She got nervous.
Without hesitation, he pointed to the bed in the distance and gritted his teeth, "Under the bed!"
Ning Cang's eyes widened.
"What?"
How could the dignified Marquis of Dingbei hide under the bed?
If this gets out in the future, what will become of us? Wouldn't it be a complete disgrace to Marquis Dingbei!
Faced with Xiao Tang's unyielding demeanor, Ning Cang finally gave in.
He... had no choice.
After all, Hao Fang was his savior.
"Okay!" He gritted his teeth and finally dragged himself under the bed.
Xiao Tang deliberately lowered the curtain, which also conveniently covered the gap under the bed, so that no one would see it later.
creak—
Just then, the door opened.
The man was dressed in black, enveloped by the cold wind outside.
Xiao Tang had just finished tidying up the bed curtains.
Hearing the noise, she quickly turned her face, "Husband... Your Highness."
[Oh my god, I almost called him "husband"! If Ning Cang had found out I was the Regent's Consort, I would have been in deep trouble.]
The man over there had already started walking towards her.
"Hmm." He didn't expose her, his gaze silently sweeping across the room.
Emma, what are you looking at?
I don't think I have anything interesting here.
"Did you rest well last night?" Di Jingling lowered his gaze and spoke slowly, as if having a casual conversation.
Xiao Tang grunted twice.
She stared at the man's handsome face.
Good grief, why didn't he find my reaction strange?
She laughed quickly, took his arm, and pulled him outside.
"Your Highness, there was thunder and lightning last night, it was so frightening, I...I was so scared."
Whether it was Di Jingling's intention to cooperate or not, she managed to pull the man out of the bedroom without breaking a sweat.
When Xiao Tang reached the door, she made sure to close it.
She said with a smile, "I'm so scared! Is the prince here to take me back to the manor?"
Feigning delight, she took his hand and led him out of the Imperial Preceptor's residence, into the carriage.
That's strange...
The man didn't suspect anything at all.
He rode with her in the carriage and ordered, "Return to the manor."
Yan Shi was completely unaware of the unusual atmosphere between the couple.
He was in charge of driving the horses, so he didn't ask any further questions.
At this moment, silence fell outside.
Ning Cangcai struggled to crawl out from under the bed.
He shook his robes and hummed somewhat dejectedly.
I never imagined I would encounter such an embarrassing situation one day!
And right under Di Jingling's nose!
She absolutely couldn't let that man see her in such a humiliating state, otherwise she might be ridiculed by Di Jingling for the rest of her life.
...
Inside the carriage.
Xiao Tang placed her hands on her knees, looking like a sweet little girl.
Why is the air pressure so low inside the carriage?
[Is the main villain upset because I didn't come home last night?]
She finally decided to soothe him.
She slowly moved closer to him.
"Husband, did you sleep well last night?"
His displeasure was actually being suppressed.
But this girl just had to get close to him.
His murderous aura suddenly intensified.
Xiao Tang was so frightened that she jumped and moved to the side.
It seems he really didn't sleep well last night, otherwise why would he be so irritable this morning?
"Is the Princess sleeping well at the Imperial Preceptor's residence?"
"Ah...it's good, it's good."
After he finished speaking, the man's face became even more gloomy, as if it could drip water.
He turned to look at her with a sinister gaze, then suddenly laughed, "Is that so? It seems the Princess doesn't need me."
【well? 】
Why does this sound so awkward?
What do you mean by "I don't need you"? I... I really don't need you, but if you need me, that's enough.
"Stop the car." Suddenly, the man shouted in a low voice.
Yan Shi quickly reined in his horse.
【Huh? No way? You're upset? You're going to kick me off the carriage?】
"Then... I'll leave?"
Just as Xiao Tang was about to leave, someone grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her back down.
The man said in a muffled voice, "I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he got off the carriage and, ignoring Xiao Tang's dumbfounded look, walked away...?
Yan Shi looked at Xiao Tang in disbelief, asking in a questioning tone, "Your Highness... what... happened?"
How would I know?
Xiao Tang was baffled.
It seems the main villain didn't sleep well last night, otherwise he wouldn't have been so angry so early in the morning.
Harmful.
What to do? Without her, the villain can't even get a proper night's sleep.
What a heartbreaking situation this grown-up is.
"Then..." Yan Shishi couldn't figure out what the couple had quarreled about this time.
Xiao Tang waved her hand, "It's okay, I'll walk too. I'll go find him."
After tearing off the disguise on her face, she caught up with Di Jingling.
The main reason is that I don't want to be seen arguing with the villain on the street while wearing Hao Fang's face.
It could easily lead to misunderstandings.
She tugged at Di Jingling's sleeve.
"My husband~"
It was still that soft, sweet voice.
It's so soft it touches your heart.
The sullen man suddenly stopped in his tracks.
At this time of day, pedestrians gradually appeared on the street, most of them out doing business.
She hooked her arm around his sleeve and gently shook it playfully, "My lord, I know you didn't sleep well last night, so how about I keep you company tonight?"
A passerby happened to be walking by and couldn't help but glance at her a couple of times.
"My God, the world is going to the dogs."
An older woman sighed, covered her face, and walked away.
