Chapter 2678: Rain Listening Courtyard

“You tigress, go ahead and yell! Xiao Jiu totally snuck out, what can you do about it? Ahahahaha…” Xiao Jiu’s provocative laughter rang out.

“Bang bang…!”

“Young Miss, Young Miss, hurry and come out, Xiao Jiu has snuck out.”

The thunderous knocking suddenly sounded. Long Rui’s face went dark in an instant. A servant who only knows how to screw over her master—he really wanted to sell her off, but unfortunately Zi Xia wasn’t within his control.

Long Rui: “My wife, don’t you feel your personal Maid talks a bit too much?”

Xuexue stood up, ready to go outside and take a look, answering as she walked: “It’s fine. A girl should be lively and cute.”

Lively, sure. You sure she’s cute?

Long Rui had no choice but to trot along right behind her.

“Creak!” Xuexue yanked the door open and asked, “What’s going on?”

Zi Xia pointed at Xiao Jiu on the roof and said, “Young Miss, Xiao Jiu snuck out! Hurry and punish it.”

Xuexue: “I’m the one who let it out.”

Zi Xia blurted out, “Then why did it sneak a peek at you taking a bath? And you still let it out.”

Zi Xia had just finished speaking when a furious roar exploded from behind her: “What? That damn bird actually dared peek at my wife bathing?”

That damn Maid, only knows how to set it up. Xiao Jiu was on the verge of tears: “Prince, you’ve got it wrong, you’ve got it all wrong, this is all a misunderstanding.”

With that, it flapped frantically over to Xuexue’s side. The Big Bad Egg was angry—the roof wasn’t safe anymore. Better stick close to its master; being near her was safer. It feared no one but the master’s anger. Using her as a shield was definitely the right move.

Long Rui’s face was black as the bottom of a pot: “Stupid bird, still trying to take advantage of my wife, aren’t you? Get lost.”

After fussing the whole night, he finally understood why his wife had locked this damn bird up—turns out it was being a little pervert, and she got mad, so she shut it in.

Xiao Jiu: “No, if Master can’t see, you’ll torture me.”

Long Rui: “Believe it or not, I’ll throw you out right now?”

Xiao Jiu instantly turned its head to look at Xuexue: “Master, the Big Bad Egg is bullying me.”

Unexpectedly, Xuexue said, “It’s fine. Even if he throws you out, you won’t die from the fall. Don’t you know how to fly? Just fly back up.”

“Master!” The voice dragged out long and pitiful.

Long Rui moved in on it with a gloomy air: “You pissed off my wife; going to her won’t help you now.”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Xiao Jiu in one go.

Xiao Jiu immediately started squawking loudly: “Ah… help, help, the Big Bad Egg is killing me! Master, Master, save me!”

Long Rui dangled the pitiful Xiao Jiu in one hand in front of his eyes, and said darkly, “Stupid bird, you’ve got some nerve, daring to peek at my wife taking a bath. Is it because I haven’t straightened you out in too long, so you got bored and your lust kicked in?”

Xiao Jiu’s head was down and feet up, hanging upside down from Long Rui’s hand. Its little body twisted non-stop: “Prince Sir, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. Xiao Jiu didn’t peek at Master bathing, it’s that tigress Zi Xia who twisted the truth and spouted nonsense.”

Long Rui: “So we’ve wronged you, have we!”

Xiao Jiu nodded frantically: “Yes yes, the Prince misunderstood, it’s all a misunderstanding. Hurry and put Xiao Jiu down, Xiao Jiu’s about to have a brain hemorrhage!”

Being held upside down was way too unbearable!

Seeing how pitiful it looked, Xuexue also said, “Prince, put it down.”

Long Rui was full of jealousy, and said sourly, “My wife, it tried to peek at you bathing. It deserves to die.”

Xuexue: “It didn’t. I hadn’t even started bathing when Zi Xia spotted it.”

“Doesn’t matter. Do something wrong, you get punished!” As soon as Long Rui finished, he casually flung it…

“Whoosh…!”

Xiao Jiu shot out of the Rain Listening Courtyard like an arrow leaving the string…
