"I..."

Ji Fu panicked, she didn't care how Tang Xiu knew, and quickly knelt on the ground begging for forgiveness and admitting her mistake.

Since she dared to do it, she knew that even if things were exposed, Tang Xiu wouldn't treat her any differently.

First, his foundation as prince isn't secure. Second, she is carrying his child now.

Granted, Tang Xiu wouldn't do anything to her, but this score was settled.

"Bring this maidservant down here."

Wisteria panicked and quickly begged for mercy, "Your Highness, please spare my life."

Tang Xiu didn't even glance at her.

"Your Highness, all the mistakes are mine. Ziting was only following my orders. Please forgive her this once."

Tang Xiu stood up and pinched Ji Fu's chin, with so much force that he wished to crush her. Ji Fu had never been treated like this before, the pain made her eyes water red.

But she couldn't elicit even a shred of sympathy from Tang Xiu with her current pitiful appearance. "Ji Fu, you know very well that I can't touch you now. Your mistake? Hehe... then let your people take responsibility for it."

"This time it's her, next time, whoever goes is just whoever."

Having said that, he waved his hand, signaling the guards to drag him away.

I wonder how Wisteria Field is doing. Ji Fu doesn't dare to think about it anymore.

Although she had followed him for many years and was a trusted confidante, Ji Fu still felt heartbroken. After all, there would never be another person so capable at her service.

She got up and said pitifully, "Your Highness, that Su Wen is nothing but a prostitute, born into lowliness. Are you not afraid of being ridiculed for doing this for her?"

"Bang!"

It's none of your business whether she is or isn't.

Tang Xiu coldly scanned her belly, that look made Ji Fu shiver, subconsciously touching her own stomach.

Tang Xiu had already left, and Ji Fu was helped by the maids to sit down. She seemed to be frozen, motionless.

It took a long time for things to calm down.

Only then did the maids feel reassured, for if their mistress was in trouble, they couldn't possibly be safe either.

Tang Xiu wanted to let Su Wen know that even if he didn't go in person, Su Wen would still be able to hear the news.

She just gave a cold smile, but there was no emotion in her eyes at all.

……

Lin Zhen returned the thousand-machine umbrella to Fu Jiujiu and told her what had happened last night.

"The girl from *Suwen* is truly a fortune teller, she even calculated her own danger. She's amazing."

As for Fu Jiujiu, she wouldn't doubt the existence of such capable people. "Is she alright?"

"Is this how you treat me, my lady?"

"Uncle Lin Zhen, you know I didn't mean it that way," Fu Jiu chirped at him reproachfully.

Lin Zhen wouldn't not know her, after all, she was a girl he had watched grow up from childhood, much like his own daughter. "It's nothing, just that she cut her hands this morning, saying she wanted revenge."

Fu Jiujiu thought about it, she knew someone was going to harm her and should also know who that person was.

"Such a delicate little girl, with such a deep wound on her hand, must have been in so much pain." Lin Zhen didn't mean anything else.

"I understood."

As soon as Lin Zhengan left, Xixihaha arrived.

Hiss and giggles are like the chirping children, though the chirping has been alive for a long time, it's not young anymore. It's equivalent to being in your seventies or eighties as a human. It should be enjoying its golden years.

Hee hee haa, that day caused Fu Jiujiu to go to the Jin Wangfu of Tang Xian's two birds, they are also the most intelligent one in a chirpy and clever brood.

Tang Xian was left behind, although he taught very well, but unfortunately he couldn't understand bird language and couldn't communicate.

Xi Xi Haha was dissatisfied with Fu Jiujiu opening the window slowly and started to complain.

Fujujiao waved her fist at the two little birds, and the two little birds shut up.

"You say the concubine in the Crown Prince's mansion was beaten?"

"Hee hee, nods. "Want to hear more? Give me that seed, or I won't tell you."

Haha agreed: "Don't say if you don't want to."

What they said were sunflower seeds, there's no way. Fu Jiujiu could only take out a handful and say, "Stay still, I'll pack them up, you guys deliver these to your parents."

Two little birds were still very filial. Fu Chi-chiu wrapped up a piece of cloth, as it was too much for them to carry, but what they sent was enough for their family of four to eat.

Well, it's time to speak up. Who will say it?

"We just watched that woman get beaten up and cry. It was too far away to hear."

Fujujiao fed them some spring water again and let them go.

The concubine was beaten, the timing was too coincidental. When put together, she understood.

However, what she didn't understand was that Tang Xiu was doing this because he liked Su Wen?

She couldn't tell if Su Wen disliked Tang Xiu, but why was Su Wen still willing to be close to her?

Two little birds packed a lot of delicious food and took it back. A family of four ate happily. When Tang Xian came back, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh, "Humans are inferior to birds."

The whole family has it, but he doesn't. That's not fair.

Then, he got up and walked to the next room.

These two houses share a wall, so of course they're close.

So-called shortcut is a small door.

The house is so big that Fu Jiujiu didn't manage to explore the whole thing this time, and she truly didn't know there was such a shortcut.

But who would have thought, King Jin was so cunning, instead of using the main gate, he went through the back door.

What delicious food are you making again?

Fujujiao was startled, looking at him with a resentful expression and shaking the steamed bun in her hand, "Custard-filled bun, want to try?"

"This…how come it's pitch black?"

Fujujiao used some ink and noodles, making the steamed buns into pig shapes. She even added ears and tails, making them look very interesting.

She picked up the last one left on the plate and offered it to Tang Xian, but he didn't take it. Instead, he grabbed her hand and put the half-eaten one she was holding into his mouth.

Fu Jiu Jiu was stunned. He actually ate what he had already eaten?

"Seeing you eat that so deliciously, I'll leave the last one for you."

He wouldn't dare fight her for food; she'd probably start acting like a spoiled child if he did.

"Then... then you'll eat what I've eaten too?"

Tang Xian didn't speak, just looked at her red lips. Fu Jiujiu realized she understood instantly...

To ease the awkwardness, she forced a smile and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, just a little bit sweet."

Even though he has eaten sweets for so many years, he still doesn't like them.

However, he is willing to eat with Fu Jiujiu.

Did you hear about what happened in Su Wen?

"Understood, Consort Ji. "

"Don't you know this?"

"Seems like you know too?" Tang Xian smiled. "Where did you hear about it?"

"I'm not hiding anything from him," Fu Jiu Jiu said with a laugh.

"No wonder, I just saw them enjoying a delicious meal."

Tang Xian casually grabbed her hand and placed it in his palm, "What else do you want to ask?"

"There's not much left to ask, it just feels like there are a lot of mysteries surrounding Suwen."

"Well, I'm looking into it too, but I can't find anything." Tang Xian said truthfully.

What about He Tianlin? Have there been any news about him either?

Tang Xian's eyes turned cold. "No, I want him dead even more than you."

Fu Jiujiu felt the pressure in her hand and squeezed back, "He must be in Tang Xiu's hands."
