother often took me to Guo's house to play with Guo Huan. Strictly speaking, we were close, but then something happened."

Su Xiaoxiao was curious: "What's the matter?"

Wei Ting recalled: "He threw a cat to death just because the cat scratched my eldest brother. He was ten years old that year. My cousin's husband gave him a good lesson, and he never made a similar mistake again. But for some reason, I could no longer get close to him."

"So that's how it is." Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized.

"Is this what you were thinking about just now?" Wei Ting asked.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, I'm thinking about something else. But I need to understand your relationship with Guo Huan first."

Wei Ting looked at her strangely.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Do you remember what I said about the fragrance I smelled in the cellar where the corpse was hidden?"

Wei Ting nodded. "Remember, the cellar was full of rotting corpses of White Lotus followers. I was surprised at the time how you could smell the fragrance? Later, you also smelled it on a petty thief, but because we didn't know where he stole the scented handkerchief, the clue was interrupted again."

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Guo Huan also has the same smell."

That’s all for today. See you tomorrow.
