Unruly Phoenix Xiaoyao

Chapter 100: Deep feelings for some, thin feelings for others

Qin Xuan paid his thanks to the curtain hiding Empress Zhou on the right side of the veranda before rising to look at Ning Xiaoyao with an inscrutable expression. Ning Xiaoyao felt like his expression was rather painful to her eyes.

"Your Majesty," Qin Xuan said quietly, "A palace mama said that elder sister and Xie Anyi have never, have never..." Qin Xuan repeated himself eight to nine times, but still couldn't spit it out.

Ning Xiaoyao knew what he was referring to. Basically, his wife-to-be was still a virgin daylily, but despite this, she had to feign ignorance. His Majesty Ning ended up waiting for Regional Commander Qin to finish his words before growing distressed. Shadowthunder had followed Lou Zigui and Ning Xiaoyao over. Being the honest type, his reaction to Qin Xuan's stuttering words was to speak whatever was on his mind. "Is Miss Qin unwilling to marry?"

Shadowrain had thought a bit deeper than Shadowthunder, and whispered to Ning Xiaoyao, "Could it be that Miss Qin is pregnant with that bastard Xie Anyi's child?"

"........" said Ning Xiaoyao. If that was the case, this would be a sad world indeed. Can't you stop thinking up tragedies like that?

"Just what is the problem?" Supreme Commander Lou said, finally losing his patience. How long does he want Miss Ning to stare at him?!

Qin Xuan said, "Elder sis is still..."

His Majesty is dying from impatience here! Ning Xiaoyao shook her head before scratching her face. "If you're a man, then get to the point, all right? What's wrong with Miss Qin?"

"She didn't consummate her marriage with Xie Anyi!" Qin Xuan blurted out in a rush.

Even though Supreme Commander Lou and Shadowgale had good ears, they didn't understand what Regional Commander Qin meant.

Ning Xiaoyao nodded. "So it's like that."

".........." said Qin Xuan. When he'd learned the news, he had exploded and wanted to beat up Xie Anyi right then and there. Even if His Majesty wasn't angry, he couldn't just leave it at those few words, could he?

"Mm?" Ning Xiaoyao suddenly realized something. "Mute Nanny can talk?"

Qin Xuan hastened to clarify. "That mute mama summoned two more mama to examine A'Xin." It sounded like His Majesty was concerned with completely different details.

"Then your meaning is?" Ning Xiaoyao asked.

Qin Xuang said, "If this subject may be so bold, may esteemed empress send someone to take a look at elder sister?"

Having the empress's personal mama declare Miss Qin's virginity to the assembled officials would make the news spread far and wide. That was no problem, but Ning Xiaoyao weighed the matter in her hand before she asked quietly, "So you care about things like that?"

Qin Xuan hastily shook his head. "This subject doesn't care, but that was elder sister's request."

If that was the case, then Ning Xiaoyao had no objections. She waved a hand to summon the mama who had presented the empress's rewards, then told her what to do in hushed tones. The mama shot Qin Xuan a glance while silently cursing Xie Anyi in her heart. Then she quickly walked back to Empress Zhou.

"This subject--"

"Alright, alright," Ning Xiaoyao grabbed Qin Xuan by the wrist. "Enough with the kneeling."

Lou Zigui's eyes narrowed at the sight of Ning Xiaoyao holding Qin Xuan's hand. Ning Xiaoyao was completely oblivious to his glare, but Qin Xuan, Shadowgale and the rest all felt the temperatures plummet three degrees.
