After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Chapter 442 Counter-Complaint

Back in the room, Su Lingyue and Caidie leaned against the door, patting their chests and breathing heavily.

It took a while for the master and servant to recover.

"This Yan Qing, he doesn't go to the toilet early or late, but he has to go to the toilet at this time!"

Su Lingyue stroked her chest, very angry at Yan Qing for disrupting her hard-earned opportunity to eavesdrop.

"That's right!" Caidie echoed, "I won't pay any attention to him tomorrow to let the young lady vent her anger."

"What a beautiful butterfly!" Su Lingyue held her hand and expressed her appreciation for her sincerity.

After catching her breath, Caidie looked at Su Lingyue and asked, "Miss, are you still going to listen?"

Su Lingyue waved her hand and said, "I won't go."

Xiao Yu called them separately, probably because he wanted to ask her what she had done in the mansion.

This is consistent with Xiao Yu's overprotective behavior towards her.

However, my eavesdropping was discovered by Xiao Yu. I don’t know if Xiao Yu will question me later, so I have to think of an excuse.

"Prepare a hot bath!"

The three of them returned to the study and sat down on the chairs.

Xiao Yu frowned and asked Yun Ting: "Is the princess suspicious?"

Yun Ting nodded, "I was planning to tell the prince today. The day before the Wang family was exiled, the princess wanted to see Wang Yirong. I didn't intend to let the princess go out, but the princess became suspicious and asked why she was not allowed to leave the house.

In order to conceal the incident from the princess, I attributed it to the threat of the Huns. Later, I accompanied the princess to the Dali Temple. "

"I guess the princess didn't really believe what I said." Yun Ting frowned, his eyes cold and gloomy.

Xiao Yu curled up the corners of his lips, a faint smile appeared on his face, "She has always been smart and curious, this is reasonable."

Seeing Xiao Yu still laughing, Yan Qing became anxious, "But, we really can't tell the princess! That peacock King Jing has always been thinking about the princess!"

Xiao Yu put away his smile, his expression returned to normal, and he spoke slowly: "In the future, anything that has nothing to do with Xiao Changan should be reported in front of the princess, so that her suspicion can be dispelled. Regarding Xiao Changan's matter, find someone to send the princess away first and then report it."

Yan Qing and Yun Ting nodded together.

For now, this is all we can do.

Yun Ting then reported to Xiao Yu the movements of everyone in the capital, including the eldest princess's visit to the palace for help and Su Lingyue's advice, and then they all returned to their rooms.

*

When Xiao Yu returned to the room, Su Lingyue had already finished her bath. She had her hair tied up in a bun and was wearing a snow-white inner garment. She was sitting under the lamp with her chin in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"Yue'er."

Hearing Xiao Yu's voice, Su Lingyue came to her senses and stood up to greet him.

"Have you agreed on everything?" She smiled and took off Xiao Yu's cloak, looking at him with a scrutinizing look.

"Yeah." Xiao Yu responded, lowered his head and chuckled, with a playful look on his face, looking at Su Lingyue meaningfully.

The warm breath sprinkled on Su Lingyue's face, igniting a blush.

Su Lingyue wasn't sure if it was because the distance was too close or because she felt too guilty.

She looked away, walked over to the coat rack and put her cloak on it.

With his back to Xiao Yu, he was thinking about what had just happened.

Although what she heard were all unimportant words.

Xiao Yu is so smart, he will definitely be able to see through the excuse just now.

I don’t know what else they said.

However, she had to let Xiao Yu know what she heard.

Turning around, Xiao Yu was still standing there, looking at her with a faint smile, but his eyes were shining, as if he wanted to see through her.

Su Lingyue walked in front of Xiao Yu holding the corner of her clothes, put her arms around Xiao Yu's waist, and then slowly raised her clear eyes.

She was ready to strike first.

"When I fell at the door of the study just now, I seemed to hear Yun Ting complaining about me?" Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu with an unhappy face.

