After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Did he bite Xie Wu?

What does it mean to bite Xie Wu?

Luo Cheng'an and Luo Qingyun looked at Xie Xing at the same time. They saw Xie Xing standing beside Jun Lanjin with a wronged expression. Her eyes were still wet, and when she looked up, her pupils were as clear as if they had been washed with water.

The two of them were both stunned.

Putting everything else aside, Xie Xing is indeed quite handsome.

Her skin was fair and delicate, and she looked as pampered as someone raised in a wealthy family. She didn't look like a country bumpkin from the countryside at all.

The woman was bitten in public, damaging her reputation.

Even if Luo Qingyun disliked Xie Xing, she didn't want to be cuckolded.

His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Luo Mian: "Fourth brother, what's going on?"

Luo Mian didn't feel the same tension towards Luo Qingyun as he did towards Prince Jin. He could even laugh and say, "Our future sister-in-law wants to have some fun with Seventh Brother, so she'll use him as a live target."

"But she never expected that her archery skills were not good enough and she failed to shoot the arrow. She became angry and embarrassed and made her seventh brother crawl over to pick up the arrow for her."

"The seventh brother got angry and immediately bit his future sister-in-law."

Luo Mian kept referring to his future sister-in-law, but there was not a trace of respect in his words.

Even though Xie Xing was playing the villainous female supporting character, she felt a little embarrassed listening to Luo Mian's description and quietly shrank her feet, hiding behind Jun Lanjin again.

He tried to use him to block himself.

While Ke Junlan sat, she stood, making her attempt to cover up the truth seem both malicious and foolish.

Xie Mingzhu understood.

She glanced at Xie Xing with a complicated expression.

She had actually felt a sense of crisis because of Xie Xing's arrival, but she never expected him to be such an idiot.

She first looked around, but did not see her elder brother Xie Yuhe.

She thought for a moment, then jumped off the horse and gave Xie Xing a reproachful look. "Sister, even if you hate the Seventh Prince, you can't bully him like this."

At this moment, she displayed the demeanor of an elder sister, turning around and walking up to Luo Hanfeng.

The boy's hair fell across his face, making him look somewhat disheveled. He raised his head, his clear, bright eyes looking at Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu was slightly taken aback.

She smiled and placed the rabbit in Luo Hanfeng's hand, saying gently, "My younger sister has just returned and is still quite immature. I hope the Seventh Prince will not be angry."

"I just hunted this rabbit. If the Seventh Prince doesn't mind, I will give it to him as a token of my apology."

All eyes were on Xie Mingzhu and Luo Hanfeng.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of shared emotion.

Both being daughters of the General's Mansion, Xie Mingzhu is kind-hearted and beautiful, and can be so gentle even to the lowly Seventh Prince.

In contrast, Xie Xing—

Everyone then turned their attention to Xie Xing.

Today, the little girl was wearing a light pink dress. She looked delicate and pretty, with big, clear almond-shaped eyes that were slightly red at the corners. She covered her ears with a pitiful expression.

Ah, this—

The negative opinions in everyone's hearts were delayed for a moment.

Although the new young lady from the General's Mansion is foolish and vicious, she is undeniably beautiful.

There's a type of person who wants to go astray, but to the extent that's no different from a child throwing mud.

Forgive her; what bad intentions could she possibly have?

I just wanted to have some fun.

Luo Hanfeng lowered his eyes to look at the rabbit in front of him, a cold sneer flashing in his eyes.

Isn't this just a form of apology and charity from those who consider themselves superiors?

Is this the female lead Xie Xing claimed would spend the rest of his life with him?

Ah.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Luo Hanfeng's lips, but when he looked up again, a pure and innocent smile had appeared on his face: "Thank you."

Xie Mingzhu blushed slightly at the side of her ear because of her smile.

Luo Cheng'an frowned and looked at Xie Xing with disgust: "Why do you always cause trouble wherever you go? And Mingzhu even had to apologize for you."

Xie Xing lowered his head, looking as if he had admitted his mistake.

Xie Mingzhu turned to look at Xie Xing, who was standing beside Jun Lanjin, paused, and said gently, "Your Highness, please don't blame your sister."

"It must be because my younger sister hasn't finished learning the rules yet. When we get home, I'll ask my mother to teach her more manners."

Luo Cheng'an's gaze softened as he looked at Xie Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, you are so kind."

"Kindness is often taken advantage of; you can't do that again."

The two locked eyes in mid-air, looking completely at each other with obvious affection, oblivious to everyone around them, as if everyone else were just background figures.

[What are you two staring at each other for? The male lead is still here, why are you looking at the crown prince?!]

The system was speechless in Xie Xing's mind.

If Luo Hanfeng and Xie Mingzhu still haven't made any progress in their relationship, she's about to run off with the male supporting character.

Fortunately, their relationship is about to progress.

So right now, the system is just complaining in its head; it doesn't actually intend to do anything.

Xie Xing, however, glanced at Luo Mian beside him, then at Luo Cheng'an and Xie Mingzhu, and thought, [It's clear that these two really don't have a romantic storyline.]

Although Luo Mianren was a womanizer, he completely ignored Xie Mingzhu, with whom he was engaged, and had no desire to have any interaction with her.

Don't underestimate Luo Mian just because he's cannon fodder; he's smart, and Xie Mingzhu is someone he can't afford.

The system explained to Xie Xing.

Xie Xing seemed to understand, but not quite.

The spring outing passed just like that. As for Xie Xing bullying Luo Hanfeng, Jun Lanjin said afterwards that he would teach Xie Xing a lesson, but he only said a few words and then left.

When Xie Mingzhu and Xie Xing returned to the General's Mansion, they heard Xie Yu and Madam Xie arguing in the main hall.

"You knew perfectly well that I had feelings for Qiongwan, so why didn't you tell me?"

Xie Yuhe was always a gentle person and never lost his temper.

But he was, after all, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and within the Court of Judicial Review, he had countless methods for interrogating prisoners. When he got angry, his aura was terrifying.

Xie Yuhe had never lost his temper at home before, so his outburst at this moment was quite unexpected.

Xie Mingzhu's expression changed slightly, and she quickly lifted her skirt and ran inside.

Xie Xing followed behind at a leisurely pace.

In the living room, Mrs. Xie's face was grim. "Are you going to get angry with me over this?"

Today's matter was truly urgent. If Xie Yuhe hadn't overheard Xie Xing's thoughts, he probably wouldn't have known until news of Yao Qiongwan's engagement spread.

Xie Yuhe's eyes were bloodshot; the fear of almost losing his beloved still lingered in his heart. He said coldly, "Just because of this?"

"Mother, you knew perfectly well that I would only marry Qiongwan, so why didn't you tell me?"

If he doesn't arrive in time, Qiongwan will be engaged to someone else.

Even after he arrived, the people in the Right Prime Minister's residence did not like him.

Why did they have to come at this time of year?

What exactly do the people from your General Zhenguo's Mansion mean?

Madam Xie's eyes flickered with doubt for a moment before she said, "How would I know she arranged a marriage so quickly?"

"Besides, Mingzhu doesn't like her, so why do you insist on having her as your wife? Is an outsider really inferior to your sister?"
