Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 712 - 710

Seeing that Fu Ranhui had no words to answer to Princess Ling’er’s sharp retort, Xiao’er spoke, "What if I can get a pig to herd sheep, then what will you do?"

So what if sheep could understand pig’s sounds! Her sheep could understand pig’s sounds!

Not only could they understand pig’s sounds, but also the cries of chickens, geese, cats, dogs, and birds!

Humph! Trying to mooch off me and still complaining so much, it’s really too much. Not teaching her a lesson wouldn’t match Xiao’er’s style of doing things!

"If you can get a pig to herd sheep, I’ll go herd sheep like that pig!" Princess Ling’er said arrogantly!

Everyone knows that pigs are the dumbest, and when people describe someone’s stupidity, they tend to say ’as dumb as a pig’. She really doesn’t believe that a pig can herd sheep!

"Fine, a deal it is!" Sneered Xiao’er inwardly, ha! Just wait and see how you become more ignorant than a pig in front of everyone!

Remembering something, Princess Ling’er quickly added, "The deadline is in ten days! If you can’t get the pig to herd sheep by then, you must agree to one of my conditions, deal?"

Everyone thought after hearing Princess Ling’er’s words: Shameless! Utterly shameless!

Even ten years might not be enough to teach a pig to herd sheep, ten days? Clearly, she’s deliberately not giving Xiao’er enough time to train.

The Emperor frowned when he heard these words and was about to say something.

Xiao’er jumped in, "If I lose, I have to agree to a condition of yours. If I win, you only need to herd sheep like a pig. It seems like I’m at a disadvantage!"

Humph! She wasn’t scared even if it was just one day! The situation was highly favorable. It would be a waste not to take this opportunity to make Princess Ling’er bleed a little bit more for her hard-working pig.

Princess Ling’er assumed Xiao’er wanted to back out, so she declared, "Why don’t we agree the loser must agree to one condition from the winner, and also learn to herd sheep like a pig!"

Just what Xiao’er wanted!

"Deal! Watch how my pig herds sheep! Just make sure you don’t go back on your word!"

Xiao’er cast a glance at Princess Ling’er, heh... just you wait to end up worse off than a pig!

Everyone thought Xiao’er wouldn’t agree to such an unreasonable request. But unexpectedly, she agreed without hesitation.

Gu Qiqi turned around, looking worriedly at Xiao’er.

A moment of impulse can lead to many problems!

Noticing her gaze, Xiao’er gave Qiqi a confident look.

Qiqi was then reassured.

Princess Ling’er was extremely pleased with herself. When it was time for her to win, she would take the opportunity to demand to marry the Sixth Prince and become his primary wife, turning Shen Xiao’er into a concubine. Thinking about this, Princess Ling’er provocatively glanced at Xiao’er and firmly said, "I won’t be going back on my word, as long as you don’t!"

The Fifth Princess was sitting on the other side of Xiao’er. She quietly tugged at Xiao’er’s clothes and shook her head gently.

Princess Ling’er’s intention to become Guan Xuanyi’s wife was obvious to all. Her condition would definitely be to marry Shangguan Xuanyi.

Teaching a pig to herd sheep might be harder than teaching it to climb a tree, not to mention in such a short period of ten days —the odds of success were slim!

Xiao’er patted the hand of the Fifth Princess, reassuring her.

Seeing that Xiao’er was not to be persuaded, the Fifth Princess said, "This isn’t fair! Ten days is too short! It should be ten months!"

Actually, the Fifth Princess wanted to say ten years, but that seemed too exaggerated.

"How can it be unfair if we both agreed? You’re not planning on backing out now, are you?" Ling’er deliberately provoked Xiao’er, not giving her a chance to back out.

"I always keep my word! Absolutely no backing out!"

Fu Ranhui and the Fifth Princess felt like banging their heads against a wall! They truly didn’t know where her confidence came from!

Princess Ling’er chuckled inwardly: That was exactly the words she was waiting for.

"If I win, my condition is to marry the Sixth Prince and become his main wife! You’d better not go back on your word! Empress Dowager and Emperor, you need to be our witnesses!" Princess Ling’er, fearing that Shangguan Xuanyi would go back on his word afterwards, got the Empress Dowager and the Emperor as witnesses, now everything was almost in the bag.

The Emperor: "..." He genuinely wanted to pretend he hadn’t heard. He really didn’t want such a daughter-in-law! If Princess Ling’er became Yi’er’s main wife, it seemed to him a case of casting pearls before swine.

Thinking of her previous intentions, the Empress Dowager nodded, "Alright, I’ll be a witness."

Her son was committed to love. The three thousand beauties she had chosen for the Emperor’s harem were nothing more than ornaments. As he shunned his responsibilities towards her, the Empress Dowager, his grandson could not follow in his father’s footsteps. He must contribute to the royal family’s lineage.

Upon hearing this, Princess Ling’er felt elated: With the Empress Dowager and the Emperor as witnesses, no one can back out!

The Emperor was initially worried, but seeing Xiao’er’s full confidence, he wondered: Could this girl really teach a pig to herd sheep? If she could even teach a pig, then naturally she could teach humans! Perhaps he should let this girl be a teacher at the Imperial College? Such a talent left unused would be a waste!

The Emperor’s foresight must be mentioned.

The anger brewing within Shangguan Xuanyi at that moment was unbearable! He swore to punish this girl when they were back home! She dared to make a bet using him.

Princess Ling’er sneaked a glance at Shangguan Xuanyi and found that he looked upset. It seemed he also thought Shen Xiao’er wouldn’t win!

Thus, she felt even more assured.

Catching Princess Ling’er’s gaze, Shangguan Xuanyi raised his head and gave her a cold look, his eyes containing a warning and murderous intent.

Princess Ling’er recoiled in fright and quickly averted her gaze.

"Xuanyi, your wife is incredible!" Shangguan Ruixi started praising that she could even teach pigs how to herd sheep.

Shangguan Xuanyi, still seething in anger, gave Shangguan Ruixi a cold glance, prompting him to rub his nose and stop his praises.

Xiao’er noticed someone’s unhappiness at that moment: Oops! She had been careless and forgot to consider his feelings.

Xiao’er quietly held his hand, flashing a flattering smile, and wagging her tail just short of having it attached: "Husband, don’t worry, I will definitely win. I won’t lose you!"

She said she won’t lose him!

Look, she did this on purpose!

Unforgivable!

Shangguan Xuanyi remained unamused.

Oh no, things were getting out of hand! Xiao’er pondered then leaned close to Shangguan Xuanyi’s ear, whispered so only the two of them could hear, "Honey, I love you, don’t be angry! Anger makes you age faster."

Shangguan Xuanyi’s face softened a bit, but he glared at Xiao’er, still annoyed!

Xiao’er sighed with relief, it was fine as long as he stared but was not angry - he could stare all he wanted! It’s not like she’d lose a piece of flesh!

Xiao’er flashed Shangguan Xuanyi a smile, then ignored him.

Now the competition was about to start, Xiao’er turned and started explaining the rules to everyone, not glancing at Shangguan Xuanyi again.

Such a perfunctory attitude? Which was more important in her heart? Was it explaining the competition rules to others or her own husband? Shangguan Xuanyi’s face got even darker!

That girl was getting more and more cheeky, completely disregarding him. Publicly disciplining a son, and behind closed doors, a wife. He’d better give her a lesson tonight! If she wasn’t given a serious lesson, she’d sell him one day and he wouldn’t even be aware.

Shangguan Xuanyi sure wasn’t going to be sold off by that girl and then help her count the money!
