Chapter 2674: Steamed

Zi Xia: “You… you peeked into the young lady’s bedroom.”

Xiao Jiu was suddenly speechless. It wasn’t intentional just now. It reflexively glanced when it heard Zi Xia say the master was bathing.

“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?” Zi Xia seemed to have caught something, turning to Xuexue and accusing, “Young lady, see, it admitted it itself, it was peeping at you showering.”

Xuexue looked at Xiao Jiu with a serious face and asked, “Xiao Jiu, tell me, how many times has it been?”

Xiao Jiu was baffled. What does the master mean? How many times? It didn’t understand at all!

Zi Xia kindly translated, “The young lady is asking you, how many times have you peeked at her showering?”

Xiao Jiu suddenly understood, immediately exploding, “Hey, hey, stop talking nonsense. Who peeked at the master showering? Not even once, okay?”

Zi Xia couldn’t help but add fuel to the fire: “Young lady, don’t believe it, I saw its peeking action just now, very skilled, definitely not a newbie.”

Xiao Jiu: “…!”

Seriously, the tigress’s craftiness is amazing. It’s definitely holding a grudge from last time when it made her run several streets, causing trouble for it this time.

Xiao Jiu felt like crying without tears. It would’ve been better not to offend Zi Xia at first.

No wonder humans often say women and petty people are hard to deal with. It’s true; women really shouldn’t be offended. They’re too vengeful; no, their revenge lust is too strong.

What now? Only to slowly digest the bitter fruit it planted for itself.

Xiao Jiu looked at Zi Xia resentfully, unable to think of a way to argue back.

Zi Xia smiled triumphantly, thinking, “Can’t I handle you? Let’s see if you’ll dare to act recklessly again.”

Xiao Jiu actually intended to peep at her showering, and Xuexue was furious, immediately ordering Xiao Jiu to reflect in a cage for three days as punishment.

Shortly after, the entire War Prince’s Mansion heard a sharp scream…

“Ah… no… save me! Humans are too scary, I want to go back to the forest! Ah wuuu…!”

Xiao Jiu was trapped in a cage, hanging at the entrance of Xuexue’s room.

“If you dare scream again, I’ll steam you right away!” Xuexue said after finishing her wash and dressing up.

Xiao Jiu immediately used its wings to cover its beak, not daring to speak. Master, you are too scary, can you be a bit gentler? Careful, or the Prince might divorce you!

Just then, Long Rui came over, seeing Xiao Jiu locked in a cage, feeling curious because the wife usually dotes on this little bird. Why is it locked up now?

“Wife, why is Xiao Jiu locked up?”

“Not locked, not locked at all.” Xuexue blatantly lied, absolutely not letting Long Rui know Xiao Jiu attempted to peep at her showering. At that time, Xiao Jiu probably wouldn’t have a feather left, for the sake of Xiao Jiu’s bird life, better keep it from Long Rui.

That guy, once jealous, she couldn’t control him either.

“Isn’t it…? Could there be something wrong with my eyes?” Long Rui deliberately rubbed his eyes, pointing at the listless Xiao Jiu in the cage, teasingly smiling.

Xuexue didn’t blush or get out of breath, “Xiao Jiu is tired, taking a rest. I’m giving it a cage for rest, it’s more comfortable this way.”

No, it’s not like that, I don’t like sleeping in a cage at all! Xiao Jiu screamed inwardly, helplessly, it didn’t dare to speak out. If the bad guys found out it peeked at the master showering, it probably wouldn’t even have a chance to explain before being steamed directly.

How did it get so unlucky? Of all the people to offend, why offend Zi Xia?

It’s innocent, really innocent, but explanations are useless. No one believes it, it can only swallow this bitter fruit alone.
