Chapter 191: Quarrel
Sun Jiaojiao had only just walked into the garden when she ran into her old flame, Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi had been stabbed in the chest and had returned from the water prison, a hair's breadth from death. His complexion was even paler than before. Standing under the vicious sun, Sun Jiaojiao actually felt a wave of pity for him.
This man with his fickle, gloomy temperament was truly toxic. Sun Jiaojiao clearly warned herself to stay far away from him, yet every time she saw him, she couldn't help but get a little closer, and then a little closer still.
Obviously, Xiao Yi had seen her too.
Xiao Yi's face darkened. He turned, preparing to leave.
This time, Sun Jiaojiao exploded. She hadn't even hidden from him, and he dared to hide from her?
Sun Jiaojiao hiked up her skirt, rushed forward, and blocked his path. "Where are you going?"
Xiao Yi froze, thought for a moment, and didn't answer her. He just leaped, using his lightness skill to fly away from her, leaving the unsuccessful Sun Jiaojiao alone, stomping her feet.
"Damn it!"
Sun Jiaojiao angrily kicked a rock.
But the rock was hard and stinky. Not only did it not budge, but it also hurt her foot.
"What's his problem! So heartless after fucking! He turns hostile just like that." Sun Jiaojiao cursed as she sullenly returned the way she came, thinking, "Forget it, forget it. I'll just go back and eat some lychees to cool off."
Eating lychees in this dynasty was no easy feat. They had to be rushed 800 li to the capital, packed in ice. Only then could the nobles in the capital get a bite of fresh lychees. A single string of fresh lychees could sell for a sky-high price in the capital.
Sun Jiaojiao loved lychees. The Minister's Residence hadn't been so extravagant, so she couldn't eat them. Only after marrying into the Crown Prince's Residence could she unscrupulously eat the freshest lychees in the entire capital.
If there was any trouble that a string of lychees couldn't solve, then two strings would do.
Sure enough, after a string of lychees went down her stomach, Sun Jiaojiao's anger dissipated by half.
Once she calmed down, she thought of a good way to prank Xiao Yi.
"Yu'er, go summon the guard captain, Xiao Yi. Say that I have business with him." Hmph. No matter what, she was his master. His deed of sale was in her hands. Did he think it was up to him whether he wanted to see her or not? The more he didn't want to see her, the more she would insist on seeing him.
Yu'er received the order and went to summon Xiao Yi.
Who knew that this Xiao Yi was so stubborn? He dug in his heels and said if he wouldn't see her, he wouldn't see her. Yu'er, having no tongue, couldn't speak. She gestured anxiously, frantic.
The other guards saw this awkward situation and knew full well that Xiao Yi was having a spat with the Crown Princess. They all ran over to persuade him.
Xiao Yi hated it when others interfered in his private affairs.
With a wave of his sleeve, he pushed Yu'er out the door. "I'm not going! I said I'm not going! A guard's duty is to guard the courtyard. Tell Her Highness the Crown Princess not to bother summoning a useless little guard like me if it's not important."
Yu'er was so angered by him she burst into tears.
The other guards exchanged glances and hurried over to comfort Yu'er, who was caught in the middle.
"Um, Sister Yu'er, don't cry. We don't know what's gotten into Big Brother today, what's making him act crazy. We'll go in and try to persuade him again."
The one speaking was Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu was a master of disguise and had the best temperament among the guards.
With him taking the lead, the other guards chimed in. Only then did Yu'er feel slightly better and stop her sniffling.
But talking was one thing. They took turns going in to persuade him, but all of them were kicked out by Xiao Yi. There was nothing they could do.
"Sixth Brother, what do we do?"
"Boss is furious. Being this stubborn with the Crown Princess isn't a solution..."
"Sixth Brother, I have an idea. Why don't you... disguise yourself as the Boss and go deal with the Crown Princess?"
"Yeah, Sixth Brother, you go handle it. Say a few soft words, and maybe they'll just bury the hatchet."
Xiao Liu repeatedly refused. "No! What if the Crown Princess asks me to... that?"
He meant, what if she mistook him for Xiao Yi and asked him to warm her bed? He was still a virgin!
