The Ancient Growth Diary of a Little Zombie

Chapter 323: Short-sighted

Chen Siting was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was being teased by the little girl again. She became angry and stretched out her claws to chase after her, pretending to scratch her.

The group left the palace while the two little girls were playing and fighting, and Shishi did not forget to inform Li Ma Ma during the process.

The original intention was to let Li Ma wait for her mother to wake up and tell her where they were going. However, when Li Ma heard that the two children wanted to leave the house by themselves, she immediately put down the work in her hands and insisted on going with them.

When Shi Shi and his group entered the Protector's Mansion with laughter and joy, the Protector's wife, who was rumored to have been unable to sleep or eat because of her desire to play poker, was receiving guests in the front hall with a radiant look on her face.

Looking at the wife of the Duke of Protectorate, who looked particularly vigorous among the ladies sitting in the hall, Shishi glanced suspiciously at the two sisters beside her.

Although she was confused, Shisi didn't ask directly. Instead, she took two steps closer, put on a sweet smile on her little face, and greeted the wife of the Duke of Protectorate in a very intimate and familiar tone.

"Aunt Liu, I'm here to play with you~~"

When she saw several people coming in, the originally calm face of the wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country suddenly showed a gentle expression.

At this time, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, as if he was surprised by the little girl's arrival, and even more surprised by what she said.

Her gaze fell on a few people, and then glanced behind them inconspicuously. Seeing that there was no one behind them except the familiar Nanny Li, she continued with a leisurely smile.

"Hey~ What wind brought our Queen here?"

Listening to the somewhat unfamiliar and polite words of the wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country, Shishi felt a little strange.

Suddenly, the expressions of several people in the hall who had been dignified before were either depressed and worried, or extremely indignant.

But when Shi Shi and the others came in, the ladies who had been sipping tea in silence suddenly stood up at the same time and bowed to Shi Shi.

"I've met Your Highness."

All those present were wives of officials from wealthy and powerful families, who were used to being high and mighty. Even though Her Majesty the Queen was praised by others, she was ultimately just a country girl with no family background.

So how could they willingly go and worship a country girl?

Originally, seeing that Princess Yongchang did not come with them, they thought that they had no one to support them. Moreover, this country girl did not understand these etiquette rules, so they wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb and get away with it.

But who would have thought that the wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country seemed to be afraid that they didn't know the identity of the visitor. When she said the four words "Her Majesty the Queen" lightly, they couldn't pretend anymore.

Although they had only met a few times, every time the wife of the Duke of Protectorate affectionately called her "Shishi" or "Little Girl's Shishi". While she was still wondering what was wrong, her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the greetings of several ladies.

"Hello everyone."

Although Shishi is very polite to people close to him and beautiful women, he clearly shows dislike and perfunctory attitude towards himself.

The corpse just waved his hand and gave a very official fake smile in response.

Although the corpse didn't know how he had offended them, he had to give the host some face when he was in someone else's house.

The wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country was also surprised by the little girl's polite and distant attitude today. After all, in the past, whenever she saw the little girl interacting with outsiders, her joy or disgust was clearly written on her little face.

Has the little girl changed her personality today, or has she finally become more shrewd?

When the wife of the Duke of Protectorate was wondering, the little girl's crisp words told her the answer.

"Aunt Liu, I heard from Sister Siyu Siting that you've been addicted to gambling lately!

This is not okay. Being addicted to gambling is not a good thing.

Come, come, Aunt Liu, come and take a look at the new toys I brought you, I’m sure you’ll like them~”

My goodness, this isn't just being smart, this is clearly just being stupid, and really stupid!

This is the image and reputation she has painstakingly built over the years!

The Lady Protector of the Country was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wished she could throw this damn girl who ruined her reputation out of the house right now.

Oh, and by the way, there are also those two unreliable gadgets of our own.

Shishi's words also successfully attracted the attention of all the ladies present, and they cast suspicious and incredible looks at the wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country.

You have to know that the ladies in the backyards of such wealthy families would play cards when they had nothing to do, but in the eyes of the world, that was just a leisurely and elegant way for the ladies to pass the time.

It has nothing to do with gambling.

Addicted to gambling!

I'm afraid these words are only suitable for desperate gamblers, right?

"Hey~ When did Sister Liu learn this new trick? She didn't even bring us sisters along~"

A lady who originally had a sad face now covered half of her smiling face with a handkerchief, revealing only a pair of eyes full of teasing and prying eyes.

Her words sounded like a very intimate scolding, but except for the Shishi siblings, everyone present knew whether they had a close relationship or not.

These ladies were only instructed by their husbands who had just returned from court, and they did not dare to go to the Yongchang Palace rashly. They thought that the princess and the wife of the Duke of Huguo had always been on good terms.

So, relying on the superficial friendship they had with the wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country in the past, they made an appointment to come to the Duke of Protector of the Country's Mansion to complain and, by the way, to find out some news and actions about Her Majesty the Queen.

But who would have thought that before they had even started telling their tale halfway through, the real culprit arrived, bringing with him such a shocking revelation.

Perhaps it was because the wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country came from a military family, she always behaved in a dignified, serious, steady and steady manner in front of these noble ladies.

And the reputation of the mistress of the Duke of Huguo's mansion has always been spread among the people, who is strict in managing the household, good at educating children, and has a noble character.

But if this news is confirmed and spread out, even if the wife of the Duke of Protectorate is still loved by the Duke of Protectorate, even if she can continue to stay in the position of mistress of the house, I am afraid she will never be able to hold her head up in this capital city in the future.

So at this moment they didn't bother to continue complaining hypocritically.

What could be more important than eating melons?

The other ladies who were a step slower also reacted immediately after hearing the obvious inquiry in the lady's words.

They were just about to chime in with a few words to test the waters, but the wife of the Duke of Protectorate spoke before they did.

"Girl, where did you learn these nonsense?

Forget it, let your aunt see what good things you brought."

In front of outsiders, the wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country rarely showed an expression of doting and helplessness, and her words subtly explained the little girl's abrupt words just now.

The ladies were already asking for help, and when they heard this and saw that the little girl had no intention of refutation, they had to give up the idea of continuing to explore.

The few people had no choice but to follow the words of the wife of the Duke of Protector of the Country and rushed forward, looking at the strange box in the little girl's hand with great curiosity.
