The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 69: Devil or Monster
Mu Xiyue forced a sardonic smile, "Old Madam, when my father wanted to marry me to a fool, did he ever think that I was his daughter? When my father poisoned me, did he ever think that I was his daughter? When my father hired a killer to assassinate me in the middle of the night, did he think of me as his daughter?"
The old lady looked at Mu Xiyue's cold eyes and moved her lips without saying a word.
Mu Xiyue sneered, "Mu Xiyu was outskilled, so she plotted against me and suffered the consequences. Your daughter-in-law poisoned me out of spite. Old Madam, you don't think I'm a kind person, do you? I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. But if someone offends me, I'll retaliate a hundredfold."
Mu Xiyue walked out after she finished speaking. Suddenly, Mu Xiyu pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and rushed towards Mu Xiyue's back.
Xiao Tao raised her hand quickly and swung it, and Mu Xiyu's palm holding the dagger was instantly cut off by the wind blade. The palm and dagger fell to the ground at the same time. Mu Xiyu looked at his forearm without palm, closed his eyes and fainted.
The old lady was so frightened that she opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound, and pointed at Xiaotao with a trembling finger.
Mu Xiyue turned around and looked at the chaotic group of people and said four words, "Don't overestimate your own abilities!"
Xiao Tao also gave the old lady a provocative smile and kindly reminded her, "If you don't see a doctor now, you will die from excessive blood loss!"
A clever maid ran out quickly. The old lady took another look at the bloody palm on the ground and her lips turned pale. The nanny beside her helped the old lady sit down at the table. The two nannies were also very scared. Everyone in the room who was not fainted had weak hands and feet.
Mu Xiyue had just walked out of the courtyard when she ran into Mu Fengnian who had hurried over. Mu Fengnian said with a gloomy face, "Yue'er, do you really think your father is afraid of you by acting like this? Don't forget that you are still poisoned."
Mu Xiyue sneered, pulled out the hairpin from her head and scratched the back of her hand hard, leaving a deep cut on the back of her hand, and blood gushed out instantly.
"Father, look carefully!"
Mu Fengnian watched the wound on the back of her hand heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and watched Mu Xiyue wipe the blood off the back of her hand with a handkerchief, and the back of her hand became as smooth as before.
The expression on his face changed from confusion at first, to disbelief, and finally to a flash of fear in his eyes.
Mu Xiyue threw the handkerchief to the ground and took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve. It was the antidote that Mu Fengnian gave her last time.
She tossed the porcelain bottle to Mu Fengnian, blew on the back of her hand, and chuckled, "Father, do you think the poison you gave me can hurt me? You really thought I would be poisoned by you, but you are just following your wishes. Don't try to do anything else, otherwise I don't mind leaving your Mu family with nothing. I mean what I say."
Mu Fengnian looked at Mu Xiyue's back, and many things flashed through his mind in an instant. Mu Xiyu talked about the thunder that came without any warning, Liu Meir said that her arms were frozen after she grabbed her wrists, and the wound that he had just witnessed healing quickly.
He looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, opened the cork and found the antidote inside.
Mu Xiyue, are you a devil or a monster?
Mu Fengnian suppressed the shock and fear in his heart and turned into the yard. Mu Xiyu lay on the couch with her eyes closed. There was a severed hand and a dagger on the ground. Mu Fengnian could roughly guess what had happened.
Mu Xiyue returned to the courtyard, and Xiao Tao asked in confusion: "Miss, why did you suddenly reveal your healing skills? Didn't you say you wanted to keep it hidden?"
Mu Xiyue said lazily, "I just suddenly felt that I have the ability and I have nothing to fear. I want him to stop thinking that I have really been poisoned by him and use this to control me. I'd better let him give up on this idea."
As soon as the sun rose in the morning, Xiao Yibai led his group to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. Mu Xiyue and Xiao Tao were already prepared. They were both dressed in men's clothing and carried only a small bag on their backs. The bag was just a cover. The clothes and things they might need on the road were all in Mu Xiyue's space.
Heading west, Mu Xiyue rode excitedly in the front, Xiao Yibai riding alongside her. The nearest city to Shangjing was Yunyou, and it would take three hours to travel non-stop from Shangjing.
It was already Chenshi when they set out, which was about 7:30 in modern time. It was already Weishi when they arrived in Yunyou City, and everyone was already starving.
Xiao Yibai has a house in Yunyou City, and the group went straight to the house.
The housekeeper who was guarding the house must have received the news earlier and knew that Xiao Yibai was coming, so he kept the prepared food warm in the kitchen.
The food was served, and Xiaotao and Qiyun sat at the same table with Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue.
Mu Xiyue was not polite either. She started eating without waiting for Xiao Yibai to pick up his chopsticks, and greeted Xiaotao and Qiyun while eating.
"This meat is very well cooked, fatty but not greasy. You two should try some too! I'm starving after running all this way."
Seeing her eating with big mouthfuls without any pretense, Xiao Yibai felt that the food seemed to be much more fragrant. He picked up a piece of boneless fish maw and put it on the plate in front of Mu Xiyue.
"This is Yunyou City's famous crispy fish. Try it."
Mu Xiyue smiled at him, picked up the food and stuffed it into her mouth. "It's delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with no fishy smell, sweet and sour but not greasy. You should eat it quickly too, this chef is really good, all the dishes are delicious."
Xiao Yibai had dined with her several times and had a rough idea of her taste. She liked sweet and sour dishes, as well as spicy ones.
Qiyun quietly moved to Xiaotao's side, picked up a piece of pork and put it into Xiaotao's bowl, "Xiaotao, this is delicious."
Xiao Tao blushed and said nothing. She picked up the short ribs and started eating. Qi Yun grinned and handed Xiao Tao a piece of stir-fried mushrooms with chopsticks. He whispered, "This mushroom is also delicious. It helps to relieve the greasiness."
Xiao Tao lowered her head and glanced at Mu Xiyue, who was looking at her with a half-smile. Seeing Xiao Tao looking at her, she picked up a mushroom with chopsticks and put it into Xiao Yibai's bowl. She deliberately said to Xiao Yibai in a soft and sticky voice: "This mushroom is also delicious, it can relieve greasiness."
Xiao Yibai laughed dumbly and put the mushroom into his mouth, "Hmm, delicious."
Qi Yun was thick-skinned and knew Mu Xiyue was imitating him. Seeing the prince peeling shrimp and putting them in Miss Mu's bowl, he continued to show his courtesy to Xiao Tao. He washed his hands in the large basin at the corner of the table, peeled a large shrimp and put it in Xiao Tao's bowl, saying, "This kind of shrimp is unique to the river outside Yunyou City. They are large and not fishy. Come and try them."
This is the kind of large green-shelled river shrimp that we have today. The largest one can grow to the size of a thumb, and the meat is firm. However, in the previous life, this kind of shrimp was artificially cultivated. This was the first time Mu Xiyue had eaten a wild one.
Xiaotao whispered to Qiyun to eat by himself. She was very embarrassed and felt it was too shameful to do so in front of the prince and the young lady.
Since Mu Xiyue agreed to try to get along with Xiao Yibai, she did not feel shy. She thought it was normal for Xiao Yibai to pick up vegetables and peel shrimps for her. Her parents were very loving in her previous life. She was a modern soul who was used to seeing her father pampering her mother every day. She also enjoyed Xiao Yibai's kindness to her and felt very sweet.
But Xiaotao was different. People in ancient times were mostly reserved in expressing their preferences. She blushed, ate silently, and slipped away immediately after.
