Would You Believe Me If I Said I Was Jealous?

From a distance, one could see a look of profound sorrow on the monster's exquisitely cold face, while Xiao Xing in his arms was wailing as if its parents had died. This man and wolf duo perfectly portrayed the image of Jun Jing Lan as a deserted, resentful husband, appearing vividly before everyone.

Dan Tai Huang quietly hid the block of wood in her sleeve and walked over with a smile. "Royal Brother, I'm back!"

At that moment, Dan Tai Ji turned his head unhappily and looked toward the door. "It's midnight. Where did you run off to again?" He wasn't afraid of her causing trouble, only that she would be bewitched by Chu Chang Ge!

Dan Tai Huang stepped forward with a beaming smile, her sharp eyes sweeping over the monster as she said sweetly, "I just went to the latrine!"

As soon as she spoke, a voice filled with suspicion—suspicion mixed with disbelief, and disbelief laced with gloom, like the doubt of a cold husband—drifted over: "The latrine? Which latrine? Why couldn't the servants find you? Why were you gone for so long? Is there any witness or physical evidence?"

"Awoo! Awoo!" Xiao Xing quickly barked twice, helping its master ask. If one listened carefully, one could almost hear what it was saying. Its emerald-green eyes were filled with murderous intent as it looked at Dan Tai Huang—*You tricked me, making me stand in the corner and giving me a backache. You damned woman!*

Dan Tai Huang's forehead throbbed with veins from his questioning. She turned with a menacing smile and said bluntly, "What does it have to do with you!" This man truly had a problem with his head! Just because she defiled his bathwater, he still wouldn't let it go even now?! She didn't believe this guy was truly kicked in the head and wanted to possess her. If he really provoked her, she would beat him up and show him why the sky is always full of stars! Thinking this, her sleeve twitched slightly...

Seeing this, Jun Jing Lan's enchanting eyes casually glanced at her wide sleeve. Indeed, he saw a strange object hidden beneath it, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes. Suddenly, his jade-like fingers stroked Xiao Xing's fur, and he said indifferently, "This Prince is asking on behalf of Royal Brother!"

"Royal Brother, are you very curious about the question he just asked?" Dan Tai Huang turned her head seriously to look at Dan Tai Ji.

Dan Tai Ji raised a hand to rub his nose and coughed lightly, saying, "Not curious!" After saying that, he also appraised Jun Jing Lan from head to toe. To say he truly liked his sister, he couldn't find a reason; to say it was fake, he had run over in the middle of the night—could it be late-night loneliness? But regardless of which it was, he probably shouldn't interfere too much now; Imperial Father hadn't even agreed to this marriage yet!

Thinking this, he took a few steps to the main seat, sat down, and picked up a teacup to drink. He was hinting that Jun Jing Lan could leave!

But Jun Jing Lan acted as if he were completely unaware of being unwelcome. He raised his head to glance at Dan Tai Huang and said indifferently, "Royal Brother isn't curious, but this Prince is! If the Princess doesn't give this Prince a satisfactory explanation today, I won't leave!"

"Awoo!" Xiao Xing coordinated! *No explanation, I'm not leaving either!*

"Pfft—" Dan Tai Ji spat out his tea and then began to cough violently.

Dan Tai Huang didn't hold back. She had been worried about whether to hit him, but now she didn't have to worry anymore! She stepped toward Jun Jing Lan and asked, "Is the Crown Prince truly that curious?"

His enchanting eyes again casually glanced at her sleeve, the smile in his gaze deepening. He still nodded. "Regarding the whereabouts of my Crown Princess, this Prince is naturally very curious!"

"Fine, then this Princess will tell you!" As she spoke, she walked toward him, looking for the best opportunity to strike! "This Princess walked eight hundred meters outside the bedchamber to a latrine to relieve herself. There is no witness or physical evidence. As for why I squatted for so long, it's because this Princess happened to have a bit of—constipation!"

As soon as she finished—*Bang!*

A loud sound rang out, like a clap of thunder!

The chair Jun Jing Lan had been sitting on was shattered into pieces! It was clear how ruthless the attacker was.

"Princess, are you trying to murder your husband?" His enchanting eyes smiled as he jumped aside while holding Xiao Xing. This woman was truly serious; if he had been a step slower, he really would have been hit by her! And... constipation?

Dan Tai Huang sneered. "The Crown Prince is so knowledgeable; haven't you heard of the idiom 'wood hidden in a smile'?"

