Xiao Yuanshi didn't want to be seen as weak.
He followed Prince Yi's thick-skinned behavior and caught up with Mother Xiao, trying to find a topic to talk to her about.
This time, Prince Yi didn't go up. He knew what to do.
Moreover, with his understanding of Mdm Kong, she would definitely ignore Xiao Yuanshi.
As expected, Xiao Yuanshi didn't get a word or a look from Mother Xiao after talking for a long time.
In the end, she was even more annoyed and rolled her eyes at him. "Can you be quiet? It's very noisy."
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
Prince Yi wasn't noisy when he spoke, was he? Mdm Kong was treating them differently.
Liang Yulin saw that Kong Yuelan was getting impatient with Xiao Yuanshi.
Thus, he took the initiative to look at Xiao Yuanshi and said, "We're two adult men, it's no fun picking mushrooms with them here. Why don't we compete to see who can hunt first, and we can use it to stew mushrooms at night."
Xiao Yuanshi felt provoked again. "Fine, let's compete, Your Highness."
He couldn't recognize mushrooms, but he was an expert at hunting.
Hence, the two of them told Xiao Hanzheng's mother about it and went to look for prey with their bows.
Xi Rui was left speechless. "I'm a man too. How could my little uncle forget about me?"
Xi Rong glanced at him. "You're not his love rival. Don't get involved."
Xi Rui gave her a knowing look. "Of course. Otherwise, I'd have followed.
"Do you think our little uncle is really just competing with Xiao Yuanshi in hunting?"
He had a feeling that it wouldn't be that simple.
Xi Rong touched her chin. "He won't let Xiao Yuanshi get any benefits anyway."
When her mother was still alive, she once told her that her uncle was very evil.
In the past, he had caused Prince Jin, the most beloved son, to be at a loss in front of the late emperor.
Dealing with Xiao Yuanshi was even easier.
"I'm really looking forward to it," Xi Rui agreed.
He was also quite annoyed with Xiao Yuanshi.
Shi Qingluo also lit a candle for Xiao Hanzheng's scumbag father in her heart, wondering what Prince Yi would do to him.
In addition to demolishing him, he definitely wanted to make him a fool.
Would he cripple his leg or something?
As she guessed, she accompanied her mother-in-law to pick mushrooms.
She said to Mother Xiao, "Mother, this scumbag father wants to go back to the past."
Kong Yuelan had also roughly guessed, "That shameless thing definitely has a motive.
"Even if he's really in love, I won't fall for him again. I will only feel disgusted."
She would always remember how arrogant this scumbag was when he brought Ge Chunru back.
Since he felt that she wasn't good enough for him, why did he come back now?
It must be for his own benefit. It really disgusted her.
Especially in front of the handsome and elegant Prince Yi, she felt even more disgusted by Xiao Yuanshi.
After picking a lot of mushrooms, they sat under a big tree to rest and drink water, waiting for Prince Yi and the others to come back.
About an hour later, Prince Yi and Xiao Yuanshi came back together.
Shi Qingluo and the others saw that their scumbag father's face and hands were covered in red and swollen bumps.
Prince Yi walked over leisurely with a few pheasants and rabbits in his hand.
The contrast was really too strong.
Shi Qingluo tried to hold back his laughter. "Deputy Governor, did you just poke a hornet's nest? "
Prince Yi was really amazing. He actually played with their scumbag father like this.
Without any biasedness, Xiao Hanzheng's scumbag father was quite good-looking.
If one ignored his character, he was also a middle-aged handsome uncle. Otherwise, he would not have given birth to such a good-looking son like her little husband.
It was just that his previous behavior and expression seemed a little greasy.
Now, he was disfigured. The bumps on his face were too hurtful for his eyes.
Shi Qingluo realized that Prince Yi had the potential to cuckold others.
He gave him cups of green tea one after another to this scumbag father.
Only Prince Yi could think of such a contrasting way of pranking people.
This is too wicked, haha!
She couldn't help but sigh. Prince Yi is a talent!
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuanshi became angry. He said, "You'll have to ask His Highness about this."
He had been looking for prey, but Prince Yi had gone to poke the beehive and then led them to him.
He had originally wanted to watch a good show and thought that Prince Yi was going to suffer the consequences of his own actions.
Who would've thought that the wild bees would bypass Prince Yi, who poked their beehive, as if they were blind.
When Prince Yi passed by him, they all rushed towards him.
He was caught off guard and was badly stung.
Liang Yulin took a honeycomb filled with honey from the Guard's hand and said, "Yesterday, Yuelan said she wanted to make a cake. I saw some honey and wanted to collect some for her."
He put on an innocent face. "Maybe the wild bee thinks that I'm more handsome and Deputy Governor Xiao is uglier, so it bypassed me and specifically went to bite him."
He complimented himself for being pretty but also belittled Xiao Yuanshi for being ugly.
Xiao Yuanshi was so angry that he wanted to beat Prince Yi to death. "Don't go too far."
Liang Yulin blinked. "This is the bees' choice. It has nothing to do with me. Don't throw dirty water on me."
Then, he coughed dryly, as if he was giving a kind reminder. "Deputy Governor Xiao, if I were in your position, I would definitely leave the mountain early and not come out to scare people."
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless. Prince Yi was really good at playing.
He was clearly the one who caused this, yet he was pretending to be innocent. How detestable!
What made him lose his confidence and hurt his heart was that Kong Yuelan actually nodded in agreement. "It's indeed quite scary. It's so ugly."
Xiao Yuanshi was a man, so he didn't bring a mirror with him, so he didn't see how ugly he was now.
However, when he heard Mother Xiao's words, his face turned extremely ugly, and he felt his face hurt and itch.
Prince Yi, this bastard, must have deliberately made him embarrass himself in front of Kong Yuelan.
He was too shameless.
However, he was not willing to leave early, so he just followed them in silence.
They were mostly done picking the mushrooms, and their group went down the mountain to head back.
Liang Yulin smiled and moved closer to Xiao Hanzheng's mother, and gave away the wild chicken and rabbit he had hunted.
He even discussed with Xiao Hanzheng's mother how to make good food, like using the chili that Shi Qingluo made to make spicy rabbit meat.
When it came to cooking, Mother Xiao also had endless things to say.
The two of them talked and laughed, looking extremely close.
If one didn't know better, they would really think that they were a loving couple.
This made Xiao Yuanshi, who was following behind, feel sour in his heart.
He had even scolded Prince Yi, this shameless man who had schemed against him countless times.
On the way back, the two of them still led the way on their horses.
Xiao Yuanshi asked through gritted teeth, "How did you do it previously? You poked the bee's nest, but those bees came to sting me. "
This time, because he wasn't in front of Mother Xiao and the others, Liang Yulin didn't act innocent.
"This is all thanks to my eldest son," he said with a meaningful smile.
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned. "You have a son? "
Why had he never heard of it? Wasn't it said that Prince Yi was too weak to have children?
Where did this son come from?
He was suddenly overjoyed.
If Mdm Kong knew that Prince Yi had a son, he didn't know how Prince Yi would explain it.
"Xiao Hanzheng, my eldest son!" Prince Yi said.
"My eldest son gave me a packet of mosquito-proof powder. As long as I sprinkle it on my body, no bees, snakes, or ants will get close to me."
He even looked at Xiao Yuanshi and asked, "What do you think? My eldest son is very filial, right?"
Xiao Yuanshi's face instantly darkened. Filial, my ass. That's my son, my eldest son.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Shameless, Prince Yi was really too shameless.
