How could Mother be here?
Yun Xiaojing's eyes darted around. Reluctantly, he cast a glance at the ongoing circus performance. "Uncle Qiu, I'll wait for you outside."
With that, he turned to leave without waiting for Qiu Lu's reaction.
But his short legs were no match for Qiu Lu's long arms.
A large hand reached out and grabbed Yun Xiaojing.
Yun Xiaojing inwardly cried, "It's over!"
If he didn't leave, Mother would find him!
Mother would surely be angry, and her anger had serious consequences!
He was afraid!
He had to run quickly!
But Uncle Qiu had caught him.
"Why leave?" Zhan Xiaoli looked at Yun Xiaojing curiously.
Li Yuexian's scalp tingled, and a fiery anger burned in her heart.
If Zhan Xiaoli was troublesome, fine, but some wild child from who knows where dared to stir up trouble! "What exactly do you want?"
Yun Xiaojing ignored Li Yuexian, looking at Zhan Xiaoli instead. He sighed, "You're right, the circus is too boring."
His darting eyes glanced in the direction his mother had been.
Huh?
Mother was gone?
He looked around again.
He happened to see his mother's receding back as she walked out the door.
Wow!
Mother left again!
Why did Mother come and then leave?
Yun Xiaojing didn't have time to think.
"Then let's go," Zhan Xiaoli stood up immediately, ready to leave.
Yun Xiaojing quickly grabbed Zhan Xiaoli, "Let's go in a moment."
"You find it boring, yet you still want to watch?" Zhan Xiaoli frowned. Although after watching for a while, he found it not boring, but quite fun. However, compared to the circus, he wanted to find his mother more.
Yun Xiaojing felt guilty and giggled, "Aunt brought us here with such effort, let's stay and watch to give her face before we go."
Li Yuexian had initially felt like a laughingstock if they left, and was thinking about how to keep them until the end. Upon hearing Yun Xiaojing's words, her expression softened slightly.
Zhan Xiaoli, watching Yun Xiaojing's change of heart, furrowed his small brows.
"Let's watch for a bit. The previous act was boring, but this one is good!" Yun Xiaojing pointed at the performers and said, his eyes shining brightly, showing genuine interest.
Zhan Xiaoli was speechless.
Indeed, some children were truly annoying!
Qiu Lu was even more dumbfounded.
Children were indeed children, impulsive and changeable!
At this moment, someone nearby said, "Did you see? It looked like Miss Yun Er just arrived, but left shortly after entering for some reason!"
"Could it be that she didn't reserve a seat in advance, and was kicked out by the tea house?"
"That's probably it!"
Hearing the gossip from the side, Li Yuexian's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
Even if Yun Shu had become smarter, she was no match for her!
She could make the Night King like her, but Yun Shu couldn't!
"Miss Li, did Miss Yun Er leave because she saw you here? We all know she likes the Night King, but the Night King likes you." A young woman clearly wanted to curry favor with Li Yuexian.
Li Yuexian brushed a strand of hair from her cheek and said with a half-smile, "I hope Miss Yun Er can understand that a melon twisted by force is not sweet. Even if she clings to the Night King, he won't give her a second glance."
"Miss Li is right. But Miss Yun Er has always been erratic. Although she's much better now, if she still can't figure things out, she'll be scorned!" The young lady's words were filled with disdain and sarcastic mockery towards Yun Shu.
A few days ago in the palace, Yun Shu had stolen all the limelight!
She had made women like them in the palace instantly feel like mere maids, which was truly hateful.
Li Yuexian let out a soft scoff. "Indeed."
Qiu Lu frowned upon hearing this.
No one noticed that Yun Xiaojing's bright eyes suddenly narrowed.
His narrowed eyes hid his anger.
How dare they speak ill of his mother, Yun Xiaojing's mother?
Two wicked women!
Did they think his mother was easy to bully?
"Be quiet!" Zhan Xiaoli commanded sharply.
They were too malicious!
Aunt Yun Shu was a good person, they were the bad ones! They were the ridiculous clowns who couldn't see clearly.
Li Yuexian was stunned for a moment, then recalled that night in the palace when the freak had even hugged Yun Shu proactively!
The freak was indeed a freak. What was so good about that idiot Yun Shu?
To actively hug her, and now to defend her!
She put on a fake smile. "If the young prince doesn't like hearing it, then we won't say anything more. However, young prince, you are still young and cannot distinguish right from wrong, nor can you tell who is good and who is bad. Some people, though they look like heavenly beauties, are actually incredibly wicked. You must not be deceived by appearances!"
At this moment.
Yun Xiaojing suddenly raised his head, revealing his little fangs, and smiled at Li Yuexian.
When Li Yuexian saw Yun Xiaojing's smile, her heart skipped a beat. Why did this smile make her heart tremble?
It was so strange that she dared not look directly at it!
However, how could a child's smile make her heart tremble?
Zhan Xiaoli's face was cold.
Li Yuexian looked at the two children, feeling a headache coming on.
If she were to marry into the Night King's manor in the future, she would have to deal with these two.
Freaks!
Both of them were freaks!
Suddenly.
The lady who had been mocking Yun Shu just now let out a scream.
"Ah! A bug! A bug crawled onto me! So many bugs!"
"Ah! Madam, these are not bugs, they are cockroaches! All cockroaches!"
"Ah! Cockroaches!"
"So many?!"
Indeed, several cockroaches were crawling onto the lady!
One after another, they scrambled onto her!
The young lady had never seen such a scene. She had been pampered her whole life and found even a single bug disgusting. Now, so many cockroaches were crawling on her!
Others had never witnessed such a spectacle either.
The servants who had accompanied her bravely attempted to catch the cockroaches.
However, for every one they caught, many more would crawl up!
The young lady screamed repeatedly.
Suddenly, a cockroach crawled into the young lady's mouth!
The young lady shrieked and spat furiously.
The scene stunned everyone in the tea house.
Li Yuexian reacted and quickly jumped up to dodge.
While dodging, she completely disregarded Yun Xiaojing and Zhan Xiaoli.
Qiu Lu's eyes turned cold. He scooped up one child in each arm, carrying them further away.
Just then.
Li Yuexian's maid let out a scream, "Ah! Miss, there are cockroaches on you! Cockroaches have crawled onto Miss again!"
Li Yuexian had initially been relieved that she had run fast.
Fortunately, she hadn't let those cockroaches touch her.
Otherwise, she would have vomited on the spot. She truly hated cockroaches!
Therefore, when she heard her maid's scream, she didn't react immediately.
By the time she understood, she looked down.
Many cockroaches had crawled onto her skirt.
Her face lost all color, and she screamed, "Get away! All of you, get away! Ah, cockroaches!"
For a moment, the circus performance in the tea house stopped.
Many guests, witnessing this scene, were stunned and stood frozen in place.
Yun Xiaojing subtly hooked his lips.
