Chapter 904: 416 lines of poetry (second watch of the night)_3

"Shut your mouth!" Liu Yisheng said, annoyed.

Gu Jiao asked, "How did you get the injury on your face?"

Yuan Tang raised his eyebrows, "You care that much about me?"

Liu Yisheng said icily, "Stop talking nonsense."

Yuan Tang shrugged helplessly, pointing at the big white cat on Gu Jiao’s leg with his folding fan, "How else? It scratched me!"

Gu Jiao looked at the white cat on her leg, "You scratched him?"

The white cat closed its eyes and feigned death.

Liu Yisheng said, "It did scratch him, I saw it."

Gu Jiao asked, "When did it scratch you?"

Liu Yisheng said, "Last night. He climbed over the wall into the house, and the white cat, thinking a thief had entered, gave him a scratch."

This little thing turned out to be quite ferocious.

Yuan Tang looked at the white cat with reproach, "I haven’t seen you for just a few days, and you’ve forgotten who used to take care of you!"

Liu Yisheng was not the type to lie to her, and according to Gu Jiao’s observation just now, the marks on Yuan Tang’s face didn’t seem like finger marks but more like scratches from sharp claws.

Of course, it didn’t rule out another possibility—that the slap hadn’t left much of a mark, and that applying ice to it might have quickly reduced the swelling.

Yuan Tang, seeing Gu Jiao deep in thought, said, "Hey, why are you staring at me like that? Are all Zhan Country’s people this strange today? First, Princess Rui screamed when she saw my injured face, and then you go touching my face."

Liu Yisheng was fed up with him, "Who touched you? Keep spouting nonsense like this and don’t come here next time."

Yuan Tang immediately cowered, "Alright, alright, I’ll keep quiet!"

The matter was indeed getting strange without suspecting Yuan Tang.

It didn’t matter to her whom Wo Linlang had a private meeting with, but since Gu Jiao stumbled upon their secret, if the other party discovered this matter, they might well harm her and Princess Rui.

So, it was best to expose that person as soon as possible.

Gu Jiao watched Yuan Tang intently and asked, "Do you know the crown princess?"

Yuan Tang asked, "Which country’s crown princess?"

Gu Jiao said, "Zhan Country’s crown princess."

Yuan Tang raised his eyebrows meaningfully, "Oh, the one betrothed to Zhaodu’s young marquis, right? Yes, I know her. What about it?"

"It’s the former fiancée, they’re not related anymore," Gu Jiao corrected Yuan Tang, then asked, "Did you see her yesterday?"
