Chapter 397 The Socially Horrible Princess and Her Secret Guards 21
*
The lights in the bedroom were bright. Yun Wu, who had been hungry for a day, was sitting at the table eating dinner. A large bowl of pig's trotters in front of her was eye-catching.
Silver charcoal was burning in the hall. She was wearing a thin skirt and gnawing on a well-stewed pig's trotter in her hand.
Yun Wu took two bites and then raised her eyes to look at Rong Jin and snorted coldly. She took two more bites and then raised her head and snorted again.
"Awu, eat slowly."
Rong Jin's voice was unembellished, less gentle than usual and more profound like a man's.
Yun Wu was still a little uncomfortable with what she heard, when suddenly she saw Rong Jin reaching out his hand towards her.
She quickly held the entire plate of pig's trotters in front of her, fearing that Rong Jin would snatch it away and eat it.
Fortunately, Rong Jin just put a clean handkerchief in front of her for her to wipe the corners of her mouth, and did not try to snatch the pig's trotters to eat.
"Awu was drugged last night, and it was difficult to defend myself, so I overstepped my bounds..."
Rong Jin lowered his eyes and said, Yun Wu coughed twice due to being choked, her cheeks flushed as she quietly lowered her head to look at her feet which had just been put into stockings.
If she remembered correctly, she found that she seemed to have been bitten by teeth when she woke up...
Yun Wu's cheeks turned even redder. She couldn't remember the details of what happened. Now she was embarrassed and pretended to chew the pig's trotter as if nothing had happened.
"As for the matter of a man dressed as a woman, I deceived Awu."
Rong Jin lowered his eyes and spoke in a deep voice, his hands clenched tighter.
But he had already thought it through when he held Yun Wu in his arms last night. After Yun Wu woke up, he would tell her everything about himself.
"My last name is Si, and I am the son of the late General Si."
After listening to what Rong Jin said, Yun Wu was stunned for a moment, and then her bright eyes widened slightly.
She was so surprised that she almost couldn't hold the half-eaten pig's trotter in her hand.
"You, you, you are from the Si family!"
Yun Wu had heard her father, the Emperor, mention General Si several times, and he always expressed regret and sorrow over the loss of all the loyal and brave members of the Si family in the battle of Lucheng.
Everyone clearly thought that the Si family had no descendants, but they didn't expect Rong Jin to be...
"What happened back then was complicated. Someone did it on purpose and killed my parents and everyone in the Si family. I was lucky enough to survive with my private guards..."
Rong Jin said in a deep voice, he lowered his eyes and stared at his clenched hands, as if recalling the past.
"In order to stop being hunted, I hid my identity and traveled around with my personal guards. Later, I disguised myself as a woman and hid in the Dark Guard Camp to secretly investigate what happened back then. The Dark Guard Camp's leader, Bai Shu, is my subordinate."
"Then why did you take the initiative to be my secret guard?"
Yun Wu asked, then absentmindedly took a bite of the delicious pig's trotter.
Rong Jin then raised his eyes and looked at her. It seemed that she was the only one in his dark and deep eyes, and his passionate emotions flowed straight towards Yun Wu.
"The first time I saw you that day, I wanted to be by your side. Maybe I couldn't even protect myself at that time, and my identity might be discovered when I entered the palace, but I wanted to stay with you."
Yun Wu couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and her ears suddenly felt hot.
She looked at Rong Jin's figure and couldn't help but think of his past days.
Although Rong Jin's tone was very light, Yun Wu knew that escaping from the conspiracy of the Si family and hiding from here and there must have been an extremely difficult time...
"Why is Awu crying?"
Rong Jin suddenly asked. Yun Wu's eyes turned slightly red. She quickly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and pretended nothing had happened.
She pushed the big bowl of pig's trotters in front of her towards Rong Jin.
"These are for you to eat..."
Yun Wu said, her little eyes still staring at the plate of pig's trotters and she swallowed her saliva, but still reluctantly pushed her favorite food to Rong Jin.
"Eating delicious food will make you happier."
She thought about it, then took out two or three pieces of maltose that she had secretly hidden from her sleeves, and presented them to Rong Jin like a treasure.
"Eating candy will make you happy."
Rong Jin's eyes were deep, he stared at Yun Wu with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
"It's okay. Awu, aren't you hungry? Awu, eat first."
This is not what he wants to eat.
"You said it, it's not that I won't give it to you, hum..."
Yun Wu blinked her eyes, threw aside the pig's trotters and the maltose, and picked up another one to start chewing on.
"I will forgive you for lying to me for now. I will not ask my father to punish you for bullying me. Someone else harmed me last night, so..."
While eating, she raised her head and glanced at Rong Jin cautiously.
"Anyway...don't mention what happened last night again!"
Yun Wu's cheeks were flushed, and she was gnawing on a pig's trotter to hide her emotions and expression.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been with Rong Jin for a long time, but now I was surprised and couldn’t believe it at first when I found out that he was a man, but now I don’t think it’s a big deal.
"Awu, do you know who set up the trap last night?"
Yun Wu was stunned while chewing the pig's trotter. In fact, she already had a guess in her mind. She asked uncertainly:
"Is it Prince Jin?"
Because the Hanshan Villa where we were last night was under the management and jurisdiction of Prince Jin, the most likely person is Prince Jin.
"I have asked someone to investigate. You don't have to worry about it anymore, I will take care of it."
Rong Jin said in a deep voice, because if this matter is to be resolved immediately it will bring about a lot of trouble.
For example, Awu's reputation and the power of Prince Jin that is connected to the court and the public may not receive the punishment they deserve.
He did not tell Ah Wu that the one who murdered the Si family was Prince Jin, because he already had a plan in mind...
"it is good……"
Yun Wu nodded. Since Rong Jin didn't tell her in detail, she didn't ask. Perhaps this was the long-standing sense of trust and dependence.
She began to eat the pig's trotters attentively, but with Rong Jin watching her, she ate just enough and didn't get too full.
After dinner, Yun Wu happily wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.
"Awu, have you finished your meal?"
"Okay, okay, now I know not to eat too much."
Yun Wu touched her belly and said, there are plenty of pig trotters and they won’t run away, so she will continue eating them tomorrow.
Rong Jin had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were deep, and then he said:
"Is the princess still feeling unwell?"
Yun Wu blinked her eyes and then realized what Rong Jin meant.
"No……"
She quickly shook her head, looking somewhat hesitant, and then asked in a low voice with some curiosity:
"Is it really the same as what is depicted in the picture book?"
Yun Wu blushed as soon as she asked the question, then she looked away and snorted:
"I won't say any more. Anyway, I have completely forgotten about it. That's why I'm not curious about it!"
She stood up from the couch and ran to the inner bedroom as if escaping.
