The Princess Seeks Money: The Empress of the Unparalleled Kingdom

Chapter 162 Insomnia
Jiang Duruo didn't know how she got through the night, anyway, it was early in the morning, before dawn, she had already woken up, and walked lazily to the kitchen to find something to eat, worrying her One night, Mo Xi, who got up early in the morning to make porridge for him, was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.

"Ah! Ghost!" Mo Xi backed away in fright, and assumed the posture of Wu Song fighting a tiger.

Jiang Duruo had half a carrot in his mouth, black eyes as big as a panda, and disheveled hair like straw. He was sitting on the futon in front of the stove with a disheveled face, staring at Moxi with a pair of ashen eyes.

"You're tight, aren't you!"

Hearing the familiar voice, although it was a little hoarse, but the gloomy tone was definitely Jiang Duruo's, so Mo Xi put down his hands, took a few steps forward tentatively, took a closer look, and found that it was true. It was Jiang Duruo, who couldn't help being surprised and said: "Sister Du Ruo, what's wrong with you? That guy Mu Yunxi bullied you? How did you get into this? I'll kill you!"

"Stop!" Jiang Duruo saw Mo Xi's aggressive expression, and hurriedly threw the half carrot in his mouth at him.

"Ouch!" The carrot hit the back of Mo Xi's head hard, and he couldn't help shouting out in pain, he stopped in his tracks, turned around, looked at Jiang Duruo with an aggrieved face, flattened his mouth, He said pitifully, "Sister Du Ruo, it hurts!"

Jiang Duruo rolled his eyes, raised a hand, waved to him, and said softly, "Come here."

Mo Xi immediately leaned over like an obedient puppy, and said with a flattering face, "Sister Du Ruo."

Jiang Duruo watched Mo Xi walk up to him, his face suddenly changed, he stretched out his hand to pinch his ear, and said angrily, "What the hell did you do so early in the morning!"

"Oh, oh, it hurts, it hurts! Sister Du Ruo, sister, I was wrong, let me go!" Moxi suddenly grinned in pain, showing no integrity at all when his most fragile and sensitive ears were pinched like this.

Jiang Duruo finally let go, looked at him coldly, and said viciously: "Say! Why are you sneaking around so early in the morning!"

Mo Xi said with an aggrieved face, "It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin..."

"Huh?" Jiang Duruo raised his tone unconsciously, and shot a sharp look like a knife.

Mo Xi immediately shut up, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Hey, Sister Du Ruo, I'm not talking about you, I mean, I see that you haven't been very happy since yesterday, and you didn't come down for dinner last night, so you're worried , don’t plan to get up early and cook some rice porridge for you!”

Jiang Duruo was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Make porridge for me?"

Mo Xi nodded solemnly, and said seriously: "Sister Du Ruo, I really love you."

Jiang Duruo chuckled: "Hey, my sister is hungry, go make porridge, my sister is waiting here."

Moxi looked at Jiang Duruo's face that changed as soon as she said it, with black lines on her face, but seeing her decadent appearance, she felt really distressed, so she couldn't help but shook her head, and went to make porridge for Jiang Duruo resignedly.

Jiang Duruo picked up another carrot, squatted aside and gnawed on it like a rat.

Mo Xi was afraid that she would have an upset stomach if she ate too much, so she couldn't help reminding: "Sister Du Ruo, I know you're feeling uncomfortable, but don't torment yourself like this, it's really uncomfortable to watch."

Jiang Duruo looked like he was being poked at the center of the matter, but he refused to admit it, and said stubbornly: "What are you talking about? I'm so idle, why do you want to torment yourself!"

Mo Xi couldn't help curling his lips and said: "Sister, can you hide your thoughts from me? At first I thought it was Mu Yunxi who made you unhappy or bullied you, but when I thought about it, that guy yesterday did nothing but I came here in the morning, but I didn’t come to disturb you. Besides, with my sister’s character, let alone one Mu Yunxi, even ten Mu Yunxis are no match! How could he bully you!”

Jiang Duruo didn't speak, it seemed that he had acquiesced.

Seeing that Jiang Duruo didn't have an angry expression on his face, Moxi couldn't help but continued: "According to my observations, the person who can call my sister such an obsessive person over the years is probably the damn bitch you're talking about..."

"Nonsense!" Jiang Duruo interrupted angrily without waiting for Moxi to finish speaking: "Sister, my six roots have been removed, and I am not in the world of mortals. How could I torment myself for a dead mother? Stop talking nonsense and cook porridge cleanly. Sister, I'm hungry!"

After Jiang Duruo finished speaking, he left the kitchen without looking back as if he was running away.

Mo Xi looked at her panic-stricken back and couldn't help but shook his head, and sighed, "Sister Du Ruo, why hide it from me, we are family!"

"Shang Huaisu, I hope you won't let Sister Du Ruo's hard work go!" He murmured in a low voice, and began to wash the rice seriously.

Since Sister Du Ruo's heart is empty, she can only fill her stomach first.

After Jiang Duruo returned to the room, she couldn't help being alone in a daze again, and she didn't come back to herself until Fu Rong knocked on the door.

Furong opened the door and came in. Seeing Jiang Duruo's appearance, she couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously asked, "Princess, you... what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Jiang Duruo couldn't help but roll his eyes frequently, is it really that obvious?She just suffered from insomnia, why everyone saw her as if she had seen a ghost.

"This princess is alive and well, how could she be sick, don't curse me." Jiang Duruo said in a bad mood.

Furong subconsciously shut up, she also felt that Jiang Duruo's mood seemed not quite right, she couldn't help laughing: "What would the princess want to eat, my injury has healed, let's make something delicious for the princess!"

Jiang Duruo shook his head, frowned and said, "Don't bother, I don't have any appetite, Moxi is already cooking porridge, just eat a little later."

"What's wrong with Fang'er? How can you just have breakfast casually!" With a low voice, Mu Yunxi strode into Jiang Duruo's room, and told Furong: "Go, make some delicious ones. Let’s have some light dishes.”

When Furong heard the words, she hurriedly responded respectfully and withdrew.

Jiang Duruo didn't even raise his eyelids, and said calmly: "This princess is still ill, please forgive me from the national teacher, and I won't see any guests for now."

Mu Yunxi didn't care about the disrespect in Jiang Duruo's tone, and said with a smile: "Yesterday you said you were sick, and I just took it as an excuse for you to shirk me. I didn't expect to see it today, and I am so sick. You can't be willful, you need to see a doctor when you are sick."

Jiang Duruo snorted without smiling, and said: "Master Lao is worried, but there is no need to see a doctor. I am just a sequelae of insomnia last night, nothing serious."

"That can't be done, Fang'er, be obedient!" Mu Yunxi's tone couldn't help becoming a little tougher.
