Chapter 105 Are you tired of living?
As Xie Yaochuan watched Princess Lanyue's aggressive departure, alarm bells went off instantly, and he had a very bad premonition.
When Xiao Yuxi woke up, she met Potato Brother's gaze. She quickly backed away before blinking and coming to her senses.
"Why are you avoiding me?" Mu Yunchen leaned forward and noticed that her eyes were a little red and swollen. He pointed at them with his hand in confusion.
“Xi Xi didn’t dodge,” Xiao Yu Xi retorted instinctively.
Mu Yunchen gently rubbed her cheek and chuckled, "Mmm, I didn't dodge."
While Xi-jie is still a child, massage her as much as you can!
Yingrui smiled as she looked at the two little dumplings, placed the prepared medicine on the cutting board beside the bed, and added two candies.
Mu Yunchen leaned closer to smell it, and frowned at the bitterness. "This smells awful."
Xiao Yuxi picked it up, gulped it down in one go, and then put the candy in her mouth. The series of movements was frighteningly smooth.
Mu Yunchen stared in disbelief at the bottom of the bowl, where not even the dregs of the medicine remained.
He's never voluntarily taken medicine in his entire life.
"Little sister Xixi, wait a minute, your brother has found you a treasure." Mu Yunchen ran out and stopped abruptly at the door.
Yingrui smiled as she picked up Xiaoyuxi to change her clothes, calling out, "Third Young Master, slow down, don't run."
Seeing that he had actually stopped, she looked at him with some surprise.
After putting on her padded jacket, Xiao Yuxi ran out on her short legs.
"Brother Potato!" She jumped into Mu Yunchen's arms.
Mu Yunchen caught Xiao Yuxi and pointed to the sky.
Xiao Yuxi looked in that direction and saw flames bursting into the sky.
I was shocked.
This seems to be similar to the wildfire that happened where she lived before...
The fire was terrifyingly large...
Xiao Yuxi turned around and looked at Potato Brother in a daze, asking him in a soft and sweet voice, "Potato Brother, is this the treasure you found?"
Mu Yunchen was slightly taken aback, then shook his head frantically, "No, no."
Mu Yunchen clapped his hands, and a huge support frame and a parrot on a chain were brought in.
"This is a talking parrot that I, your brother, personally trained!"
"Idiot! Idiot!" The parrot flapped its wings and slapped him.
Mu Yunchen subconsciously stepped back, then noticed Xi Xi watching him. He immediately straightened his clothes and pretended that nothing had happened.
Xiao Yuxi looked at it, her eyes gradually brightening, and she imitated its speech, "Idiot! Idiot!"
Parrot: "Idiot!"
Xiao Yuxi: "Idiot!"
Parrot: "Idiot!"
Xiao Yuxi: "Idiot!"
Parrot: "A master mimic!"
Xiao Yuxi: "A master of imitation!"
When the Duchess entered the courtyard, she happened to see Xiao Yuxi imitating the parrot's speech, especially since the parrot was teaching her swear words. Her face instantly darkened.
The parrot turned to look at the Duchess, its tone impassioned, "Ah! What a beautiful lady! Would you like a bottle of Jade Cream?"
The Duchess looked at the parrot and suddenly remembered that it was a parrot from a shop owned by the Mu family.
So, this brat managed to steal the Mu family's shop's living signboard?
The Duchess stepped forward and pinched Mu Yunchen's ear. "You sure know how to take things! Jade Skin Shop is the Mu family's most profitable shop. Are you tired of living?"
"Good pinch! Wonderful pinch! The thief is going to cry!" The parrot flapped its wings happily.
The Duchess patted Xiao Yuxi's head, "Xixi, don't try to learn everything."
"Mom! Mom! Be gentle! I won't do it again! Waaaaah! It hurts! It really hurts!" Mu Yunchen covered her ears and squatted down, looking aggrieved.
Sister Xi really liked this parrot in her previous life! What's wrong with him bringing it over for Sister Xi to play with?
Xiao Yuxi covered her forehead with both hands, blinked her big eyes at her aunt, and looked completely innocent.
As the firelight on the horizon gradually disappeared, the Duchess breathed a sigh of relief; it had been extinguished much faster than the great fire in her previous life.
The fire in their past life even reached the Mu family's shops, causing one of their restaurants to be completely destroyed.
This time it's a bit better. Judging from the flames, it seems that only Yan's shops were burned down.
Yan Shizi died even more tragically this time than in his previous life. It is said that his face was unrecognizable, but Princess Lanyue still recognized his body immediately.
The Duchess looked at Xiao Yuxi, who was only wearing a small padded jacket, and felt somewhat helpless. She turned around and went back inside.
She picked up the cloak that Yingrui had thrown on the chair, and as soon as she lifted it, she saw the wet, dirty water underneath. She quickly folded it up, glanced somewhat strangely at Xiaoyuxi who was still playing with the parrot in the yard, and then put the cloak away.
It drizzled a little yesterday evening, so the drizzle was only from when I went out last night.
She had the butler make this cloak specifically for Xiao Xian.
Now it appears here.
In other words, Xi Xi must have gone out with Xiao Xian last night.
And Yan Shizi happened to die last night...
The coincidence of this matter is so striking that it inevitably makes people think a lot.
The Duchess folded the cloak neatly, held it in her hand, and then took out an exquisite cape from the cabinet and went out to put it on Xixi.
“Oh, my beautiful lady, here is a newly arrived snail-shell ink, would you like to take a look? Or would you like to try this lip rouge?” The parrot raised its head and looked at the Duchess with great expression.
It is specially trained to shower elegantly dressed ladies with compliments, and then specializes in selling unsold, overpriced items.
This method almost completely sold out the slow-moving products.
The Duchess looked helplessly at the flamboyant parrot and chuckled softly.
"Xixi is staying in the courtyard today, so don't let your brother lure her out." The Duchess gently squatted down and looked at her.
Xiao Yuxi nodded obediently and pointed in the direction of the previous flames, "Auntie, is there a fire over there? Will anyone be in trouble?"
The Duchess hesitated for a moment. In her previous life, quite a few people had been burned to death. That place was Yingliu Alley, where many young masters from noble families stayed overnight. In her previous life, this incident caused quite a stir.
A bunch of people who were previously known for their love for their wives were burned alive in their sleep.
However, these things are quite popular among the ladies in their backyard, while those in the front court, like Yun Chao, probably haven't heard much about them.
Most of those who died were the second sons or illegitimate sons of officials appointed by the imperial court.
The troublemaker was Princess Lanyue, who had an immunity from death.
No matter how big this matter gets, it will eventually just fizzle out.
However, not long after, the Yan family was embroiled in a scandal involving the divorce of the wife and the adoption of a concubine.
The Duchess thought for a moment, then gently patted Xiao Yuxi's head. "Don't be afraid, Xixi. The fire hasn't been burning for long, so there shouldn't be any casualties."
The Duchess, holding the cloak in her hand, tossed it to her maid as she walked, saying in a low voice, "Burn this."
