Chapter 2606: Nonsense

"Go away, scram to the side, usually you can’t even fart, why are you causing trouble at a critical moment?"

The steward was annoyed and kicked over, then turned to Xuexue with a smile: "Hehe...! Princess Consort, don’t listen to his nonsense. Even if Miss Gu is really pregnant, whether the child in her belly belongs to the Prince is still up for debate!"

Zi Xia also agreed: "Miss, the steward is right, let’s talk about it when the Prince returns!"

"Wait for what? The big jerk cheated, that’s that." Xiao Jiu landed on the table, chirping away.

Xuexue, already very annoyed, immediately stepped out.

Zi Xia called from behind: "Hey hey hey! Miss, where are you going?"

Xuexue: "They already have a child, why should I stay around here? Of course, I’m going back to the General’s Mansion."

Xiao Jiu fluttered its wings and cheered: "Good riddance, good riddance, let the big jerk cry."

Zi Xia gritted her teeth, glaring at Xiao Jiu, cursing: "You stinky bird, are you intentionally making trouble?"

Xiao Jiu looked aggrieved: "Why are you yelling at me, tigress? It’s not me who got that ugly woman pregnant."

Zi Xia was almost driven mad by it, seeing the Miss about to walk far away, she quickly shouted loudly: "Miss, wait for me."

She hurriedly ran a few steps, then suddenly remembered something, turned to Xiao Jiu fiercely and said: "Stinky bird, you wait. If the Miss doesn’t come back, beware of your feathers."

Xiao Jiu stubbornly replied: "What’s wrong with my feathers? They’re fine."

It deliberately fluttered its wings a few times to show Zi Xia, saying: "Look, such beautiful, fluffy feathers."

Zi Xia made a grab with her five fingers, fiercely making a plucking motion: "Pluck feathers, roast bird."

After saying this, she ran out hastily, yelling while running: "Miss, wait for your maid."

"Crazy, why blame me? It’s not me who got that ugly woman pregnant, steward, don’t you agree?" Xiao Jiu tilted its bird head to ask the steward.

The steward looked up at the beam, looked left, looked right, but didn’t look at it, muttering to himself: "The day is getting late, the Prince should be back soon. Better go prepare the menu."

After saying this, he hurriedly left.

"What does it mean?" Xiao Jiu flew up, muttering to itself: "No one cares about me, I’ll go play with Big Worm."

In a blink, only a few maids were left in the hall.

Everyone was very impressed with Xiao Jiu’s language skills.

This bird is not only unusually smart, but can talk back, and speak ill, oh my! Better to offend anyone than to offend this bird, it’s so darn terrifying.

When Long Rui returned, the steward told him Xuexue had gone back to the General’s Mansion, he didn’t pay much attention, thinking Xuexue wanted to see her father, going back for a look was normal.

Who knew, the usually aloof steward followed behind Long Rui, pacing back and forth without leaving.

"Steward, do you still have something to say?" Long Rui also sensed something was not right with him.

"Prince, Miss Gu she... she...!"

"What’s wrong now? Did she bully you? Steward, it’s not like I’m saying it, but if you can’t even win against a woman, do you feel any shame complaining to me?"

"No... it’s...!"

"Is it or isn’t it?"

"Oh dear, Prince, you’ve misunderstood my meaning."

"Then what’s the meaning?"

"Miss Gu is pregnant." The steward gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, bluntly revealing the truth, hoping the Prince wouldn’t be too shocked.

Long Rui absent-mindedly replied: "She’s pregnant, so she’s pregnant! What’s it got to do with me?"