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and curved the corners of his mouth.

He wanted to hear his princess' explanation, but he didn't expect that she came to call him to task.

Xiao Yu responded, "Yes, he just told me about Yue'er's whereabouts over the past two months."

"I knew it!" Su Lingyue frowned in dissatisfaction, "My Lord, what else did he say?"

Su Lingyue said this to show that she didn't hear much, and she also wanted to know what they said later.

Xiao Yu raised his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, then said with a smile, "It's just about the daily life in the palace and the developments in the court."

His princess' words and actions were part of daily life in the palace, while Prince Jing's words and actions were related to state affairs. He only told them in general terms and did not lie.

"Really? I'm glad you didn't say anything bad about me!"

Su Lingyue avoided Xiao Yu's gaze, her face showing unconcealable joy.

Since Xiao Yu could say it so calmly, he wouldn't pursue the matter of her eavesdropping anymore!

As for what Xiao Yu said, it was also reasonable.

When the three of them got together, they usually planned to clear their grievances. It would be bad if others heard it, so they should talk in the study, away from the maids and servants.

Thinking of this, the huge stone that had been pressing on her heart for a long time finally fell to the ground, and Su Lingyue was sincerely happy.

Seeing Su Lingyue's lips curled up and her happy expression, Xiao Yu couldn't help but want to tease her.

He stroked the little face with his fingers, and the slight blush on her face made her fingers look even longer and whiter.

Xiao Yu asked with interest: "What else did Yue'er do that made her so afraid that Yun Ting would complain?"

Speaking of this, Su Lingyue didn't feel guilty at all.

The smile faded, Su Lingyue raised her eyes, met Xiao Yu's interested eyes, and said aggrievedly: "I know that the prince values ​​Yun Ting, but I think he is really stingy. When I went to see Wang Yirong that day, when we were leaving the house and getting on the carriage, he raised his arm and asked me to help him get on. I thought that only eunuchs in the palace would do such a thing, and he was the prince's right-hand man after all, how could he do it! So I refused him and got on the carriage carefully by myself."

"That day, when I refused, I said 'this is against the rules', and he took it to heart. Later, when I wanted to leave the house again, he used this to stop me!"

Speaking of this, Su Lingyue thought back to the way Yun Ting had interrupted her that day, and she still felt unhappy.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever spoken to her like this.

Su Lingyue felt relieved only after telling Xiao Yu what Yun Ting had done.

Su Lingyue spoke in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, please judge for yourself. Isn't he very stingy and ungrateful?"

The curve of Xiao Yu's lips disappeared little by little, and the tenderness and pampering in his eyes faded away, and his gaze gradually became cold.

Su Lingyue hadn't seen such a sharp look from him for a long time, and she couldn't remember the last time she saw him.

Xiao Yu's behavior made Su Lingyue feel scared, as if he was going to kill someone the next moment.

Her original intention in complaining was to ask Xiao Yu not to give up too much power, so that at least she, as the princess, would not have to be restricted by Yun Ting.

He absolutely didn't want Xiao Yu to punish Yun Ting for this, or to cause a break between the master and servant. Things weren't serious enough to that extent.

"Your Highness!" Su Lingyue tightened her arms and called Xiao Yu softly.

"Yeah." Xiao Yu came back to his senses and the sharpness and coldness in his expression faded away for the most part.

Su Lingyue raised her eyes to look at him and said gently, "In fact, his management ability is very good, but I am your princess after all. If my actions are restricted by him, how can I save my dignity as a princess! And I feel aggrieved."

She looked at Xiao Yu with sparkling eyes and said expectantly, "Your Majesty, please don't let him detain me. How about I tell you directly when I want to leave the palace? With A-Qing accompanying me, I won't be afraid of any danger."

"Okay." Xiao Yu responded gently, but the coldness in his eyes did not dissipate.