Jun Jing Lan raised an eyebrow and then slowly curled his lips. *Wood hidden in a smile? Wasn't it 'dagger hidden in a smile'?*

"My child, do not be disrespectful!" Dan Tai Ji shouted!

Dan Tai Huang was about to speak when Jun Jing Lan suddenly said, "Royal Brother, this is a matter between us as a couple; let us handle it ourselves!"

As soon as he said this, the veins on Dan Tai Huang's forehead successfully throbbed again. Shameless! A couple? Who was a couple with him! Her anger had been triggered to the peak. She restrained herself and spoke gently to Dan Tai Ji, "Royal Brother, we'll go handle our private matter first!"

Immediately, she let out a loud shout, "Jun Jing Lan, get your ass out here for this old lady!"

After saying that, she turned and walked out, a strong wind rising behind her. In an instant, the bright moon was obscured by dark clouds! The woman was like fire, her robes fluttering. This appearance, if she were holding a long sword, would look like she was going to a duel at Mount Hua! It seemed she wanted a showdown!

Dan Tai Ji frowned as he watched her silhouette. Jun Jing Lan said with a slow smile, "Royal Brother, rest assured, she'll be fine!"

With that, he turned and headed toward the door.

After a few steps, he suddenly heard a graceful and magnificent voice from behind: "Bei Ming Crown Prince, though she is rowdy, her nature is not bad. If she has offended you, this Prince will take the blame for her. If the Crown Prince is doing this for the alliance with Mo Bei, there is no need; this Prince can make the decisions..."

"How does Royal Brother know that this Prince isn't sincere?" A voice slowly rang out, making it impossible to tell if he was being sincere or fake. As the words fell, his silhouette slowly departed.

And Dan Tai Ji watched his back for a long time.

Sigh, forget it. Whether it's sincere or fake, let her handle it herself. Perhaps he really was getting old; lately, he had been getting quite a headache from that girl...

...

Leaving the main hall, Xiao Xing suddenly pounced. Its mouth opened wide as it flew three hundred meters toward Dan Tai Huang! Its emerald-green eyes were filled with the joy of imminent revenge!

However, when it was half a meter away from Dan Tai Huang, the red-clad woman ahead suddenly turned around. Her eyes were full of a successful scheme, waiting for this little guy's strike! She raised her arm and gave a flick...

A strange object flew toward Xiao Xing! Xiao Xing felt disdainful—what could stop it? —"Awoo!"

"Awoo!"

"Awoo woo woo—!"

*Bang!* It fell miserably to the ground from mid-air! On the wolf's mouth was a mousetrap. Its two front paws were on the ground in pain, eyes tearful as it turned to look at its master. In its heart, it cursed—this woman was truly despicable! Awoo, why was there a smell of blood? Could its noble, handsome, and elegant mouth have been clipped until it bled? Boo hoo, it was bleeding!

Dan Tai Huang crossed her arms, her lips curling in disdain as she looked at Xiao Xing, her eyes unconsciously showing a hint of triumph.

Jun Jing Lan walked up to it and slowly knelt down. He removed the mousetrap and lectured coldly, "How many times have I told you? Do not underestimate your enemy, hmm?"

"Awoo~"

The mousetrap was removed. Xiao Xing struggled to stand up, its hind legs on the ground, right paw on its hip, and left paw clutching Jun Jing Lan's robe, looking at Dan Tai Huang with murderous intent! It clearly told the other party that Master Xing had a backer—truly a case of a wolf relying on human power!

As a result, no one reacted to it! Jun Jing Lan didn't look at Xiao Xing; he smiled at Dan Tai Huang. "Going to see Chu Chang Ge?"

Xiao Xing, hearing this, widened its eyes in disbelief and looked up at its master! *Could it be that in master's eyes, there's no sign of me at all?* So it again pulled at the other's robe with its front paw: "Awoo!" *Master, she bullied me!*

Dan Tai Huang said coldly, "What if I am? What does it have to do with you?"

"Naturally, it does!" The smile on his lips deepened, and a coldness slowly appeared in his eyes, as cold as ice and snow.

Still being ignored, Xiao Xing pulled harder at Jun Jing Lan's robe: "Awoo! Awoo!" *Master, she bullied me, don't you see?*

Dan Tai Huang frowned, not understanding his meaning.

His voice rang out again, exceptionally clear in the night wind: "Woman, if I say I'm jealous, would you believe me?"
