Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2373: Chapter 2373: Quite Annoyed

"Princess Consort of War Prince, thank you so much for saving my Yingying. Otherwise I really wouldn’t know how to explain to the Eldest Prince. The Eldest Prince likes Yingying the most; if anything had happened to her, he would definitely have blamed me." Madam Luo held Xuexue’s hand and said very gratefully.

Madam Luo relied on her son and daughter to gain a foothold in the Eldest Prince’s Mansion; if something happened to them, her status in the mansion would no longer be guaranteed.

Xuexue said, "Madam Luo, Yingying’s been frightened. You should hurry and take her back to the mansion so she can have a good rest."

"Yes, yes, go back, we must hurry back."

Madam Luo had been frightened and no longer had the arrogance she’d shown when she came. The servants were carrying the little girl; she dragged her son along and, crestfallen, left the restaurant.

"Chirp chirp chirp...! So tasty... so tasty!" Xiao Jiu flapped its wings and flew back, circling above Xuexue’s head, chirping noisily.

"Full now?" Xuexue asked with a squinting smile.

Xiao Jiu said, "Full, full."

How could it not be? It had pretty much made a round of all the dining tables in the main hall.

Just now, with that incident, all the waiters in the restaurant had been frightened. Although the guests had long since fled, the dishes on the tables hadn’t yet been cleared away, and Xiao Jiu had taken the chance to freeload a whole meal.

Zi Xia sneered, "You’re eating other people’s leftovers and still so happy about it."

Xiao Jiu said, "Tasty, tasty, just tasty, even the spit is tasty."

Xuexue laughed and said, "You’ve eaten your fill, but we haven’t yet!"

The Shopkeeper, who had been waiting on the side, heard this and immediately shuffled forward with a fawning smile. "Princess Consort, the food and wine are already prepared in a private room. Allow this humble one to lead you there."

The grand arrival of the Princess Consort of War Prince was already the greatest of honors; just now she had even saved the little girl’s life and helped the restaurant solve a big problem. Treating her to a meal really was nothing.

"All right, Shopkeeper, please lead the way." Xuexue was not polite about it.

Very soon, the Shopkeeper led the two of mistress and maid to a private room.

"Chirp chirp chirp... wait for me... wait for me!" Xiao Jiu, who had still been fighting the waiters for meat, saw the Shopkeeper leading Xuexue up to the second floor and immediately flapped its wings and flew up.

Xuexue smiled and chided, "Greedy little thing, you just said you were full and then went to eat again."

Zi Xia joined in, "Exactly, you little glutton."

Xiao Jiu reacted quickly. "I’m not going to be a cat! Cats are bad; last time one almost ate Xiao Jiu."

"Cough, cough...!" Zi Xia had almost forgotten that this little thing hated cats the most; every time cats were mentioned, it was filled with hatred.

The Shopkeeper gave Xiao Jiu a surprised look. He had long heard that the Princess Consort of War Prince had a very smart Birdy. Seeing it today, it was indeed extraordinary. Not only could it speak human language very fluently, it was also especially cute. In just a short while, it had captured the hearts of all the waiters in the restaurant. Wherever it appeared, everyone’s eyes followed it.

"Princess Consort, it’s right here. The food and wine are all prepared. Please." The Shopkeeper stopped at the door of a room.

"All right, you can withdraw. We’ll go in ourselves."

"Very well!" As the Shopkeeper replied, he conveniently pushed the door open, and when he inadvertently looked up, he got a fright.

A room that had originally been empty somehow had a person sitting in it now. And this person—well, he didn’t even know how to describe him. Because he had no hands and no feet, only a torso, yet he was sitting steadily on the stool, his mouth smacking as he ate, looking utterly content.

This table of food and wine had been specially prepared for the Princess Consort of War Prince, and now it was being ruined by someone. The Shopkeeper was a bit annoyed.
