Chapter 12 — She pretended to be pitiful, she pretended to be innocent

The entire tea house immediately fell silent. I covered my face, embarrassed and struggling: "Tieu Canh Hanh! Let me down!"

“No release.” He strode down the stairs, his voice calm, "Go home to give birth."

Later, a saying spread in the capital - It's better to provoke King of Hell, not to provoke Princess Tinh. Because the King of Hell has a cold face, but only pets one person.

"Miss! It's not done!"

I was so lazy that I didn't even bother to lift my eyelids, calmly asking if Lieu Nhu Yen had come back to life.

"Not!" Xuan Dao was so impatient that he stomped his foot, "A new Nam Phong Quan has just opened in the capital. Inside are all handsome little mandarins. Now ladies from everywhere are coming to watch the excitement, as a result..."

“What is the result?”

"As a result, someone saw the royal carriage stopping at the back door of the restaurant! Now the whole capital is rumored that you have a male pet!"

I spit out a mouthful of tea: "What nonsense! When did I..." Before I finished speaking, the courtyard gate was kicked open with a "bang". Tieu Canh Hanh, full of murderous aura, stood at the door, clutching a piece of paper in his hand, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Tham. Tri. Y." He gritted his teeth, "Explain."

I walked closer and took a look —

"Vuong Phi Tinh took care of the beautiful young master So Nguyet for three days and rewarded him with wind and moon."

“Who made this up?!” I was so angry that I jumped up, "I don't know which direction the door to Nam Phong Quan opens!"

Tieu Canh Hanh smiled coldly: "So why did your carriage appear there?" I was stunned, suddenly remembering -

"It's Xuan Dao! Yesterday she borrowed my carriage to pick up her cousin!"

Xuan Dao immediately made a "thud" sound and knelt down: "Vuong Gia Minh Giam! This servant's cousin is the one selling makeup..." Tieu Canh Hanh narrowed his eyes: "Really? Then this king will personally go ask that 'Master So Nguyet'." That night, Tieu Canh Hanh changed into civilian clothes and pulled me straight to Nam Phong Quan.

“Your Majesty, do you really have to go?” I grabbed his sleeve.

He turned around and grabbed my wrist tightly: "What? Guilty?" Inside Nam Phong Quan, the sound of bamboo silk echoed. We wear hats to cover our faces and sit in an elegant room. Not long after, the door opened and a young man in a white shirt walked in, his appearance was truly handsome.

“What is this master looking for So Nguyet?”

Tieu Canh Hanh laughed coldly and suddenly took off his hat. Young Master So Nguyet's face immediately changed: "Your Highness... Your Highness Tinh?!"

“I heard that you once served my king's royal concubine?” Tieu Canh Hanh's fingertips tapped on the table, his tone was cold, "Let's be clear."

I raised my hand and rubbed my forehead: "Your Majesty..." So Nguyet made a "thud" sound and knelt down: "Your Highness Minh Giam! This little man has never met the princess! That rumor is... is..."

"It was the young lady of the Lam family who released it! She said she wanted to take revenge on the princess because she had been humiliated in front of the crowd..."

Tieu Canh Hanh's eyes darkened, he stood up, turned around and left. I quickly chased after him: "Where are you going, Prince?"

"Killing."

Three days later, the capital exploded with the news that Lam Uyen Nhi had been exposed in the scandal of having an affair with the driver. The Lam family rushed her back to the countryside manor at night to cover up the matter. I munched on an apple while watching the excitement, clicking my tongue and praising: the prince's actions were really good. Tieu Canh Hanh was criticizing the official document, without raising his head, he just replied a faint hum. I leaned closer: but the prince believes me like that, what if I really raise a male pet? His pen stopped, then suddenly pulled me to sit straight on his lap: you can try.

“Try what?”

He bowed his head and gently bit my earlobe, his voice low: let's see if any of the male pets are still alive and can walk out of the capital. This jealousy is truly intense to the point of cruelty. To appease the prince who was smelling of sour vinegar, I decided to personally go to the kitchen. Two hours later, Tieu Canh Hanh returned to the palace. As soon as he saw black smoke billowing from the kitchen, his expression changed and he asked if there had been another fire. Xuan Dao ran out with a dirty face, screaming that the princess insisted on making a wedding cake for the royal family. Tieu Canh Hanh immediately rushed into the kitchen and pulled me - who was choking on smoke and coughing - out.
