Chapter Fifty-Four Who is the Mouse

  The next day

  "Princess, look at what's wrong with my wife? From morning till now, she has been scratching the table and even scratched out all the wood shavings." said Xia Qian looking at someone in front of the wooden table.

  "Isn't it? Still muttering to herself. It sounds like she's saying something, big bad egg, third-rate, shameless... It's been three quarters of an hour already, and not a single repeat!" Tang Gu obviously was also frightened by the scene, then seemed to have thought of something and said: "Yesterday when she came back she was scolding someone, oh no, it was a mouse. I heard that this mouse is the embodiment of all evil, third-rate and shameless!"

  "Sigh, you've reminded me of the time my wife helped me chase away mice... Hmm, I wonder if it's those mice transforming into human form to take revenge on my wife?" Xiao Qian said thoughtfully.

  "If a mouse were to transform into human form, it would be a monster, of course! It would swallow your wife in one gulp! How could you still see your wife now, alive and kicking, scolding people?" Tang Guo gave Xiao Qian a knock on the head.

  "Princess, you're right too!" Xiang suddenly enlightened, continuing to think deeply about what the old mouse in her husband's mouth was referring to, no, it should be what kind of mouse...

  While the two onlookers were racking their brains over the question of "who is the rat", we, the parties involved, are still working hard and diligently to scrape the table.

  "Big bad egg! Die in obscurity! Despicable and shameless..."

  "What?!?" Sharp-eared Xiaojing caught some useful information: "Who did the lady say was behind the big villain?"

  Tang Gu heard it too, and the two of them looked at each other without a word. Suddenly, they shouted out in unison: "Ying... Mo... You!"

  "I'm here!" The voice suddenly came from the doorway, it was not that big scoundrel's voice. I looked in the direction of the sound and indeed, I saw Mo Yu rushing into the house, anxiously asking: "What happened? Don't worry, Your Highness, I will protect you with my life, I'm late to escort you, please forgive me!" Then he instinctively drew out the dagger from his waist and looked around the room. After glancing around, it seemed that there was no one else except for a certain woman who was acting strangely on the table.

  "Princess, where is the assassin?" Yu Rou asked in response.

  "Who said there's an assassin?" Tang Guo gave him a white eye, "Aren't there just the three of us in this room?"

  "Why is the princess..."

  "Oh, it's your wife calling you!" Tang Gu said with a smile, waving his hand.

  "Daughter? Oh, Yue'er, what brings you to me?" Ying Mo Yu put away his knife and walked towards a certain woman, completely unaware that the woman was gripping the table so hard her knuckles were turning white, and her voice was getting more and more urgent.

  "Big bad egg, third-rate, shameless, despicable... come closer, come closer and this lady will finish you off!" However, due to the fast speaking frequency, You Miao did not hear it. Perhaps, he was intentionally ignoring it.

  "Ah, damn it, I'll strangle you to death!" Just as Ying Mo Yu walked up to the female lead, the person who was muttering to himself on the table suddenly got up and attacked Ying Mo Yu's neck.

  Ying Mo Yu was pinched until he was dizzy and turned around: "Originally... cough, you are that assassin..." After saying that, I waved my hand and he fell back into the chair.

  "Alright, alright, you two don't have to show off your affection in front of me like this!" Tang Gu complained.

  Ignoring the person who was still fuming with anger on the chair, he turned to Tang Gu and said: "I have come to report something to Your Highness. Yesterday, when the assassin attacked me, he said that he would take your life tomorrow. I'm afraid there's a conspiracy behind this. Therefore, from today onwards, no one is allowed to enter the Bamboo Grove."

  "What?!" I suddenly jumped up from my chair, startling the others: "Not even me?"

  Only then did he force a faint smile and say: "Especially you! Absolutely do not allow yourself to take half a step closer to Jingzhu Garden!"
