Before entering the Xiao residence, Xiao Tang stopped Di Jingling at the entrance of the Prince's mansion.
“My husband, my third sister is the fourth child in the family. She’s quite a formidable character on Shensuan Mountain.”
"Huh?" He didn't understand why she was pulling him aside to say those things.
He calmly looked down at her.
The woman spoke with great enthusiasm, her eyelashes fluttering with excitement.
He suddenly thought...
If they really have a child in the future, the child will definitely be as lively as Xiao Tang.
Realizing that his thoughts had wandered, he quickly looked at her seriously.
"Your Highness need not worry, it's just a small matter."
How can it be considered a small matter?
The Xiao family only has a few siblings. I'm the second oldest, with an older brother who guards the border. This Xiao Rourou isn't even considered a daughter of the Xiao family.
She was just an adopted daughter.
[Sigh, I'm starting to suspect that Xiao Rourou is actually the Duke of Xiao's biological daughter.]
Knowing she was an adopted daughter, she still treated her with the same love and affection as her own.
This fully illustrates the problem.
Xiao Tang nodded, "It's good that my husband knows my feelings. I'm just worried that you're underestimating your enemy. I'm worried!"
As she said this, she wiped her eyes.
There were no tears.
But they certainly put on a very convincing performance.
I'm not worried anymore.
That blonde brat, she's not even fully grown yet, do you think I'm afraid of her?
We're all practicing mystical healing and dabbling in esoteric arts; I've never been afraid of anyone.
But she still said earnestly, "Husband, please don't be fooled, waaaaah..."
As she was talking, the man pulled away her hand, which she was pretending to wipe her eyes from.
The man's cool fingertips gently touched the corner of her eye.
He gently stroked the corner of her eye.
There were no tears at all.
He curled his lips into a half-smile, "Your Highness, are you faking tears?"
[Oops! Who told you to touch the corner of my eye!]
"Waaaaah, my husband, do you know the saying, 'Wanting to cry but having no tears'? That's exactly what I'm feeling right now!"
She gently poked the corner of her eye.
This action looks rather comical and funny.
Di Jingling was too lazy to expose her, so he pulled her hand away and entered the Xiao residence.
The moment the door opened, Xiao Tang immediately shielded the man behind her.
The action is like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
Don't let this sudden, melodramatic turn of events happen!
I don't mind, but the villain can be terrifying when he gets angry!
Fortunately, after looking around, I didn't see anyone causing the melodrama.
"Greetings, Regent." The Xiao family members greeted them as soon as the door opened.
Led by Duke Xiao, a group of people knelt down to pay their respects.
Of course, standing closest to Duke Xiao was his youngest daughter, who had just come down from Shensuan Mountain.
They are loved and cherished, so naturally they are placed in an important position.
Di Jingling, however, did not tell them to rise. Instead, he raised his hand and ordered, "Where is my princess consort? Why are you not bowing?"
Duke Xiao's expression froze. Under pressure from Emperor Jingling, he could only take the lead in bowing to Xiao Tang.
Xiao Yingying felt a surge of anger rising in her chest. How could she, who held such a high position on Shensuan Mountain, possibly be willing to bow to Xiao Tang!
What's more, this person is a country bumpkin from the countryside!
Everyone else bowed, but she stood there stiffly.
When her gaze fell upon the Regent, her eyes softened instantly.
"Don't stand at the door, please invite them in."
"The banquet will naturally be prepared with fine wine and food."
"Your Highness must be hungry too."
After a series of ingratiating words, Di Jingling showed a look of disgust.
He gave a curt "hmm" to indicate that he understood.
Holding Xiao Tang's hand, he walked into the banquet hall.
The table was laden with all sorts of delicacies, a Manchu Han Imperial Feast that rivaled the dishes served at a palace banquet.
As soon as Xiao Tang sat down, Xiao Yingying suddenly handed her a wine cup.
The red liquid in the wine glass swirled gently twice, and at the same time, a fishy, foul odor wafted out.
You can tell it's dog blood just by smelling it.
Xiao Tang looked at her coldly, and surprisingly accepted it without hesitation.
His gaze, however, was much more somber than before.
What, are you trying to say you can tell I'm possessed by a demon?
[Now you're using dog blood to exorcise the demons from me?]
[Little brat, I've been using that kind of convincing nonsense for ages!]
"Sister, I just came down from the mountain and I saw a black aura around you. You've been possessed by something unclean. Please don't move around."
Oh wow.
That's exactly the explanation I was given.
There's absolutely nothing new about it.
Xiao Tang smiled coldly to himself, raised the wine cup in his hand, and suddenly splashed the blood onto Xiao Yingying's face!
The pungent smell of dog blood filled the air, catching Xiao Yingying off guard.
She stared at Xiao Tang in astonishment, not wiping the blood from her face, letting the dog blood flow down her face.
Even though she was in a sorry state, she was still a step too slow.
Xiao Tang clapped her little paws and said calmly, "Little sister, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're the one who should be careful!"
"There will be bloodshed tonight, so be careful."
Already angry, Xiao Yingying's eyes widened like saucers as she slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Xiao Tang, you've gone too far!"
She pointed a trembling finger at Xiao Tang's nose, "I can see it now, you must be possessed by a demon."
"Today I will make you, you monster, reveal your true form!"
With a shout of anger, she immediately stuck a talisman on Xiao Tang's forehead!
Everyone stared wide-eyed, waiting for Xiao Tang to reveal her true form.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Tang acted as if nothing had happened, tearing off the talisman and chuckling softly.
I tore it up casually.
Everything was as if it had never happened.
She seemed calm, but the next moment she threw herself into Di Jingling's arms and turned into a whiny little monster.
"Waaaah, my husband, this woman is so wicked! She actually stuck a talisman on me!"
After saying that, she rubbed against the man's chest and said, "I'm so scared."
[Xiao Yingying is so stupid, no wonder that scumbag Duke Xiao is so fond of Xiao Rourou.]
You won't know until you compare; the difference is astonishing.
The seemingly innocent female lead is indeed slightly better than Xiao Yingying.
Xiao Yingying looked utterly defeated as she glared at Xiao Tang.
"Stop pretending!"
She finished her angry rebuke, but before she could make any further move, she was stopped by Duke Xiao's rebuke.
"Yingying! Sit down!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? In front of the Regent, you've utterly disgraced the Xiao family!"
Xiao Yingying's eyes welled up with tears as she was scolded by her own father, who usually doted on her the most.
She blamed all the mistakes on Xiao Tang.
If it weren't for Xiao Tang, where would all of this come from?
Xiao Rourou gently tugged at her sleeve, telling her not to do anything rash.
"Yingying, sit down quickly, the Regent will be angry."
More than angry, the regent's face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water.
Xiao Tang caught a glimpse of the two sisters' expressions out of the corner of her eye and chuckled to herself.
Her acting is far inferior to Xiao Rourou's.
"Apologize to the Princess, or else the hand that stuck the talisman on will be crippled!"
