Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Walked Many Unnecessary Paths

Little Baby contemptuously glanced at her, thinking that they really treated him like a clueless child!

"You are just a maid who sold herself, do you have a family? Don’t think that this Young Master can be easily deceived because he is a child!"

Little Baby, with a look of mocking wonder, made Zi Xia laugh: "Surprisingly, you, a little baby, are quite clever to know what it means to be a maid who sold herself."

"Of course, I know! The Young Master has been well-read since childhood, knowledgeable about astronomy above and geography below, there is nothing that can escape my eyes," Little Baby said with a proud look.

Indeed, his true identity is the Thousand-Year Divine Beast, the spotted tiger. With his indestructible body, he often roams the human world, naturally knowing more than ordinary people.

Zi Xia thought he was bragging and didn’t take him seriously, just explained with a laugh: "This maid did not sell herself to enter the General’s Mansion, so it doesn’t count as selling oneself. It’s because the General was kind to this maid in the past, so I willingly entered the General’s Mansion to repay his kindness, and to this day I am still a free person!"

Zi Xia’s backstory, Xuexue had known since her previous life, so she wasn’t surprised to hear it this way.

Suddenly enlightened, Little Baby began to understand Zi Xia better. Surprisingly, the personal Maid of his master also believed in repaying kindness, which made him regard her more favorably and he nodded in appreciation: "So that’s how it is."

"How about it? Will you agree to stay at my house now?"

"I won’t go." Little Baby disdainfully tossed his head.

"Why not?"

"Do I even need to say? Because your house isn’t as luxurious as the General’s Mansion, not as beautiful as the General’s Mansion, and doesn’t have as many good things to eat," Little Baby said with a mercenary look, unapologetically. Because he was young and also had a cute appearance, people didn’t feel offended, instead, they found his childlike words quite innocent and endearing.

"Dear me! You’re so young yet you value material things too highly, that’s not good!"

"I am a material boy, what about it?"

With such a retort, Zi Xia found herself at a loss for words.

"Lady, the Little Baby doesn’t wish to go to your servant’s home, what should we do?" Zi Xia signified she was out of options concerning Little Baby.

As Zi Xia felt helpless, Xuexue laughed. Little Baby was a Thousand-Year Divine Beast, Zi Xia was no match for him, she said, "Zi Xia, don’t worry about it, just let Little Baby stay with me. It’s no trouble."

Zi Xia became anxious upon hearing this: "But, Miss...you..."

Xuexue waved her hand to stop her, saying, "Ever since your Miss came back to the Capital, rumors were already rampant. What difference does one more make?"

"But...!"

"Let it be."

Xuexue no longer wanted to discuss this topic and closed her eyes.

Zi Xia had no choice but to stay silent, sitting quietly to the side.

Little Baby was extremely pleased, his tiny body leaning against the window, humming a little tune, in a very cheerful mood.

Indeed, the scene of him being openly taken back to the General’s Mansion was already planned by him and Xuexue—how could it change just because of a word from Zi Xia!

The procession was mighty and soon entered the Capital.

Not long after entering, at a three-way intersection, Xuexue called for the Palanquin Porter to stop.

"Lady, may I assist you with anything?" The Palanquin Porter hurriedly asked.

Because the palanquin was stopped, it blocked the following convoy, delaying them, and they also stopped.

"Go and report to the Fourth Prince. Tell him that this young lady will part ways with them here."

The Palanquin Porter knew that if they continued straight for about three hundred meters, they would reach the General’s Mansion, while the fourth prince’s mansion was at this intersection where a turn was needed. Miss’s palanquin, if following the convoy, would have to circle around the Capital to return to the General’s Mansion, indeed it would be taking an unnecessary long detour.
