The three little ones, each smarter than the last, and each more mischievous than the other!
Having seen many children, he now felt that none could compare to the three before him!
"Butler Grandpa, where did Daddy go?" Zhan Xiaoli asked.
Butler Wang smiled and said, "He probably went to the Regent's Mansion with Miss Yun Er."
"Daddy is with Mommy," Zhan Xiaofeng couldn't help but laugh.
He could feel that Mommy and Daddy were getting better and better.
The three of them would soon have a younger brother or sister!
Yun Xiaojing bit into his chicken drumstick, his little head deep in thought. Hearing his two brothers ask about their father, he was curious if Jiang Luoxi was also not in the mansion when his father wasn't there.
Perhaps some people shouldn't be thought of.
The next moment.
A figure appeared at the door.
It was Jiang Luoxi.
She walked over, a smile on her face, "After breakfast, how about I take you shopping? Last time, Xiaojing said you already had the things I wanted to give you. So, how about we go out and pick some today?"
The Jiang Luoxi before them looked like a kind elder sister from an ordinary family, seemingly very kind, and eager to befriend them.
Her words were all very gentle.
Butler Wang frowned secretly, his heart filled with worry. The Prince wasn't in the mansion, and Miss Yun Er wasn't either. How could he feel that this Miss Jiang had impure intentions?
Was she trying to win them over?
And then make King Ye look at her differently?
"No," Zhan Xiaoli said coldly, utterly unwilling to engage with Jiang Luoxi.
Her smile was too fake. Did she think he was just a child and couldn't see through it? He saw through it all!
Hmph!
Zhan Xiaofeng also disliked Jiang Luoxi. He felt that Jiang Luoxi was very much like his godmother Yun Yueyin, the type of person who smiled while hiding a knife, ready to strike him at any moment. He didn't want to talk to her at all.
Jiang Luoxi was not surprised by their cold attitude.
She waited for Yun Xiaojing's response.
Yun Xiaojing's eyes gleamed with a mischievous light, but he lowered his head, not letting Jiang Luoxi see. When he looked up again, his little face was full of excitement and anticipation, "Really? That's great! Brothers aren't going, but I will!"
Jiang Luoxi curled her lips into a smile, very satisfied.
"The Prince is not in the mansion, Miss Jiang cannot take them out," Butler Wang immediately stopped her.
He secretly wiped the sweat from his brow. Xiaojing was usually so cunning, how could he agree to go out with Miss Jiang?
"If Butler Wang is worried, you can have the mansion's guards accompany us," Jiang Luoxi suggested.
It was all about making Yun Xiaojing like her, and having a few guards with them wouldn't matter.
Yun Xiaojing jumped off the chair and went to Butler Wang's side, "Butler Grandpa, please let someone follow us! I promise to be good, and if anything happens, I'll ask the guards to help me."
This was a great opportunity to extort something, and he wasn't going to let it go!
"Xiaojing!" Zhan Xiaoli and Zhan Xiaofeng exclaimed in unison.
Yun Xiaojing waved his hand at them, "Wait for me to bring back gifts!"
"Butler Wang, please rest assured," Jiang Luoxi said in a deep voice.
Everyone in the mansion was wary of her.
But, no rush, take it slow.
"Butler Grandpa, please take care of Xiaoli and Xiaofeng. I can take care of myself! If I see anything delicious or fun when I go out, I'll buy it back for you too!" Yun Xiaojing said, then tugged at Jiang Luoxi's clothes and walked away.
Seeing this, Jiang Luoxi followed, a smile deepening on her lips.
Butler Wang quickly called for a few guards to follow them.
The mansion's guards were skilled in martial arts, no less than Guard Qiu. With them protecting Xiaojing, there shouldn't be any trouble.
Butler Wang remembered the look Yun Xiaojing gave him when he ran to the door earlier.
That look was too mischievous.
It seemed to say, "Let me follow Jiang Luoxi out quickly, I'm going to do something big." It was as if by some uncanny impulse, he didn't stop Jiang Luoxi.
Having lived this long, sometimes one had a strange premonition. He had a feeling that Jiang Luoxi would definitely regret taking Xiaojing out. xxs壹贰
...
On the bustling street.
Shops lined both sides of the road, one after another.
Yun Xiaojing clasped his hands behind his back, his large, grape-like eyes darting here and there.
Before entering a shop, Yun Xiaojing looked up at Jiang Luoxi and asked, "I don't know if you are a very stingy person."
"Stingy?" Jiang Luoxi felt a bit unhappy hearing these words. He was the first person to ask her if she was stingy. She patiently and calmly bent down, "I am not a stingy person. Are you worried that I won't buy you the things you like? Don't worry, since I brought you out, it's to give you a gift you'll be happy with. Just pick what you like."
"What if I happen to like several gifts?" Yun Xiaojing asked.
Jiang Luoxi didn't think much of it. In her eyes, most children were interested in all sorts of trinkets and wanted to own them. She said indulgently, "Buy whatever you want."
"You're so nice! I'm so happy. When I get back, I'll tell Xiaoli and the others that you're a good person! A very, very good person!" Yun Xiaojing offered a barrage of praise with a look of pure innocence.
The overwhelming praise made Jiang Luoxi feel a little satisfied. She reached out to pat Yun Xiaojing's head.
But Yun Xiaojing darted into the shop, and her hand missed.
Glancing at her hand, the smile on Jiang Luoxi's lips cooled a bit, and she followed him inside.
As soon as she entered, she saw Yun Xiaojing raising his little hand and pointing at the jade bracelets, pearl necklaces, and gold headdresses, "Wow! They're all so beautiful! I want to buy them all! Grandpa Shopkeeper, please pack them up for me."
Jiang Luoxi's steps halted. She looked at Yun Xiaojing with some disbelief, "You want to buy these women's accessories?"
These items looked very valuable.
"Yes! I just like these. You don't want to buy them for me, do you? Didn't you just say that I could buy anything I liked? You're going back on your word." Yun Xiaojing frowned, looking a little angry.
Jiang Luoxi's expression darkened slightly, "I didn't say I wouldn't buy them, but these are not things for children. Are you sure you want them?"
"Children's things are too childish! I just like these things. If I don't like them later, I can give them away," Yun Xiaojing replied seriously, with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Luoxi frowned slightly, but still asked the shopkeeper for the price and paid for the items.
The moment Yun Xiaojing received the items, his eyes sparkled, "My mother will definitely like them, and Sister Yu Le and the others will definitely like them too! I'll take them back to give to them!"
"What?" Jiang Luoxi's spine stiffened. She looked down at the smiling Yun Xiaojing before her.
Because Yun Xiaojing was a child, she hadn't thought too much about it.
Now she realized that she had been tricked by a child! Played for a fool!
