Chapter 57 Part 1 — (1/2)
The beauty lifted her skirt to chase it, only to see… the little fox falling into the arms of Nan Gongyin.
”Your Highness.”
The beauty gave a slight bow, her autumn like eyes quickly glanced at Nan Gongyin before retracting her gaze. It would be rude if she stared any longer.
Nan Gongyin nodded in reply before speaking gently, ”This is Ben Gong's little fox. If it had offend Miss Ji in any way, I request Miss Ji to not blame it.”
The little fox gaped at the beauty, her surnamed was also Ji? Nan Gongyin called her Miss Ji, so would Ji Yun Niangniang1 either be her immediate family or relative?

On the other hand, the little fox failed to notice the amused Nan Gongyin, and only saw Ji Yunxue's hairpin. By the time she glanced towards Nan Gonyin, he had already retracted his smile. Jade-like fingers stroked the little fox's head, and they left the courtyard together.
Only when Nan Gongyin turn to leave did Miss Ji break out of her daze. Staring at his departing back, she had said nothing. But her heart was a little lost. Just then, she was out of character….
