Before anyone else could answer, Crown Prince Jing quickly pointed to the big bird on the wall: "The one that robbed my jade pendant is the one raised by Wu Shisun?!"
This guy even stole someone else's jade pendant?
Wu Chao's brows twitched wildly.
...If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have said it so quickly.
But it is unrealistic to distance ourselves from each other now. In order to save face, we can only say: "Tianmu, come down."
The big bird obeyed and flew down.
"哐"——
The jade pendant fell from the claws of the big bird and shattered when it hit the ground.
"..."
Looking at the jade pendant that fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, everything was quiet for a moment.
Xu Mingshi looked at the big bird that landed steadily at the base of the wall. He felt that the bird was a bit ugly, but it was quite pleasing to the eye.
"Third Eye."
Wu Chao tried his best to control the anger in his tone.
Don't think he can't see it, this guy did it on purpose.
what is this?
Deliberately causing trouble to retaliate against him?
Big Bird shrank his neck in aggrieved manner and walked step by step behind Xu Mingyi.
Wu Chao's back molars clenched.
A vicious biological father makes his children so fearful that they seek protection from well-meaning people - it’s starting again, right?
"My jade pendant, this..."
Prince Jing looked at the broken jade in the hands of his entourage and sighed angrily. However, he turned to look at Wu Chao, who was born with a cold face, but could not say anything to blame.
First of all, although they are both princes and eldest sons, and he is even a serious descendant of the Xie family, who would not be able to think of having trouble with the Dingnan Prince's Mansion, which has a profound background and military power?
A hundred years ago, when the ancestors of the Xie family did not know where to make a living, the Wu family was already a famous family.
To put it bluntly, Wu Jun was willing to accept the throne in order to give the late emperor face, so that he could sit on the throne with peace of mind.
Besides, he couldn't do something as graceless as arguing with a bird in front of Miss Xu, right?
Prince Jing held his breath, but Wu Chao expressed his position: "The fault of this matter is Wu's improper restraint. After returning home, someone will definitely give double the silver of this jade pendant. If the prince only wants
Jade pendant, please give Wu some time, and he will definitely find a similar piece of jade pendant and return it to the prince tomorrow."
Prince Jing quickly waved his hand.
"Wu Shisun is too polite. It's just a jade pendant, not worth mentioning."
He knew that the Wu family was rich and powerful. Although his jade pendant was not an ordinary item, it was certainly not a rare thing to the Wu family——
It would be better to take this opportunity to leave a good impression on Wu Shisun as a generous and cheerful person.
Wu Chao didn't say anything when he heard this.
He must pay back things. He never likes to owe people favors.
Prince Jing took it as his acquiescence, and quickly turned to Xu Mingyi with a smile and said: "Don't worry, Miss Xu, it doesn't matter if the jade pendant is gone, my words just now are still true. If Miss Xu has something to do in the future, I can use it."
, there is no need for any tokens, just ask people to pass on the message."
Wu Chao raised his eyebrows.
According to what you say, Prince Jing just now intentionally gave his personal jade pendant to Xu Mingyi as a token?
That jade pendant almost became evidence that confirmed his crime of murdering the prince——
At this time, he wanted to give this unlucky thing to Xu Mingyi?
That's right, the young man didn't think this jade pendant was valuable or special, he just felt it was very unlucky.
Then looking at the big bird hiding behind the girl, he suddenly felt that the guy didn't seem to deserve a beating anymore.
"I appreciate the prince's kindness."
Xu Mingyi simply declined, looked at the coachman leading the horse, and reminded: "The Crown Prince's carriage has arrived."
Prince Jing looked back at the coachman who was leading the horse under Xu Mingshi's instruction, and said: "Then... Miss Xu, we will see you later."
After saying goodbye to Wu Chao and Xu Mingshi, he reluctantly got into the carriage and left.
Seeing the carriage go away, Xu Mingshi relaxed.
Finally sent away.
Just as he turned around and took two steps to return home, he suddenly stopped.
No, there seems to be another one——
Xu Mingshi turned back to look at Wu Shisun.
Wu Shisun came to find the bird, but why did the bird show no intention of leaving after he found it?
"I wonder if Miss Xu can lend me a moment to speak?" Wu Chao looked at Xu Mingyi and said.
Xu Mingyi nodded without hesitation.
Seeing the two of them walking away together, Xu Mingshi resisted the urge to follow and listen.
"Master Wu can speak now."
Stopping under an old willow tree, the girl's serious look fell into Wu Chao's eyes, making him feel more confident.
Very good, Miss Xu looked like she just wanted to talk business with him.
"It's not a serious matter." He said first.
Xu Mingyi waited quietly for him to continue, but her hands clenched into fists unconsciously.
If they were still in need of beatings, she couldn't guarantee that she could still control her overly thoughtful fists.
Wu Chao felt a little cold on his back for no reason.
"Perhaps I misunderstood Miss Xu about what happened before. If my words or actions were offensive, I hope Miss Xu can forgive me."
He thought about it carefully last night and realized that Miss Xu's overtures were probably just to cooperate with him, and that he was out of touch.
The girls who admire him are those girls, and Miss Xu is Miss Xu. He should not compare Miss Xu with them.
Xu Mingyi was surprised to hear this.
Wu Shisun actually said something back?
It's just that if the word "or" is removed, it will probably be more palatable.
"It's okay, I don't take it to heart." The girl said generously.
Wu Chao looked keenly at the half-covered and half-exposed fist in the girl's sleeve, which was slowly loosened.
"..."
It doesn’t look like he doesn’t take it to heart…
The young man secretly thought it was dangerous.
"Master Wu, if there is nothing else, I will go back first.
She had not yet decided whether to tell Wu Chao about the words she heard in the East Palace today——
"Okay, Miss Xu, walk slowly."
The tone of the young man who had untied his heart was less distant and cold than before.
Xu Mingyi stepped onto the stone steps in front of her house and looked back thoughtfully.
The big bird also followed her up the stone steps step by step.
Wu Chao couldn't bear it and closed his eyes.
How long will this bird continue to embarrass him——
But if you go to catch him, you will probably not be able to catch him easily, which will only make him lose face.
"If you don't want to follow me back today, you won't have to go back again in the future." The young man looked at Big Bird's back and threatened him coldly.
The big bird stopped.
After a moment, it flapped its wings and flew in his direction.
Wu Chao's face softened slightly.
It's quite a bit conscientious.
Wrong, wrong direction——
In sight, the big bird flew over the wall of the Zhenguo Palace, and soon turned into a black shadow, disappearing without any regret within the high walls of the Zhenguo Palace.
It was as if what the young man just said was not a threat to it, but a fulfillment.
"..."
The atmosphere was tense and awkward for a while.
Xu Mingyi couldn't bear to look at Wu Chao's face, so she could only say: "In that case, I will take care of Wu Shisun for a few days."
"...Thank you."
Wu Chao didn't say anything more, not wanting to stay for even a moment longer, he turned around, mounted his horse and left.
"That fat vulture...why does it seem to be so close to you?"
Walking on the road in the front yard, Xu Mingshi asked tentatively.
He didn't even know when Xu Mingyi met Wu Shisun, and they seemed to be very familiar with him.
"I don't know, maybe it's because I'm good-looking." Xu Mingyi replied.
Xu Mingshi: "Oh."
At this time, there was a faint sound of footsteps behind the two of them.
