The little fox was curled up inside the cage. Its posture was extremely uncomfortable, but it could endure it.
One man and one fox, they were both wasting time like this. No one wanted to be the first to speak, and no one was willing to admit defeat.
It wasn't until the evening when Senior Servant Lin placed all the dishes onto the table that the little guy's stomach began to growl in disappointment. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and protested in a low voice, "Chirp, chirp …"
"Chirp chirp?" Qiao Liangjiao's brows slightly raised. Her gaze fell upon the cage that had left a red mark on her body, but she wasn't soft-hearted in the slightest. "Since you've taken on a human form, speak human words!"
A hint of surprise flashed through the little thing's eyes. It opened its mouth in disbelief and said tentatively, "Put … "Let me out …"
Qiao Lianying slightly raised her hand and Ran Lan quickly walked to the side of the cage to carry the little fellow out. She caressed the red mark on her body with a pained heart as she scolded, "Who asked you to run around and make the little miss unhappy. Next time, it won't be as simple as starving!"
Ruo Lan's hand hadn't even touched her delicate little body when she saw the little thing run away quickly. It hid behind the curtain, exposing only its small head. "I … I want to put on clothes …"
"Nope." Qiao Liangjiao pulled open the curtain and held the little thing's arm for him to sit at the table. Seeing that he still wanted to protest, she coldly glared at him: "I'll give you clothes to tear?"
Rip?
The little girl stared blankly for a moment, then wrapped herself in the tablecloth.
Even if he was young, it would not be proper for a man and a woman to live in the same room together without clothes, right?
"Wear my clothes!" Another protest.
Qiao Liangjiao calmly looked at him. He didn't know why, but he felt goosebumps in his heart. However, he still didn't give up and said, "I, I want to wear …" "Get dressed …"
Before he could even react, Qiao Liangjiao's hand slapped his white butt.
"Eat obediently!"
"Howl …"
The little girl pursed her lips. She wanted to cry, but she held back in time. She continued to wrap her body in the tablecloth, revealing only her tender white arm. She picked up the spoon and scooped the porridge into her mouth.
No matter how I look at it, it makes my heart ache.
"Young, young miss …" Pai Di could not bear to see him like this.
"You should be punished if you did something wrong. By running around like this, it almost became a dish for the young master. It's so dangerous, little miss is doing it for its own good." Ruo Lan interjected with a look of satisfaction on her face. She couldn't help but feel sorry for this little rascal.
"Eat the food!" Qiao Liangjiao threw a chopstick of vegetables into his small bowl in a bad mood.
His black eyes angrily glared at Qiao Liangjiao's face. In the end, he weakened himself and put the vegetable deer into his mouth. He didn't chew and swallowed it. That small expression of his made it seem like he was forcing it to consume poison.
"I... "I want to eat meat …" The little fellow eagerly looked at the untouched piece of meat on the table and swallowed its saliva.
"Do you really want to eat it?"
"Yes, yes." The little head nodded like a chick pecking rice.
"Then tell me, where did you go today?"
"…"
The most terrifying memory in life!
It was as if he could still feel the sensation of being struck by lightning.
The little guy shivered, his face full of fear.
Seeing him like this, Qiao Liangjiao couldn't bear to make things difficult for him anymore. She picked up two pieces of meat and put them into his bowl.
The way she ate was elegant and unhurried, neither too fast nor too slow. Her slender fingers gripped onto the chopsticks, creating an indescribably beautiful scene.
But she ate very little.
The little fox was puzzled and could not help but ask, "Why do you eat so little?"
"Nonsense, lose weight!" Qiao Liangjiao smacked him on the forehead with her chestnut.
This woman!
This woman actually hit him again!
"I... I am a monster? " The little fox looked at its body and asked while wagging its big white tail.
"Didn't you always claim to be a Celestial Fox?" Qiao Liangjiao had long since gotten used to it.
In order to escape, this little thing pretended to lose its memory every three days, with a pitiful "I don't know you, let me go" look.
His acting skills were superb.
The little thing looked as if it had been struck by lightning. Its face was full of surprise. It pulled its fluffy tail, but no one knew what it was thinking.
"Where's the eldest young master?" Qiao Liangjiao asked after she finished eating and put down her chopsticks.
"Eldest Young Master went out after dinner …" Pai Di said hesitantly.
Get out...
His long and narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and his face was filled with displeasure.
"Miss, this is the Four Books and Five Classics that Miss Hong Liang brought. It has always been placed in the main hall. The old lady lost her temper and asked this servant to bring it back for you."
Purple Smoke, who had just entered the room, first bowed respectfully, then took out a book.
She didn't even raise her pretty eyes as she said, "Throw it away."
"Throw it away?" The little fox at the dining table was unwilling. "This is a book given to you by the Seventh Prince. Didn't he want you to memorize it within three days?"
"When have I ever heard of such an old feudal system?" Her beautiful eyes slightly lifted as she picked up a handkerchief to wipe the little fellow's mouth. Then, she took him down and placed him on the ground.
The little fox quickly pulled down a piece of cloth to cover his body and protested in dissatisfaction, "Why is he Old Feng, don't you like him?"
