492 My Jiaojiao (5)
This mansion was where Prince Rui lived. There were several mansions in Yanqing Alley. The crown prince of the State of Qin chose the mansion closest to the street, but the innermost one was chosen by Prince Rui. No one knew if it was because he wanted to keep a distance from the State of Qin. No matter what, this mansion was the most expensive one in Yanqing Alley, twice as expensive as the one taken by the crown prince of the State of Qin. Prince Rui did not even bat an eyelid. It made people think that it was true that the treasury of the Daliang Dynasty was filled with gold.
Prince Rui was also very arrogant. On the first day he lived here, he got someone to remove the plaque at the door and change it to a golden plaque to hang it up. It said: Prince Rui’s mansion. It made people angry and amused. This Prince Rui came to Ming Qi to buy a mansion and hung up such a plaque. Was he really going to stay here forever?
At this moment, in the courtyard of Prince Rui’s mansion, something snow-white was struggling on the ground.
“It’s too fierce. It’s already so fierce as a cub. Master, why would you want to keep it?” A woman in yellow squatted on the ground and played with the snow-white creature in front of her with a wooden stick. Looking at it carefully, the creature’s eyes were clear and dark, making it look quite adorable. At this moment, it was scratching the woman’s hand with its claws. It was a young tiger that had probably been born not long ago. It was very tender. The fur on its body was a rare light color, and the patterns were not obvious. From afar, it was like a snow-white tiger.
As the woman played with the tiger cub, she suddenly gasped and threw down the wooden stick in her hand. She said angrily, “This cub looks so docile, but it actually bites people. It really hurts. I’ll tear you apart later!”
“You’d better not.” Another female voice sounded. It was a woman in a slightly charming light red dress. She looked at the tiger cub on the ground and said, “Master brought this back personally. Nightingale, I’m afraid you’ll be torn apart by Master before you can touch it.”
The woman called Nightingale stood up. The white tiger cub excitedly went forward and bit the corner of her dress. It tried to drag her back and was kicked away by Nightingale. She walked to the woman in red. “Huo Long, is Master crazy? Why is he raising a tiger for no reason? This tiger looks good and cute, but it’s ferocious by nature. What if it hurts people by accident?”
Huo Long shrugged. “It’s probably just being playful. After this white tiger was brought back, it has been eating, sleeping, and eating. It only opened its eyes for a few days, but it already knows how to bite.”
“In the future, if Master takes an enormous tiger back, His Majesty will probably have a headache.” Nightingale said with a bitter expression.
“Are the two of you slacking off here?” A man’s sharp voice sounded. The two women turned around and saw a middle-aged man striding over. He walked to the side of the cage and picked up the bowl on the top of the cage to take a look. He looked at Nightingale and Huo Long and said unhappily, “Didn’t I ask you to feed the tiger?”
“Tie Yi!” Nightingale said angrily, “When we came out of the tower jail, we thought we would be entrusted with an important task by Master. Who knew that we would be asked to take care of a tiger? We’re soldiers from Black Feather Army, not nannies.”
“Do whatever Master tells you to do. Don’t ask so many questions.” Tie Yi squatted down and fed the white tiger on the ground with a bowl. The cooked meat was cut into slices with some eggs added on it. The white tiger went forward and sniffed, eating happily.
