The front hall of Ningguo Mansion was very quiet.

Duke Ningguo and Xie Yuanfeng, who were sitting in the main seat, had solemn expressions on their faces, and Xie Junyao, who was sitting at the lower left, also had a sullen look on his face.

Xiao Yunxi pulled Xie Yu to sit opposite her, lowered her head, and impatience flashed in her eyes.

"Princess," Xia He walked in from outside, "Prince Dingyuan sent someone to deliver something."

I saw the servant behind carrying in an iron cage with a ball of white fur inside.

The white fur ball moved, and when I looked closely, I saw it was a little rabbit.

"This petite rabbit is really pretty." Xiao Yunxi was very surprised. "It looks like there is not much meat on its body. Can it be roasted and eaten?"

"It should be possible..." Xie Yu whispered, "Just like a squab, spread with honey, roasted until crispy, or boiled into soup?"

Xia He was silent for a moment, "Princess, the prince said that this is for you to keep for fun and to entertain yourself..."

"..."

"..."

"Nannan," Xie Yuanfeng said angrily, "Since this is a gift from your future son-in-law, you should take it and take good care of it. You can eat it when it's fat."

When Xie Junyao heard the words "future son-in-law", his face became even uglier. It was obviously him who met Xiao Yunxi first, so why did he get to know that unlucky guy first?

"Aunt, you know that I am attracted to cousin Yunxi and would like to marry her as my principal wife."

Xie Yuanfeng curled her lips, "Oh? Since you loved Nannan so much, why did you watch the Queen send her to the Zhennan Palace to suffer a few years ago?

Since you loved your daughter so much, why did you take in seven, eight, nine concubines and maids within two years?

Since you like Nannan so much, why did you help Marquis Wu'an to find a legitimate identity for that bitch Lin?

Since you like Nannan, how come no one knows about it except you? "

Xie Junyao's face turned pale and he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

Xie Yuanfeng chuckled, "Can't you answer? Then what are you qualified to stand here and question me?

The Queen and I have always been at odds with each other, if my daughter becomes your princess, won't she let her own mother-in-law torture her to death?"

Seeing Xie Junyao lowering her head, she drank a sip of hot tea to moisten her throat and continued, "I heard that the concubine of the Minister of Justice entered your house as a concubine three months ago, and you beat her up a few days ago because she broke the rules of sleeping with you?

The same goes for your concubine. Just because she said the wrong thing in front of the Queen, you punished her by slapping her dozens of times. Is she deaf now?

It seems like the concubines in your Prince Duan's mansion become disabled every now and then. Is it because of bad feng shui, or are you a bad person?"

"I am just a concubine. My husband has the final say on life and death, honor and disgrace!"

Xie Junyao looked at Xiao Yunxi nervously, "My legal wife is someone who will live and die with me. We can't be compared!"

"Didn't you also break the leg of your previous princess and send her to the royal temple for asceticism? So she is no longer your first wife?"

"She persecuted the concubine out of jealousy and drugged me, so I can't tolerate it! My cousin Yun Xi is gentle and generous, with a gentle temperament. How could she be as vicious and rude as Chen?"

While they were talking, Xiao Yunxi held the little rabbit in her arms, stroking it gently, with great affection.

She pinched the bunny's soft ears and whispered, "When I was little, I broke one of your teeth, but I never found where the tooth fell. Now that I think about it, could it be in your brain?

That makes you so stupid?"

"Yun Xi?!"

Xie Junyao really didn't expect that Xiao Yunxi would speak to him like this.

"Xie Junyao, there are three things I hate in my life. First, I hate men who are unfaithful to their wives. Second, I hate men who humiliate and beat their wives and concubines. Third, I hate men who are self-righteous.

Over the years, I have only met two men who embody all three qualities: one is Lu Jingting, and the other is you!

If a man like this falls into my hands, I will beat him to death!"

Xie Junyao's eyes were red. He didn't understand why Xiao Yunxi would compare him with Lu Jingting!

Obviously... Obviously he has been protecting her in the dark...

"You...really have no feelings for me at all?"

Xiao Yunxi felt a little nauseous. Why was this man so difficult to deal with? He looked like he was deeply in love and would remain loyal until death, but yesterday he welcomed three new concubines with great fanfare. It was really disgusting!

"Your Majesty, I, Xiao Yunxi, am a germaphobe. I don't like to use the same set of bowls and chopsticks or drink the same glass of water as others," she looked at Xie Junyao, "I can't bear your deep affection, and I don't want to accept it!"

The old man is still sincere. His house is clean and tidy, and he is decisive and straightforward. It turns out that people who have experienced more years of experience are different.

"But Mo Ruochen is a star of misfortune. He killed his own parents! He is also cruel and ruthless. He has killed countless enemies and his hands are covered in blood. How can he be worthy of you!"

Xiao Yunxi's face turned cold, "Xie Junyao, the former King Dingyuan died fighting for his country, and his wife volunteered to be buried with him. If you really count it, they died for your father's kingdom!

He went to the battlefield to fight at the age of seventeen, and all the blood on his hands was from enemies who had insulted the people of Dali and trespassed into the territory of Dali. The blood on his hands is honor!

The Mohists have been loyal for generations, and their loyalty is deep in their bones. They will not tolerate your slander and insults here!"

Seeing Xiao Yunxi defending Mo Ruochen like this, Xie Junyao smiled bitterly and left dejectedly.

Xie Yu was a little worried, "Changle, he is the legitimate prince after all, will you completely offend him by doing this?"

"Should I kowtow to him out of gratitude? That would be a disaster!"

Xiao Yunxi teased the little rabbit, "Fifth cousin, don't worry, look how cute it is."

Seeing that the eldest princess and Duke Ning were also looking at them with smiles on their faces, Xie Yu slowly relaxed.

Xie Junyao has the queen behind him, but Xiao Yunxi also has the eldest princess and Prince Dingyuan behind him.

Xie Junyao is not the only legitimate prince, nor is he the only prince.

Who knows what will happen in the future?

"Oops, these are flowers, you can't feed them to rabbits!"

Xie Yu held Xiao Yunxi's hand and exclaimed, "It's still a little cub, it just needs to drink some goat milk."

Xia He quickly went to the kitchen to get goat milk, followed by Chun Xiao.

Chun Xiao held a kitchen knife in her hand and skillfully lifted the rabbit's ears. She gestured twice and said hesitantly, "Princess, this rabbit is too small. After removing the fur and draining the blood, there is not even half a plate of shredded meat. It's not enough to fill your teeth!"

Xia He turned her head away helplessly. She tried to stop him but failed. If King Dingyuan knew that the rabbit had been slaughtered, the consequences...tsk tsk, I couldn't imagine it.

Xie Yu liked this soft and tender little white rabbit very much. He snatched it back and held it in his arms. "This is not edible, Changle. How about not eating it?"

If rabbits are not eaten, what else can they be used for?

Braised rabbit, roasted rabbit, spicy rabbit head, which one is not a delicious dish to go with rice!

Xiao Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Fifth cousin, do you like this little rabbit so much that you want to raise it?"

Xie Yu hugged the little rabbit tightly and nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Xiao Yunxi waved her hands helplessly, "Okay, then keep it. I won't be planning on taking care of this rabbit for now."

He glanced at her regretfully and said, "Xia He, tomorrow you go to Dingyuan Palace and tell them to send fat rabbits. Skinny ones are not tasty!"

Xia He was helpless. Would King Dingyuan get angry? Could she come back alive?
