"Sir, something bad has happened! The Madam is coming with the young master and a large group of people."
Song Shian calmly drank a sip of tea, then slowly put down the cup. "I'm here, so why are you so anxious?"
Hearing Song Shian's indifferent response, Gu Xiaoqiao's ears twitched and his eyes widened, staring curiously at the movement at the door.
Sure enough, a moment later, footsteps were heard, and then the door was pushed open, and a young woman in luxurious clothes walked in.
She was wearing a gorgeous brocade dress and had a beautiful face. Although she had a smile on her face, the smile did not reach her eyes, and there was a hint of hostility in her eyes.
Gu Xiaoqiao stared at her intently, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "This woman is quite good-looking, but how come the son she gave birth to doesn't look like her at all?"
Just as she was thinking about the comparison, the woman's eyes were like knives, sweeping across Gu Xiaoqiao sharply.
But that look only lasted for a moment. After meeting Song Shian's gaze, she put on a kind smile again.
"I heard that the prince adopted the cat that Miss Lu brought here?"
The person who spoke was the current mistress of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, Wu Xinyu.
"So what?" Song Shian leaned lazily on the back of the chair, with a bit of nonchalance in his tone, as if he didn't take this woman seriously at all.
When Wu Xinyu heard his arrogant tone, her expression changed slightly.
The nanny beside Wu couldn't help but complain, "How rude of you, my wife! My wife is the headmistress of the Yongchang Marquisate. You should address her respectfully as Mother, and not speak to her in this manner."
The nanny's voice irritated Gu Xiaoqiao's ears, and she subconsciously shrank her neck.
She didn't like the nanny's voice, which always had a sour taste and sounded very harsh.
However, Song Shian seemed not to have heard what the nanny said. He still looked at Wu Xinyuo leisurely, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"Call me mother?" He sneered, his tone tinged with mockery. "Mrs. Wu, do you think you deserve this title?"
"Also, now that we're alone in this mansion, Madam Wu doesn't need to pretend to be such a loving mother and a filial son."
Wu Xinyou pursed her lips and said in a calm voice, "It seems that the prince has a deep misunderstanding of me."
"What are you talking about, Madam? I have never had a good impression of you."
As Song Shian spoke, he unconsciously increased the strength of his grip on the teacup.
Wu Xinyuo couldn't help but frown as she looked at his undisguised disgust and hatred.
A feeling of displeasure rose in her heart.
Ever since she became the mistress of the house, everyone in the mansion has respected her very much. Who would show such an expression to her?
"It seems that the prince still resents me because of what happened back then, but it doesn't matter. There is still a lot of time. I believe that one day the prince will untie the knot in his heart."
At this point, she changed the subject and said, "But I came here today because I really need to take care of something."
"Rui'er! Come forward!"
Wu Xinyuo said this, turned around and waved to her son standing outside the door.
Hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed across Song Shian's eyes, and then his gaze fell on his younger brother.
He had long heard that Wu Xinyuo doted on his son very much, but he had never taken it to heart.
He thought that no matter how much he doted on his son, he was still just a child and would not do anything out of the ordinary.
But now it seems that he was wrong.
"Prince, take a look for yourself."
Wu Xinyu didn't look at him, but pulled her son in front of her and pointed at the scars on his body and said to him.
"All of this was done by the cat adopted by the prince."
Hearing this, Song Shian began to carefully examine the injuries on Song Xingrui's body.
It does look quite serious.
Not only were there scratches on his hands and neck, but there were also several bloodstains on his face.
Song Shian narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't know when my cat became so capable."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Song Xingrui.
Song Xingrui was frightened by his gaze and subconsciously took two steps back.
Everyone in the palace said that his brother, the prince, was a sickly person who would not live long, but for some reason, every time he met his brother's gaze, he felt a chill that penetrated his bones.
Song Shian looked at his evasive gaze and frowned slightly, "Are you afraid of me?"
Upon hearing this, Song Xingrui couldn't help but become even more frightened.
He shook his head and said timidly, "No, no."
Song Shian smiled and said, "If you don't have any, then why don't you dare look at me?"
Seeing her son being bullied by Song Shian, Wu was angry, but because she was the elder, she couldn't lose her temper and had to suppress her anger.
"Sir, these scars are all caused by your cat. I don't know what to do about this matter."
Hearing her mention this, Gu Xiaoqiao subconsciously looked towards Song Xingrui.
After Song Shian noticed the little thing's gaze in front of him, he reached out and touched her head to comfort her.
"Ma'am, you must be mistaken. My cat would never scratch anyone for no reason."
What he meant was that he did not believe Wu Xinyu's statement. Even if he was really caught, it must be Song Xingrui's fault first.
Wu Xinyu frowned slightly. She didn't want to argue with Song Shian about this matter, but she couldn't let her son suffer any injustice.
She took a deep breath and said patiently, "Prince, these scars are real. Do you think my son deliberately hurt himself to wrongly accuse a cat?"
"Ma'am, I didn't say your son intentionally hurt himself, but how can you be so sure it was my cat? It's possible the injuries were caused by another cat or another animal."
