Song Yu fell onto her knees immediately, “The Viscount must never! Our princess… Although our princess is young, she is a female. It’s inappropriate for men and women to be in the same room together alone. If the Viscount spends the night in the princess’s room, the princess’s reputation will be ruined!”
Xi Xingjiang raised his head and glared at her irritably, “What’s the use of a good reputation if she doesn’t even have her life? I will stay here every night before returning to the palace. If another assassin comes again, I will kill one, if two come, I will kill both!”
“…”
Song Yu was already worried about the matter of the assassin. After hearing what he said, she was stunned, and began to struggle between the princess’ reputation and her safety.
Xi Xingjiang laid on the floor bedding happily, using his hands as a pillow, and crossed his legs, “Okay, wash and sleep.”
Lin Feilu muttered, “Get out of here.”
He half lifted his body, squinted at her from below, lecturing, “Girls can’t be so vulgar!” He swayed his leg leisurely, “Eh, little bean, I’m surprised, you are always so cute and gentle in front of your brothers. How come it’s always uncute when you’re together with me?”
“I won’t give you even a drop of it! Get up!”
The more frustrated she got, the more he relished in it. As the two continued to bicker, a series of footsteps was heard right outside the room, followed by the salute of the palace servants, “Greetings to the Fourth Prince.”
Lin Jingyuan was shouting “Little Lu” all the way as he ran in.
His eyes laid on Xi Xingjiang as soon as he entered the room, his eyes widened in fury. He rushed towards Xi Xingjiang with threatening gestures, “You shameless man! What are you doing in my sister’s room?!”
Lin Feilu watched as the two wrestled with each other.
The destructive power of the two kids was almost doubled.
In the end, Xi Xingjiang pulled out a short knife from the quilt and shouted “I’m here to protect Little Lu!” that put an end to this “skirmish”.
Lin Jingyuan looked at his short knife, then at his Fifth Sister who was standing aside. His eyes rolled, and then plopped himself on the floor, “Then I’ll sleep here too, I also want to protect my Fifth Sister!”
Xi Xingjiang sneered, “With your terrible skills?”
Lin Jingyuan was furious. “Don’t look down on people!”
Lin Feilu was about to open her mouth before the two of them start another fight, suddenly another person whom Lin Feilu did not recognise entered the room hurriedly. He greeted Lin Feilu and Lin Jingyuan, then said anxiously, “Viscount, the Lady has a message.”
Xi Xingjiang jolted, showing a trace of rebellion on his face, and then asked with a dry cough, “How did my aunt know that I am here?”
He lowered his head and said, “The lady said, she not only knows that you are here, but also knows what you are going to do. If you do not appear in front of her within the time of a pot of tea, she will come and break your legs in person.”
“…”
Lin Feilu was silent.
Lin Jingyuan, on the other hand, burst out in laughter, “Hahahahahahahaha…”
Xi Xingjiang glared at the eunuch, looking extremely annoyed; but felt embarrassed when he heard Lin Jingyuan’s unbridled ridicule. He pleaded, “Go back and tell aunt that I want to stay and protect the Fifth Princess.”
The eunuch still hung his head, and dutifully repeated, “The lady said, there are guards stationed here, and your protection won’t be needed. If you insist on staying, then… Then sleep in the corridor.”
“…”
